SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Supplementary Information

    On June 24, 2009, the Department published a notice of initiation 
of an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on certain 
polyester staple fiber (``PSF'') from the Republic of Korea 
(``Korea''), covering the period May 1, 2008, through April 30, 2009. 
See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative 
Reviews and Requests for Revocation in Part, 74 FR 30052 (June 24, 
2009). The preliminary results for this review are currently due no 
later than January 31, 2010.

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 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 the deadline 
for the preliminary results to a maximum of 365 days.
    The Department requires additional time to review and analyze the 
respondent's sales and cost information and to issue supplemental 
questionnaires. Thus, we have determined that it is not practicable to 
complete this review within the previously established time limit 
(i.e., by January 31, 2010). Therefore, the Department is extending the 
time limit for completion of these preliminary results by 120 days to 
no later than May 31, 2010, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of 
the Act. The final results continue to be due 120 days after the 
publication of the preliminary results.
    We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(3)(A) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: December 10, 2009.
John M. Andersen,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Operations.
