People's Republic of China: Extension of Time Limit for the Final 
Results of the Antidumping Duty Administrative Review

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

DATES: Effective Date: November 15, 2010.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Thomas Martin, AD/CVD Operations, 
Office 4, Import Administration, International Trade Administration,

Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482-3936.

Background

    On December 23, 2009, Department of Commerce (``Department'') 
published the notice of the initiation of the antidumping duty 
administrative review on polyethylene terephthalate film, sheet, and 
strip from the People's Republic of China (``PRC''), covering the 
period November 6, 2008, through October 31, 2009. See Initiation of 
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and Request 
for Revocation in Part, 74 FR 68229 (December 23, 2009).
    On August 16, 2010, the Department published the preliminary 
results of this review. See Polyethylene Terephthalate Film, Sheet, and 
Strip From the People's Republic of China: Preliminary Results and 
Preliminary Rescission, in Part, of Antidumping Duty Administrative 
Review, 75 FR 49893 (August 16, 2010). The final results are currently 
due on December 14, 2010.

Extension of Time Limits for Final Results

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 
(``Act''), requires the Department to issue the final results in an 
administrative review of an antidumping duty order 120 days after the 
date on which the preliminary results are published. The Department 
may, however, extend the deadline for completion of the final results 
of an administrative review to 180 days if it determines it is not 
practicable to complete the review within the foregoing time period. 
The Department may extend the time for the final results without 
extending the time for the preliminary results, if such final results 
are made not later than 300 days after the date on which the 
preliminary results are published. See section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act 
and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2).
    The Department requires additional time to complete this review 
because the Department recently issued a revision of the valuation of 
the labor rate for the final results of the administrative review using 
a simple average industry-specific wage rate. The Department must 
analyze and consider significant issues raised in the parties' comments 
and post-preliminary submissions. Thus, it is not practicable to 
complete this review by the current due date. Therefore, we are 
extending the time for the completion of the final results of this 
review by an additional 60 days to February 12, 2011.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ As the 60-day extension falls on Saturday, February 12, 
2011, the deadline for the final results of review will be the next 
business day, which is February 14, 2011.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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