AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.

EFFECTIVE DATE: September 28, 2007.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Andrew McAllister or Brandon 
Farlander, AD/CVD Operations, Office 1, Import Administration, 
International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th

(202) 482-1174 and (202) 482-0182, respectively.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On June 6, 2007, the Department published the preliminary results 
of the 2005-2006 administrative review of the antidumping duty order on 
certain polyester staple fiber (``PSF'') from Korea. See Certain 
Polyester Staple Fiber from Korea: Preliminary Results of Antidumping 
Duty Administrative Review and Preliminary Intent to Rescind, 72 FR 
31279 (June 6, 2007). This review covers two manufacturers/exporters of 
the subject merchandise to the United States, Huvis Corporation 
(``Huvis'') and Dongwoo Industry Company (``Dongwoo''). In the 
preliminary results, we stated that we would issue our final results 
for the antidumping duty administrative review no later than 120 days 
after the date of publication of the preliminary results (i.e., October 
4, 2007).

Extension of Time Limit for 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, section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows 
the Department to extend the time limit for the final results to a 
maximum of 180 days.
    The Department has determined that completion of the final results 
of this review within the original time period is not practicable due 
to the complex legal and factual issues that have arisen since the 
issuance of our preliminary results of review. Specifically, the 
Department requires additional time to review interested parties' 
comments on information provided by U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
with respect to Dongwoo. Thus, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) 
of the Act, the Department is extending the time period for issuing the 
final results of review by an additional 60 days, until December 3, 
2007.
    This notice is published pursuant to sections 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) and 
777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: September 20, 2007.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
