Background On July 14, 2010, the Department of Commerce (‘‘Department’’) published in the Federal Register the Preliminary Results of the second administrative review of certain polyester staple fiber (‘‘PSF’’) from the People’s Republic of China (‘‘PRC’’), covering the period June 1, 2008–May 31, 2009.

Extension of Time Limit for the Preliminary Results Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘the Act’’), requires the Department to issue the E:\FR\FM\20OCN1.SGM 20OCN1 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 202 / Wednesday, October 20, 2010 / Notices final results of an administrative review within 120 days after the date on which the Preliminary Results have been published. If it is not practicable to complete the review within the time period, section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows the Department to extend this deadline to a maximum of 180 days. The current deadline for the completion of the final results of this review is November 11, 2010.

The Department requires more time to analyze a significant amount of information pertaining to the respondents’ corporate structure and ownership, sales practices and manufacturing methods, as well as the labor wage rate surrogate value. Therefore, given the number and complexity of issues in this case, and in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, we are extending the time period for issuing the final results of review until December 20, 2010.

SUMMARY: On April 15, 2010, the Department of Commerce (‘‘Department’’) published the Preliminary Results of the first administrative review of the antidumping duty order on sodium hexametaphosphate (‘‘sodium hex’’) from the People’s Republic of China (‘‘PRC’’).1 We gave interested parties an opportunity to comment on the emcdonald on DSK2BSOYB1PROD with NOTICES AGENCY: 1 See First Administrative Review of Sodium Hexametaphosphate from the People’s Republic of China: Notice of Preliminary Results of the Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 75 FR 19613 (April 15, 2010) (‘‘Preliminary Results’’).

Based upon our analysis of the comments and information received, we made changes to the margin calculation for the final results. We find that the sole participating respondent in this review, Hubei Xingfa Chemical Group Co., Ltd. (‘‘Xingfa’’), sold subject merchandise at less than normal value (‘‘NV’’) during the period of review (‘‘POR’’), September 14, 2007–February 28, 2009. DATES: Effective Date: October 20, 2010.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background As noted above, on April 15, 2010, the Department published the Preliminary Results of this administrative review. On August 10, 2010, the Department published a notice extending the time period for issuing the final results by 53 days to October 5, 2010.2 On October 5, 2010, the Department extended the time period for issuing the final results by an additional 7 days to October 12, 2010.3 On July 26, 2010, the Department placed wage rate data on the record for comment following the recent decision in Dorbest Limited et al. v. United States, 2009–1257, –1266, issued by the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (‘‘CAFC’’) on May 14, 2010.4 Between May 21, 2010 and August 13, 2010, we received case and rebuttal briefs from the Petitioners 5 and Xingfa. Analysis of Comments Received All issues raised in the case and rebuttal briefs by parties are addressed in the ‘‘First Administrative Review of Sodium Hexametaphosphate from the People’s Republic of China: Issues and Decision Memorandum for the Final Results,’’ which is dated concurrently with this notice (‘‘I&D Memo’’). A list of the issues which parties raised, and to which we respond in the I&D Memo, is 2 See First Antidumping Duty Administrative Review of Sodium Hexametaphosphate from the People’s Republic of China: Extension of Time Limit for the Final Results, 75 FR 48309 (August 10, 2010). 3 See First Antidumping Duty Administrative Review of Sodium Hexametaphosphate from the People’s Republic of China: Extension of Time Limit for the Final Results, dated October 5, 2010. 4 See the ‘‘Changes Since the Preliminary Results’’ section below for a detailed explanation of the Department’s revised wage rate for these final results. 5 ICL Performance Products and Innophos, Inc.

The I&D Memo is a public document and is on file in the Central Records Unit (‘‘CRU’’), Main Commerce Building, Room 7046, and is accessible on the Department’s Web site at https://www.trade.gov/ia. The paper copy and electronic version of the memorandum are identical in content. Changes Since the Preliminary Results Based on a review of the record, as well as comments received from parties regarding our Preliminary Results, we have made revisions to Xingfa’s margin calculation for the final results. We have revised classifications for certain expenses in the surrogate financial ratios used in the Preliminary Results. Specifically, we have excluded packing costs and freight and forwarding costs because it is the Department’s practice to exclude certain expenses in order to avoid double-counting costs where the requisite data are available to do so.6 Moreover, consistent with the Department’s practice, we have included purchased goods in the denominator of the SG&A and profit ratio calculations.7 Pursuant to a recent decision by the CAFC,8 we have calculated a revised hourly wage rate to use in valuing Xingfa’s reported labor. The revised wage rate is calculated by averaging earnings and/or wages in countries that are economically comparable to the PRC and that are significant producers of comparable merchandise.9 Additionally, we have revised the surrogate value for sodium pyrophosphate.10 Scope of the Order The merchandise subject to this review is sodium hexametaphosphate. Sodium hexametaphosphate is a watersoluble polyphosphate glass that 6 See, e.g., Helical Spring Lock Washers From the People’s Republic of China: Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 73 FR 4175 (January 24, 2008) (where the Department clearly articulated its practice to avoid doublecounting costs in calculating dumping margins); see also I&D Memo at Comment 4. 7 See Amended Final Results of the First Antidumping Duty Administrative Review: Folding Metal Tables and Chairs From the People’s Republic of China, 70 FR 3187 (January 21, 2005); see also I&D Memo at Comment 4. 8 Dorbest v.

Background

    On July 14, 2010, the Department of Commerce (``Department'') 
published in the Federal Register the Preliminary Results of the second 
administrative review of certain polyester staple fiber (``PSF'') from 
the People's Republic of China (``PRC''), covering the period June 1,

Republic of China: Notice of Preliminary Results and Preliminary

Extension of Time Limit for the Preliminary Results

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the

final results of an administrative review within 120 days after the 
date on which the Preliminary Results have been published. If it is not 
practicable to complete the review within the time period, section 
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows the Department to extend this deadline

the final results of this review is November 11, 2010.

ownership, sales practices and manufacturing methods, as well as the 
labor wage rate surrogate value. Therefore, given the number and 
complexity of issues in this case, and in accordance with section 
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, we are extending the time period for issuing 
the final results of review until December 20, 2010.
    This notice is published pursuant to sections 751(1)(3)(A) and 
777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2).
