Background
On July 12, 2017, the Department of
Commerce (Department) initiated a
countervailing duty investigation on
ripe olives from Spain.1 Currently, the
preliminary determination is due no
later than September 15, 2017.
Postponement of the 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, section
703(c)(1) of the Act permits the
Department to postpone the preliminary
determination until no later than 130
days after the date on which the
Department initiated the investigation

if: (A) The petitioner 2 makes a timely
request for a postponement; or (B) the
Department concludes that the parties
concerned are cooperating, that the
investigation is extraordinarily
complicated, and that additional time is
necessary to make a preliminary
determination. Under 19 CFR
351.205(e), the petitioner must submit a
request for postponement 25 days or
more before the scheduled date of the
preliminary determination and must
state the reasons for the request. The
Department will grant the request unless
it finds compelling reasons to deny the
request.
On August 7, 2017, the petitioner
submitted a timely request that we
postpone the preliminary CVD
determination.3 The petitioner stated
that it requests postponement because
the Department continues to gather
‘‘questionnaire responses from the
Government of Spain, the European
Union, and the mandatory respondents
in this investigation. Thus, extra time is
needed to permit the Department . . . to
analyze fully the questionnaire
responses, request any necessary
clarifications, and determine the extent
to which countervailable subsidies have
been bestowed on the respondents.’’ 4 In
accordance with 19 CFR 351.205(e), the
petitioner has stated the reasons for
requesting a postponement of the
preliminary determination, and the
Department finds no compelling reason
to deny the request. Therefore, pursuant
to section 703(c)(1)(A) of the Act, we are
extending the due date for the
preliminary determination to no later
than 130 days after the date on which
this investigation was initiated, i.e., to
