SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On August 6, 2004, the Department of Commerce (the Department) 
published in the Federal Register an antidumping duty order regarding 
floor standing, metal-top ironing tables and parts thereof from the 
People's Republic of China (PRC). See Notice of Amended Final 
Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value and Antidumping Duty 
Order: Floor-Standing, Metal-Top Ironing Tables and Certain Parts 
Thereof From the People's Republic of China, 69 FR 47868 (August 6, 
2004). The Department received timely requests from Since Hardware 
(Guangzhou) Co., Ltd. (Since Hardware), Shunde Yongjian Housewares Co., 
Ltd. (Shunde Yongjiang), and Forever Holdings Ltd. (Forever Holdings), 
in

[[Page 42628]]

accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(b)(2), for an administrative review of 
the antidumping duty order on ironing tables and parts thereof from the 
PRC, which has an August annual anniversary month. On September 20, 
2005, the Department initiated a review with respect to Since Hardware, 
Shunde Yongjiang, and Forever Holdings. See Initiation of Antidumping 
and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and Request for 
Revocation in Part, 70 FR 56631 (September 28, 2005).
    On April 19, 2006, in accordance with 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff 
Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2), the 
Department extended the deadline for the preliminary results of review 
until August 4, 2006. See Floor-Standing, Metal-Top Ironing Tables and 
Parts Thereof from the People's Republic of China: Extension of Time 
Limit for Preliminary Results of the First Administrative Review, 71 FR 
20076 (April 19, 2006).

Additional Extension of Time Limits for the Preliminary Results

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(1) require 
the Department to issue the preliminary results of an administrative 
review within 245 days after the last day of the anniversary month of 
the order or suspension agreement for which the administrative review 
was requested, and the final results of the review within 120 days 
after the date on which the notice of the preliminary results was 
published in the Federal Register. However, if the Department 
determines that it is not practicable to complete the review within 
this time period, section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 
351.213(h)(2) allow the Department to extend the 245-day period to 365 
days and the 120-day period to 180 days.
    Pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h), 
we determine that it is not practicable to complete this administrative 
review within the statutory time limit of 245 days. The Department 
requires additional time to analyze outstanding supplemental 
questionnaire responses for both Since Hardware and Shunde Yongjian 
regarding their factors of production and time to issue additional 
supplemental questionnaires, if necessary. Therefore, in accordance 
with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2), the 
Department is fully extending the time limit for the completion of 
these preliminary results by an additional 27 days to August 31, 2006. 
The final results, in turn, will be due 120 days after the date of 
issuance of the preliminary results, unless extended.
    This notice is issued and published in accordance with section 
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.

    Dated: July 18, 2006.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
