SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On July 30, 2008, 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, Request for Revocation in 
Part, and Deferral of Administrative Review, 73 FR 44220 (July 30, 
2008). On July 7, 2009, 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, 74 FR 32118 (July 7, 2009). This review covers 
the period June 1, 2007, through May 31, 2008.

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 are published. The Act 
further provides 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.
    On November 4, 2009, the Department published a notice extending 
the time limit until December 4, 2009, for the final results of this 
administrative review. See Folding Metal Tables and Chairs from the 
People's Republic of

China: Extension of Time Limit for the Final Results of Antidumping 
Duty Administrative Review, 74 FR 57146 (November 4, 2009).
    The Department now 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 current deadline due to complex issues 
the parties have raised related to surrogate financial statements and 
market-economy purchases. 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 by 14 days the 
time period for completion of the final results of this review. This 
extension makes these final results due 164 days after the date on 
which the preliminary results were published, i.e., December 18, 2009.
    This notice is published in accordance with sections 751(a)(3)(A) 
and 777(i) of the Act.

    Dated: December 3, 2009.
John M. Andersen,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Operations.
