SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On June 6, 2005, the Department of Commerce (``the Department'') 
published the preliminary results of the administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order on certain polyester staple fiber from the 
Republic of Korea covering the period May 1, 2003, through April 30, 
2004 (70 FR 32756). The final results for the antidumping duty 
administrative review of certain polyester staple fiber from the 
Republic of Korea are currently due no later than October 4, 2005.

Extension of Time Limits for Final Results

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended by the 
Uruguay Round Agreements Act (``the Act''), requires the Department to 
issue the preliminary results of an administrative review within 245 
days after the last day of the anniversary month of an antidumping duty 
order for which a review is requested and issue the final results 
within 120 days after the date on which the preliminary results are 
published. However, 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.
    Because the Department requires additional time to review and 
analyze the comments submitted by interested parties regarding complex 
physical characteristic codes of control numbers, it is not practicable 
to complete this review within the originally anticipated time limit 
(i.e., by October 4, 2005). Accordingly, the Department is extending 
the time limit for completion

of the final results to no later than December 5, 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: September 29, 2005.
Barbara E. Tillman,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
