SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On August 26, 2008, in response to a timely request from Jindal 
Poly Films, Limited of India (Jindal), the Department of Commerce (the 
Department) initiated an administrative review of the countervailing 
duty order on polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film, sheet, and strip 
from India. See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Reviews, 73 FR 50308 (August 26, 2008). This 
administrative review covers the period January 1, 2007, through 
December 31, 2007. The preliminary results of this administrative 
review are currently due no later than April 2, 2009.

Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results

    Pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 
amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(1), the Department shall issue 
preliminary results in an administrative review of a countervailing 
duty order within 245 days after the last day of the anniversary month 
of the order for which the administrative review was requested. 
However, if the Department determines that it is not practicable to 
complete the review within the aforementioned specified time limits, 
section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2) allow the 
Department to extend the 245-day period to 365 days.
    Pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 
351.213(h)(2), we determine that it is not practicable to complete the 
results of this review within the original time limit. The Department 
needs additional time to analyze the supplemental questionnaire 
responses, which were recently submitted, and to determine whether any 
additional information is required. In accordance with section 
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, the Department has decided to extend the time 
limit for the preliminary results from 245 days to 365 days; the 
preliminary results will now be due no later than July 31, 2009. Unless 
extended, the final results continue to be due 120 days after the 
publication of the preliminary results, pursuant to section 
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(1) of the Department's 
regulations.
    This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections 
751(a)(3)(A) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: March 27, 2009.
John M. Andersen,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Operations.
