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 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.\2\

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

    On May 22, 2020, the petitioner in this investigation \3\ submitted 
a timely request that Commerce postpone the preliminary CVD 
determination.\4\ According to the petitioner, additional time is 
necessary to allow Commerce to analyze fully the questionnaire

extent to which countervailable subsidies have benefited the 
respondents in the preliminary phase of this proceeding.\5\ Consistent 
with 19 CFR 351.205(e), the petitioner stated the reasons for its 
request, 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 this investigation was 
initiated, i.e., August 24, 2020. Pursuant to section 705(a)(1) of the 
Act and 19 CFR 351.210(b)(1), the deadline for the final determination
