Appendix 2 International Trade Administration Appendix 1 7 See at least 10% available chlorine measured by actual weight. The scope also includes bleaching powder and hemibasic calcium hypochlorite. Calcium hypochlorite has the general chemical formulation Ca(OCl)2, but may also be sold in a more dilute form as bleaching powder with the chemical formulation, Ca(OCl)2.CaCl2.Ca(OH)2.2H2O or hemibasic calcium hypochlorite with the chemical formula of 2Ca(OCl)2.Ca(OH)2 or Ca(OCl)2.0.5Ca(OH)2. Calcium hypochlorite has a Chemical Abstract Service (‘‘CAS’’) registry number of 7778–54–3, and a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (‘‘EPA) Pesticide Code (‘‘PC’’) Number of 014701. The subject calcium hypochlorite has an International Maritime Dangerous Goods (‘‘IMDG’’) code of Class 5.1 UN 1748, 2880, or 2208 or Class 5.1/8 UN 3485, 3486, or 3487. Calcium hypochlorite is currently classifiable under the subheading 2828.10.0000 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (‘‘HTSUS’’). The subheading covers commercial calcium hypochlorite and other calcium hypochlorite. When tableted or blended with other materials, calcium hypochlorite may be entered under other tariff classifications, such as 3808.94.5000 and 3808.99.9500, which cover disinfectants and similar products. While the HTSUS subheadings, the CAS registry number, the U.S. EPA PC number, and the IMDG codes are provided for convenience and customs purposes, the written description of the scope of this investigation is dispositive.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Postponement of Preliminary Determinations On January 29, 2014, the Department of Commerce (the ‘‘Department’’) published a notice of initiation of antidumping duty investigations of certain crystalline silicon photovoltaic products from the PRC and and Taiwan.1 The notice of initiation stated that the Department, in accordance with section 733(b)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the ‘‘Act’’), and 19 CFR 351.205(b)(1), would issue its preliminary determinations for these investigations, unless postponed, no later than 140 days after the date of the initiation. The preliminary determinations of these antidumping duty investigations are currently due no later than June 11, 2014. Pursuant to section 733(c)(1)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.205(b)(2), the Department concludes that the parties involved in these investigations are cooperating and determines that these investigations are extraordinarily complicated by reason of the number and complexity of the transactions to be investigated and adjustments to be considered and the number of firms whose activities must be investigated. Therefore, in accordance with section 733(c)(1)(B) of the Act, the Department determines that it is appropriate to postpone the preliminary determinations in these investigations. Specifically, the Department determines that a 43-day postponement of the preliminary determinations is needed in order to provide the Department with sufficient time to review and analyze questionnaire responses and issue appropriate requests for clarification and additional information. For the reasons stated above, the Department, in accordance with section 733(c)(1)(B) of the Act, is postponing the deadline for the preliminary determinations to no later than 183 days after the date on which the Department initiated these investigations. Therefore, the new deadline for issuing these preliminary determinations is July 24, 2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: SUMMARY: I. Abstract Regulations at 50 CFR 665.16 require that all U.S. vessels with Federal permits fishing for Western Pacific fishery management unit species display identification markings on the vessel and gear, as specified in 50 CFR part 665 and 50 CFR part 300. Vessels registered for use with a permit issued under Subparts B through E and Subparts G through I of 50 CFR part 665, must display the vessel’s official number on both sides of the deckhouse or hull, and on an appropriate weather deck. Vessels fishing in the Western and Central Pacific Convention (WCPFC) Area with a WCPFC Area Endorsement, or required to have a WCPFC Area Endorsement, must comply with the regulations at 50 CFR 300.14 and 50 CFR 300.217. These regulations require that vessels must display their international radio call sign on both sides of the deckhouse or hull, and on an appropriate weather deck, unless specifically exempted. Regulations at 50 CFR 300.35 require that vessels fishing under the South Pacific Tuna Treaty must display their international radio call sign on the hull, the deck, and on the sides of auxiliary equipment such as skiffs and helicopters. The numbers must be a specific size at specified locations. The display of the identifying numbers aids in fishery law enforcement. Western Pacific fisheries regulations at 50 CFR 665.128, 665.228, 665.428, 665,628 and 665.804 require that certain fishing gear must be marked.

Department determines that a 43-day postponement of the preliminary 
determinations is needed in order to provide the Department with
