Paul Stolz, AD/CVD Operations, Office 8, Import Administration, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482-4474.
Background
The Department of Commerce ("Department") published an antidumping duty order on hand trucks and certain parts thereof ("hand trucks") from the People's Republic of China ("PRC") on December 2, 2004. See Notice of Antidumping Duty Order: Hand Trucks and Certain Parts Thereof From the People's Republic of China , 69 FR 70122 (December 2, 2004). On February 2, 2007, the Department published in the Federal Register a notice of the initiation of the antidumping duty administrative review of hand trucks from the PRC for the period December 1, 2005, through November 30, 2006. See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and Request for Revocation in Part , 72 FR 5005 (February 2, 2007). On January 14, 2008, the Department published in the Federal Register the preliminary results of the hand trucks administrative review. See Hand Trucks and Certain Parts Thereof from the People's Republic of China: Preliminary Results, Partial Intent to Rescind and Partial Rescission of the 2005-06 Administrative Review , 73 FR 2214 (January 14, 2008). The final results of review are currently due no later than May 13, 2008.
Extension of Time Limit of Final Results.
Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended ("the Act"), requires the Department to issue final results within 120 days after the date on which the preliminary results are published. However, if it is not practicable to complete the review within this time period, section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows the Department to extend the time period to a maximum of 180 days. Completion of the final results of the administrative review within the 120-day period in this case is not practicable because the Department conducted verification in the administrative review after publication of the preliminary results, and, therefore, needs additional time to complete post-preliminary results verification reports, invite and analyze comments by interested parties on the preliminary results and verification reports, and analyze information gathered at verification.
Because it is not practicable to complete this review within the time specified under the Act, we are fully extending the time period for issuing the final results of the administrative review in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act. Therefore, the final results are now due no later than July 14, 2008, the next business day after 180 days from publication of the preliminary results. This notice is published pursuant to sections 751(a) and 777(i) of the Act.
Dated: May 9, 2008.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
