SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On March 5, 2010, the Department of Commerce (``Department'') 
published a notice of initiation of new shipper reviews of the 
antidumping duty order on wooden bedroom furniture from the People's 
Republic of China. See Wooden Bedroom Furniture from the People's 
Republic of China: Initiation of Antidumping Duty New Shipper Reviews, 
75 FR 10214 (March 5, 2010). The period of the reviews is January 1, 
2009, through December 31, 2009. The

preliminary results of the new shipper reviews are currently due no 
later than August 28, 2010.

Extension of Time Limits for Preliminary Results

    Section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 
(``Act''), and 19 CFR 351.214(i)(1) require the Department to issue the 
preliminary results in a new shipper review of an antidumping duty 
order 180 days after the date on which the review is initiated. The 
Department may, however, extend the deadline for completion of the 
preliminary results of a new shipper review to 300 days if it 
determines that the case is extraordinarily complicated. See section 
751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.214(i)(2).
    The Department finds that these new shipper reviews are 
extraordinarily complicated and, therefore, it requires additional time 
to complete the preliminary results. Specifically, the Department 
requires additional time to examine surrogate value information in 
these reviews. The Department's ability to examine this information has 
been limited because of the considerable resources required to complete 
the final results of the recent administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order on wooden bedroom furniture from the People's 
Republic of China. Accordingly, we are extending the time for the 
completion of the final results of these reviews by 120 days, until 
December 26, 2010. However, December 26, 2010, falls on a Sunday, and 
it is the Department's long-standing practice to issue a determination 
on the next business day when the statutory deadline falls on a 
weekend. See Notice of Clarification: Application of ``Next Business 
Day'' Rule for Administrative Determination Deadlines Pursuant to the 
Tariff Act of 1930, As Amended, 70 FR 24533 (May 10, 2005). 
Accordingly, the deadline for completion of the final results of these 
reviews is now no later than December 27, 2010.
    This notice is published in accordance with section 
751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.214(i)(2).

    Date: August 23, 2010.
Edward C. Yang,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Operations.
