SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On March 30, 2015, the Department of Commerce (the Department) 
initiated countervailing duty investigations on certain polyethylene 
terephthalate resin from the People's Republic of China (PRC), India, 
and the Sultanate of Oman (Oman).\1\ Currently, the preliminary 
determinations are due no later than June 3, 2015.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See Certain Polyethylene Terephthalate Resin from the 
People's Republic of China, India, and the Sultanate of Oman: 
Initiation of Countervailing Duty Investigations, 80 FR 18376 (April 
6, 2015).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Postponement of the Preliminary Determination

    Section 703(b)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), 
requires the Department to issue the preliminary determination in a 
countervailing duty investigation within 65 days after the date on 
which the Department initiated the investigation. However, if the 
petitioner makes a timely request for an extension in accordance with 
19 CFR 351.205(e), section 703(c)(1)(A) of the Act allows the 
Department to postpone the preliminary determination until no later 
than 130 days after the date on which the Department initiated the 
investigation.
    On May 4, 2015, the petitioners \2\ submitted a timely request 
pursuant to section 703(c)(1)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.205(e) to 
postpone the preliminary determinations.\3\ Therefore, in accordance 
with section 703(c)(1)(A) of the Act, we are fully extending the due 
date for the preliminary determination to not later than 130 days after 
the day on which the investigation was initiated. As a result, the 
deadline for completion of the preliminary determination is now August 
7, 2015.
