SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background On July 24, 1996, the Department of Commerce (‘‘the Department’’) published a countervailing duty order on certain pasta from Italy. See Notice of Countervailing Duty Order and Amended Final Affirmative Countervailing Duty Determination: Certain Pasta From Italy, 61 FR 38544 (July 24, 1996). On July 11, 2008, the Department published a notice of ‘‘Opportunity to Request Administrative Review’’ of this countervailing duty order for calendar year 2007, the period of review (‘‘POR’’). See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or Suspended Investigation; Opportunity to Request Administrative Review, 73 FR 39948 (July 11, 2008).

If it is not practicable to complete the review within the time period, section PO 00000 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows the Department to extend these deadlines to a maximum of 365 days and 180 days, respectively. We are awaiting supplemental information from the respondent and the Government of Italy in this review. Because the Department will require additional time to review and analyze this supplemental information and may issue further supplemental questionnaires, it is not practicable to complete this review within the originally anticipated time limit (i.e., by April 2, 2009). Therefore, the Department is extending the time limit for completion of the preliminary results to not later than June 1, 2009, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act. We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

SUMMARY: On September 9, 2008, the U.S. Department of Commerce (the 1 See Memo from the Department entitled ‘‘Request for Comments on Wheat Code Classifications,’’ dated January 9, 2009. VerDate Nov<24>2008 15:38 Mar 13, 2009 Jkt 217001 Department) published the preliminary results of the 2006 2007 administrative review of the antidumping duty order on floor–standing, metal–top ironing tables from the People’s Republic of China (PRC). See Floor–Standing, Metal–Top Ironing Tables and Certain Parts Thereof From the eople’s Republic of China: Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 73 FR 52277 (September 9, 2008) (AR3 Preliminary Results). This review covers two exporters. The period of review (POR) is August 1, 2006 through July 31, 2007. We invited interested parties to comment on the Preliminary Results. Based on our analysis of the comments received, we have made changes in the margin calculations. Therefore, the Final Results differ from the Preliminary Results. The weighted average dumping margins are listed below in the section entitled ‘‘Final Results of Review’’. EFFECTIVE DATE: March 16, 2009. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Michael J. Heaney or Robert James, AD/ CVD Operations, Office 7, Import Administration, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482–4475 or (202) 482– 0649, respectively. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background We published in the Federal Register the preliminary results of the second administrative review on September 9, 2008. See AR3 Preliminary Results. Following the AR3 Preliminary Results, on October 8 and October 10, 2008, the Department received respective case briefs from Since Hardware and from Home Products International (the Petitioner in this case). On October 14, and October 17, 2008, respectively Petitioner and Since Hardware submitted rebuttal briefs. On January 5, 2009, the Department extended the time frame for publication of the final results of review by an additional 60 days. See Floor–Standing Metal–Top Ironing Tables and Certain Parts Thereof from the People’s Republic of China: Extension of Time Limit for the Final Results of Administrative Review, 74 FR 267 (January 5, 2009). Scope of the Order For purposes of the order, the product covered consists of floor–standing, metal–top ironing tables, assembled or unassembled, complete or incomplete, and certain parts thereof. The subject PO 00000 Frm 00008 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 11085 tables are designed and used principally for the hand ironing or pressing of garments or other articles of fabric. The subject tables have full–height leg assemblies that support the ironing surface at an appropriate (often adjustable) height above the floor. The subject tables are produced in a variety of leg finishes, such as painted, plated, or matte, and they are available with various features, including iron rests, linen racks, and others. The subject ironing tables may be sold with or without a pad and/or cover. All types and configurations of floor–standing, metal–top ironing tables are covered by this review. Furthermore, the order specifically covers imports of ironing tables, assembled or unassembled, complete or incomplete, and certain parts thereof. For purposes of the order, the term ‘‘unassembled’’ ironing table means a product requiring the attachment of the leg assembly to the top or the attachment of an included feature such as an iron rest or linen rack. The term ‘‘complete’’ ironing table means product sold as a ready–to-use ensemble consisting of the metal–top table and a pad and cover, with or without additional features, e.g., iron rest or linen rack. The term ‘‘incomplete’’ ironing table means product shipped or sold as a ‘‘bare board’’ i.e., a metal–top table only, without the pad and cover with or without additional features, e.g. iron rest or linen rack. The major parts or components of ironing tables that are intended to be covered by the order under the term ‘‘certain parts thereof’’ consist of the metal top component (with or without assembled supports and slides) and/or the leg components, whether or not attached together as a leg assembly. The order covers separately shipped metal top components and leg components, without regard to whether the respective quantities would yield an exact quantity of assembled ironing tables. Ironing tables without legs (such as models that mount on walls or over doors) are not floor–standing and are specifically excluded. Additionally, tabletop or countertop models with short legs that do not exceed 12 inches in length (and which may or may not collapse or retract) are specifically excluded. The subject ironing tables were previously classified under Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) subheading 9403.20.0010. Effective July 1, 2003, the subject ironing tables are classified under new HTSUS subheading 9403.20.0011. The subject metal top and leg components are classified under HTSUS subheading E:\FR\FM\16MRN1.SGM 16MRN1

Background

    On August 26, 2008, the U.S. Department of Commerce 
(``Department'') published a notice of initiation of the administrative 
review of the antidumping duty order on certain pasta from Italy, 
covering the period July 1, 2007 to June 30, 2008. See Initiation of 
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews, 73 FR 50308 
(August 26, 2008). The preliminary results of this review are currently 
due no later than April 2, 2009.

Extension of Time Limit of Preliminary Results

    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 
or finding for which a review is requested. Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the 
Act further states that if it is not practicable to complete the review 
within the time period specified, the administering authority may 
extend the 245-day period to issue its preliminary results by up to 120 
days.
    We determine that completion of the preliminary results of this 
review within the 245-day period is not practicable because the 
Department requested additional information from all interested parties 
regarding wheat code classifications for model match.\1\ Wheat code 
classification is an integral part in making comparisons between home 
market and U.S. sales in the Department's margin calculations in this 
proceeding. Given the complexity of this issue and in accordance with 
section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2), we are 
extending the time period for issuing the preliminary results of review 
by 120 days. Therefore, the preliminary results are now due no later 
than July 31, 2009. The final results continue to be due 120 days after 
publication of the preliminary results.
