Polyethylene Terephthalate Film, Sheet and Strip From India: 
Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty New 
Shipper Review

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

DATES: Effective Date: October 25, 2010.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Elfi Blum, Import Administration, 
International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th 
Street and Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20230; telephone: 
(202) 482-0197.

Background

    On March 2, 2010, the Department of Commerce (the Department) 
initiated a new shipper review under the antidumping duty order on 
polyethylene terephthalate film, sheet and strip from India for the 
period July 1, 2009 through December 31, 2009. See Polyethylene 
Terephthalate Film, Sheet and Strip from India: Initiation of 
Antidumping Duty and 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. 
On August 27, 2010, the Department published a notice of extension for 
this new shipper review. See Polyethylene Terephthalate Film, Sheet and 
Strip from India: Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results of 
Antidumping Duty New Shipper Review, 75 FR 52717 (August 27, 2010). The 
preliminary results of this review are currently due no later than 
October 22, 2010.

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 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. The 
Department determines that this new shipper review involves 
extraordinarily complicated issues pertaining to the bona fides of the 
new shipper, including the examination of importer and customer 
information. The Department also must address certain complicated 
methodological issues pertaining to SRF Limited's reported sales data. 
Because of these issues, the Department must issue another supplemental 
questionnaire to SRF Limited, provide SRF Limited with time to respond, 
and analyze SRF Limited's response.
    Therefore, the Department is extending the deadline for completion 
of the preliminary results of this new shipper review by an additional 
total of 55 days, in accordance with section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the 
Act and 19 CFR 351.214(i)(2). Accordingly, the deadline for the 
completion of the preliminary results is now no later than December 16, 
2010.
    This notice is issued and published pursuant to sections 
751(a)(2)(B)(iv) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: October 18, 2010.
Susan H. Kuhbach,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Operations.
