SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Postponement of Final Determination

    The Department of Commerce (``the Department'') is postponing the 
final determination in the antidumping and countervailing duty 
investigations of certain lined paper products (``CLPP'') from 
Indonesia. On October 6, 2005, the Department initiated the antidumping 
duty investigation of CLPP from Indonesia. See Initiation of 
Antidumping Duty Investigation: Certain Lined Paper Products from 
India, Indonesia, and the People's Republic of China, 70 FR 58374 
(October 6, 2005). On October 7, 2005, the Department initiated the 
countervailing duty investigation of CLPP from Indonesia. See 
Initiation of Countervailing Duty Investigation: Certain Lined Paper 
Products from India (C-533-844) and Indonesia (C- 560-819), 70 FR 58690 
(October 7, 2005).
    On February 13, 2006, the Department published its affirmative 
countervailing duty determination. See Notice of Preliminary 
Affirmative Countervailing Duty Determination: Certain Lined Paper 
Products from Indonesia, 71 FR 7524 (February 13, 2006). On February 
17, 2006, Petitioner submitted a letter requesting alignment of the 
final countervailing duty determination with the final determination in 
the companion antidumping investigation. On March 7, 2006, the 
Department published notification of alignment for the final 
determinations in the antidumping and countervailing duty 
investigations of CLPP from Indonesia. See Certain Lined Paper Products 
From India and Indonesia: Alignment of First Countervailing Duty 
Determination With Antidumping Duty Determination, 71 FR 11379 (March 
7, 2006). On March 27, 2006, the Department published its affirmative 
preliminary antidumping duty determination. See Notice of Preliminary 
Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value: Certain Lined Paper 
Products from Indonesia, 71 FR 15162 (March 27, 2006). This notice 
states that the Department will issue its final determination no later 
than 75 days after the date of the preliminary determination.
    Section 735(a)(2)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, (the 
Act) and 19 CFR 351.210(b)(2)(ii) provide that a final determination in 
an antidumping duty investigation may be postponed until no later than 
135 days after the date of the

publication of the preliminary determination if, in the event of an 
affirmative preliminary determination, a request for such postponement 
is made by exporters who account for a significant proportion of 
exports of the subject merchandise. Additionally, the Department's 
regulations, at 19 CFR 351.210(e)(2)(ii), require that requests by a 
respondent for postponement of a final determination be accompanied by 
a request for an extension of the provisional measures from a four-
month period to not more than six months.
    On April 24, 2006, in accordance with section 735(a)(2)(A) of the 
Act and 19 CFR 351.210(b)(2)(ii), PT. Pabrik Kertas Tjiwi Kimia Tbk., 
which is the only mandatory respondent in the antidumping investigation 
and which accounts for a significant portion of exports of CLPP from 
Indonesia (see the Memorandum from Natalie Kempkey to Susan Kuhbach 
entitled ``Antidumping Investigation of Certain Lined Paper Products 
from Indonesia: Selection of Respondents''), requested that the 
Department: (1) Postpone the final determination; and (2) extend the 
provisional measures period from four months to a period not longer 
than six months. Accordingly, pursuant to section 735(a)(2)(A) of the 
Act and 19 CFR 351.210(b)(2)(ii), because: (1) The preliminary 
determination is affirmative; (2) the requesting exporter accounts for 
a significant proportion of exports of the subject merchandise in this 
investigation; and (3) no compelling reasons for denial exist, we are 
postponing the final determination until no later than 135 days after 
the publication of the preliminary determination in the Federal 
Register (i.e., until no later than August 9, 2006). Suspension of 
liquidation will be extended accordingly.
    In addition, because the countervailing duty investigation of CLPP 
from Indonesia has been aligned with the concurrent antidumping duty 
investigation under section 705(a)(1) of the Act, the time limit for 
completion of the final determination in the countervailing duty 
investigation will be the same date, August 9, 2006, as the final 
determination of the concurrent antidumping duty investigation. See 
Postponement of Final Determination of Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Investigations of Hot-Rolled Flat-Rolled Carbon-Quality Steel From 
Brazil, 64 FR 24321 (May 6, 1999).
    This notice of postponement is published pursuant to section 735(a) 
of the Act and 19 CFR 351.210(g).

    Dated: May 3, 2006.
David M. Spooner,
Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
