SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On April 19, 2011, the Department of Commerce (the Department) 
initiated the countervailing duty investigation of certain steel wheels 
from the People's Republic of China. See Certain Steel Wheels From the 
People's Republic of China: Initiation of Countervailing Duty 
Investigation, 76 FR 23302 (April 26, 2011). Currently, the preliminary 
determination is due no later than June 23, 2011.

Postponement of Due Date for Preliminary Determination

    Section 703(b)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), 
requires the Department to issue the preliminary determination in a 
countervailing duty investigation within 65 days after the date on 
which the Department initiated the investigation. However, if the 
Department concludes that the parties concerned in the investigation 
are cooperating and determines that the investigation is 
extraordinarily complicated, section 703(c)(1)(B) of the Act allows the 
Department to postpone making the preliminary determination until no 
later than 130 days after the date on which the administering authority 
initiated the investigation.
    The Department has determined that the parties involved in the 
proceeding are cooperating and that the investigation is 
extraordinarily complicated. See section 703(c)(1)(B) of the Act. 
Specifically, the Department is currently investigating alleged subsidy 
programs involving loans, grants, income tax incentives, and the 
provision of goods or services for less than adequate remuneration. Due 
to the number and complexity of the alleged countervailable subsidy 
practices being investigated, it is not practicable to complete the 
preliminary determination of this investigation within the original 
time limit (i.e., by June 23, 2011). Therefore, in accordance with 
section 703(c)(1)(B) of the Act, we are fully extending the due date 
for the preliminary determination to no later than 130 days after the 
day on which the investigation was initiated. However, as that date 
falls on a Saturday (i.e., August 27, 2011), the deadline for 
completion of the preliminary determination is now Monday, August 29, 
2011, the next business day.
    This notice is issued and published pursuant to section 703(c)(2) 
of the Act.

    Dated: June 1, 2011.
