FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Elfi Blum, Import Administration,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On March 9, 2010, the Department of Commerce (the Department) 
published the initiation of the new shipper review of the antidumping 
duty order on polyethylene terephthalate film, sheet and strip from 
India for the period July 1, 2009 through December 31, 2009. See 
Polyethylene Terephthalate Film, Sheet and Strip from India: Initiation 
of Antidumping Duty and Countervailing Duty New Shipper Reviews, 75 FR 
10758 (March 9, 2010). This new shipper review covers one producer and 
exporter of the subject merchandise to the United States: SRF Limited. 
The preliminary results of this review are currently due no later than 
August 29, 2010. See Notice of Clarification: Application of ``Next 
Business Day'' Rule for Administrative Determination Deadlines Pursuant 
to the Tariff Act of 1930, As Amended, 70 FR 24533 (May 10, 2005).

Extension of Time Limit for the Preliminary Results

    Section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 
Act), and section 351.214(i)(1) of the Department's regulations require 
the Department to issue the preliminary results of a review within 180 
days after the date on which the new shipper review was initiated, and 
final results of the review within 90 days after the date on which the 
preliminary results were issued. However, if the Department concludes 
that a new shipper review is extraordinarily complicated, section 
751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act and section 351.214(i)(2) of the 
Department's regulations allow the Department to extend the 180-day 
period to 300 days, and to extend the 90-day period to 150 days. The 
Department determines that this new shipper review involves 
extraordinarily complicated methodological issues, including the 
examination of importer and customer information. Additional time is 
also required to ensure that the Department can include SRF's 
supplemental questionnaire response in its examination of the bona 
fides of SRF's sale.
    Therefore, the Department is extending the deadline for completion 
of the preliminary results of this new shipper review by a total of 54 
days, in accordance with section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act and 19 CFR 
351.214(i)(2). Accordingly, the deadline for the completion of these 
preliminary results is now no later than October 22, 2010.
    This notice is issued and published pursuant to sections 
751(a)(2)(B)(iv) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: August 18, 2010.
Edward C. Yang,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Operations.
