SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On August 1, 2011, the Department of Commerce (``Department'') 
published a notice of initiation of the new shipper review of the 
antidumping duty order on tapered roller bearings and parts thereof, 
finished and unfinished from the People's Republic of China. See 
Tapered Roller Bearings and Parts Thereof, Finished and Unfinished From 
the People's Republic of China: Initiation of Antidumping Duty New 
Shipper Review, 76 FR 45777 (August 1, 2011). The period of the review 
is June 1, 2010, through May 31, 2011. The preliminary results of the 
new shipper review are currently due no later than January 23, 2012.

Extension of Time Limits for Preliminary Results

    Section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 
(``Act''), and 19 CFR 351.214(i)(1) require the Department to issue the 
preliminary results in a new shipper review of an antidumping duty 
order 180 days after the date on which the review is initiated. The 
Department may, however, extend the deadline for completion of the 
preliminary results of a new shipper review to 300 days if it 
determines that the case is extraordinarily complicated. See section 
751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.214(i)(2).
    The Department finds that this new shipper review is 
extraordinarily complicated and, therefore, it requires additional time 
to complete the preliminary results. Specifically, the Department 
requires additional time to examine factors of production data that 
were only fully provided this month and then issue supplemental 
questionnaires for any additional information that may be needed. 
Accordingly, we are extending the time for the completion of the 
preliminary results of this review by 120 days, until May 22, 2012.
    This notice is published in accordance with sections 
751(a)(2)(B)(iv) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: January 5, 2012.
Christian Marsh,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
