Polyester Staple Fiber from Korea; Notice of Extension of Time 
Limit for Administrative Review

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

ACTION: Notice of extension of time limit.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (``the Department'') is extending 
the time limit for the preliminary results of the first administrative 
review of the antidumping duty order on polyester staple fiber from 
Korea. The period of review is November 8, 1999 through April 30, 2001. 
This extension is made pursuant to Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff 
Act of 1930, as amended by the Uruguay Round Agreements Act (``the 
Act'').

EFFECTIVE DATE: September 4, 2001.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Craig Matney, Office 1, Import 
Administration, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of 
Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue, NW, Washington DC 20230; 
telephone (202) 482-1778.

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION: The Department is considering how best to 
address the review requests in this proceeding given our limited 
resources. Therefore, the Department finds it is not practicable to 
complete the preliminary determination by January 31, 2002 (see 
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act). Accordingly, the Department is extending the 
time limit for completion of the preliminary results to no later than 
May 31, 2002. See 19 CFR 351.302(b).
    In accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, we 
are issuing and publishing this notice.

    Dated: August 28, 2001.
Richard W. Moreland,
Acting Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
