SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On January 28, 2008, the U.S. 

Department of Commerce (‘‘the 

Department’’) published a notice of 

initiation of the administrative review of 

the countervailing duty order on hotrolled carbon steel products from India 

covering the period January 1, 2007, 

through December 31, 2007. See 

Initiation of Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Administrative 

Reviews and Request for Revocation in 

Part, 73 FR 4829 (January 28, 2008). The 

preliminary results are currently due no 

later than September 1, 2008. 

Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary 

Results 

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

of 1930, as amended (‘‘the Act’’), 

requires the Department to make a 

preliminary determination within 245 

days after the last day of the anniversary 

month of an order for which a review 

is requested. Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the 

Act further states that if it is not 

practicable to complete the review 

within the time period specified, the 

administering authority may extend the 

245-day period to issue its preliminary 

results to up to 365 days. 

Due to the complexity of the issues in 

this administrative review, such as the 

absence of exports during the POR and 

the petitioners’ request for verification, 

we have determined that it is not 

practicable to complete the preliminary 

results within the 245-day period. 

Therefore, in accordance with section 

751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, we are partially 

extending the time period for issuing 

the preliminary results of the review by 

109 days. The preliminary results are 

now due no later than December 19, 

2008. The final results continue to be 

due 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: July 24, 2008.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background 

The Department has received timely 

requests, in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.213(b)(2002), for administrative 

reviews of various antidumping and 

countervailing duty orders and findings 

with June anniversary dates. The 

Department also received a timely 

request to revoke in part the 

antidumping duty order on stainless 

steel butt-weld pipe fittings from 

Taiwan with respect to one exporter. In 

addition, the Department received a 

request to defer for one year the 

initiation of the June 1, 2007 through 

May 31, 2008 administrative review of 

the antidumping duty order on Folding 

Metal Tables and Chairs from the 

People’s Republic of China with respect 

to one exporter in accordance with 19 

CFR 351.213(c). The Department 

received no objections to this request 

from any party cited in 19 CFR 

351.213(c)(1)(ii). 

Respondent Selection 

In the event the Department limits the 

number of respondents for individual 

examination for administrative reviews, 

the Department intends to select 

respondents based on U.S. Customs and 

Border Protection (CBP) data for U.S. 

imports during the period of review 

(POR). We intend to release the CBP 

data under Administrative Protective 

Order (APO) to all parties having an 

APO within five days of publication of 

this initiation notice and to make our 

decision regarding respondent selection 

within 20 days of publication of this 

Federal Register notice. The 

Department invites comments regarding 

the CBP data and respondent selection 

within 10 calendar days of publication 

of this Federal Register notice. 

Separate Rates 

In proceedings involving non-market 

economy (‘‘NME’’) countries, the 

Department begins with a rebuttable 

presumption that all companies within 

the country are subject to government 

control and, thus, should be assigned a 

single antidumping duty deposit rate. It 

is the Department’s policy to assign all 

exporters of merchandise subject to an 

administrative review in an NME 

country this single rate unless an 

exporter can demonstrate that it is 

sufficiently independent so as to be 

entitled to a separate rate. 

To establish whether a firm is 

sufficiently independent from 

government control of its export 

activities to be entitled to a separate 

rate, the Department analyzes each 

entity exporting the subject 

merchandise under a test arising from
