Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On October 31, 2011, the Department of Commerce (``the 
Department'') published notice of initiation of the administrative 
review of the countervailing duty order on certain kitchen appliance 
shelving and racks from the People's Republic of China, covering the 
review period January 1, 2010, through December 31, 2010. See 
Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative 
Reviews, 76 FR 67133, 67141 (October 31, 2011).
    The current deadline for the preliminary results of this 
administrative review is June 1, 2012.

Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the 
Act''), requires the Department to issue the preliminary results of an 
administrative review within 245 days after the last day of the 
anniversary month of an order for which a review is requested and the 
final results of review within 120 days after the date on which the 
preliminary results are published. If it is not practicable to complete 
the review within the time period, section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act 
allows the Department to extend these deadlines to a maximum of 365 
days and 180 days, respectively.
    We require additional time to adequately analyze all questionnaire 
responses and to solicit and receive supplemental information before 
the current preliminary results due date. Consequently, we have 
determined that it is not practicable to complete the preliminary 
results of this review within the original time limit (i.e., by June 1, 
2012). Therefore, the Department is extending the time limit for 
completion of the preliminary results by 120 days to not later than 
September 29, 2012, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act 
and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2). Department practice dictates that, where a 
deadline falls on a weekend or federal holiday, the appropriate 
deadline is the next business day. 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). Because September 29, 2012, is a Saturday, 
the Department will therefore issue the preliminary results in this 
administrative review no later than October 1, 2012.
    We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(3)(A) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: May 1, 2012.
Christian Marsh,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
