SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background
On June 23, 2015, the Department of
Commerce (Department) initiated the
countervailing duty investigations of
certain corrosion-resistant steel
products from India, Italy, the People’s
Republic of China, the Republic of
Korea, and Taiwan.1 Currently, the
preliminary determinations are due no
later than August 27, 2015.
Postponement of Due Date for the
Preliminary Determinations
Section 703(b)(1) of the Tariff Act of
1930, as amended (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, section
703(c)(1) of the Act permits the
Department to postpone making the
preliminary determination until no later
than 130 days after the date on which
it initiated the investigation if, among
other reasons, the petitioner makes a
timely request for a postponement, or
the Department concludes that the
parties concerned are cooperating and
determines that the investigation is
extraordinarily complicated. On August
3, 2015, United States Steel Corporation;
