Background 

On June 9, 2008, the Department of 

Commerce (‘‘the Department’’) 

published a notice of opportunity to 

request an administrative review of the 

antidumping duty order on stainless 

steel butt-weld pipe fittings 

(‘‘SSBWPFs’’) from Taiwan for the 

period of review (‘‘POR’’) of June 1, 

2007, through May 31, 2008. See 

Antidumping or Countervailing Duty 

Order, Finding, or Suspended 

Investigation; Opportunity To Request 

Administrative Review, 73 FR 32557 

(June 9, 2008). On June 27, 2008, 

Flowline Division of Markovitz 

Enterprises, Inc. (‘‘Flowline Division’’), 

Gerlin, Inc., Shaw Alloy Piping 

Products, Inc., and Taylor Forge 

Stainless, Inc. (collectively, 

‘‘petitioners’’) requested an 

antidumping duty administrative review 

for sales of SSBWPFs from Taiwan 

produced by Ta Chen Stainless Pipe Co., 

Ltd. (‘‘Ta Chen’’), Liang Feng Stainless 

Steel Fitting Co., Ltd., Liang Feng 

Enterprise, Tru-Flow Industrial Co., 

Ltd., Censor International Corporation, 

and PFP Taiwan Co., Ltd. On June 30, 

2008, Ta Chen also requested an 

administrative review of its sales to the 

United States during the POR. On July 

30, 2008, the Department published the 

notice initiating this administrative 

review. See Initiation of Antidumping 

and Countervailing Duty Administrative 

Reviews, Request for Revocation In Part, 

and Deferral of Administrative Review, 

73 FR 44220 (July 30, 2008). The

Extension of Time Limits for 

Preliminary Results of Review 

Pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the 

Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘the 

Act’’), and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2), the 

Department may extend the deadline for 

completion of the preliminary results of 

a review by 120 days if it determines 

that it is not practicable to complete the 

preliminary results within 245 days 

after the last day of the anniversary 

month of the date of publication of the 

order for which the administrative 

review was requested. Due to the 

complexity of the issues involved, 

including Ta Chen’s reported costs of 

production, and the time required to 

obtain and analyze additional 

information from Ta Chen, the 

Department has determined that it is not 

practicable to complete this review 

within the original time period. 

Accordingly, the Department is 

extending the time limit for the 

preliminary results by 120 days to not 

later than June 30, 2009, in accordance 

with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act. 

The deadline for the final results of 

this review will continue to be 120 days 

after publication of the preliminary 

results. 

This notice is published in 

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

and 777(i) of the Act.

1An extension of an additional 30 days would 

result in a new deadline of April 5, 2009. As April 

5, 2009, falls on a Sunday, the final results will now 

be due no later than April 6, 2009, the next business 

day. 

Review, 74 FR 430, (January 6, 2009). 

The final results are currently due on 

March 6, 2009. 

Extension of Time Limits for Final 

Results 

Section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Tariff 

Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘the Act’’), 

and 19 CFR 351.214(i)(1) require the 

Department to issue the final results of 

a new shipper review within 90 days 

after the date on which the preliminary 

results were issued. The Department 

may, however, extend the 90-day period 

for completion of the final results of a 

new shipper review to 150 days if it 

determines that the case is 

extraordinarily complicated. See section 

751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.214(i)(2). 

As a result of the complex issues 

raised in this new shipper review, 

including by-product offsets and 

separate rate eligibility, the Department 

determines that this new shipper review 

is extraordinarily complicated and it 

cannot complete this new shipper 

review within the current time limit. 

Accordingly, the Department is 

extending the time limit for the 

completion of the final results by an 

additional 30 days until April 6, 2009,1

in accordance with section 

751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.214(i)(2). 

We are issuing and publishing this 

notice in accordance with sections 

751(2)(B) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Initiation 

On July 31, 2008, Nashville Wire 

Products Inc., SSW Holding Company, 

Inc., United Steel, Paper and Forestry, 

Rubber Manufacturing, Energy, AlliedIndustrial and Service Workers 

International Union, and the 

International Association of Machinists 

& Aerospace Workers, District Lodge 6 

(Clinton IA) (hereafter referred to as the 

‘‘Petitioners’’) filed a antidumping duty 

petition on PRC imports of kitchen 

appliance shelving and racks. See 

Petition for the Imposition of 

Antidumping Duties: Certain Kitchen 

Appliance Shelving and Racks From the 

People’s Republic of China (in two 

volumes), dated July 31, 2008 

(‘‘Petition’’). The Department of 

Commerce (‘‘Department’’) initiated this 

investigation on August 20, 2008. See 

Certain Kitchen Appliance Shelving and 

Racks From the People’s Republic of 

China: Initiation of Antidumping Duty 

Investigation, 73 FR 50596 (August 27, 

2008) (‘‘Initiation Notice’’). 

On September 22, 2008, the United 

States International Trade Commission 

(‘‘ITC’’) issued its affirmative 

preliminary determination that there is 

a reasonable indication that an industry 

in the United States is materially 

injured by reason of imports from the 

PRC of certain kitchen appliance 

shelving and racks. The ITC’s 

determination was published in the 

Federal Register on September 24, 2008. 

See Certain Kitchen Appliance Shelving 

and Racks From China, 73 FR 55132 

(September 24, 2008); see also Certain 

Kitchen Appliance Shelving and Racks 

From China: Investigation No. 731–TA– 

458 and 731–TA–1154 (Preliminary),

2008). 

Scope Comments 

In accordance with the preamble to 

our regulations, we set aside a period of 

time for parties to raise issues regarding 

product coverage and encouraged all 

parties to submit comments within 20 

calendar days of publication of the 

Initiation Notice. See Antidumping 

Duties; Countervailing Duties; Final 

Rule, 62 FR 27296, 27323 (May 19, 

1997). See also Initiation Notice, 73 FR 

at 50596. We received no comments 

from interested parties on issues related 

to the scope. However, on February 5, 

2009, we placed a memorandum to the 

file on the record of this investigation 

stating that the companion 

countervailing duty investigation team 

at the Department spoke with the 

National Import Specialist at U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’) 

who indicated the Department should 

include the additional Harmonized 

Tariff Schedule of the United States 

(‘‘USHTS’’) number 8418.99.80.60 to the 

scope of the investigation. See 

Memorandum to the File from Katie 

Marksberry dated February 5, 2009. 

Therefore, we are adding the HTS 

number 8418.99.80.60 to the scope of 

this investigation for this preliminary 

determination. The Department did not 

receive any comments on the change to 

the scope of this investigation. See 

‘‘Scope of Investigation’’ section below. 

Period of Investigation 

The period of investigation (‘‘POI’’) is 

January 1, 2008, through June 30, 2008. 

This period corresponds to the two most 

recent fiscal quarters prior to the month 

of the filing of the petition (July 31, 

2008). See 19 CFR 351.204(b)(1). 

Respondent Selection 

In the Initiation Notice, the 

Department stated that it intended to 

select respondents based on quantity 

and value (‘‘Q&V’’) questionnaires. See 

Initiation Notice, 73 FR at 50598–50599. 

On September 8, 2008, the Department 

requested Q&V information from the 12 

companies that Petitioners identified as 

potential exporters or producers of 

certain kitchen appliance shelving and 

racks from the PRC. See Petition at Vol 

1., Exhibit 3. Additionally, the 

Department also posted the Q&V 

questionnaire for this investigation on 

its Web site at www.trade.gov/ia. 

The Department received timely Q&V 

responses from six exporters that 

shipped merchandise under 

investigation to the United States during 

the POI, and from one company who 

stated it had no shipments of 

merchandise under investigation to the 

United States during the POI. On
