The Monthly Retail Trade sample is
updated on an ongoing basis to account
for new retail employer businesses
(including those selling via the
Internet), business deaths, and other
changes to the retail business universe.
Research was conducted to ensure that
retail firms selected in the Monthly
Retail Trade Survey sample and engaged
in e-commerce are representative of the
universe of e-commerce retailers. Total
e-commerce sales for 2007 were
estimated at $136 billion.
Census publish retail sales and
inventories estimates based on the
North American Industry Classification
System (NAICS), which has been widely
adopted throughout both the public and
private sectors.
The BEA is the primary Federal user
of data collected in the Monthly Retail
Trade Survey. BEA uses the information
in its preparation of the National
Income and Products Accounts, and its
benchmark and annual input-output
tables. Statistics provided from retail
sales and inventories estimates are used
in the calculation of the GDP. If the
survey were not conducted, BEA would
lack comprehensive data from the retail
sector. This would adversely affect the
reliability of the National Income and
Products Accounts and the GDP.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS)
uses the data as input to their Producer
Price Indexes and in developing
productivity measurements. The data
are also used for gauging current
economic trends of the economy.
Private businesses use the retail sales
and inventories data to compute
business activity indexes. The private
sector also uses retail sales as a reliable
indicator of consumer activity.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background
On July 3, 2007, the Department of
Commerce (the Department) published a
notice in the Federal Register of
opportunity to request administrative
review of the antidumping duty order
on stainless steel sheet and strip in coils
from Taiwan. See Antidumping or
Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or
Suspended Investigation; Opportunity
to Request Administrative Review, 72
FR 36420 (July 3, 2007). On July 31,
2007, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.213(b)(1), the petitioners1 requested
an administrative review with respect to
15 producers/exporters of subject
merchandise. The Department received
no other requests for review.
On August 24, 2007, the Department
published a notice of initiation of
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on stainless
steel sheet and strip in coils from
Taiwan. See Initiation of Antidumping
and Countervailing Duty Administrative
Reviews and Requests for Revocation in

Ludlum Corporation, AK Steel Corporation, North
American Stainless, United Auto Workers Local

Part, 72 FR 48613 (Aug. 24, 2007). The
period of review is July 1, 2006, through
June 30, 2007, and the review covers 15
producers/exporters of the subject
merchandise to the United States. The
preliminary results are currently due no
later than April 1, 2008.
Partial Rescission of Review
On October 11, 2007, the petitioners
withdrew their request for
administrative review with respect to
each of the following companies within
the time limits set forth in 19 CFR
351.213(d)(1): 1) China Steel
Corporation; 2) Tang Eng Iron Works; 3)
PFP Taiwan Co., Ltd.; 4) Yieh Loong
Enterprise Co., Ltd. (also known as
Chung Hung Steel Co., Ltd.); 5) Yieh
Trading Corp.; 6) Goang Jau Shing
Enterprise Co., Ltd.; 7) Yieh Mau Corp.;
8) Chien Shing Stainless Co.; 9) Chain
Chon Industrial Co., Ltd.; 10) Emerdex
Stainless Flat–Rolled Products, Inc.; 11)
Emerdex Stainless Steel, Inc.; and 12)
Emerdex Group (and its various
affiliates). Section 351.213(d)(1) of the
Department’s regulations requires that
the Secretary rescind an administrative
review if a party requesting a review
withdraws the request within 90 days of
the date of publication of the notice of
initiation. Therefore, in accordance with
19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), because the
request for administrative review with
respect to the companies listed above
was timely withdrawn, we are
rescinding this review with regard to
those companies.
Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary
Results
Pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act),
the Department shall make a
preliminary determination in an
administrative review of an
antidumping order within 245 days after
the last day of the anniversary month of
the date of publication of the order.
Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act further
provides, however, that the Department
may extend the 245-day period to 365
days if it determines it is not practicable
to complete the review within the
foregoing time period. We determine
that it is not practicable to complete this
administrative review within the time
limits mandated by section 751(a)(3)(A)
of the Act because we require additional
time to analyze the data submitted by
the companies participating in this
review and issue supplemental
questionnaires to them. Therefore, we
have fully extended the deadline for
completing the preliminary results until
July 30, 2008, which is 365 days from
the last day of the anniversary month of
the date of publication of the order. The

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On July 3, 2007, the Department of Commerce (the Department)
published a notice in the Federal Register of opportunity to request
administrative review of the antidumping duty order on stainless steel
sheet and strip in coils from Taiwan. See Antidumping or Countervailing
Duty Order, Finding, or Suspended Investigation; Opportunity to Request
Administrative Review, 72 FR 36420 (July 3, 2007). On July 31, 2007, in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(b)(1), the petitioners\1\ requested an
administrative review with respect to 15 producers/exporters of subject
merchandise. The Department received no other requests for review.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ The petitioners in this proceeding are Allegheny Ludlum
Corporation, AK Steel Corporation, North American Stainless, United
Auto Workers Local 3303, United Steelworkers of America, AFL-CIO/
CLC, and Zanesville Armco Independent Organization.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On August 24, 2007, the Department published a notice of initiation
of administrative review of the antidumping duty order on stainless
steel sheet and strip in coils from Taiwan. See Initiation of
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and Requests
for Revocation in Part, 72 FR 48613 (Aug. 24, 2007). The period of
review is July 1, 2006, through June 30, 2007, and the review covers 15
producers/exporters of the subject merchandise to the United States.
The preliminary results are currently due no later than April 1, 2008.
Partial Rescission of Review
On October 11, 2007, the petitioners withdrew their request for
administrative review with respect to each of the following companies
within the time limits set forth in 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1): 1) China
Steel Corporation; 2) Tang Eng Iron Works; 3) PFP Taiwan Co., Ltd.; 4)
Yieh Loong Enterprise Co., Ltd. (also known as Chung Hung Steel Co.,
Ltd.); 5) Yieh Trading Corp.; 6) Goang Jau Shing Enterprise Co., Ltd.;
7) Yieh Mau Corp.; 8) Chien Shing Stainless Co.; 9) Chain Chon
Industrial Co., Ltd.; 10) Emerdex Stainless Flat-Rolled Products, Inc.;
11) Emerdex Stainless Steel, Inc.; and 12) Emerdex Group (and its
various affiliates). Section 351.213(d)(1) of the Department's
regulations requires that the Secretary rescind an administrative
review if a party requesting a review withdraws the request within 90
days of the date of publication of the notice of initiation. Therefore,
in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), because the request for
administrative review with respect to the companies listed above was
timely withdrawn, we are rescinding this review with regard to those
companies.
Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results
Pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of Tariff Act of 1930, as amended
(the Act), the Department shall make a preliminary determination in an
administrative review of an antidumping order within 245 days after the
last day of the anniversary month of the date of publication of the
order. Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act further provides, however, that
the Department may extend the 245-day period to 365 days if it
determines it is not practicable to complete the review within the
foregoing time period. We determine that it is not practicable to
complete this administrative review within the time limits mandated by
section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act because we require additional time to
analyze the data submitted by the companies participating in this
review and issue supplemental questionnaires to them. Therefore, we
have fully extended the deadline for completing the preliminary results
until July 30, 2008, which is 365 days from the last day of the
anniversary month of the date of publication of the order. The
[[Page 16265]]
deadline for the final results of the review continues to be 120 days
after the publication of the preliminary results.
This notice is published in accordance with sections 751(a)(3)(A)
and 777(i) of the Act.
