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). On July 10, 2006, the Department 
published the preliminary results. See Folding Metal Tables and Chairs 
from the People's Republic of China: Preliminary Results of Antidumping 
Duty Administrative Review, 71 FR 38852 (July 10, 2006). This review 
covers the period June 1, 2004, through May 31, 2005. The final results 
are currently due by November 7, 2006.

Extension of Time Limit for Final 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 final determination 
in an administrative review of an antidumping duty order within 120 
days after the date on which the preliminary determination is 
published. The Act further provides, however, that the Department may 
extend that 120-day period to 180 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 
final results of the administrative review of folding metal tables and 
chairs from the PRC within the 120-day period due to complex issues the 
parties have raised regarding the proper treatment of certain U.S. 
transactions. Therefore, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the 
Act, the Department is extending the time period for completion of the 
final results of this review to 144 days until December 1, 2006.
    This notice is published in accordance with sections 751(a)(3)(A) 
and 777(i) of the Act.

    Dated: November 3, 2006.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
