SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On September 28, 2005, the Department of Commerce (``the 
Department'') published in the Federal Register a notice of initiation 
of the antidumping duty administrative review of Polyethylene Retail 
Carrier Bags (``PRCBs'') from the People's Republic of China (``PRC'') 
for the period January 26, 2004, through July 31, 2005. See Initiation 
of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and 
Request for Revocation in Part, 70 FR 56631 (September 28, 2005). On 
September 13, 2006, the Department published the preliminary results. 
See Polyethylene Retail Carrier Bags from the People's Republic of 
China: Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 
71 FR 54021 (September 13, 2006) (``Preliminary Results''). On January 
10, 2007, the Department extended the time period for completion of the 
final results of this review. See Polyethylene Retail Carrier Bags from 
the People's Republic of China: Notice of Extension of Time Limit for 
the Final Results of the Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 72 FR

Carrier Bags from the People's Republic of China: Notice of Extension 
of Time Limit for the Final Results of the Antidumping Duty 
Administrative Review, 72 FR 7417 (February 15, 2007). The final 
results are currently due by February 26, 2007.

Extension of Time Limit for Final Results of Review

    Pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 
amended (``the Act''), the Department shall make a final determination 
in an administrative review of an antidumping duty order within 120 
days after the date on which the preliminary determination is 
published. The Act further provides, however, that the Department may 
extend that 120-day period to 180 days if it determines it is not 
practicable to complete the review within the foregoing time period.
    The Department finds that it is not practicable to complete the 
final results of the administrative review of PRCBs from the PRC by 
February 26, 2007, due to complex issues related to the calculation of 
surrogate financial ratios. Therefore, in accordance with section 
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, the Department is extending the time period 
for completion of the final results of this review to 180 days after 
publication of the Preliminary Results. Therefore, the final results 
are now due no later than March 12, 2007.
    This notice is published in accordance with sections 751(a)(3)(A) 
and 777(i) of the Act.

    Dated: February 26, 2007.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretaryfor Import Administration.
