SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Postponement of Preliminary Determination

    On November 20, 2006, the Department of Commerce (Department) 
initiated the antidumping duty investigations of coated free sheet 
paper from the People's Republic of China (PRC), Indonesia and the 
Republic of Korea. See Initiation of Antidumping Duty Investigations: 
Coated Free Sheet Paper from Indonesia, the People's Republic of China, 
and the Republic of Korea, 71 FR 68537 (November 27, 2006). The notice 
of initiation stated that, unless postponed, the Department would make 
its preliminary determinations in these antidumping duty investigations 
no later than 140 days after the date of the initiation.
    On March 1, and 2, 2007, NewPage Corporation (Petitioner) made 
timely requests pursuant to 19 CFR 351.205(e) for a fifty-day 
postponement of the preliminary determinations in these investigations. 
Petitioner requested postponement of the preliminary determinations 
because it needed additional time to evaluate the questionnaire 
responses filed by respondents, develop surrogate values (in the PRC 
investigation) and, if warranted, prepare an allegation of targeted 
dumping.
    For the reasons identified by the Petitioner, and because there are 
no compelling reasons to deny the request, the Department is postponing 
these preliminary determinations under section 733(c)(1)(A) of the 
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``Act''), by fifty days to May 29, 
2007. The deadline for the final determination will continue to be 75 
days after the date of the preliminary determination, unless extended.
    This notice is issued and published pursuant to sections 733(c)(2) 
of the Act and 19 CFR 351.205(f)(1).

    Dated: March 12, 2007.
David M. Spooner,
Assistant Secretaryfor Import Administration.
