[[Page 40325]]

Background

    On December 28, 2010, the U.S. Department of Commerce 
(``Department'') published a notice of initiation of administrative 
review of the antidumping duty order on diamond sawblades and parts 
thereof from the Republic of Korea, covering the period January 23, 
2009, through October 31, 2010. See Initiation of Antidumping and 
Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and Request for Revocation 
In Part, 75 FR 81565 (December 28, 2010). The preliminary results of 
this administrative review are currently due no later than August 2, 
2011.

Statutory Time Limits

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the 
Act''), requires the Department to issue the preliminary results of an 
administrative review within 245 days after the last day of the 
anniversary month of an order for which a review is requested and issue 
the final results within 120 days after the date on which the 
preliminary results are published. However, if it is not practicable to 
complete the review within the time period, section 751(a)(3)(A) of the 
Act allows the Department to extend these deadlines to a maximum of 365 
days and 180 days, respectively.

Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results

    The Department devoted substantial time to resolving model-matching 
issues earlier in this proceeding and requires additional time to 
analyze the complex issues in this case, such as the further 
manufacturing performed by some of the respondents. Therefore, it is 
not practicable to complete the preliminary results of this review 
within the original time limit, and the Department is extending the 
time limit for completion of the preliminary results by 120 days. The 
preliminary results will now be due no later than November 30, 2011, 
which is 120 days from the current deadline. The final results continue 
to be due 120 days after the publication of the preliminary results.
    This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections 
751(a)(3)(A) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: July 1, 2011.
Gary Taverman,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Antidumping Duty 
Operations.
