determination was due no later than
January 17, 2019. Commerce exercised
its discretion to toll all deadlines
affected by the partial federal
government closure from December 22,
2018, through the resumption of
operations on January 29, 2019.2 As a
result, the deadline for the preliminary
determination was revised to February
26, 2019.
Postponement of 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 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 3 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 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 December 18, 2018, the petitioner
submitted a timely request that
Commerce postpone the preliminary
CVD determination.4 The petitioner
stated that it requests postponement so
that all parties have sufficient time to
develop the record in this
investigation.5 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

fully extending the deadline for the
preliminary determination. Because, as
noted above, Commerce tolled the
original deadline for the preliminary
determination to account for the partial
federal government shutdown, the
extension is effectively 65 days from the
revised deadline for the preliminary
determination of February 26, 2019. As
a result, the preliminary determination
will be due not later than May 2, 2019.6
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.
This notice is issued and published
pursuant to section 703(c)(2) of the Act
and 19 CFR 351.205(f)(1).
