within 65 days after the date on which
1 See Ceramic Tile from India: Initiation of
Countervailing Duty Investigation, 89 FR 42841
(May 16, 2024).
2 Because the current deadline for these final
results falls on a weekend (i.e., Saturday, July 13,
2024), the deadline became the next business day
(i.e., Monday, July 15, 2024). See Notice of

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 3 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 June 17, 2024, the petitioner
submitted a timely request that
Commerce postpone this preliminary
CVD determination.4 The petitioner
stated that it requests postponement to
allow Commerce to properly conduct its
investigation and address certain
complicated issues.5 In accordance with
19 CFR 351.205(e), the petitioner has
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.,
September 16, 2024. 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.
