On August 8, 2018, the petitioners 2 submitted a timely request that Commerce postpone the preliminary determination in this investigation. The petitioners stated that they request postponement because under the current deadline for the preliminary determinations, Commerce will not have received all questionnaire responses and obtained sufficient information for making a preliminary determination.3 For the reasons stated above and because there are no compelling reasons to deny the request, Commerce, in accordance with section 733(c)(1)(A) of the Act, is postponing the deadline for the preliminary determination by 50 days (i.e., 190 days after the date on which this investigation was initiated). As a result, Commerce will issue its preliminary determination no later than October 23, 2018. In accordance with section 735(a)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.210(b)(1), the deadline for the final determination of this investigation will continue to be 75 days after the date of publication of the preliminary determination, unless postponed at a later date.

On May 22, 2018, pursuant to sections 751(c) and 752(a) of the Act, the ITC published its determination that revocation of the CVD order on hangers from Vietnam would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury to an industry in the United 1 See Certain Steel Wire Garment Hangers from the Socialist Republic of Vietnam: Countervailing Duty Order, 78 FR 8107 (February 5, 2013) (Order). 2 See Initiation of Five-Year (‘‘Sunset’’) Reviews, 82 FR 50,612 (November 1, 2017) (Initiation). 3 See Steel Wire Garment Hangers from Taiwan and Vietnam; Institution of Five-Year Reviews, 82 FR 50686 (November 1, 2017). 4 See Steel Wire Garment Hangers from the Socialist Republic of Vietnam: Final Results of Expedited First Sunset Review of the Countervailing Duty Order, 83 FR 10660 (March 12, 2018) (Expedited Final Results) and accompanying decision memorandum.

Although the HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and customs purposes, the written description of the merchandise is dispositive. Continuation of the Order As a result of the determinations by Commerce and the ITC that revocation of the CVD order would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of countervailable subsidies and material injury to an industry in the United States, pursuant to section 751(d)(2) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(a), Commerce hereby orders the continuation of the CVD order on hangers from Vietnam.

    On April 16, 2018, the Department of Commerce (Commerce) initiated

Postponement of Preliminary Determinations

    Section 733(b)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 
Act), requires Commerce to issue the preliminary determination in an 
LTFV investigation within 140 days after the date on which Commerce 
initiated the investigation. However, section 733(c)(1) of the Act 
permits Commerce to postpone the preliminary determination until no 
later than 190 days after the date on which Commerce initiated the 
investigation if: (A) The petitioner makes a timely request for a 
postponement; or (B) Commerce 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

[[Page 42111]]

more before the scheduled date of the preliminary determination and 
must state the reasons for the request. Commerce will grant the request 
unless it finds compelling reasons to deny the request. See 19 CFR 
351.205(e).
    On August 8, 2018, the petitioners \2\ submitted a timely request 
that Commerce postpone the preliminary determination in this 
investigation. The petitioners stated that they request postponement 
because under the current deadline for the preliminary determinations, 
Commerce will not have received all questionnaire responses and 
obtained sufficient information for making a preliminary 
determination.\3\

    \2\ The petitioners are Accuride Corporation and Maxion Wheels 
Aleron LLC (collectively, the petitioners).
    \3\ See the petitioners' August 8, 2018 Letter re: Petitioners' 
Request to Extend the Preliminary Determination.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    For the reasons stated above and because there are no compelling 
reasons to deny the request, Commerce, in accordance with section 
733(c)(1)(A) of the Act, is postponing the deadline for the preliminary 
determination by 50 days (i.e., 190 days after the date on which this 
investigation was initiated). As a result, Commerce will issue its 
preliminary determination no later than October 23, 2018. In accordance 
with section 735(a)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.210(b)(1), the 
deadline for the final determination of this investigation will 
continue to be 75 days after the date of publication of the preliminary 
determination, 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).
