Certain Polyester Staple Fiber From the Republic of Korea: Notice 
of Extension of Time Limit for the Final Results of the 2006-2007 
Administrative Review

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

DATES: Effective Date: September 15, 2008.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Andrew McAllister or Brandon 
Farlander, AD/CVD Operations, Office 1, Import Administration, 
International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th 
Street and Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20230, telephone

Statutory Time Limits

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the 
Act''), requires the Department of Commerce (``Department'') to issue 
the preliminary results of an administrative review within 245 days 
after the last day of the anniversary month of an order for which a 
review is requested and the 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 the time period, section 
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows the Department to extend these deadlines 
to a maximum of 365 days and 180 days, respectively.

Background

    On May 30, 2008, the Department published the preliminary results 
of the 2006-2007 administrative review of the antidumping duty order on 
certain polyester staple fiber from the Republic of Korea. See Certain 
Polyester Staple Fiber from Korea: Preliminary Results of the 2006/2007 
Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 73 FR 31058 (May 30, 2008). In 
our preliminary results, we stated that we would issue our final 
results for the antidumping duty administrative review no later than 
120 days after the date of publication of the preliminary results 
(i.e., September 27, 2008).

Extension of Time Limits for Final Results

    The Department has determined that completion of the final results 
of this review within the original time period is not practicable due 
to the complex legal and factual issues that have arisen since the 
issuance of our preliminary results of review. Specifically, the 
Department requires additional time to review interested parties' 
comments on information regarding respondent's, Huvis Corporation's, 
affiliated parties. Thus, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of 
the Act, the Department is extending the time period for issuing the 
final results of review by an additional 60 days, until November 26, 
2008.
    We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(3)(A) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: September 8, 2008.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
