SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On July 29, 2010, the Department of Commerce (``the Department'') 
published the initiation of the new shipper review of the antidumping 
duty order on folding metal tables and chairs from the People's 
Republic of China (``PRC''). See Folding Metal Tables and Chairs: 
Initiation of New Shipper Review, 75 FR 44767 (July 29, 2010). This 
review covers the period June 1, 2009, through May 31, 2010. The 
preliminary results of review are currently due no later than January 
19, 2011.

Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results of Review

    Section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 
(``the Act''), and 19 CFR 351.214(i)(l) require the Department to issue 
the preliminary results of a new shipper review within 180 days after 
the date on which the new shipper review was initiated. The Department 
may, however, extend the 180-day period for completion of the 
preliminary results of a new shipper review to 300 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).
    The Department finds that this case is extraordinarily complicated. 
Specifically, this case is extraordinarily complicated due to issues 
involving the universe of sales under review, affiliation, and 
surrogate country selection and valuation of factors of production. 
Therefore, in accordance with section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act, the 
Department is extending the time period for completion of the 
preliminary results of this review, which is currently due on January 
19, 2011, by 60 days. Therefore, the preliminary results are now due no 
later than March 20, 2011. However, because March 20, 2011, falls on a 
weekend, the actual due date will be the first business day following 
the weekend, i.e., March 21, 2011. The final results continue to be due 
90 days after the publication of the preliminary results.
    This notice is published in accordance with sections 
751(a)(2)(B)(iv) and 777(i) of the Act.

    Dated: December 28, 2010.
Gary Taverman,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Operations.
