SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On June 30, 2010, the Department of Commerce (``the Department'') published the initiation of the administrative review of the antidumping duty order on citric acid and certain citrate salts
(``citric acid'') from the People's Republic of China (``PRC''). See
Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative
Reviews and Deferral of Administrative Review, 75 FR 37759 (June 30, 2010). On June 10, 2011, the Department published the preliminary results of the first administrative review of the antidumping duty order of citric acid from the PRC. See Citric Acid and Certain Citrate
Salts From the People's Republic of China: Preliminary Results of the
First Administrative Review of the Antidumping Duty Order; and Partial
Rescission of Administrative Review, 76 FR 34048 (June 10, 2011). This review covers the periods November 20, 2008, through May 19, 2009, and
May 29, 2009, through April 30, 2010. The final results of this review are currently due no later than October 8, 2011.
Extension of Time Limit for Final Results of Review
Pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the Act''), the Department shall make a final determination in an administrative review of an antidumping duty order within 120 days after the last day of the anniversary month of the date of publication of the order. The Act further provides, however, that the
Department may extend that 120-day period to 180 days if it determines it is not practicable to complete the review within the foregoing time period.
The Department finds that it is not practicable to complete the final results of the administrative review of citric acid from the PRC within this time limit. Specifically, additional time is needed to examine respondents' production process, factors of production, and financial statements. Furthermore, the Department requires additional time to prepare for on-site verifications of respondent companies.
Therefore, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, the
Department is fully extending the time period for completion of the final results of this review, which is currently due on October 8, 2011, by 60 days. Therefore, the final results are now due no later than December 7, 2011.
This notice is published in accordance with sections 751(a)(3)(A) and 777(i) of the Act.
Dated: July 22, 2011.
Christian Marsh,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Operations.
