SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Postponement of Preliminary Determinations

    On October 6, 2005, the Department of Commerce (``Department'') 
published the initiation of the antidumping duty investigations of 
certain lined paper products from India, Indonesia and the People's 
Republic of China. See Initiation of Antidumping Duty

[[Page 13091]]

Investigations: Certain Lined Paper Products from India, Indonesia and 
the People's Republic of China, 70 FR 58374 (October 6, 2005). The 
notice of initiation stated that we would make our preliminary 
determinations for these antidumping duty investigations no later than 
140 days after the date of issuance of the initiation. On February 10, 
2006, the Department postponed the preliminary determinations by 30 
days to March 18, 2006. See Notice of Postponement of Preliminary 
Determination of Antidumping Duty Investigation: Certain Lined Paper 
Products from the People's Republic of China, India, and Indonesia, 71 
FR 7015 (February 10, 2006). On February 21, 2006, the Association of 
American School Paper Suppliers, and its individual members 
(``Petitioner''), made timely requests pursuant to 19 CFR 
Sec. 351.205(e) for an additional 20-day postponement of the 
preliminary determinations with respect to the antidumping duty 
investigations covering certain lined paper products (``CLPP'') from 
the People's Republic of China (PRC) and India. Petitioner requested 
postponement of the preliminary determinations because it will provide 
the Department additional time to review submitted questionnaire 
responses which Petitioner claims contain substantial deficiencies.
    Under section 733(c)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 
(``the Act''), if Petitioner makes a timely request for a postponement 
of the preliminary determination, the Department may postpone the 
preliminary determination under subsection (b)(1) until no later than 
the 190\th\ day after the initiation of the investigation.
    Therefore, for reasons identified by Petitioner, we are postponing 
the preliminary determinations with respect to the antidumping duty 
investigations of CLPP from the PRC and India under section 
733(c)(1)(A) of the Act by an additional 20 days to April 7, 2006. 
Pursuant to section 735(a) of the Act, the deadline for the final 
determinations will continue to be 75 days after the date of the 
preliminary determinations, or if extended, up to 135 days after the 
date of publication of the preliminary determinations in the Federal 
Register.
    This notice is issued and published pursuant to sections 733(c)(2) 
of the Act and 19 CFR 351.205(f)(1).

    Dated: March 7, 2006.
David M. Spooner,
Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
