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.
