written request to the Assistant
Secretary for Enforcement and
Compliance, U.S. Department of

Postponement of Final Determination
and Extension of Provisional Measures
Section 735(a)(2) of the Act provides
that a final determination may be
postponed until not later than 135 days
after the date of the publication of the
preliminary determination in the

affirmative preliminary determination, a
request for such postponement is made
by exporters who account for a
significant proportion of exports of the
subject merchandise, or in the event of
a negative preliminary determination, a
request for such postponement is made
by the petitioner. Section 351.210(e)(2)
of Commerce’s regulations requires that
a request by exporters for postponement
of the final determination be
accompanied by a request for extension
of provisional measures from a fourmonth period to a period not more than

days after Commerce’s final
determination whether subject imports
are materially injuring, or threaten
material injury to, the U.S. industry.

Appvion timely submitted a request to
withdraw its request for an
administrative review for all companies

and Border Protection (CBP) to assess
antidumping duties on all appropriate

issue appropriate assessment
instructions to CBP 35 days after the
