Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp From the Socialist Republic of 
Vietnam: Extension of Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative 
Review

AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (``Department'') is extending the 
time limits for the final results of the administrative review of 
certain frozen warmwater shrimp from the Socialist Republic of Vietnam 
(``Vietnam''). The review covers the period February 1, 2009, through 
January 31, 2010.

DATES: Effective Date: June 22, 2011.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Susan Pulongbarit, Paul Walker, or 
Jerry Huang, AD/CVD Operations, Office 9, Import Administration, 
International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th 
Street and Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20230; telephone: 
(202) 482-4031, (202) 482-0413, or (202) 482-4047, respectively.

Background

    On April 9, 2010, the Department published in the Federal Register 
a notice of initiation of the administrative reviews of the antidumping 
duty orders on certain frozen warmwater shrimp from Vietnam and the 
People's Republic of China. See Notice of Initiation of Administrative 
Reviews and Requests for Revocation in Part of the Antidumping Duty 
Orders on Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp From the Socialist Republic 
of Vietnam and the People's Republic of China, 75 FR 18154 (April 9, 
2010). On March 4, 2011, the Department published the preliminary 
results of the review of shrimp from Vietnam. See Certain Frozen 
Warmwater Shrimp From the Socialist Republic of Vietnam: Preliminary 
Results, Partial Rescission, and Request for Revocation, In Part, of 
the Fifth Administrative Review, 76 FR 12054 (March 4, 2011). The final 
results are currently due no later than July 5, 2011.

Statutory Time Limits

    In antidumping duty administrative reviews, section 751(a)(3)(A) of 
the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the Act''), requires the 
Department to make a final determination in an administrative review of 
an antidumping duty order within 120 days after the date on which the 
preliminary results are published. However, if it is not practicable to 
complete the review within this time period, section 751(a)(3)(A) of 
the Act allows the Department to extend the 120 day period to 180 days 
after the preliminary results if it determines it is not practicable to 
complete the review within the foregoing time period.

Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results of Review

    We determine that it is not practicable to complete the final 
results of this administrative review within the 120 day time limit 
because the Department requires additional time to analyze issues in 
case and rebuttal briefs submitted by parties, including comments on 
surrogate country selection, wage rate calculation, and shrimp 
surrogate value.
    Therefore, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, the 
Department is extending the time period for completion of the final 
results of this review, which is currently due on July 5, 2011, by 45 
days to 165 days after the date on which the preliminary results were 
published. Therefore, the final results are now due no later than 
August 16, 2011.
    We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(3)(A) and 777(i) of the Act.

    Dated: June 15, 2011.
Christian Marsh,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
