EFFECTIVE DATE: April 26, 2006.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Lyn Johnson or Richard Rimlinger, AD/

Extension of Deadline

    At the request of various parties, the Department of Commerce (the 
Department) initiated an administrative review of the antidumping duty 
order on polyethylene retail carrier bags from Thailand for the period 
January 26, 2004, through July 31, 2005. See Initiation of Antidumping 
and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and Request for 
Revocation in Part, 70 FR 56631 (September 28, 2005). Section 
751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), requires 
the Department to issue preliminary results of review within 245 days 
after the last day of the anniversary month of an order for which a 
review is requested and final results within 120 days after the date on 
which the preliminary results were published. If it is not practicable 
to complete the review within these time periods, section 751(a)(3)(A) 
of the Act allows the Department to extend the time limit for the 
preliminary results to a maximum of 365 days after the last day of the 
anniversary month.
    This review involves seven respondents. We received below-cost 
allegations after receipt of questionnaire responses and are currently 
conducting below-cost investigations for several of these respondents. 
Further, we have granted requests for extensions to the deadline for 
responding to our initial and supplemental questionnaires by all seven 
of the respondents. Due to the number of respondents in this review and 
the time we need to analyze and incorporate the information from 
recently filed submissions, we are extending the deadline for issuing 
the preliminary results of this review by 90 days until August 1, 2006.
    This notice is published in accordance with sections 751(a)(3)(A) 
and 777(i) of the Act.

    Dated: April 18, 2006.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary, for Import Administration.
