Background
On June 23, 2009, the Department of
Commerce (‘‘Department’’) published
the initiation of the investigation of
prestressed concrete steel wire strand
(‘‘PC Strand’’) from the People’s
Republic of China (‘‘PRC’’), covering the
period of October 1, 2008, through
March 31, 2009.1 On July 28, 2009, the
Department selected two companies as
mandatory respondents for this
investigation: Tianjin Shengte PC Steel
Strand Co., (‘‘Tianjin Shengte’’) and
Silvery Dragon PC Steel Products
(‘‘Silvery Dragon’’).2
On August 7, 2009, the Department
received a letter from Silvery Dragon
stating that the company would no
longer be participating in the
investigation. Tianjin Shengte failed to
properly file a response to the
Department’s questionnaire in a timely
manner. Since the two originally
selected mandatory respondents no
longer participated, the Department
determined that it was appropriate in
this case to replace them with two new
additional respondents. On August 14,
2009, the Department selected Jiangxi
Xinhua Metal Products Co. as a
mandatory respondent,3 and on

September 11, 2009, the Department
selected Wuxi Jingyang Metal Products
Co. as a voluntary respondent.4 The
preliminary determination of this
antidumping duty investigation is
currently due on November 3, 2009.
DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
Statutory Time Limits
Pursuant to section 733(c)(1)(B) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘the
Act’’), the Department can extend the
period for a preliminary determination
until not later than 190 days after the
date on which the administrative
authority initiates an investigation if the
Department concludes that the parties
concerned are cooperating and
determines that:
Atlantic Highly Migratory Species;
Advisory Panel
The case is extraordinarily complicated by
the reason of (I) The number and complexity
of the transactions to be investigated or
adjustments to be considered, (II) the novelty
of the issues presented, or (III) the number of
firms whose activities must be investigated,
and (ii) additional time is necessary to make
the preliminary determination.
Extension of Time Limit of Preliminary
Determination
Because the Department replaced both
of the originally selected mandatory
respondents in this investigation,
thereby making it extraordinarily
complicated to properly prepare a
preliminary determination within the
original statutory timeframe, the
Department finds it necessary to extend
the current preliminary determination
deadline. Moreover, on October 6, 2009,
Petitioners 5 made a timely request
pursuant to 733(c)(1)(B)(i) of the Act for
a thirty-day postponement of the
preliminary determination.
Therefore, for the reasons identified
above, we are postponing the
preliminary determination under
section 733(c)(1)(B) of the Act by thirty
days from November 3, 2009, to
December 3, 2009.
This notice is published pursuant to
sections 733(c)(2) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.205(f)(1).
