SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On October 31, 2007, the U.S. Department of Commerce 
(``Department'') published a notice of initiation of the administrative 
review of the antidumping duty order on certain lined paper products 
from India, covering the period April 17, 2006 to August 31, 2007. See 
Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative, 72 FR 
61621 (October 31, 2007). The preliminary results of this review are 
currently due no later than June 1, 2008.

Extension of Time Limit of Preliminary Results

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the 
Act''), requires that the Department make a preliminary determination 
within 245 days after the last day of the anniversary month of an order 
for which a review is requested. Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act 
further states that if it is not practicable to complete the review 
within the time period specified, the administering authority may 
extend the

245-day period to issue its preliminary results to up to 365 days.
    We determine that completion of the preliminary results of this 
review within the 245-day period is not practicable for the following 
reasons. One respondent has complex affiliation issues which require 
the Department to gather and analyze a significant amount of 
information associated with affiliation and the companies' sales 
practices and manufacturing costs. In addition, domestic interested 
parties have raised other issues which require the collection of 
additional information. Given the number and complexity of issues in 
this case and the Department's resource constraints, and in accordance 
with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, we are fully extending the time 
period for issuing the preliminary results of review. Therefore, the 
preliminary results are now due no later than September 29, 2008. The 
final results continue to be due 120 days after publication of the 
preliminary results.
    This notice is published pursuant to sections 751(a)(3)(A) and 
777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: April 24, 2008.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
