SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On August 17, 2015, the Department of Commerce (the Department) 
initiated countervailing duty investigations on certain cold-rolled 
steel flat products from Brazil, India, the People's Republic of China, 
the Republic of Korea, and the Russian Federation.\1\ Currently, the 
preliminary determinations are due no later than October 21, 2015.

    \1\ See Certain Cold-Rolled Steel Flat Products From Brazil, 
India, the People's Republic of China, the Republic of Korea, and 
the Russian Federation: Initiation of Countervailing Duty 
Investigations, 80 FR 51206 (August 24, 2015).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Postponement of the Preliminary Determinations

    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 September 23, 2015, Petitioners \2\ submitted timely requests 
pursuant to section 703(c)(1)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.205(e) to 
postpone the preliminary determinations.\3\ For the reasons stated 
above and because there are no compelling reasons to deny the requests, 
the Department, in accordance with section 703(c)(1)(A) of the Act, is 
postponing the deadline for the preliminary determinations to no later 
than 120 days after the day on which the investigation was initiated. 
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.
