Postponement of Preliminary Determinations

    The Department of Commerce (the Department) is postponing the

Folding Metal Tables and Chairs from the People's Republic of China. 
The deadline for issuing the preliminary determination in this

    On October 4, 2001, the Department published a notice in the

    On October 23, 2001, the petitioner, Meco Corporation, requested an 
additional twenty-day postponement of the preliminary determination, in 
accordance with Sec. 351.205(b) of the Department's regulations, to 
allow sufficient time to submit comments on the respondents'

reason to deny the request, the Department is postponing the deadline
