SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On August 7, 2009, the Department of Commerce (the Department) 
published the preliminary results of the administrative review of the 
countervailing duty order on polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film, 
sheet, and strip from India. See Polyethylene Terephthalate Film, 
Sheet, and Strip from India: Preliminary Results of Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Review, 74 FR 39631 (August 7, 2009). This 
administrative review covers the period January 1, 2007 through 
December 31, 2007. The current deadline for the final results of review 
is December 5, 2009. This review covers one producer/exporter of the 
subject merchandise to the United States, Jindal Poly Films Ltd. 
(Jindal), as well as the Government of India (GOI).

Extension of Time Limit for Final 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 
final results in an administrative review of a countervailing duty 
order within 120 days after the date on which notice of the preliminary 
results was published in the Federal Register. 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 
120-day period to 180 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 final results from 120 days to 180 days; the final 
results will now be due no later than February 3, 2010.
    This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections 
751(a)(3)(A) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: December 1, 2009.
John M. Andersen,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Operations.
