postponed, the Department would issue
its preliminary determinations no later

On October 30, 2009, Berwick Offray

(collectively, ‘‘Petitioner’’), made timely
requests, pursuant to section
773(b)(1)(A) of the Act, as amended, and
19 CFR 351.205(e), for a 50-day
postponement of the preliminary
determinations, in order to allow
additional time for the Department to:
(1) Fully investigate the mandatory
respondents in both the PRC and
Taiwan investigations and numerous
separate rate applications in the PRC
investigation; and (2) consider the
significant number of complex
transactions and adjustments in each
investigation, e.g., the substantial
number of raw material inputs and the
corresponding substantial amount of
surrogate value data to be developed in
the PRC investigation and the
complexity of the model matching in
the Taiwan investigation.2 Also,
Petitioner requested the postponement
as this is the first petition ever filed
involving the subject merchandise, and
given the variety and complexity of the
products involved, make this case in
combination with the aforementioned
reasons identified extraordinarily
complicated, therefore requiring
additional time to complete. Id. Because
there are no compelling reasons to deny
the requests, in accordance with section
733(c)(1)(A) of the Act, the Department
is postponing the deadline for the
aforementioned preliminary
determinations by 50 days.
An extension of 50 days from the
current deadline of December 16, 2009,
would result in a new deadline of
February 4, 2010. The deadline for the
final determinations will continue to be
