Extension of Time Limit for Final Results

Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), requires the Department to issue the final results of this administrative review within 120 days after the date on which the preliminary results were published in the

See

section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(1).

The Department finds that it is not practicable to complete this review within the original time frame. In order to fully evaluate the issues raised by all interested parties concerning the choice of surrogate country, the proper source of financial ratios, and other case issues, we are extending the time frame for completion of this review. Consequently, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2), the Department is extending the time period for issuing the final results of review by 60 days. Therefore, the final results will be due no later than March 5, 2012.
