SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On September 9, 2008, the Department of Commerce (``the 
Department'') published in the Federal Register a notice of initiation 
of a new shipper review for shipments of wooden bedroom furniture from 
the People's Republic of China (``PRC'') produced and exported by 
Shanghai Fangjia Industry Co., Ltd. (``Shanghai Fangjia''). See Wooden 
Bedroom Furniture From the People's Republic of China: Initiation of 
New Shipper Review, 73 FR 52296 (September 9, 2008). The preliminary 
results of review are currently due no later than February 23, 2009.

Statutory Time Limits

    Section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 
(``the Act''), provides that the Department will issue the preliminary 
results of a new shipper review of an antidumping duty order within 180 
days after the day on which the review was initiated. See also 19 CFR 
351.214(i)(1). The Act further provides that the Department may extend 
that 180-day period to 300 days if it determines that the case is 
extraordinarily complicated. See section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) and 19 CFR 
351.214 (i)(2).

Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results

    The Department determines that this new shipper review involves 
extraordinarily complicated methodological issues, pertaining to the 
calculation of factors of production and the evaluation of the bona 
fide nature of Shanghai Fangjia's sales. Therefore, in accordance with 
section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.214(i)(2), the 
Department is extending the time limit for these preliminary results by 
120 days, until no later than June 22, 2009. The final results continue 
to be due 90 days after the publication of the preliminary results.
    We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) and 777(i) of the Act.
