Background

    On December 28, 2010, the Department of Commerce (the Department) 
published the initiation of an administrative review of the antidumping 
duty order on polyethylene terephthalate film, sheet and strip from the 
United Arab Emirates (UAE) for the period November 01, 2009, through 
October 31, 2010. See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Reviews and Request for Revocation in Part, 75 FR 81565, 
81570 (December 28, 2010). This review covers one producer and/or 
exporter of the subject merchandise to the United States: JBF RAK LLC 
(JBF).

Extension of Time Limit for the Preliminary Results

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 
Act), and section 351.213(h)(1) of the Department's regulations require 
the Department to issue the preliminary results of a review within 245 
days after the last day of the anniversary month of the order or 
suspension agreement for which the administrative review was requested, 
and final results of the review within 120 days after the date on which 
the notice of the preliminary results is 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 section 351.213(h)(2) 
of the Department's regulations allow the Department to extend the 245-
day period to 365 days and to extend the 120-day period to 180 days.
    The Department requires additional time to evaluate the 
questionnaire responses from JBF in order to conduct a thorough 
analysis of all information on the record, in particular the claimed 
sample sales and JBF's product matching issues. Therefore, the 
Department finds that it is not practicable to complete the preliminary 
results of this review by the original deadline of August 2, 2011, and 
is extending the deadline for completion of the preliminary results of 
this administrative review from 245 days to 365 days. The revised 
deadline for the preliminary results of this administrative review is 
now no later than November 30, 2011.
    This notice is issued and published pursuant to sections 
751(a)(3)(A) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: July 21, 2011.
Christian Marsh,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
