SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On October 11, 2018, the Department
of Commerce (Commerce) initiated a
less-than-fair-value (LTFV) investigation
of aluminum wire cable (AWC) from
China.1 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 28, 2019.2 The revised deadline
for the preliminary determination is
now April 9, 2019.
Postponement of Preliminary
Determination
Section 733(b)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act
of 1930, as amended (the Act), and 19
CFR 351.205(b)(1) require Commerce to
issue the preliminary determination in
an AD investigation no later than 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 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.4
The petitioners submitted a timely
request on February 15, 2019, that we
postpone the preliminary determination

in this LTFV investigation.5 The
petitioners stated that a postponement is
warranted to provide Commerce and all
parties sufficient time to develop the
record in this investigation, and the
current April 9, 2019 deadline does not
provide adequate time for Commerce to
review questionnaires, receive
responses, and follow up with
supplemental questionnaires.
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 due date for
the preliminary AD determination to no
later than 190 days after the day on
which the investigation was initiated.
As a result of this postponement, the
deadline for completion of the
preliminary determination is now May
29, 2019. 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
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).

Background
On October 10, 2018, the Department
of Commerce (Commerce) initiated lessthan-fair-value (LTFV) investigations of
imports of refillable stainless steel kegs

Mexico, and the People’s Republic of
China.1 Commerce exercised its
discretion to toll all deadlines affected

the revised deadline for the preliminary
determinations in these investigations is

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 a 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 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.
