Notice of Extension of Time Limit for the Antidumping 
Administrative Review of Polyvinyl Alcohol From the People's Republic 
of China

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

EFFECTIVE DATE: February 27, 2006.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Lilit Astvatsatrian, AD/CVD 
Operations, Office 8, Import Administration, International Trade 
Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and 
Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482-

Background

    On November 7, 2005, the Department of Commerce (``the 
Department'') published the preliminary results of the administrative 
review of the antidumping duty order on polyvinyl alcohol (``PVA'') 
from the People's Republic of China (``PRC''), covering the period 
August 11, 2003, through September 30, 2004. See Polyvinyl Alcohol from 
the People's Republic of China: Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty 
Administrative Review, 70 FR 67434 (November 7, 2005) (``Preliminary 
Results''). In the Preliminary Results we stated that we would make our 
final determination for the antidumping duty review no later than 120 
days after the date of publication of the preliminary results (i.e., 
March 7, 2006).

Extension of Time Limit of Preliminary Results

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the 
Act''), requires the Department to issue the final results in an 
administrative review within 120 days of publication date of the 
preliminary results. However, if it is not practicable to complete the 
review within this time period, the Department may extend the time 
limit for the final results to 180 days. Completion of the final 
results within the 120-day period is not practicable because this 
review involves certain complex issues, including the revision of an 
allocation methodology of co-products, application of by-products and 
self-produced inputs, and valuation of certain factors.
    Therefore, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, the 
Department is extending the time period for issuing the final results 
of review by 30 days until April 6, 2006.

    Dated: February 21, 2006.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
