SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On March 30, 2015, the Department of Commerce (Department) 
initiated antidumping duty investigations on certain polyethylene 
terephthalate resin from Canada, the PRC, India, and Oman.\1\ Section 
733(b)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), and 19 
CFR 351.205(b)(1) state the Department will make a preliminary 
determination no later than 140 days after the date of the initiation. 
The current deadline for the preliminary determinations of these 
investigations is no later than August 17, 2015.

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

Postponement of Preliminary Determination

    On July 21, 2015, DAK Americas, LLC, M&G Chemicals, and Nan Ya 
Plastics Corporation, America (Petitioners) made a timely request, 
pursuant to 19 CFR 351.205(e), for postponement of the preliminary 
determinations, in order to give the Department the necessary time to 
further develop the record in this proceeding through additional 
questionnaires, which Petitioners will in turn need time to analyze and

[[Page 45641]]

possibly comment on. Because there are no compelling reasons to deny 
Petitioners' request, in accordance with section 733(c)(1)(A) of the 
Act, the Department is postponing the deadline for the preliminary 
determinations by 50 days.
    For the reasons stated above, the Department, in accordance with 
section 733(c)(1)(A) of the Act, is postponing the deadline for the 
preliminary determinations to no later than 190 days after the date on 
which the Department initiated these investigations. Therefore, the new 
deadline for the preliminary determinations is October 6, 2015. In 
accordance with section 735(a)(1) of the Act, the deadline for the 
final determinations of these investigations will continue to be 75 
days after the date of the preliminary determinations, unless postponed 
at a later date.
    This notice is issued and published pursuant to section 733(c)(2) 
of the Act and 19 CFR 351.205(f)(1).

    Dated: July 24, 2015.

Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
