Postponement of Preliminary Determination

    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 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 8, 2024, the petitioner submitted a timely request that 
Commerce postpone the preliminary determination in this LTFV 
investigation.\3\ The petitioner stated that it requests postponement 
because additional time will allow Commerce to issue supplemental 
questionnaires to address deficiencies and omissions in the mandatory 
respondents' responses and to ensure an accurate calculation of 
preliminary dumping margins.\4\

reasons to deny the request, Commerce is postponing the deadline for 
the preliminary determination by 50 days, i.e., 190 days after the date 
on which this investigation was initiated, in accordance with section 
733(c)(1)(A) of the Act. As a result, Commerce will issue its
