SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On November 25, 2015, the Department of Commerce (Department) 
initiated antidumping duty investigations on certain iron mechanical 
transfer drive components from Canada and the PRC.\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 April 11, 2016.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See Certain Iron Mechanical Transfer Drive Components from 
Canada and the People's Republic of China: Initiation of Less-Than-
Fair-Investigations, 80 FR 73716 (November 25, 2015).
    \2\ The current deadline of April 11, 2016, accounts for the 
four-day tolling of deadlines pursuant to inclement weather in 
January 2016. See January 27, 2016, Memorandum to the Record from 
Ron Lorentzen, Acting Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and 
Compliance, entitled ``Tolling of Administrative Deadlines as a 
Result of the Government Closure during Snowstorm `Jonas'.''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Postponement of Preliminary Determinations

    On February 19, 2016, TB Woods Incorporated (Petitioner) made a 
timely request, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.205(e), for postponement of the 
preliminary determinations, in order to provide the Department with 
sufficient time to develop the record in these proceedings through 
additional questionnaires, which Petitioner will in turn need time to 
analyze and possibly comment on. Because there are no compelling 
reasons to deny Petitioner's 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 May 31, 2016. 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: March 2, 2016.
Paul Piquado,
Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
