SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The Department of Commerce (the
Department) initiated an administrative
review of the antidumping duty order
on purified carboxymethylcellulose
(CMC) from the Netherlands on August
26, 2008. See Initiation of Antidumping
and Countervailing Duty Administrative
Reviews, 73 FR 50308 (August 26,
2008).1 On May 26, 2009, the
Department published the preliminary
results of the administrative review of
the antidumping duty order covering
purified CMC from the Netherlands. See
Purified Carboxymethylcellulose from
the Netherlands; Preliminary Results of
Antidumping Duty Administrative
Review, 74 FR 24823 (May 26, 2009)
(Preliminary Results). In the Preliminary
Results, we invited parties to comment.
In response, CP Kelco submitted a case
brief and a request for a public hearing
on June 26, 2009. See Case Brief from
Arent Fox LLP (counsel for respondent)
titled ‘‘Purified Carboxymethylcellulose
from the Netherlands; Case Brief of CP
Kelco B.V.,’’ dated June 26, 2009 (Case
Brief). Petitioner submitted comments
on June 30, 2009. See Letter from

Kelco subsequently contacted officials
at the Department and withdrew its
request for a public hearing. See CP
Kelco’s ‘‘Withdrawal of Hearing
Request,’’ dated July 2, 2009. In lieu of
a public hearing, counsel for respondent
requested a meeting with Department
officials. See the Memorandum to the
File, titled ‘‘Administrative Review of
the Antidumping Duty Order on
Purified Carboxymethylcellulose from
the Netherlands: Meeting with Counsel
for Respondent,’’ dated July 15, 2009.
The current deadline for the final results
of this review is September 23, 2009.
Extension of Time Limits for Final
Results
Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act
of 1930, as amended (the Act), requires
the Department to complete the final
results of an administrative 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 these time
periods, section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act
allows the Department to extend the 120
day time period for the final results to
180 days.
The Department has determined it is
not practicable to complete this
administrative review within the
statutory time limit because the
Department requires additional time to
fully evaluate the comments put forth
by CP Kelco, particularly the extensive
comments concerning the nature of
reported factoring expenses.
Accordingly, the Department is
extending the time limit for completion
of the final results of this administrative
review until no later than October 7,
2009, which is 134 days after the date
on which the preliminary results of
review were published.
This extension is issued and
published in accordance with sections
751(a)(3)(A) and 777(i) of the Act.
