Certain Polyester Staple Fiber From the People's Republic of 
China: Full Extension of Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty 
Administrative Review

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

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (``Department'') is extending the 
time limit for the preliminary results of the administrative review of 
certain polyester staple fiber from the People's Republic of China 
(``PRC''). This review covers the period June 1, 2009, through May 31, 
2010.

DATES: Effective Date: May 17, 2011.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jerry Huang or Steven Hampton, AD/CVD 
Operations, Office 9, Import Administration, International Trade 
Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and 
Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482-
4047 or (202) 482-0116, respectively.

Background

    On July 28, 2010, the Department published in the Federal Register 
a notice of initiation of the administrative review of the antidumping 
duty order on certain polyester staple fiber from the PRC. See 
Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative 
Reviews and Requests for Revocations in Part, 75 FR 44224 (July 28, 
2010). The preliminary results of this review are currently due no 
later than May 31, 2011.

Statutory Time Limits

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the 
Act''), requires the Department to issue the preliminary results within 
245 days after the last day of the anniversary month of an order for 
which a review is requested and the final results within 120 days after 
the date on which the preliminary results are published. However, 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. Although we previously 
extended the 245-day period by 90 days for completion of the review, we 
have determined that completion of the preliminary results of this 
review within the extended 335-day period is not practicable because 
the Department needs additional time to complete verification reports.
    Because it is not practicable to complete this review within the 
extended 335-day time period, we are fully extending the time limit for 
completion of the preliminary results of this administrative review by 
30 days. The preliminary results will now be due no later than June 30, 
2011. The final results continue to be due 120 days after the 
publication of the preliminary results.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
