Background
On November 8, 2011, the Department
of Commerce (the Department) initiated
the countervailing duty investigation of
crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells,
whether or not assembled into modules,
from the People’s Republic of China.1
Currently, the preliminary
determination is due no later than
January 12, 2012.
VerDate Mar<15>2010
preliminary determination until no later
than 130 days after the date on which
it initiated the investigation if, among
other reasons, the petitioner makes a
timely request for an extension. In the
instant investigation, the petitioner,
SolarWorld Industries America, Inc.,
made a timely request on December 16,
2011, requesting a postponement of the
preliminary countervailing duty
determination to 95 days from the
initiation date.2
The Department notes that 95 days
from the initiation date is February 11,
2012. February 11, 2012 falls on a
Saturday, and it is the Department’s
long-standing practice to issue a
determination the next business day
when the statutory deadline falls on a
weekend, federal holiday, or any other
day when the Department is closed.3
Therefore, pursuant to the discretion
afforded to the Department under
section 703(c)(1)(A) of the Act, and
because the Department does not find
any compelling reason to deny the
request, we are extending the due date
for the preliminary determination to no
later than February 13, 2012, the first
business day after the 95th day from
initiation.
This notice is issued and published
pursuant to section 703(c)(2) of the Act
and 19 CFR 351.205(f)(1).
