We will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to suspend liquidation of all entries of subject merchandise produced and exported by Lensi entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of publication of this notice in the Federal Register.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On August 24, 2007, in response to timely requests from MTZ 
Polyfilms, Ltd. (MTZ) and Jindal Poly Films Limited of India (Jindal), 
the Department of Commerce (the Department) initiated an administrative 
review of the countervailing duty order on polyethylene terephthalate 
(PET) film, sheet, and strip from India. See Initiation of Antidumping 
and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and Requests for 
Revocation in Part, 72 FR 48613 (August 24, 2007). This administrative 
review covers the period January 1, 2006 through December 31, 2006. The 
preliminary results of review are currently due no later than April 1, 
2008.

Extension of Time Limits for Preliminary Results

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 
Act) and section 351.213(h)(1) of the Department's regulations require 
the Department to issue the preliminary results of a review within 245 
days after the last day of the anniversary month of the order for which 
the administrative review was requested, and final results of the 
review within 120 days after the date on which the notice of the 
preliminary results is published in the Federal Register. However, if 
the Department determines that it is not practicable to complete the 
review within the aforementioned specified time limits, section 
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and section 351.213(h)(2) of the Department's 
regulations allow the Department to extend the 245-day period to 365 
days and to extend the 120-day period to 180 days.
    We determine that it is not practicable to complete the preliminary 
results of this review within the original time limit. Due to the large 
number of programs under review, the Department needs additional time 
to analyze the questionnaire responses and issue appropriate 
supplemental questionnaires. Therefore, the Department is extending the

administrative review of the countervailing duty order on PET film from 
India by 120 days from April 1, 2008 until no later than July 30, 2008.
