Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results of Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Review

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

DATES: Effective Date: April 1, 2011.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Toni Page, Import Administration,

Street and Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20230; telephone: 
(202) 482-1398.

Background

    On August 31, 2010, the Department of Commerce (Department) 
published a notice of initiation of an administrative review under the 
countervailing duty order on polyethylene terephthalate film, sheet and 
strip from India covering the period January 1, 2009, through December 
31, 2009. See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Reviews and Deferral of Initiation of Administrative 
Review, 75 FR 53274 (August 31, 2010). The Department initiated the 
review with respect to two companies, Ester Industries Limited and SRF 
Limited. SRF Limited has since withdrawn its request for review. The 
preliminary results of the review of Ester Industries Limited are 
currently due no later than April 2, 2011.

Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results

    Pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 
amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(1), the Department shall issue 
preliminary results in an administrative review of a countervailing 
duty order within 245 days after the last day of the anniversary month 
of the order for which the administrative review was requested. 
However, if the Department determines that it is not practicable to 
complete the preliminary results of the review within the 
aforementioned time limit, section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 
351.213(h)(2) allow the Department to extend the 245-day period to 365 
days.
    Pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 
351.213(h)(2), we determine that it is not practicable to complete the 
preliminary results of this review within the original time limit. The 
Department needs additional time

[[Page 18157]]

to analyze the extensive questionnaire responses that were submitted, 
and we anticipate issuing additional supplemental questionnaires. 
Therefore, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, the 
Department has decided to extend the time limit for the preliminary 
results from 245 days to 365 days. The preliminary results will now be 
due no later than July 31, 2011. However, July 31, 2011, falls on a 
Sunday, and it is the Department's long-standing practice to issue a 
determination the next business day when the statutory deadline falls 
on a weekend, federal holiday, or any other day when the Department is 
closed. 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). 
Accordingly, the deadline for the completion of the preliminary results 
is now August 1, 2011. Unless extended, the final results continue to 
be due 120 days after the publication of the preliminary results, 
pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(1).
    This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections 
751(a)(3)(A) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: March 28, 2011.
Christian Marsh,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
