SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March 

4, 2010, the Department of Commerce 

(‘‘Department’’) published a notice of 

initiation of an administrative review of 

the antidumping duty order on wooden 

bedroom furniture from the People’s 

Republic of China. See Initiation of 

Administrative Review of the 

Antidumping Duty Order on Wooden 

Bedroom Furniture From the People’s 

Republic of China, 75 FR 9869 (March 

4, 2010). The period of review is January 

1, 2009, through December 31, 2009. 

The preliminary results of the 

administrative review are currently due 

no later than October 4, 2010. 

Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary 

Results 

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

Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 

‘‘Act’’), the Department shall make a 

preliminary determination in an 

administrative review of an 

antidumping duty order within 245 

days after the last day of the anniversary 

month of the date of publication of the 

order. 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 

time period to a maximum of 365 days. 

Completion of the preliminary results of 

this review within the 245-day period is 

not practicable because the Department 

needs additional time to analyze 

information pertaining to the 

respondents’ sales practices, factors of 

production, and corporate relationships, 

and to issue and review responses to 

supplemental questionnaires. Therefore, 

in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) 

of the Act, the Department is fully 

extending the time period for 

completing the preliminary results of 

the instant administrative review until 

January 30, 2011. However, January 30, 

2011, falls on a Sunday, and it is the 

Department’s long-standing practice to 

issue a determination on the next 

business day when the statutory 

deadline falls on a weekend. 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 deadline for completion of the 

preliminary results of the review is now 

no later than January 31, 2011. The final 

results continue to be due 120 days after 

the publication of the preliminary 

results. 

This notice is published pursuant to 

sections 751(a) and 777(i) of the Act. 

September 9, 2010.
