SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On August 30, 2006, in response to timely requests from MTZ 
Polyfilms, Ltd., Jindal Poly Films Limited of India, and Garware 
Polyester, Ltd., the Department of Commerce (the Department) initiated 
an administrative review of the countervailing duty order on 
polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film, sheet, and strip from India. See 
Notice of Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Reviews and Requests for Revocation in Part, 71 FR 51573 
(August 30, 2006). This administrative review covers the period January 
1, 2005 through December 31, 2005.

Extension of Time Limits for 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.
    We determine that it is not practicable to complete the preliminary 
results of this review within the original time limit. Due to the large 
number of programs under review, the Department needs additional time 
to analyze the questionnaire responses and issue appropriate 
supplemental questionnaires. Therefore, the Department is extending the 
deadline for completion of the preliminary results of this 
administrative review of the countervailing duty order on PET film from 
India by 120 days from April 2, 2007 until no later than July 31, 2007.
    This notice is issued and published pursuant to sections 
751(a)(3)(A) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: March 30, 2007.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
