Postponement of Expedited Sunset Review

    Section 751(c)(3)(B) of the Act provides that Commerce may issue, 
without further investigation, a final determination based on the facts 
available, in accordance with section 776 of the Act within 120 days 
after the initiation of the review if interested parties provide 
inadequate responses. However, if Commerce determines that the review 
is extraordinarily complicated, section 751(c)(5)(B) of the Act allows 
Commerce to extend the time period for making its determination by not 
more than 90 days.
    Commerce has determined that this CVD sunset review is 
extraordinarily complicated pursuant to sections 751(c)(5)(C)(i) and 
(ii) of the Act. Specifically, due to the number and complexity of the 
alleged countervailable subsidy programs being reviewed, in addition to 
the numerous arguments made by parties in their substantive responses, 
it is not practicable to complete the determination of this CVD sunset 
review within the original time limit (i.e., by September 29, 2021). 
Therefore, in accordance with section 751(c)(5)(B) of the Act, Commerce 
is postponing the deadline of the determination in this sunset review 
to no later than 210 days after the day on which this sunset review was 
initiated, i.e., December 28, 2021.
    This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections
