Background

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 January 14, 
2008, the Department published in the Federal Register the preliminary 
results of the hand trucks administrative review. See Hand Trucks and 
Certain Parts Thereof from the People's Republic of China: Preliminary 
Results, Partial Intent to Rescind and Partial Rescission of the 2005-
06 Administrative Review, 73 FR 2214 (January 14, 2008). The final 
results of review are currently due no later than May 13, 2008.

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 in this 
case 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 fully extending the time period 
for issuing the final results of the administrative review in 
accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act. Therefore, the final 
results are now due no later than July 14, 2008, the next business day 
after 180 days from publication of the preliminary results. This notice 
is published pursuant to sections 751(a) and 777(i) of the Act.

    Dated: May 9, 2008.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
