SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On April 17, 2008, the U.S. Department of Commerce (the Department) 
published the preliminary results of the administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order on polyester staple fiber from Taiwan. See 
Certain Polyester Staple Fiber from Taiwan: Preliminary Results of 
Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 73 FR 20907 (April 17, 2008). 
The final results of this review are currently due no later than August 
15, 2008.

Extension of Time Limit of Final Results

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 
Act), requires the Department to issue final results within 120 days 
after the date on which the preliminary results are published. If it is 
not practicable to complete the review within that time period, section 
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows the Department to extend the time limit 
for the final results to a maximum of 180 days. See also 19 CFR 
351.213(h)(2).
    We determine that it is not practicable to complete the final 
results of this review within the original time limit. We will conduct 
a verification of the respondent's home-market and U.S. sales responses 
in June and we will need additional time to give interested parties 
sufficient time to comment on any verification findings and to analyze 
and respond to any comments. Accordingly, we are extending the due date 
for the final results by 60 days, in accordance with section 
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act. The final results are now due no later than 
October 14, 2008.
    This extension is issued and published in accordance with sections 
751(a)(3)(A) and 777(i) of the Act.

    Dated: May 27, 2008.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
