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 March 23, 2012). 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 Sunday (i.e., May 27, 2012) and is followed by a federal holiday on Monday, May 28, 2012, the deadline for completion of the preliminary determination is now Tuesday, May 29, 2012, the next business day.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On January 18, 2012, the Department of Commerce (the Department) 
initiated the countervailing duty investigation of steel wire garment 
hangers from the Socialist Republic of Vietnam. See Steel Wire Garment 
Hangers from the Socialist Republic of Vietnam: Initiation of 
Countervailing Duty Investigation, 77 FR 3737 (January 25, 2012). 
Currently, the preliminary determination is due no later than March 23, 
2012.

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 March 23, 2012). 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 Sunday (i.e., May 27, 2012) and is followed by a federal 
holiday on Monday, May 28, 2012, the deadline for completion of the 
preliminary determination is now Tuesday, May 29, 2012, the next 
business day.
    This notice is issued and published pursuant to section 703(c)(2) 
of the Act.

    Dated: March 2, 2012.

Acting Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
