SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On July 26, 2007, the Department of Commerce (``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, 72 FR 41057 (July 26, 2007). On July 14, 2008, the Department 
published the preliminary results of review. See Folding Metal Tables 
and Chairs from the People's Republic of China: Preliminary Results of 
Antidumping Duty Administrative Review and Intent to Revoke in Part, 73 
FR 40285 (July 14, 2008). This review covers the period June 1, 2006, 
through May 31, 2007.

Extension of Time Limit for Final Results of Review

    Pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 
amended (``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 results is published. The Act 
further provides, however, that the Department may extend that 120-day 
period to 180 days after the preliminary results 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 time limit due to complex issues 
the parties have raised related to revocation and surrogate financial 
statements. We find that additional time is needed to complete these 
final results. 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, which is currently due on November 
11, 2008, by 30 days to 150 days after the date on which the 
preliminary results was published. Therefore, the final results are now 
due no later than December 11, 2008.
    This notice is published in accordance with sections 751(a)(3)(A) 
and 777(i) of the Act.

    Dated: November 4, 2008.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
