SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On July 21, 2005, the Department of Commerce (``the Department'') 
published the initiation of the administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order on folding metal tables and chairs from the 
People's Republic of China (``PRC''). See Initiation of Antidumping and 
Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and Request for Revocation 
in Part, 70 FR 42028 (July 21, 2005). This review covers the period 
June 1, 2004, through May 31, 2005. The preliminary results of review 
are currently due no later than March 2, 2006.

Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results of Review

    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. The Act further provides, however, that 
the Department may extend that 245-day period to 365 days if it 
determines it is not practicable to complete the review within the 
foregoing time period.
    The Department finds that it is not practicable to complete the 
preliminary results of the administrative review of folding metal 
tables and chairs from the PRC within this time limit. Specifically, 
due to complex issues related to the proper treatment of zero-priced 
transactions, we find that additional time is needed to complete these 
preliminary results. Therefore, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) 
of the Act, the Department is extending the time period for completion 
of the preliminary results of this review by 120 days until June 30, 
2006.
    This notice is published in accordance with sections 751(a)(3)(A) 
and 777(i) of the Act.

    Dated: February 22, 2006.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
