Background

    On October 30, 2011, the Department of Commerce (``Department'') 
published the notice of initiation of an administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order on certain kitchen appliance shelving and racks 
from the People's Republic of China (``PRC''), covering the period 
September 1, 2010, through August 31, 2011.\1\ On November 17, 2011, 
after receiving U.S. Customs and Border Protection (``CBP'') data, the 
Department selected a mandatory respondent and issued its antidumping 
questionnaire. Additionally, on December 21, 2011, after receiving 
comments and rebuttal comments from Petitioners,\2\ New King Shan (Zhu 
Hai) Co., Ltd. and Guangdong Wireking Housewares and Hardware Co., 
Ltd., the Department selected an additional mandatory respondent.\3\ 
The preliminary results of this administrative review are currently due 
on June 1, 2012.

Extension of Time Limits for the Preliminary Results

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the 
Act''), requires the Department to issue 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 and to 
issue final results within 120 days after the date on which the 
preliminary results are published. However, if it is not practicable to 
complete the review within these time periods, section 751(a)(3)(A) of 
the Act allows the Department to extend the time limit for the 
preliminary results to a maximum of 365 days after the last day of the 
anniversary month.
    The Department determines that completion of the preliminary 
results of this review within the statutory time

[[Page 22560]]

period is not practicable. The Department requires more time to gather 
and analyze surrogate country and value information, review 
questionnaire responses, and issue supplemental questionnaires. 
Therefore, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, we are 
extending the time period for issuing the preliminary results of review 
by 120 days until September 29, 2012.\4\ The final results continue to 
be due 120 days after the publication of the preliminary results.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ September 29, 2012, is a Saturday. Department practice 
dictates that where a deadline falls on a weekend or federal 
holiday, the appropriate deadline is the next business day. See 
Notice of Clarification: Application of ``Next Business Day'' Rule 
for Administrative Determination Deadlines Pursuant to the Tariff 
Act of 1930, As Amended, 70 FR 24533 (May 10, 2005). Accordingly, 
the Department will issue the preliminary results on October 1, 
2012.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    This notice is published pursuant to sections 751(a)(3)(A) and 
777(i) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2).

     Dated: April 9, 2012.
Christian Marsh,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
