SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
AGENCY:
Background
On October 23, 2013, the Department
of Commerce (the Department) initiated
the countervailing duty investigations of
monosodium glutamate from Indonesia
and the PRC.1 Currently, the
preliminary determinations are due no
later than December 27, 2013.

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 these
proceedings are cooperating, and that
the investigations are extraordinarily
complicated.2 Specifically, the
Department is investigating numerous
alleged subsidy programs in both
Indonesia and the PRC; these programs
include loans, grants, tax incentives,
and the provision of goods and services
for less than adequate remuneration.
Due to the number and complexity of
the alleged countervailable subsidy
practices being investigated, we
determine that these investigations are
extraordinarily complicated. Therefore,
in accordance with section 703(c)(1)(B)
of the Act, we are postponing the due
date for the preliminary determinations
to not later than 130 days after the day
on which the investigations were
initiated. Thus, the deadline for
completion of the preliminary
determinations is now March 2, 2014.
Because the deadline falls on a nonbusiness day, in accordance with the
Department’s practice, the deadline will
become the next business day, March 3,
2014.3
This notice is issued and published
pursuant to section 703(c)(2) of the Act
and 19 CFR 351.205(f)(1).
Dated: December 3, 2012.
