Background

    On August 6, 2004, the Department of Commerce (the Department) 
published in the Federal Register an antidumping duty order on floor 
standing, metal-top ironing tables and parts thereof from the People's 
Republic of China (PRC). See Notice of Amended Final Determination of 
Sales at Less Than Fair Value and Antidumping Duty Order: Floor-
Standing, Metal-Top Ironing Tables and Certain Parts Thereof From the 
People's Republic of China, 69 FR 47868 (August 6, 2004). The 
Department received timely requests from Since Hardware (Guangzhou) 
Co., Ltd. (Since Hardware) and Foshan Shunde Yongjian Housewares and 
Hardware Co., Ltd (Foshan Shunde), in accordance with 19 CFR 
351.213(b)(2), for an administrative review of the antidumping duty 
order on ironing tables and parts thereof from the PRC, which has an 
August annual anniversary month. Home Products International Inc., the 
petitioner, also requested, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(b)(1), an 
administrative review of the antidumping duty order on ironing tables 
and parts thereof from the PRC for Foshan Shunde and Since Hardware. On 
September 30, 2008, the Department initiated an administrative review 
with respect to Foshan Shunde and Since Hardware. See Initiation of 
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and Requests 
for Revocation in Part, 73 FR 56795 (September 30, 2008). On October 
29, 2008, pursuant to Since Hardware's September 2, 2008, request in 
accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(c), we deferred our initiation of the 
2007-2008 review with respect to Since Hardware. See Initiation of 
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and Deferral 
of Administrative Review, 73 FR 64305 (October 29, 2008).
    The deadline for completion of the preliminary results in the 
administrative review for Foshan Shunde is currently May 4, 2009.

Extension of Time Limits for Preliminary Results

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 
Act), and section 351.213(h)(1) of the Department's regulations require 
the Department to issue the preliminary results of an administrative 
review within 245 days after the last day of the anniversary month of 
the order or suspension agreement for which the administrative review 
was requested, and the final results of the review within 120 days 
after the date on which the notice of the preliminary results was 
published in the Federal Register.

However, if the Department determines that it is not practicable to 
complete the review within this time period, section 751(a)(3)(A) of 
the Act and section 351.213(h)(2) of the Department's regulations allow 
the Department to extend the 245-day period to 365 days and the 120-day 
period to 180 days.
    Pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and section 351.213(h) 
of the Department's regulations, we determine that it is not 
practicable to complete this administrative review within the statutory 
time limit of 245 days. The Department requires additional time to 
analyze the production inputs that Foshan Shunde utilized to compile 
its Section D factors of production response. Additionally, the 
Department requires additional time to consider comments from 
interested parties concerning the proper valuation of Foshan Shunde's 
production inputs. Therefore, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) 
of the Act and section 351.213(h)(2) of the Department's regulations, 
the Department is extending the time limit for the completion of these 
preliminary results by 120 days. The deadline for completion of the 
preliminary results is now September 1, 2009. The final results will 
continue to be due 120 days after the date of publication of the notice 
of preliminary results.
    This notice is published in accordance with sections 751(a)(3)(A) 
and 777(i) of the Act.

    Dated: April 24, 2009.
John M. Andersen,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Operations.
