SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On June 23, 2015, the Department of Commerce (Department) initiated 
the countervailing duty investigations of certain corrosion-resistant 
steel products from India, Italy, the People's Republic of China, the 
Republic of Korea, and Taiwan.\1\ Currently, the preliminary 
determinations are due no later than August 27, 2015.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See Certain Corrosion-Resistant Steel Products from the 
People's Republic of China, India, Italy, the Republic of Korea, and 
Taiwan: Initiation of Countervailing Duty Investigations, 80 FR 
37223 (June 30, 2015) (Initiation Notice).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Postponement of Due Date for the Preliminary Determinations

    Section 703(b)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (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, section 
703(c)(1) of the Act permits the Department to postpone making the 
preliminary determination until no later than 130 days after the date 
on which it initiated the investigation if, among other reasons, the 
petitioner makes a timely request for a postponement, or the Department 
concludes that the parties concerned are cooperating and determines 
that the investigation is extraordinarily complicated. On August 3, 
2015, United States Steel Corporation;

[[Page 48500]]

Nucor Corporation; Steel Dynamics, Inc.; ArcelorMittal USA, LLC; AK 
Steel Corp.; and California Steel Industries (collectively, 
Petitioners) made a timely request to postpone the preliminary 
countervailing duty determinations.\2\ Therefore, pursuant to the 
discretion afforded the Department under 703(c)(1)(A) of the Act and 
because the Department does not find any compelling reason to deny the 
request, we are fully extending the due date until 130 days after the 
Department's initiation for the preliminary determinations. The 
deadline for the completion of the preliminary determinations is now 
November 2, 2015.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ See Petitioners' August 3, 2015 letter requesting 
postponement of the preliminary determination.
    \3\ The due date actually falls on October 31, 2015, which is a 
Saturday. Therefore, the deadline moves to the next business day, 
November 2, 2015. See Notice of Clarification: Application of ``Next 
Business Day'' Rule for Administrative Determination Deadlines 
Pursuant to the Tariff Act of 1930, As Amended, 70 FR 24533 (May 10, 
2008).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    This notice is issued and published pursuant to section 703(c)(2) 
of the Act and 19 CFR 351.205(f)(1).
