Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 208 / Monday, October 27, 2008 / Notices
after the date of the publication of the
preliminary determination if, in the
event of an affirmative determination, a
request for such postponement is made
by exporters who account for a
significant proportion of exports of the
subject merchandise, or in the event of
a negative preliminary determination, a
request for such postponement is made
by petitioner. In addition, section
351.210(e)(2) of the Department’s
regulations require that requests by
respondents for postponement of a final
determination be accompanied by a
request for extension of provisional
measures from a four month period to
not more than six months.
On October 8, 2008, Ningbo Yinzhou
Foreign Trade Co., Ltd., one of the two
mandatory respondents, requested a 60–
day extension of the final determination
and extension of the provisional
measures. Thus, because our amended
preliminary determination is
affirmative, and the respondent
requesting a postponement of the final
determination and an extension of the
provisional measures, accounts for a
significant proportion of exports of steel
threaded rod, and no compelling
reasons for denial exist, we are
postponing the deadline for the final
determination by 60 days until February
20, 2009, based on the publication date
of the Preliminary Determination.
International Trade Commission
Notification
mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES
In accordance with section 733(f) of
the Act, we have notified the
International Trade Commission (‘‘ITC’’)
of our amended preliminary
determination. If our final
determination is affirmative, the ITC
will make its final determination as to
whether the domestic industry in the
United States is materially injured, or
threatened with material injury, by
reason of imports of steel threaded rod,
or sales (or the likelihood of sales) for
importation, of the merchandise under
investigation, within 45 days of our
final determination.
This determination is issued and
published in accordance with sections
733(f), 735(a)(2), and 777(i) of the Act
and sections 351.210(g) and 351.224(e)
of the Department’s regulations.
Dated: October 20, 2008.

Acting Assistant Secretary for Import
