Review

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

EFFECTIVE DATE: November 16, 2007.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Elfi Blum or Toni Page, AD/CVD 
Operations, Office 6, Import Administration, International Trade 
Administration, Department of Commerce, Room 7866, 14th Street and

Background

    On August 6, 2007, the Department published the preliminary results 
of the administrative review of the countervailing duty order on 
polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film from India for the period January 
1, 2005 through December 31, 2005. See Polyethylene Terephthalate Film, 
Sheet, and Strip from India: Notice of Preliminary Results and 
Rescission, in Part, of Countervailing Duty Administrative Review, 72 
FR 43607 (August 6, 2007). The current deadline for the final results 
of review is December 4, 2007. This review covers two producers/
exporters of the subject merchandise to the United States, MTZ 
Polyfilms, Ltd. (MTZ) and Garware Polyester Ltd. (Garware), as well as 
the government of India (GOI).

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 additional analysis that must be performed on 
the information collected at the verification conducted after the 
issuance of the preliminary results. 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. As 
the 180th day falls on a Saturday, the final results will now be due no 
later than February 4, 2008.
    This notice is published pursuant to sections 751(a)(3)(A) and 
777(i)(1) of the Act.

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