SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

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). On February 27, 2006, the Department published 
in the Federal Register a notice extending the time limit for the final 
results of the administrative review from March 7, 2006, to April 6, 
2006. See Notice of Extension of Time Limit for the Antidumping Duty 
Administrative Review of Polyvinyl Alcohol from the People's Republic 
of China, 71 FR 9781 (February 27, 2006).

Extension of Time Limit of Final 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 the 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 examination of the 
co-product allocation methodology, application of by-products, and the 
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 these final results 
of review by an additional 15 days until April 21, 2006.

    Dated: March 22, 2006.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
