Certain Polyester Staple Fiber From Korea: Notice of Extension of 
Time Limit for 2003-2004 Administrative Review

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

EFFECTIVE DATE: February 3, 2005.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Andrew McAllister or Yasmin Bordas, 
AD/CVD Operations, Office 1, Import Administration, International Trade 
Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and 
Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20230; telephone (202) 482-
1174 or (202) 482-3813, respectively.

Statutory Time Limits

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the 
Act''), requires the Department of Commerce (``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 a final determination within 120 days after the 
date on which the preliminary results are published. 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.

Background

    On June 30, 2004, the Department published a notice of initiation 
of administrative review of the antidumping duty order on certain 
polyester staple fiber (``PSF'') from Korea, covering the period May 1, 
2003, through April 30, 2004 (69 FR 39409). The preliminary results for 
the antidumping duty administrative review of certain PSF from Korea 
are currently due no later than January 31, 2005.

Extension of Time Limits for Preliminary Results

    Because the Department requires additional time to review and 
analyze the supplemental questionnaire response, it is not practicable 
to complete this review within the originally anticipated time limit 
(i.e., January 31, 2005). Therefore, the Department is extending the 
time limit for completion of the preliminary results to not later than 
May 31, 2005, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.
    We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: January 28, 2005.
Barbara E. Tillman,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
