SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On September 9, 2008, the
Department of Commerce (‘‘the
Department’’) published in the Federal
Register a notice of initiation of a new
shipper review for shipments of wooden
bedroom furniture from the People’s
Republic of China (‘‘PRC’’) produced
and exported by Shanghai Fangjia
Industry Co., Ltd. (‘‘Shanghai Fangjia’’).
See Wooden Bedroom Furniture From
the People’s Republic of China:
Initiation of New Shipper Review, 73 FR
52296 (September 9, 2008). The
preliminary results of review are
currently due no later than February 23,
2009.
Statutory Time Limits
Section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Tariff
Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘the Act’’),
provides that the Department will issue
the preliminary results of a new shipper
review of an antidumping duty order
within 180 days after the day on which
the review was initiated. See also 19
CFR 351.214(i)(1). The Act further
provides that the Department may
extend that 180-day period to 300 days
if it determines that the case is
extraordinarily complicated. See section
751(a)(2)(B)(iv) and 19 CFR 351.214
(i)(2).
Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary
Results
The Department determines that this
new shipper review involves
extraordinarily complicated
methodological issues, pertaining to the
calculation of factors of production and
the evaluation of the bona fide nature of
Shanghai Fangjia’s sales. Therefore, in
accordance with section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv)
of the Act and 19 CFR 351.214(i)(2), the
Department is extending the time limit
for these preliminary results by 120
days, until no later than June 22, 2009.
The final results continue to be due 90
days after the publication of the
preliminary results.
We are issuing and publishing this
notice in accordance with sections
751(a)(2)(B)(iv) and 777(i) of the Act.
