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 \2\ 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 November 5, 2024, the petitioner submitted a timely request that 
Commerce postpone the preliminary determination in the LTFV

preliminary determination because it believes that additional time is 
necessary to ensure that Commerce, the petitioner, and any other 
interested parties are able to sufficiently review all questionnaire 
responses and request clarification and additional information as 
necessary.'' \4\
