Shipper Review

Department of Commerce.

DATES: Effective Date: December 22, 2010.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Elfi Blum and Toni Page, Import 
Administration, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of

Background

    On March 2, 2010, the Department of Commerce (the Department) 
initiated a 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. 
On August 18, 2010, the Department extended the deadline for the 
preliminary results for this new shipper review until October 22, 2010. 
See Polyethylene Terephthalate Film, Sheet and Strip from India: 
Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty New 
Shipper Review, 75 FR 52717 (August 27, 2010) (First Extension). On 
October 18, 2010, the Department decided to further extend the deadline 
for the preliminary results to December 16, 2010. See Polyethylene 
Terephthalate Film, Sheet and Strip From India: Extension of Time Limit 
for Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty New Shipper Review, 75 FR 
65450 (October 25, 2010) (Second Extension).

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 19 CFR 351.214(i)(1) require the Department to issue the 
preliminary results of 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 
19 CFR 351.214(i)(2) allow the Department to extend the 180-day period 
to 300 days, and to extend the 90-day period to 150 days. In the First 
Extension and the Second Extension, the Department determined that this 
new shipper review is extraordinarily complicated because of issues 
pertaining to the bona fides of the new shipper and SRF Limited's 
reported sales data. See First Extension, 75 FR at 52717; Second 
Extension, 75 FR at 65450. The Department finds that it needs 
additional time to analyze methodological issues related to SRF 
Limited's reported sales data, and is fully extending the deadline for 
completion of the preliminary results of this new shipper review, 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 the 
preliminary results is now December 27, 2010.
    This notice is issued and published pursuant to sections 
751(a)(2)(B)(iv) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: December 16, 2010.
Christian Marsh,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
