Background

    On July 6, 2006, the Department of Commerce (``the Department'') 
published the preliminary results of the new shipper reviews of the 
antidumping duty order on wooden bedroom furniture (``WBF'') from the 
People's Republic of China (``PRC''), covering the period June 24, 
2004, through June 30, 2005, and the following exporters: Shenyang 
Kunyu Wood Industry Co., Ltd., Dongguan Landmark Furniture Products 
Ltd., Meikangchi (Nantong) Furniture Company Ltd, and WBE Industries 
(Hui-Yang) Co., Ltd. See Wooden Bedroom Furniture from the People's 
Republic of China: Preliminary Results of 2004-2005 Semi-Annual New 
Shipper Reviews and Notice of Final Rescission of One New Shipper 
Review, 71 FR 38373 (July 6, 2006) (``Preliminary Results''). The final 
results are currently due on September 25, 2006.

Extension of Time Limits for Final Results

    Section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 
(``the Act''),

[[Page 56476]]

and 19 CFR 351.214(i)(1) require the Department to issue the final 
results of a new shipper review within 90 days after the date on which 
the preliminary results were issued. The Department may, however, 
extend the deadline for completion of the final results of a new 
shipper review to 150 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).
    As a result of extraordinarily complicated issues raised in the 
review segment, specifically the multiple issues raised with regard to 
the calculation of the surrogate financial ratios based on the 
financial statements of seven surrogate companies, it is not 
practicable to complete these new shipper reviews within the current 
time limit. Accordingly, the Department is extending the time limit for 
the completion of the final results by 45 days until November 9, 2006, 
in accordance with section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act and 19 CFR 
351.214(i)(2).
    We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with 
section 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: September 20, 2006.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
