SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On March 9, 2010, the Department of Commerce (the Department) 
published the initiation of the new shipper review of the 
countervailing duty order on polyethylene terephthalate film, sheet and 
strip from India for the period January 1, 2009 through December 31,

Countervailing Duty New Shipper Reviews, 75 FR 10758 (March 9, 2010). 
This new shipper review covers one producer and exporter of the subject 
merchandise to the United States: SRF Limited. The preliminary results 
of this review are currently due no later than the first business day 
after August 29, 2010. 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).

Extension of Time Limit for the Preliminary Results

    Section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 
Act), and section 351.214(i)(1) of the Department's regulations require 
the Department to issue the preliminary results of a review within 180 
days after the date on which the new shipper review was initiated, and 
final results of the review within 90 days after the date on which the 
preliminary results were issued. However, if the Department concludes 
that a new shipper review is extraordinarily complicated, section 
751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act and section 351.214(i)(2) of the 
Department's regulations allow the Department to extend the 180-day 
period to 300 days, and to extend the 90-day period to 150 days. This 
review is extraordinarily complicated because the Department is 
analyzing certain programs not previously examined and evaluated in 
this proceeding. Therefore, the Department is extending the deadline 
for completion of the preliminary results of this new shipper review by 
a total of 85 days. Further, the Department intends to conduct a 
verification of the information SRF provided on the record. 
Accordingly, the deadline for the completion of these preliminary 
results is now no later than November 22, 2010.
    This notice is issued and published pursuant to sections 
751(a)(2)(B)(iv) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: August 18, 2010.
Edward C. Yang,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Operations.
