state the reasons for the request. The
Department will grant the request unless
it finds compelling reasons to deny the
request. See 19 CFR 351.205(e).
On November 7, 2017, the petitioner
submitted a timely request that the
Department postpone the preliminary
determinations in these LTFV
investigations.3 The petitioner stated
that it requests postponement because
the Department is still gathering data
and questionnaire responses, and
additional time is necessary for the
Department and interested parties to
review and analyze all questionnaire
responses, as well as for interested
parties to comment on these responses.4
For the reasons stated above and
because there are no compelling reasons
to deny the request, the Department, in
accordance with section 733(c)(1)(A) of
the Act, is postponing the deadline for
the preliminary determinations by 50
days (i.e., 190 days after the date on
which these investigations were
initiated). As a result, the Department
will issue its preliminary
determinations no later than January 23,
2018. In accordance with section
735(a)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.210(b)(1), the deadline for the final
determinations of these investigations
will continue to be 75 days after the
date of the preliminary determinations,
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).
Since the Final Determination, the
Department has not established a new
cash deposit rate for PT or all other
producers and exporters. As a result, in
accordance with section 735(c)(1)(B) of
the Act, the Department will instruct
U.S. Customs and Border Protection to
collect cash deposits at the rates for
entries of subject merchandise in
accordance with the rates for exporters
and producers listed above in this
notice, effective October 14, 2017.
Background

of 1930, as amended (the Act), requires
the Department to issue the preliminary
determination in an LTFV investigation

the Department initiated the
investigation. However, section
733(c)(1) of the Act permits the
Department to postpone the preliminary
determination until no later than 190
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
