Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 27 / Monday, February 10, 2014 / Notices
(hereinafter referred to as ‘‘Petitioners’’)
made a timely request for a 50-day
postponement of the preliminary
determination in this investigation,
pursuant to section 733(c)(1)(A) of the
Act and 19 CFR 351.205(e).4 Petitioners
noted in their request that they require
additional time to analyze and comment
upon the questionnaire responses of the
mandatory respondents in this
investigation.
The Department has found no
compelling reason to deny the request
and, therefore, in accordance with
section 733(c)(1)(A) of the Act, the
Department is postponing the deadline
for the preliminary determination to no
later than 206 days after the date on
which it initiated this investigation (the
original 140-day period plus the 16 days
tolled for the shutdown of the Federal
Government and a 50 day
postponement). Therefore, the new
deadline for issuing the preliminary
determination is April 14, 2014.5 In
accordance with section 735(a)(1) of the
Act, the deadline for the final
determination of this investigation will
continue to be 75 days after the date of
the preliminary determination, unless
postponed at a later date.
This notice is issued and published
pursuant to section 733(c)(2) of the Act
and 19 CFR 351.205(f)(1).
International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: On October 1, 2013, the
Department of Commerce (the
Department) initiated the first five-year
(sunset) review of the antidumping duty
(AD) order on lightweight thermal paper
from Germany pursuant to section
751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (the Act).1 On the basis of
adequate substantive responses
submitted by domestic and respondent
interested parties, the Department is
conducting a full sunset review of this
AD order pursuant to section 751(c) of
the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(e)(2). As a
result of our analysis, the Department
preliminarily finds that revocation of
the AD order would likely lead to
continuation or recurrence of dumping
at the levels indicated in the
‘‘Preliminary Results of Review’’ section
of this notice. Interested parties are
invited to comment on these
preliminary results.
DATES: Effective February 10, 2014.
