Background
On March 4, 2011, the Department of
Commerce (‘‘Department’’) published its
preliminary results of the 2009–2010
antidumping duty administrative
review. See Stainless Steel Bar From
India: Preliminary Results of, and
Partial Rescission of, the Antidumping
Duty Administrative Review, and Intent
Not To Revoke the Order, in Part, 76 FR

Results’’). The final results for this
VerDate Mar<15>2010

review are currently due no later than
July 2, 2011.
Extension of Time Limit for Final
Results
Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act
of 1930, as amended (‘‘Act’’), requires
that the Department issue the final
results of an administrative review
within 120 days after the date on which
the preliminary results are published. If
it is not practicable to complete the
review within this time period, section
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows the
Department to extend the deadline for
the final results to a maximum of 180
days after the date on which the
preliminary results are published.
The Department has determined that
it requires additional time to complete
this review. After publishing the
Preliminary Results, the Department
conducted a verification of the cost of
production responses for Venus Wire
Industries Pvt. Ltd. and its affiliate,
Sieves Manufacturers (India) Private
Limited. The Department intends to
issue a comprehensive report of the
results of this verification. Further, the
Department needs to allow time for
parties to review this verification report,
which further delays the briefing
schedule. Thus, it is not practicable to
complete this review by July 2, 2011,
and the Department is extending the
time limit for completion of the final
results by an additional 60 days to
August 31, 2011.
This notice is published pursuant to
sections 751(a) and 777(i) of the Act.
Dated: April 7, 2011.

Background
On October 28, 2010, the Department
of Commerce (‘‘Department’’) initiated
an administrative review of certain
kitchen appliance shelving and racks
from the People’s Republic of China
(‘‘PRC’’) for the period March 5, 2009,
through August 31, 2010. See Initiation
of Antidumping and Countervailing
Duty Administrative Reviews, 75 FR
66349 (October 28, 2010) (‘‘First
Initiation’’).1
On January 20, 2011, the Department
selected two mandatory respondents in
the above referenced administrative
review pursuant to section 777A(c)(2)(B)
of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended
(‘‘the Act’’): Guangdong Wireking
Housewares & Hardware Co., Ltd.
(‘‘Wireking’’) and Jiangsu Weixi Group
Co. (‘‘Weixi’’).2
The Department sent its antidumping
duty questionnaire to Weixi and
Wireking on January 20, 2011.3 In its
questionnaire, the Department requested
that the two firms provide a response to
1 Nashville Wire Products Inc. and SSW Holding
Company, Inc. (collectively, ‘‘Petitioners’’) initially
requested that the Department initiate an
administrative review of ten companies; however,
we required additional information concerning
why, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(b)(1), Petitioners
desired a review of five of these companies. See
First Initiation, 75 FR at 66352. Accordingly, the
Department postponed initiation of this
administrative review with respect to five
companies requested by Petitioners. See id. and
Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Administrative Reviews; Correction, 75 FR 69054
(November 10, 2010). After reviewing additional
information placed on the record of this
administrative review by Petitioners, we
determined that, for three of the five postponed
companies, Petitioners did not provide any reason,
other than alleged transshipment, for initiation;
therefore, we declined to initiate a review for Asia
Pacific CIS (Thailand) Co., Ltd., Taiwan Rail
Company, and King Shan Wire Co., Ltd. See
Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Administrative Reviews, 75 FR 73036, 73039
(November 29, 2010). However, we did, at this
point, also determine that it was appropriate to
initiate this review with respect to two additional
companies originally requested by Petitioners: Asia
Pacific CIS (Wuxi) Co., Ltd.; and Hengtong
Hardware Manufacturing (Huizhou) Co., Ltd. See

Section A of the Department’s
questionnaire by February 10, 2011, and
Sections C and D of the questionnaire by
February 28, 2011.
On February 2, 2011, eight days prior
to the Department’s February 10, 2011,
deadline for Section A questionnaire
responses, the Department received a
request on behalf of New King Shan
(Zhuhai) Co., Ltd. (‘‘NKS’’), a mandatory
respondent in the original investigation
and a separate rate company in this
review, to be selected as a replacement
mandatory respondent in the event of a
non-responsive mandatory respondent
and for a 28-day extension to submit
questionnaire responses.4 On February
4, 2011, Wireking filed a request for an
extension of the deadline to submit its
Section A response, which the
Department extended to February 22,
2011, for Wireking and any potential
voluntary respondents.5 The
Department did not receive an extension
request from Weixi and did not receive
its Section A response by the appointed
deadline.
On February 23, 2011, the Department
received an unsolicited Section A
questionnaire response from NKS.6 On
March 1, 2011, because Weixi did not
cooperate with our request for
information, the Department selected
NKS, the third largest exporter by
volume, as a replacement mandatory
respondent.7 We also determined that it
was appropriate to use the Section A
response already submitted by NKS as
the basis for that company’s response as
a mandatory respondent.8 On March 1,
2011, the Department sent its
antidumping questionnaire to NKS and
assigned a deadline of March 22, 2011,
for its Sections C and D responses.9 The
preliminary results of this review are
currently due on June 2, 2011.

Statutory Time Limits
DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act
requires the Department to issue the
preliminary results of an administrative
review within 245 days after the last day
of the anniversary month of an order for
which a review is requested. Consistent
with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, the
Department may extend the 245-day
period to 365 days if it is not practicable
to complete the review within a 245-day
period.
International Trade Administration
Extension of Time Limit of Preliminary
Results
The preliminary results are currently
due on June 2, 2011. The nonresponsiveness of one of the initial
mandatory respondents, Weixi, and the
selection of an additional mandatory
respondent, NKS, restricted the time
that the Department has available to
gather and analyze additional
information related to the sales process,
affiliations, establishing the proper date
of sale, surrogate values for all factors of
production, and the methodology used
to report factors of production. As the
Department has yet to receive all
responses to its supplemental
questionnaires, we require more time to
analyze the responses and issue any
additional supplemental questionnaires,
as needed. Therefore, we find that it is
not practicable to complete these
preliminary results within the current
245 day deadline.
Therefore, in accordance with section
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, the Department
is extending the time limit for issuing
the preliminary results by 120 days
until September 30, 2011. The final
results continue to be due 120 days after
the publication of the preliminary
results.
This notice is published pursuant to
section 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.213(h)(2).
Dated: April 7, 2011.
