Order Denying Export Privileges
On October 9, 2009, in the U.S.
District Court, District of Minnesota,
Kok Tong Lim, a/k/a Thomas Lim,
(‘‘Lim’’) of Singapore, pled guilty to one
count of violating the International
Emergency Economic Powers Act (50
U.S.C. 1701 et seq. (2000)) (‘‘IEEPA’’).
Specifically, Lim conspired to illegally
export wound carbon fiber, an item
subject to the Regulations and
controlled under Export Control
Classification Numbers (‘‘ECCN’’) 1C010
and 1C210, to the China Academy of
Space Technology. Lim was sentenced
for a prison term of time served, which
amounted to one year imprisonment,
and ordered to serve two years of
supervised release.
Section 766.25 of the Export
Administration Regulations (‘‘EAR’’ or
‘‘Regulations’’) 1 provides, in pertinent
part, that ‘‘[t]he Director of the Office of
Exporter Services, in consultation with
the Director of the Office of Export
Enforcement, may deny the export
privileges of any person who has been
convicted of a violation of the [Export
Administration Act (‘‘EAA’’)], the EAR,
or any order, license or authorization
issued thereunder; any regulation,
license, or order issued under the
International Emergency Economic
Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701–1706); 18
U.S.C. 793, 794 or 798; section 4(b) of
the Internal Security Act of 1950 (50
U.S.C. 783(b)), or section 38 of the Arms
Export Control Act (22 U.S.C. 2778).’’ 15

Code of Federal Regulations at 15 CFR parts 730–
774 (2011). The Regulations issued pursuant to the
Export Administration Act (50 U.S.C. app. §§ 2401–
2420 (2000)) (‘‘EAA’’). Since August 21, 2001, the
EAA has been in lapse and the President, through
Executive Order 13222 of August 17, 2001 (3 CFR,
2001 Comp. 783 (2002)), which has been extended
by successive Presidential Notices, the most recent
being that of August 12, 2011 (76 FR 50661 (August

Bureau of Industry and Security’s Office
of Exporter Services may revoke any
Bureau of Industry and Security (‘‘BIS’’)
licenses previously issued in which the
person had an interest in at the time of
his conviction.
I have received notice of Lim’s
conviction for violating IEEPA, and
have provided notices and opportunities
for Lim to make a written submission to
BIS, as provided in Section 766.25 of
the Regulations. I have not received a
submission from Lim. Based upon my
review and consultations with BIS’s
Office of Export Enforcement, including
its Director, and the facts available to
BIS, I have decided to deny Lim’s export
privileges under the Regulations for a
period of ten years from the date of
Lim’s conviction. I have also decided to
revoke all licenses issued pursuant to
the Act or Regulations in which Lim
had an interest at the time of his
conviction.

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce
(‘‘Department’’) is extending the time
limit for the preliminary results of the
administrative review of certain
polyester staple fiber from the People’s
Republic of China (‘‘PRC’’). This review
covers the period June 1, 2010, through
May 31, 2011.

AGENCY:
Background
On July 28, 2011, the Department
published a notice of initiation of the
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on certain
polyester staple fiber from the PRC. See
Initiation of Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Administrative
Reviews, Requests for Revocations in
Part and Deferral of Administrative
Reviews, 76 FR 45227 (July 28, 2011).
The preliminary results are currently
due no later than March 1, 2012.
Statutory Time Limits
In antidumping duty administrative
reviews, section 751(a)(3)(A) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘the
Act’’), requires the Department to make
a preliminary determination within 245
days after the last day of the anniversary
month of an order for which a review
is requested and a final determination

Frm 00012

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
time limit for the preliminary
determination to a maximum of 365
days after the last day of the anniversary
month.
Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary
Results of Review
We determine that it is not practicable
to complete the preliminary results of
this administrative review within the
original time limit because the
Department requires additional time to
analyze questionnaire responses, issue
supplemental questionnaires, and
evaluate surrogate value submissions for
purposes of the preliminary results.
Therefore, the Department is extending
the time limit for completion of the
preliminary results of this
administrative review by 30 days. The
preliminary results will now be due no
later than March 31, 2012. As that day
falls on a Saturday, the preliminary
results are due no later than April 2,
2012.1 The final results continue to be
due 120 days after the publication of the
preliminary results.
We are issuing and publishing this
notice in accordance with sections
751(a)(3)(A) and 777(i) of the Act.
Dated: February 3, 2012.
