of small and emerging private
businesses in rural areas. This purpose
is achieved through grants made by RBS
to public bodies and nonprofit
corporations. Television Demonstration
grants are available to private nonprofit
public television systems to provide
information on agriculture and other

program decisions, and effectively
monitor the grantees’ activities to
protect the Government’s financial
interest and ensure that funds obtained
from the Government are used
appropriately. It includes information to
determine eligibility; the specific
purpose for which grant funds will be
used; timeframes; who will be carrying
out the grant purposes; project priority;
applicant experience; employment
improvement; and mitigation of
economic distress.
Estimate of Burden: Public reporting
burden for this collection of information
is estimated to average 2.5 hours per
response.
Respondents: Nonprofit corporations
and public bodies.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
720.

Background
On June 23, 2009, the Department of
Commerce (‘‘Department’’) published in
the Federal Register 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 14,
2009, the Department selected Jiangxi
Xinhua Metal Products Co. (‘‘Xinhua
Metal’’) as a new mandatory respondent,
to replace Silvery Dragon, who had
indicated that they would not
participate in this investigation.3
Subsequent to that, Silvery Dragon
failed to respond to a supplemental
questionnaire and the Department
selected Wuxi Jinyang Metal Products
Co., Ltd. (‘‘WJMP’’) as a voluntary
respondent.4

On November 16, 2009, Petitioners5
requested a fourteen–day postponement
of the preliminary determination
pursuant to 733(c)(1)(B)(i) of the Tariff
Act of 1930, as amended, (‘‘the Act’’).
The preliminary determination of this
antidumping duty investigation is
currently due on December 3, 2009.
Statutory Time Limits
Pursuant to section 733(c)(1)(B) of 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:
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
Although the respondent6 and a
separate rates applicant are cooperating,
the Department intends to issue
additional supplemental questionnaires
addressing certain adjustments that
impact factors of production and the
U.S. sales data that may need to be
considered, thereby making it
extraordinarily complicated because of
the complexity of the adjustments to be
considered. Therefore, the Department
finds it necessary to extend the current
preliminary determination deadline
pursuant to section 733(c)(1)(B)(i)(I) of
the Act. In addition, as noted above,
Petitioners requested a postponement of
the preliminary determination on
November 16, 2009.
Therefore, for the reasons identified
above, and pursuant to section
733(c)(1)(B)(i)(I) we are postponing the
preliminary determination under
section 733(c)(1) of the Act by fourteen
days from December 3, 2009, to
December 17, 2009.
This notice is published pursuant to
sections 733(c)(2) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.205(f)(1).
