SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On August 24, 2007, in response to timely requests from Jindal Poly 
Films Limited, Ltd. (Jindal) and MTZ Polyfilms, Ltd. (MTZ) of India, 
the Department of Commerce (the Department) initiated an administrative 
review of the antidumping duty order on polyethylene terephthalate film 
sheet and strip (PET film) from India for the period July 1, 2006 
through June 30, 2007. See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Administrative Reviews and Request for Revocation in Part, 72 FR 
48613 (August 24, 2007). This administrative review covers one producer 
(Jindal) of the subject merchandise. On October 30, 2007, we rescinded 
the review of MTZ as a result of the withdrawal of its request for 
review. The preliminary results are currently due no later than April 
1, 2008.

Extension of Time Limits for Preliminary Results

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 
Act), and section 351.213(h)(1) of the Department's regulations require 
the Department to issue the preliminary results of a review within 245 
days after the last day of the anniversary month of the order for which 
the administrative review was requested, and final results of the 
review within 120 days after the date on which the notice of the 
preliminary results is published in the Federal Register. However, if 
the Department determines that it is not practicable to complete the 
review within the aforementioned specified time limits, section 
751(a)(3)(A) of the

[[Page 9769]]

Act and section 351.213(h)(2) of the Department's regulations allow the 
Department to extend the 245-day period to 365 days. We determine that 
it is not practicable to complete the preliminary results of this 
review within the original time limit because of the need to issue a 
supplemental questionnaire and analyze the response. Therefore, we are 
fully extending the deadline for completion of the preliminary results 
of this administrative review until no later than July 30, 2008. The 
deadline for the final results of the review continues to be 120 days 
after the publication of the preliminary results.
    This notice is issued and published pursuant to sections 751(a)(1) 
and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: February 13, 2008.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
