SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On July 10, 2018, the Department of
Commerce (Commerce) initiated a
countervailing duty (CVD) investigation
of imports of steel racks from the
People’s Republic of China.1 Currently,
the preliminary determination is due no
later than September 13, 2018.

Postponement of Preliminary
Determination
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, section 703(c)(1) 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 if:
(A) the petitioner 2 makes a timely
request for a postponement; or (B)
Commerce concludes that the parties
concerned are cooperating, and
determines 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.
Commerce will grant the request unless
it finds compelling reasons to deny the
request.
On August 9, 2018, the petitioner
submitted a timely request that
Commerce postpone the preliminary
determination.3 The petitioner states
that it requests postponement of the
preliminary determination because the
scope of the investigation does not
coincide exactly with any particular
HTS category, it has been timeconsuming for Commerce to identify the
largest producers of subject imports,

Republic: Initiation of Countervailing Duty
Investigation, 83 FR 33201 (July 17, 2018)

Imports and its individual members are Bulldog
Rack Company, Hannibal Industries, Inc., Husky
Rack and Wire, Ridg-U-Rak, Inc., SpaceRAK, a
Division of Heartland Steel Products, Inc.,
Speedrack Products Group, Ltd., Steel King

to Postpone Preliminary Determination,’’ dated
August 9, 2018.

and, at the time of the petitioner’s
request, Commerce had not yet been
able to designate mandatory
respondents.4 The petitioner states that
the postponement would allow
sufficient time for Commerce to conduct
a full investigation regarding the
subsidy benefits received by Chinese
producers and exporters of subject
racks.
In accordance with 19 CFR
351.205(e), the petitioner has stated the
reasons for requesting a postponement
of the preliminary determination, and
Commerce finds no compelling reason
to deny the request. Therefore, in
accordance with section 703(c)(1)(A) of
the Act, Commerce is postponing the
deadline for the preliminary
determination to no later than 130 days
after the date on which the investigation
was initiated, i.e., November 19, 2018.5
Pursuant to section 705(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 the preliminary
determination, unless postponed at a
later date.
This notice is issued and published
pursuant to section 703(c)(2) of the Act
and 19 CFR 351.205(f)(1).
