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).

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. 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). On 
March 29, 2006, the Department published in the Federal Register a 
notice extending the time limit for the final results of the 
administrative review from April 6, 2006, to April 21, 2006. See Notice 
of Extension of Time Limit for the Final Results of the Antidumping 
Administrative Review of Polyvinyl Alcohol from the People's Republic 
of China, 71 FR 15697 (March 29, 2006). The final results of review are 
currently due no later than April 21, 2006. However, completion of the 
final results by April 21, 2006, is not practicable because this review 
involves certain complex issues, including examination of the co-
product allocation methodology, application of by-product credits, and 
the valuation of natural gas and certain other factors.
    Therefore, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, the 
Department is now fully extending the time period for issuing these 
final results of review until May 6, 2006. However, because May 6, 
2006, falls on a Saturday, the final results will be due on May 8, 
2006, the next business day.

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