SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The Department of Commerce (``the Department'') published an 
antidumping duty order on wooden bedroom furniture (``WBF'') from the 
People's Republic of China (``PRC'') on January 4, 2005. See Notice of 
Amended Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value and 
Antidumping Duty Order: Wooden Bedroom Furniture From the People's 
Republic of China, 70 FR 329 (January 4, 2005). On March 7, 2006, the 
Department published in the Federal Register a notice of the initiation 
of the antidumping duty administrative review of WBF from the PRC and 
new shipper reviews for the period June 24, 2004, through December 31, 
2005. See Initiation of Administrative Review of Antidumping Duty Order 
on Wooden Bedroom Furniture from the People's Republic of China, 71 FR 
11394 (March 7, 2006) and Wooden Bedroom Furniture from the People's 
Republic of China: Initiation of New Shipper Reviews, 71 FR 11404 
(March 7, 2006) (``Initiation of Second Annual New Shipper Reviews''). 
On August 24, 2006, the Department aligned the deadlines and the time 
limits of the new shipper reviews of WBF with the 2004-2005 
administrative review of WBF. See Memorandum to the File from Lilit 
Astvatsatrian, Case Analyst, through Wendy Frankel, Office Director, 
dated August 24, 2006. On February 9, 2007, the Department published in 
the Federal Register the preliminary results of the first 
administrative review and the new shipper reviews. See Wooden Bedroom 
Furniture from the People's Republic of China: Preliminary Results of 
Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, Preliminary Results of New 
Shipper Reviews and Notice of Partial Rescission, 72 FR 6201 (February 
9, 2007). The final results of review are currently due no later than 
June 9, 2007.

Extension of Time Limit of Final Results

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the 
Act''), requires the Department to issue final results within 120 days 
after the date on which the preliminary results are published. However, 
if it is not practicable to complete the review within this time 
period, section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows the Department to extend 
the time period to a maximum of 180 days. Completion of the final 
results of the administrative review within the 120-day period is not 
practicable because the Department conducted verification in the 
administrative review after publication of the preliminary results, 
and, therefore, needs additional time to complete post-preliminary 
results verification reports, invite and analyze comments by interested 
parties on the preliminary results and verification reports, and 
analyze information gathered at verification.
    Because it is not practicable to complete this review within the 
time specified under the Act, we are extending the time period for 
issuing the final results of the administrative and new shipper reviews 
to 180 days, until August 8, 2007, in accordance with section 
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act. This notice is published pursuant to sections 
751(a) and 777(i) of the Act.

    Dated: June 5, 2007.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretaryfor Import Administration.
