Background

    On April 25, 2008, the Department of Commerce (``the Department'') 
published in the Federal Register a notice of initiation of 
administrative review of the antidumping duty order on certain tissue 
products from the People's Republic of China (``PRC''), covering the 
period March 1, 2007, through February 29, 2008. See Initiation of 
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and Request 
for Revocation in Part, 73 FR 22337 (April 25, 2008). The preliminary 
results for this administrative review are currently due no later than 
December 1, 2008.

Extension of Time Limits for Preliminary Results

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the 
Act''), requires the Department to issue the preliminary results of an 
administrative review within 245 days after the last day of the 
anniversary month of the date of publication of an order for which a 
review is requested. If it is not practicable to complete the review 
within this time period, section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows the 
Department to extend this deadline to a maximum of 365 days.
    In this review, the respondents, Max Fortune Industrial Limited and 
Max Fortune (FETDE) Paper Products Co., Ltd. (collectively referred to 
as ``Max Fortune''), requested that the Department revoke the 
antidumping duty order on certain tissue paper products from the PRC 
with respect to them pursuant to 19 CFR 351.222(b). The Department 
requires additional time to review and analyze the revocation request 
and the factors of production information submitted by Max Fortune in 
this administrative review and, if necessary, issue an additional 
supplemental questionnaire. The Department also requires additional 
time to conduct verification of Max Fortune's questionnaire responses. 
Thus, it is not practicable to complete this review within the original 
time limit. Therefore, the Department is fully extending the time limit 
for completion of the preliminary results by 120 days to 365 days, in 
accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act. The preliminary 
results are now due no later than March 31, 2009. The final results 
continue to

be due 120 days after publication of the preliminary results.
    We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with 
section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2).

    Dated: November 14, 2008.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
