FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jeff Pedersen or David Edmiston, AD/
CVD Operations, Import Administration, International Trade

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On February 26, 2009, 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 
Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 74 FR 8776 (February 26, 2009). 
The period of review is January 1, 2008, through December 31, 2008. The 
preliminary results of the administrative review are currently due no 
later than October 5, 2009.

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, to 
issue and review responses to supplemental questionnaires, and then 
verify the submitted information. 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 February 1, 2010, the first business day 
after the fully extended due date of January 31, 2010. 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.

    Dated: September 14, 2009.
John M. Andersen,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Operations.
