Postponement of Preliminary Determination

    On July 18, 2007, the Department of Commerce (``Department'') 
initiated the antidumping duty investigation of laminated woven sacks 
from the People's Republic of China. See Laminated Woven Sacks from the 
People's Republic of China: Initiation of Antidumping Duty 
Investigation, 71 FR 40833 (July 25, 2007). The notice of initiation 
stated that the Department would make its preliminary determination for 
this antidumping duty investigation no later than 140 days after the 
date of issuance of the initiation.
    On November 9, 2007, the Laminated Woven Sacks Committee and its 
individual members, Bancroft Bags, Inc., Coating Excellence 
International, LLC, Hood Packaging Corporation, Mid-America Packaging, 
LLC, and Polytex Fibers Corporation (collectively, ``Petitioners'') 
made a timely request pursuant to 19 CFR 351.205(e) for a fifty-day 
postponement of the preliminary determination, until January 24, 2008. 
Petitioners requested postponement of the preliminary determination to 
allow the Department additional time in which to review the complex 
questionnaire responses and issue requests for clarification and 
additional information.
    For the reasons identified by the Petitioners, and because there 
are no compelling reasons to deny the request, the Department is 
postponing the preliminary determination under section 733(c)(1)(A) of 
the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the Act''), by fifty days to 
January 24, 2008. 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: November 14, 2007.
David Spooner,
Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
