SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On February 3, 2016, the Department
of Commerce (Department) initiated
countervailing duty investigations
(CVD) on certain new pneumatic off-theroad tires from India, the PRC, and Sri
Lanka.1 Currently, the preliminary
determinations of these investigations
are due no later than April 8, 2016.
Postponement of 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 CVD investigation
within 65 days after the date on which
the Department initiated the
investigation. However, if the petitioner
makes a timely request for a
postponement, section 703(c)(1)(A) of
the Act allows the Department to
postpone making the preliminary
determination until no later than 130
days after the date on which the
Department initiated the investigation.
On February 12, 2016, the
petitioners 2 submitted timely requests
pursuant to section 703(c)(1)(A) of the
Act and 19 CFR 351.205(e) to postpone
the preliminary determinations.3 For the
reasons stated above and because there
are no compelling reasons to deny the
requests, the Department, in accordance
with section 703(c)(1)(A) of the Act, is
postponing the deadline for the
preliminary determinations to no later
than 130 days after the day on which
the investigations were initiated.
Accordingly, the Department will issue
the preliminary determinations no later
than June 12, 2016. However, because
June 12, 2016, falls on a Sunday, the
