Wooden Bedroom Furniture From the People's Republic of China: 
Extension of the Time Limit for the Preliminary Results of the 
Antidumping Duty Administrative Review

AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.

DATES: September 15, 2010.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jeff Pedersen, AD/CVD Operations, 
Import Administration, International Trade Administration, U.S. 
Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue, NW., 
Washington, DC 20230, telephone: (202) 482-2769.

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.
Susan H. Kuhbach,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary, for Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Operations.
