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, 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.3 1 See Twist Ties from the People’s Republic of China: Initiation of Countervailing Duty Investigation, 85 FR 45188 (July 27, 2020). 2 The petitioner is Bedford Industries, Inc. 3 See 19 CFR 351.205(e).
