Certain Polyester Staple Fiber From the People's Republic of 
China: Extension of Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty 
Administrative Review

AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (``Department'') is extending the 
time limit for the preliminary results of the administrative review of 
certain polyester staple fiber from the People's Republic of China 
(``PRC''). This review covers the period June 1, 2009, through May 31, 
2010.

DATES: Effective Date: February 10, 2011.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jerry Huang or Steven Hampton, AD/CVD 
Operations, Office 9, Import Administration, International Trade 
Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and 
Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482-
4047 or (202) 482-0116, respectively.

Background

    On July 28, 2010, the Department published in the Federal Register 
a notice of initiation of the administrative review of the antidumping 
duty order on certain polyester staple fiber from the PRC. See 
Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative 
Reviews and Requests for Revocations in Part, 75 FR 44224 (July 28, 
2010). The preliminary results of this review are currently due no 
later than March 2, 2011.

Statutory Time Limits

    In antidumping duty administrative reviews, section 751(a)(3)(A) of 
the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the Act''), requires the 
Department to make a preliminary determination within 245 days after 
the last day of the anniversary month of an order for which a review is 
requested and a final determination within 120 days after the date on 
which the preliminary results are published. However, if it is not 
practicable to complete the review within these time periods, section 
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows the Department to extend the time limit 
for the preliminary determination to a maximum of 365 days after the 
last day of the anniversary month.

Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results of Review

    We determine that it is not practicable to complete the preliminary 
results of this administrative review within the original time limit 
because the Department requires additional time to analyze 
questionnaire responses, issue supplemental questionnaires, and conduct 
verification.
    Therefore, the Department is extending the time limit for 
completion of the preliminary results of this administrative review by 
90 days. The preliminary results will now be due no later than May 31, 
2011. 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) of the Act.

    Dated: February 4, 2011.
Christian Marsh,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
