Background
On July 29, 2020, the Department of
Commerce (Commerce) initiated a
countervailing duty (CVD) investigation
of imports of certain metal lockers and
parts thereof from the People’s Republic
of China.1 Currently, the preliminary
determination is due no later than
October 2, 2020.
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 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 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 September 4, 2020, the
petitioners 2 submitted a timely request
that Commerce postpone the
preliminary CVD determination.3 The
petitioners stated that they request
postponement to permit parties time to
review data submitted by the
Government of China and Zhejiang
Xingyi Metal Products Co., Ltd., identify
deficiencies, and provide comment in
advance of the preliminary
determination.4 In accordance with 19
CFR 351.205(e), the petitioners have
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
this investigation was initiated, i.e.,
December 7, 2020.5 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.
This notice is issued and published
pursuant to section 703(c)(2) of the Act
and 19 CFR 351.205(f)(1).

LLC, Penco Products, Inc.; and Tennsco LLC.

China—Petitioners’ Request to Postpone

4 Id.
5 Postponing the preliminary determination to
130 days after initiation would place the deadline
on Sunday, December 6, 2020. Commerce’s practice
dictates that where a deadline falls on a weekend
or federal holiday, the appropriate deadline is the
next business day. See Notice of Clarification:
