---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Postponement of Preliminary Determinations

    Section 733(b)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 
Act), requires Commerce to issue the preliminary determination in an 
LTFV investigation within 140 days after the date on which Commerce 
initiated the investigation. However, section 733(c)(1)(A)(b)(1) of

[[Page 72738]]

the Act permits Commerce to postpone the preliminary determination 
until no later than 190 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 October 5, 2023, the petitioners \2\ submitted a timely request 
that Commerce postpone the preliminary determinations in the LTFV 
investigations of mattresses from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, 
Burma, India, Italy, Kosovo, Mexico, the Philippines, Poland, Slovenia, 
Spain, and Taiwan.\3\ The petitioners stated that they request 
postponement given the complexity of the investigations, the extensions 
of time Commerce granted to respondents, and the recent selection of 
additional respondents, to allow the petitioners adequate time to 
comment on responses and Commerce adequate time to issue supplemental 
questionnaires and conduct a thorough analysis in these 
investigations.\4\

Corsicana Mattress Company; Future Foam, Inc.; FXI, Inc.; Kolcraft

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    For the reasons stated above and because there are no compelling

733(c)(1)(A) of the Act, is postponing the deadline for the preliminary 
determinations by 50 days (i.e., 190 days after the date on which these 
investigations were initiated). As a result, Commerce will issue its 
preliminary determinations no later than February 23, 2024. In
