---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Postponement of Preliminary Determinations

    Section 703(b)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), 
requires Commerce to issue the preliminary determination in a CVD 
investigation within 65 days after the date on which Commerce initiated 
the investigation. However, if the petitioner makes a timely request 
for a postponement, section 703(c)(1)(A) of the Act permits Commerce to 
postpone the preliminary determination until no later than 130 days 
after the date on which Commerce initiated the investigation. Under 19 
CFR 351.205(e), a petitioner must submit a request for postponement 25 
days or more before the scheduled date of the preliminary determination 
and must state the reason for the request. Commerce will grant the 
request unless it finds compelling reasons to deny the request.
    On March 20, 2018, the petitioners \2\ submitted timely requests to 
postpone the preliminary CVD determinations. The petitioners stated 
that the purpose of their requests was to provide Commerce with 
additional time to receive questionnaire responses from the respondents

additional information, as necessary.\3\ In accordance with 19 CFR 
351.205(e), the petitioners stated the reasons for requesting a 
postponement of the preliminary determinations, and Commerce finds no 
compelling reason to deny the requests. Therefore, in accordance with 
section 703(c)(1)(A) of the Act, Commerce is postponing the deadline 
for the preliminary determinations to no later than 130 days after the 
date on which the investigations were initiated. Accordingly, Commerce 
will issue the preliminary determinations no later than June 19, 2018. 
In accordance with section 705(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
