SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On August 16, 2010, the Department of Commerce (the Department) 
published the preliminary results of this review. See Polyethylene 
Terephthalate Film, Sheet, and Strip From Taiwan: Preliminary Results 
of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 75 FR 49902 (August 16, 
2010) (Preliminary Results). The review covers the period July 1, 2008 
through June 30, 2009. The final results of review are currently due on 
December 14, 2010.

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 issue 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 this time period, section 751(a)(3)(A) of 
the Act allows the Department to extend the time period up to a maximum 
of 180 days from the date of publication of the preliminary results of 
this administrative review.
    The Department finds that it is not practicable to complete the 
final results of this administrative review by the current due date of 
December 14, 2010. Additional time is needed to review sales and cost 
data that were gathered after the Preliminary Results and to issue a 
post-preliminary analysis regarding whether to use an alternate cost 
methodology. Therefore, pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, we 
are extending the due date for the completion of the final results of 
this review from December 14, 2010 to February 12, 2011, 180 days after 
the date of publication of the Preliminary Results.
    Because February 12, 2011 falls on a Saturday, it is the 
Department's long-standing practice to issue a determination the next 
business day when the statutory deadline falls on a weekend, federal 
holiday, or any other day when the Department is closed. See Notice of 
Clarification: Application of ``Next Business Day'' Rule for 
Administrative Determination Deadlines Pursuant to the Tariff Act of 
1930, As Amended, 70 FR 24533 (May 10, 2005). Accordingly, the deadline 
for the completion of these final results is now no later than February 
14, 2011.
    This notice is published in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 
777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: December 6, 2010.
Gary Taverman,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Operations.
