The petitioner requested postponement of the preliminary determination due to the complexity of the investigation. For the reasons identified by the petitioner and because there are no compelling reasons to deny the request, the Department is postponing the deadline for the preliminary determination under section 773(c)(1)(A) of the Act by 50 days.
