SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On October 28, 2010, the Department of Commerce (the Department) 
initiated an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on 
freshwater crawfish tail meat from the People's Republic of China (PRC) 
for the period September 1, 2009, through August 31, 2010. See 
Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative 
Reviews, 75 FR 66349 (October 28, 2010). On October 7, 2011, we 
published in the Federal Register the preliminary results of this 
review. See Freshwater Crawfish Tail Meat From the People's Republic of 
China: Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review 
and Intent to Rescind Review in Part, 76 FR 62349 (October 7, 2011) 
(Preliminary Results).\1\ The final results of this review are 
currently due no later than February 4, 2012.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ In publishing the Preliminary Results, the Federal Register 
distorted the title of the notice; a correction of the title 
published in 76 FR 65497 (October 21, 2011).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Extension of Time Limit of the Final Results

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (Act) 
requires the Department to issue the final results of a review within 
120 days after the date on which the preliminary results are published. 
However, if it is not practicable to complete the review within that 
time period, section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows the Department to 
extend the time limit for the final results to a maximum of 180 days. 
See also 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2).
    We determine that it is not practicable to complete the final 
results of this review within the original time limit because the 
Department needs additional time to evaluate the arguments and 
submissions made by interested parties following the Preliminary 
Results. Therefore, we are fully extending the time limit for the final 
results by 60 days, to April 4, 2012, in accordance with section 
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2).
    This notice is published pursuant to sections 751(a)(1) and 
777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: January 17, 2012.
Christian Marsh,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
