Background

    At the request of interested parties, the Department of Commerce 
(the Department) initiated an administrative review of the antidumping 
duty order on certain polyester staple fiber from Taiwan for the period 
May 1, 2010, through April 30, 2011.\1\ In Certain Polyester Staple 
Fiber From Taiwan: Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results of 
Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 77 FR 4543 (January 30, 2012) 
we extended the period of time for issuing the preliminary results by 
85 days to April 25, 2012.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Reviews and Requests for Revocation in Part, 76 FR 
37781 (June 28, 2011).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results

    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 determination is published 
in the Federal Register. 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.
    We determine that it is not practicable to complete the preliminary 
results of this review by the current deadline of April 25, 2012, 
because we require additional time to analyze responses with respect to 
the respondent's reported quarterly cost of production.\2\ Therefore, 
in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 
351.213(h)(2), we are further extending the time period for issuing the 
preliminary results of this review by an additional 35 days to May 30, 
2012.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ Additionally, the petitioners requested a 35 day extension 
in order to review the voluminous response data provided by Far 
Eastern New Century Corporation in this administrative review. See 
the petitioners' March 23, 2012, letter at 2.

    This notice is published in accordance with sections 751(a)(3)(A) 
and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: April 3, 2012.

Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Operations.
