(December 9, 2013).

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, the 
Department may postpone making the preliminary determination until no 
later than 130 days after the date on which the administering authority 
initiated the investigation if the petitioner makes a timely request 
for an extension pursuant to section 703(c)(1)(A) of the Act. In the 
instant investigation, the petitioner made a timely request on January 
7, 2014, requesting a postponement of the preliminary determination 
pursuant to 19 CFR 351.205(b)(2).\2\ Therefore, pursuant to the 
discretion afforded 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 fully postponing the due date until 130 days 
after the Department's initiation for the preliminary determination. 
Therefore, the deadline for the completion of the preliminary 
determination is now April 11, 2014.
