Trade Administration, U.S. Department 

of Commerce, 14th Street and 

Constitution Avenue, NW, Washington 

DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482–4475 

and (202) 482–0649, respectively. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

At the request of interested parties, on 

July 29, 2009, the Department published 

in the Federal Register a notice of 

initiation of this antidumping duty 

administrative review. See Initiation of 

Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 

Administrative Reviews and Deferral of 

Administrative Review, 74 FR 39690 

(July 29, 2009). The review covers the 

period June 1, 2008, through May 31, 

2009. The preliminary results for this 

administrative review is currently due 

no later than March 9, 2010. 

Extension of Time Limits for 

Preliminary Results 

Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act 

of 1930, as amended (the Act), requires 

the Department to complete 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. In this 

case, we note the deadline for 

completion of this administrative 

review has been extended by an 

additional seven days because of 

hazardous weather. See February 12, 

2010 Memorandum, ‘‘Tolling of 

Administrative Deadlines As a Result of 

the Government Closure During the 

Recent Snowstorm.’’ However, 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 245 day time 

period for the preliminary results up to 

365 days. 

The Department has determined it is 

not practicable to complete this review 

within the statutory time limit because 

we require additional time to gather and 

analyze information relating to Kolon’s 

cost of production, home market sales 

activities, and U.S. sales activities. 

Accordingly, the Department is 

extending the time limits for completion 

of the preliminary results of this 

administrative review until no later than 

July 7, 2010, which is 365 days from the 

last day of the anniversary month of this 

order, plus the seven-day extension for 

hazardous weather. We intend to issue 

the final results in this review no later 

than 120 days after publication of the 

preliminary results. 

This notice is issued and published in 

accordance with sections 751(a)(3)(A) 

and 777(i) of the Act. 

Dated: February 24,2010.

Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for 

Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 

Operations.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

Endangered Species Act of 1973, as 

amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) and 

the regulations governing the taking, 

importing, and exporting of endangered 

and threatened species (50 CFR 222– 

226).Permit No. 13544 authorizes the 

permit holder to characterize the 

aggregations of sea turtles in the 

nearshore waters of Lee County in 

southwest Florida. The permit holder 

may annually capture 130 Kemp’s ridley 

(Lepidochelys kempii), 50 loggerhead 

(Caretta caretta), 20 green (Chelonia

(Eretmochelys imbricata) turtles. Turtles 

are collected using a large-mesh, runaround strike net. Turtles are measured, 

weighed, and tagged with Inconel and 

passive integrated transponder tags. 

Tissue samples are collected for genetic 

and stable isotope analyses. A subset of 

Kemp’s ridleys are held for 24–48 hours 

for fecal sample collection. Another 

subset of Kemp’s ridleys receive 

electronic transmitters to investigate 

their movements, home range, and 

habitat associations. The permit expires 

on April 30, 2014. 

The permit holder requests 

authorization to satellite tag a subset of 

Kemp’s ridley and loggerhead turtles to 

determine their seasonal distribution 

and possible migrations in the waters of 

the southeastern Gulf. 

File No. 14586 is requested under the 

authority of the Marine Mammal 

Protection Act of 1972, as amended 

(MMPA; 16 U.S.C. 1361 et. seq.), the

et. seq.), and the regulations governing

File No. 14586 would authorize 

researchers to conduct aerial and vessel 

surveys in the Straits of Florida off 

Florida’s southeast coast. The goal of 

this project would be to collect baseline 

data regarding the abundance and 

distribution of marine mammals and sea 

turtles within the proposed study site. 

Since this study site is being considered 

as a testing site for ocean energy 

technology, researchers would assess 

the presence of animals before, during, 

and after the testing. 

Abundance surveys could result in 

the harassment of sea turtles 

[leatherback (Dermochelys coriacea), 

loggerhead, green, hawksbill, and 

Kemp’s ridley], as well as numerous 

cetacean species including fin whales 

(Balaenoptera physalus), sperm whales 

(Physeter macrocephalus), humpback 

whales (Megaptera novaengliae), and 

the North Atlantic right whale 

(Eubalaena glacialis). The permit would 

be valid for five years from the date of 

issuance.

People’s Republic of China: 

Preliminary Results of Antidumping 

Duty New Shipper Review 

AGENCY: Import Administration, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

EFFECTIVE DATE: March 3, 2010. 

SUMMARY: On August 20, 2009, the 

Department of Commerce 

(‘‘Department’’) initiated a new shipper 

review of the antidumping duty order 

on wooden bedroom furniture from the 

People’s Republic of China (‘‘PRC’’) 

covering sales of subject merchandise 

made by Zhejiang Tianyi Scientific & 

Educational Equipment Co., Ltd. 

(‘‘Zhejiang Tianyi’’) and Rise Furniture 

Co., Ltd. (‘‘Rise Furniture’’).1 On 

December 29, 2009, the Department 

rescinded the new shipper review with 

respect to Rise Furniture.2

The Department preliminary 

determines that Zhejiang Tianyi has not 

made sales at less than normal value 

(‘‘NV’’). If these preliminary results are 

adopted in our final results of review, 

the Department will instruct U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’) 

to assess antidumping duties on entries 

of subject merchandise during the 

period January 1, 2009 through June 30, 

2009 (the period of review or POR), for 

which the importer–specific assessment 

rates are above de minimis.

On July 31, 2009, the Department 

received timely requests for new 

shipper reviews from Rise Furniture and 

Zhejiang Tianyi. On August 20, 2009, 

the Department initiated new shipper 

reviews of Rise Furniture and Zhejiang 

Tianyi. See Initiation Notice. 

On August 24, 2009, the Department 

issued an antidumping duty 

questionnaire to Rise Furniture and 

Zhejiang Tianyi. On November 10, 2009, 

Rise Furniture withdrew its request for 

a new shipper review and, accordingly, 

the Department rescinded the new 

shipper review with respect to Rise 

Furniture. From September 2009 

through January 2010, the Department 

received timely questionnaire and 

supplemental questionnaire responses 

from Zhejiang Tianyi. 

On October 28, 2009, the Office of 

Policy issued a memorandum 

identifying six countries as being at a 

level of economic development 

comparable to the PRC for the instant 

POR. The countries identified in that 

memorandum are India, Indonesia, the 

Philippines, Colombia, Thailand, and 

Peru.4 On November 2, 2009, the 

Department released the Policy 

Memorandum to interested parties and 

provided parties with an opportunity to 

submit comments regarding the 

selection of a surrogate country in the 

instant review.5 On November 16, 2009, 

the American Furniture Manufacturers 

Committee for Legal Trade and 

Vaughan–Bassett Furniture Company,
