SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On August 29, 2005, in response to timely requests from Dupont 
Teijin Films, Mitsubishi Polyester Film of America, and Toray Plastics 
(America), Inc., (collectively, Petitioners), Jindal Poly Films Limited 
(Jindal), and Garware Polyester Limited (Garware), the Department of 
Commerce (the Department) initiated an administrative review of the 
countervailing duty order on polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film from 
India with respect to Jindal, Garware, and Polyplex Corporation 
Limited. See Notice of Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Administrative Reviews and Requests for Revocation in Part, 70 FR 
51009 (August 29, 2005). The period of review is January 1, 2004 
through December 31, 2004.

Extension of Time Limits for Preliminary Results

    Section 351.213(h)(1) of the Department's regulations requires the 
Department to issue the preliminary results of a review within 245 days 
after the last day of the anniversary month of the order or suspension 
agreement for which the administrative review was requested, and final 
results of the review within 120 days after the date on which notice of 
the preliminary results are published in the Federal Register. However, 
if the Department determines that it is not practicable to complete the 
review within the aforementioned specified time limits, section 
351.213(h)(2) of the Department's regulations allows the Department to 
extend the 245-day period to 365 days and to extend the 120-day period 
to 180 days. We determine that it is not practicable to complete the 
preliminary results of this review within the original time limit 
because, due to the large number of programs under review, the 
Department needs additional time to analyze the questionnaire responses 
and issue appropriate supplemental questionnaires. Therefore, the 
Department is extending the deadline for completion of the preliminary 
results of the administrative review of the countervailing duty order 
on PET film from India until no later than July 31, 2006.
    This notice is published pursuant to sections 751(a)(1) and 
777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended.

    Dated: February 14, 2006.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretaryfor Import Administration.
