SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The Department of Commerce(``Department'') published an antidumping 
duty order on hand trucks and certain parts thereof (``hand trucks'') 
from the People's Republic of China (``PRC'') on December 2, 2004. See 
Notice of Antidumping Duty Order: Hand Trucks and Certain Parts Thereof 
From the People's Republic of China, 69 FR 70122 (December 2, 2004). On 
February 2, 2007, the Department published in the Federal Register a 
notice of the initiation of the antidumping duty administrative review 
of hand trucks from the PRC for the period December 1, 2005, through 
November 30, 2006. See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Administrative Reviews and Request for Revocation in Part, 72 FR 
5005 (February 2, 2007). On September 7, 2007, the Department published 
a notice to extend the issuance of the preliminary results of this 
administrative review by 90 days. See Hand Trucks and Certain Parts 
Thereof from the People's Republic of China: Extension of Time Limit 
for the Preliminary Results of the Antidumping Duty Administrative 
Review, 72 FR 51411 (September 7, 2007). The preliminary results of 
this review are currently due no later than December 1, 2007.

Extension of Time Limit of Preliminary Results.

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 
(``Act''), requires the Department to issue the preliminary results 
within 245 days after the last day of the anniversary month of an order 
for which a review is requested and the 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 245-day time period to a maximum of 365 days. Although we 
previously extended the 245-day period by 90 days for completion of the 
review, we have determined that completion of the preliminary results 
of this review within the extended 335-day period is not practicable 
because the Department needs additional time to analyze information 
pertaining to the respondents' sales practices, factors of production, 
and corporate relationships, to evaluate certain issues raised by the 
petitioners, and to issue and review responses to supplemental 
questionnaires.
    Because it is not practicable to complete this review within the 
extended 335-day time period, we are fully extending the time period 
for issuing the preliminary results of review by an additional 30 days 
until December 31, 2007, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the 
Act. The final results continue to be due 120 days after the 
publication of the preliminary results. This notice is published 
pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 C.F.R. 
351.213(h)(2).

    November 23, 2007.

Deputy Assistant Secretaryfor Import Administration.
