AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration,

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Michael A. Romani, AD/CVD Operations,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

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, 2009, through April 30, 2010. See Initiation of Antidumping and 
Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and Requests for Revocation 
in Part, 75 FR 37759 (June 30, 2010). The preliminary results are 
currently due no later than January 31, 2011.

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 January 31, 2011, 
because we require additional time to obtain additional information 
concerning the respondent's U.S. and home-market sales. Therefore, in 
accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 
351.213(h)(2), we are extending the time period for issuing the 
preliminary results of this review by 74 days to April 15, 2011.
    This notice is published in accordance with sections 751(a)(3)(A) 
and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: January 24, 2011.
Christian Marsh,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
