exclude receipts from sales taxes and
interest charges from credit sales.
The estimates of inventories represent
all merchandise held in wholesale
locations, warehouses, and offices, as
well as goods held by others for sale on
consignment or in transit for
distribution to wholesale
establishments. The estimates of
inventories exclude fixtures and
supplies not for resale, as well as
merchandise held on consignment
which are owned by others. Inventories
are an important component in the
Bureau of Economic Analysis’s (BEA)
calculation of the investment portion of
the Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
We publish wholesale sales and
inventory estimates based on the North
American Industry Classification
System (NAICS) which has been widely
adopted throughout both the public and
private sectors.
The Census Bureau tabulates the
collected data to provide, with
measurable reliability, statistics on
sales, end-of-month inventories, and
inventories/sales ratios for merchant
wholesalers, excluding MSBOs.
The BEA is the primary Federal user
of data collected in the MWTS. The BEA
uses data from this form to prepare the
national income and product accounts
(NIPA), input-output accounts (I–O),
and gross domestic product (GDP) by
industry. End-of-month inventories are
used to prepare the change in private
inventories component of GDP. Sales
are used to prepare estimates of real
inventory-sales ratios in the NIPAs,
extrapolate proprietors’ income for
wholesalers (until tax return data
become available) in the NIPAs, and
extrapolate annual current-dollar gross
output for the most recent year in
annual I–O tables, GDP-by-industry, and
advance GDP-by-industry estimates.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics uses
the data as input to its Producer Price
Indexes and in developing productivity
measurements. Private businesses use
the wholesale sales and inventory data
in computing business activity indexes.
Other government agencies and
businesses use this information for
market research, product development,
and business planning to gauge the
current trends of the economy.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
AGENCY:
Background
On August 31, 2010, the Department
of Commerce (the Department) initiated
the administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on PET Film
from Taiwan covering the period July 1,
2009, through June 30, 2010. See
Initiation of Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Administrative
Reviews and Deferral of Initiation of
Administrative Review, 75 FR 53274
(August 31, 2010). The current deadline
for the preliminary results of review is
April 2, 2011.
Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary
Results
Pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act),
the Department shall make a
preliminary determination in an
administrative review of an
antidumping duty order within 245
days after the last day of the anniversary
month of the date of publication of the
order. The Act further provides,
however, that the Department may
extend that 245-day period to 365 days
if it determines it is not practicable to
PO 00000
Frm 00005

complete the review within the
foregoing time period.
The Department finds that it is not
practicable to complete the preliminary
results of the administrative review of
PET Film from Taiwan within this time
limit. Specifically, the Department
granted an extension until March 2,
2011 for Shinkong Synthetic Fibers
Corporation to submit its supplemental
questionnaire response. We will need
additional time to review and analyze
the supplemental questionnaire
response when it is submitted.
Therefore, in accordance with section
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, the Department
is extending the time period for
completion of the preliminary results of
this review from 245 days to 365 days;
i.e., from April 2, 2011, until July 31,
2011.
However, July 31, 2011 falls on a
Sunday, and it is the Department’s longstanding 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 preliminary results
is now no later than August 1, 2011.
This notice is issued and published in
accordance with sections 751(a)(3)(A)
and 777(i)(1) of the Act.
