## 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.                

## 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.                

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

Dated: April 3, 2012.

Gary Taverman,

Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Operations.
