review within 245 days after the last day
of the anniversary month of an order for
which a review is requested. If it is not
practicable to complete the review
within the time period, section
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows the

Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary
Results
The Department requires additional
time to review and analyze the
responses in this administrative review.
Moreover, the Department requires
additional time to analyze complex
issues related to surrogate value
selections. Because the Department
requires additional time to analyze the
information, it is not practicable to
complete this review within the
anticipated time limit (i.e. December 22,
2008). Therefore, the Department is
extending the time limit for completion
of the preliminary results by an
additional eight days (for a total
extension of 120 days) to not later than
December 30, 2008, in accordance with
section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.
We are issuing this notice in

2008, the Department placed on the
record of the AD CCR press releases
from the United States Attorney for the
Western District of Missouri and the
Securities and Exchange Commission
(SEC) regarding the American Italian
Pasta Company (AIPC). See the
Memorandum to the File from Eric B.
Greynolds, Program Manager, ‘‘Press

(September 29, 2008), a public
document on file in the Central Records
Unit (CRU), room 1117 of the main
Department building. On October 8,
2008, David M. Spooner, the Assistant
Secretary for Import Administration,
along with other officials from the
Department met with an official from
AIPC and counsel to Lensi/AIPC to
discuss issues pertaining to the ongoing

Extension of Time Limit for Final
Results
Under 19 CFR 351.216(e), the
Department will issue the final results
of a CCR within 270 days after the date
on which the Department initiates the
changed circumstances review.
Currently, the final results of the AD
CCR, which cover Lensi, a producer/
exporter of pasta from Italy, and AIPC,
Lensi’s corporate parent and importer of
subject merchandise produced by Lensi,
are due by December 22, 2008. As
explained above, the Department has
placed certain information regarding
Lensi on the record of the AD CCR. The
Department finds that it requires
additional time to review the new
factual information contained in the
October 17, 2008 submission of Lensi
and AIPC. Therefore, in order to have
sufficient time to review the new factual
information placed on the record of the
AD CCR, we are extending the due date
of the final results of the AD CCR by 11
days in accordance with 19 CFR
351.302(b). Therefore, the final results
of the AD CCR are now due no later
than January 2, 2009.
This notice is issued and published in
accordance with sections 751(b) and
777(i) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended.
Dated: December 19, 2008.

deposit is not available in this case.

Background
On October 31, 2007, the U.S.
Department of Commerce
(‘‘Department’’) published a notice of
initiation of the administrative review of
the antidumping duty order on certain
lined paper products from the People’s
Republic of China, covering the period
April 17, 2006 to August 31, 2007. See
Initiation of Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Administrative
Reviews, 72 FR 61621 (October 31,
2007). On October 7, 2008, the
Department published the preliminary
results of this review. See Certain Lined
Paper Products from the People’s
Republic of China: Notice of Preliminary
Results of the Antidumping Duty
Administrative Review, 73 FR 58540
(October 7, 2008). The final results of
this review are currently due no later
than February 4, 2009.
Extension of Time Limit of Final
Results
Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act
of 1930, as amended (‘‘Act’’), requires
the Department to issue the final results
of a review within 120 days after the
date on which the preliminary results
are published. However, if it is not
practicable to complete the review
within that time period, section
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows the
Department to extend the time limit for
the final results to a maximum of 180
days. See also 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2).
We determine that it is not practicable
to complete the final results of this
review within the original time limit
because several technical issues have
arisen. The mandatory respondent and
its suppliers have complex cost
allocation issues, which require the
Department to further clarify and
analyze a significant amount of
information associated with the factors
of production and manufacturing costs.
Thus, additional time is necessary to
complete the final results. Therefore, the
Department is fully extending the final
results by 60 days. The final results are
now due not later than April 5, 2009. As
this date falls on a Sunday, the final
results are due April 6, 2009. See Notice
of Clarification: Application of ‘‘Next
Business Day’’ Rule for Administrative
Determination Deadlines Pursuant of
the Tariff Act of 1930, As Amended, 70
FR 24533 (May 10, 2005).
This extension is in accordance with
section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19
CFR 351.213(h)(2).
