SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On August 22, 2003, the Department of Commerce (the Department) 
published in the Federal Register a notice of initiation of an 
administrative review of the antidumping duty order on certain 
polyethylene terephthalate film, sheet and strip from India, covering 
the period December 21, 2001 through June 30, 2003. See Initiation of 
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and Request 
for Revocation in Part, 68 FR 50750.
    On August 12, 2004, the Department published in the Federal 
Register the preliminary results of review. See Certain Polyethylene 
Terephthalate Film, Sheet and Strip From India: Preliminary Results and 
Rescission in Part of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 69 FR 
49872 (August 12, 2004). The final results of review are currently due 
no later than December 10, 2004.

Statutory Time Limits

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 
Act), requires the Department to make a preliminary determination in an 
administrative review within 245 days after the last day of the 
anniversary month of an order for which a review is requested and a 
final determination within 120 days after the date on which the 
preliminary determination is published. However, if it is not 
practicable to complete the review within these time periods, section 
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows the Department to extend these deadlines 
to a maximum of 365 days and 180 days (or 300 days if the Department 
does not extend the time limit for the preliminary determination), 
respectively.

Extension of Time Limit for Final Results of Review

    We have determined that it is not practicable to complete the final 
results of this review within the original time limit because needs 
additional time to consider a complex issue relating to the U.S. price 
adjustment for countervailing duties imposed to offset export 
subsidies. Therefore, the Department is extending the time limit for 
completion of the final results by 60 days. We intend to issue the 
final results of review no later than February 8, 2005.
    This extension is in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the 
Act.

    Dated: December 7, 2004.
Barbara E. Tillman,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
