AGENCY:
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 reason for the request.
Commerce will grant the request unless
it finds compelling reasons to deny the
request.
On February 24, 2022, the petitioner 2
in this investigation submitted a timely
request that Commerce postpone the
preliminary CVD determinations.3 The
petitioner stated that it is requesting a
postponement because additional time
is needed to develop the records and
review responses in order to determine
accurate CVD rates.4
In accordance with 19 CFR
351.205(e), the petitioner has stated the
reasons for requesting a postponement
of the preliminary determinations, 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
determinations to no later than 130 days
after the date on which this
investigation was initiated, i.e., May 31,
2022.5 Pursuant to section 705(a)(1) of
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On January 19, 2022, the Department
of Commerce (Commerce) initiated the
countervailing duty (CVD)
investigations of imports of certain steel
nails (steel nails) from India, the
Sultanate of Oman (Oman), Sri Lanka,

falls on a weekend or federal holiday, the
appropriate deadline is the next business day. See
