SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The Department of Commerce (``the Department'') published an 
antidumping duty order on polyvinyl alcohol (``PVA'') from the People's 
Republic of China (``PRC'') on October 1, 2003 (see Antidumping Duty 
Order: Polyvinyl Alcohol from the People's Republic of China, 68 FR 
56620). On October 29, 2004, Petitioners\1\ requested that the 
Department conduct an antidumping review of Sinopec Sichuan Vinylon 
Works.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Celanese, Ltd. and E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Co.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On November 19, 2004, the Department published in the Federal 
Register a notice of the initiation of the antidumping duty 
administrative review of PVA from the PRC for the period March 20, 
2003, through September 30, 2004. See Initiation of Antidumping and 
Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews, 69 FR 67701 (November 19, 
2004).\2\ The preliminary results of review are currently due no later 
than July 3, 2005.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ We note that the beginning date (i.e., March 20, 2003) of 
the announced period of review (``POR'') was not correct. The 
Department inadvertently published an incorrect beginning date which 
was the date of the preliminary determination of the investigation. 
Because the only respondent in this proceeding had a de minimis rate 
in the preliminary determination, the correct POR beginning date 
should have been the date of the final determination in the 
investigation. Thus, the Department corrected the beginning date of 
the POR to reflect the correct POR which is August 11, 2003, through 
September 30, 2004. See Memorandum to the File from Lilit 
Astvatsatrian, Case Analyst, through Robert Bolling, Program 
Manager, dated May 9, 2005.

Extension of Time Limit of Preliminary Results

    Pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 
amended (``the Act''), the Department shall issue preliminary results 
in an antidumping administrative review of an antidumping duty order 
within 245 days after the last day of the anniversary month of the date 
of publication of the order.
    The Act further provides, however, that the Department may extend 
the deadline for completion of the preliminary results if review from 
245 days to 365 days if it determines that it is not practicable to 
complete the preliminary results within the 245-day period. Completion 
of the preliminary results of this review within the 245-day period is 
not practicable because the Department needs additional time to analyze 
a significant amount of information pertaining to the respondent 
company's sales practices, factors of production involved in the four 
stages of the
    PVA production process, and corporate relationships, to send 
supplemental questionnaires and to review responses to these 
questionnaires.
    Because it is not practicable to complete this review within the 
time specified under the Act, we are extending the time period for 
issuing the preliminary results of review by 30 days
    until August 2, 2005, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of 
the Act. The final results continue to be due 120 days after the 
publication of the preliminary results.

    Dated: June 17, 2005.

Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
