SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On October 31, 2007, the U.S. Department of Commerce (``the 
Department'') published a notice of initiation of the administrative 
review of the countervailing duty order on certain lined paper products 
from India covering the period of review February 13, 2006, through 
December 31, 2006. See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Administrative Reviews, 72 FR 61621 (October 31, 2007). The 
preliminary results are currently due no later than June 1, 2008.

Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the 
Act''), requires the Department to make a preliminary determination 
within 245 days after the last day of the anniversary month of an order 
or finding 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 by up to 120 
days.
    Due to the complexity of the issues in this administrative review, 
such as the nature of the programs subject to review, the Department 
requires additional time to transmit supplemental questionnaires and 
evaluate responses received. Accordingly, we have determined that it is 
not practicable to complete the preliminary results of this review 
within the 245-day period. Therefore, in accordance with section 
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, we are extending the time period for issuing 
the preliminary results of the review by 120 days. 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 issued and published in accordance with sections 
751(a)(3)(A) and 777(i) of the Act.

    Dated: May 9, 2008.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
