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. Frequency: Monthly.

The Department received no other requests for review.

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.

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.

within the time limits set forth in 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1): 1) China

review if a party requesting a review withdraws the request within 90

determines it is not practicable to complete the review within the
