SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On October 20, 2015, the Department of Commerce (``Department'')

Postponement of 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 a postponement, section 
703(c)(1)(A) of the Act allows the Department to postpone making the 
preliminary determination until no later than 130 days after the date 
on which the Department initiated the investigation.
    On November 24, 2015, 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 determination.\3\ For the reasons stated above 
and because there are no compelling reasons to deny the request, the 
Department, in accordance with section 703(c)(1)(A) of the Act, is 
postponing the deadline for the preliminary determination to no later 
than 130 days after the day on which the investigation was initiated. 
Accordingly, the Department will issue the preliminary determination no 
later than February 27, 2016. However, because February 27, 2016, falls 
on a Saturday, the preliminary determination is now due no later than 
February 29, 2016.\4\ In accordance with section 705(a)(1) of the Act 
and 19 CFR 351.210(b)(1), the deadline for the final determination of 
this investigation will continue to be 75 days after the date of the 
preliminary determination, unless postponed at a later date.
