SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On September 29, 2005, the Department of Commerce (``the 
Department'') initiated the countervailing duty investigations of lined 
paper products from India and Indonesia. See Notice of Initiation of 
Countervailing Duty Investigation: Certain Lined Paper Products from 
India and Indonesia, 70 FR 58690 (October 7, 2005). Currently, the 
preliminary determinations are due no later than December 5, 2005.

Extension of Due Date for Preliminary Determination

    On October 20, 2005, the Association of American School Paper 
Suppliers (``Petitioner'') submitted a letter requesting that the 
Department postpone the preliminary determinations of the 
countervailing duty investigations of certain lined paper products from 
India and Indonesia by 65 days. Under section 703(c)(1)(A) of the Act, 
the Department may extend the period for reaching a preliminary 
determination in a countervailing duty investigation until not later 
than the 130\th\ day after the date on which the administering 
authority initiates an investigation if the petitioner makes a timely 
request for an extension of the period within which the determination 
must be made under subsection (b) (section 703(b) of the Act). 
Accordingly, we are extending the due date for the preliminary 
determinations by 65 days to no later than February 6, 2006.
    This notice is issued and published pursuant to section 703(c)(2) 
of the Act.
