Polyethylene Terephthalate Film Sheet and Strip from the Republic 
of Korea: Extension of Time Limit for Final Results of Changed 
Circumstances Review

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

EFFECTIVE DATE: February 6, 2008.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Michael Heaney or Robert James, AD/CVD 
Operations, Office 7, Import Administration, International Trade 
Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and 
Constitution Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482-4475 
or (202) 482-0649, respectively.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On October 2, 2007, the Department of 
Commerce (the Department) published the preliminary results of the 
changed circumstances review in the antidumping duty order of 
polyethylene terephthalate film sheet and strip from the Republic of 
Korea. See Polyethylene Terephthalate Film Sheet and Strip from the 
Republic of Korea: Preliminary Results of Changed Circumstances Review 
and Intent to Reinstate Kolon Industries, Inc. in the Antidumping Duty 
Order, (Preliminary Results) 72 FR 56048 (October 2, 2007). The current 
deadline for the final results of this review is January 30, 2008.

Extension of Time Limits for Final Results

    In our Preliminary Results, we indicated we would issue the final 
results of this changed circumstances review within 120 days after the 
date on which the preliminary results were published. However, it is 
not practicable to complete the review within this time period. 
Accordingly, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.302(b), we are extending the time 
limit by 60 days.
    The Department finds that it is not practicable to complete this 
review within the original time frame. In order to evaluate fairly the 
issues raised by Petitioners (DuPont Teijin Films, Mitsubishi Polyester 
Film, Inc., SKC Inc., and Toray Plastics (America) Inc.) and Kolon 
Industries, Inc., in their respective case and rebuttal briefs, we are 
extending the time frame for completion of this review. These issues 
include the appropriate model matching procedures to employ in this 
changed circumstances review, and whether the Department should employ 
investigation or administrative review methodologies in calculating 
dumping margins. Consequently, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.302(b), 
the Department is extending the time period for issuing the final 
results of review by 60 days. Therefore, the final results will be due 
no later than March 30, 2008. As March 30, 2008 falls on a Sunday, our 
final results will be issued no later than Monday March 31, 2008. This 
notice is published in accordance with section 771(i) of the Tariff 
Act, as amended.

    Dated: January 30, 2008.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
