SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On May 11, 2006, the Department of Commerce (the Department) 
published the preliminary results of the 2004-2005 administrative 
review of the antidumping duty order covering Asahi Glass 
Fluoropolymers, Ltd. See Granular Polytetrafluoroethylene Resin From 
Japan: Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administration Review, 
71 FR 27459 (May 11, 2006). The final results are currently due 
September 8, 2006.

Extension of Time Limit for Final Results

    The Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), provides at section 
751(a)(3)(A) that the Department will issue the final results of an 
administrative review of an antidumping duty order within 120 days 
after the date on which the

preliminary results were published. The Act provides further that, if 
the Department determines that it is not practicable to complete the 
review within this time period, the Department may extend the 120-day 
period to 180 days.
    Due to the complexity of the level of trade issue in this review, 
the Department needs additional time to conduct its analysis. 
Therefore, we are extending the deadline for issuing the final results 
of this review by an additional 45 days until October 23, 2006, 
pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2).

    Dated: August 29, 2006.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
