Certain Tissue Paper Products from the People's Republic of 
China: Notice of Extension of Time Limit for Final Results of Second 
Antidumping Duty Administrative Review

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

EFFECTIVE DATE: July 14, 2008.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Irene Gorelik, AD/CVD Operations, 
Office 9, Import Administration, International Trade Administration, 
U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue, NW, 
Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482-6905.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On April 4, 2008, the Department of Commerce (``the Department'') 
published in the Federal Register the preliminary results of this 
antidumping duty administrative review. See Certain Tissue Paper 
Products from the People's Republic of China: Preliminary Results and 
Partial Rescission of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 73 FR 
18497 (April 04, 2008).

Extension of Time Limits for Final Results

    Pursuant to 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, the Department shall issue the final results of review 
within 120 days after the date on which the notice of the preliminary 
results was published in the Federal Register. The final results are 
currently due on August 2, 2008. However, if the Department determines 
that it is not practicable to complete the review within this time 
period, section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and section 351.213(h)(2) of 
the Department's regulations allow the Department to extend this time 
period to 180 days.
    In the instant review, the Department finds that the current 
deadline for the final results is impracticable. Specifically, the 
Department placed documentation from Customs and Border Protection 
(``Customs'') regarding entries in this case on the record on June 30, 
2008, and allowed interested parties to comment on these Customs entry 
packages. The Department requires additional time to review and analyze 
interested party comments, case briefs and rebuttal briefs because the 
office tasked with administering this antidumping duty order is 
currently facing immediate statutory deadlines in several other 
administrative cases. As a result, the Department has determined to 
fully extend the current time limit for the completion of the final 
results of this administrative review until no later than October 1, 
2008, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.
    This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections 
751(a)(3)(A) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: July 08, 2008.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
