SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Statutory Time Limits

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the 
Act''), requires the Department of Commerce (``Department'') to issue 
the preliminary results of an administrative review within 245 days 
after the last day of the anniversary month of an order for which a 
review is requested and a final determination within 120 days after the 
date on which the preliminary results are published. If it is not 
practicable to complete the review within the time period, section 
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows the Department to extend these deadlines 
to a maximum of 365 days and 180 days, respectively.

Background

    On July 3, 2006, the Department published a notice of initiation of 
administrative reviews of the antidumping duty orders on certain 
polyester staple fiber (``PSF'') from Taiwan and the Republic of Korea 
(``Korea''), covering the period May 1, 2005, through April 30, 2006. 
See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative 
Reviews, 71 FR 37892 (July 3, 2006). The preliminary results for these 
reviews are currently due no later than January 31, 2007.

Extension of Time Limits for Preliminary Results

    The Department requires additional time to review and analyze 
respondents' sales and cost information and to issue supplemental 
questionnaires. Thus, it is not practicable to complete these reviews 
within the previously established time limit (i.e., by January 31, 
2007). Therefore, the Department is extending the time limit for 
completion of these preliminary results by 120 days to not later than 
May 31, 2007, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.
    We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(3)(A) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: January 9, 2007.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
