SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On February 16, 2016, the Department of Commerce (the Department) 
initiated an antidumping duty investigation on certain amorphous silica 
fabric from the People's Republic of China.\1\ The notice of initiation 
stated that the Department, in accordance with section 733(b)(1)(A) of 
the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 351.205(b)(1), 
would issue its preliminary determination for this investigation, 
unless postponed, no later than 140 days after the date of the 
initiation. The deadline for the preliminary determination of this 
antidumping duty investigation is currently July 5, 2016.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See Certain Amorphous Silica Fabric from the People's 
Republic of China: Initiation of Less-Than-Fair-Value Investigation, 
81 FR 8913 (February 23, 2016).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Postponement of the Preliminary Determination

    Section 733(c)(1)(A) of the Act permits the Department to postpone 
the time limit for the preliminary determination if it receives a 
timely request from the petitioner for postponement. The Department may 
postpone the preliminary determination under section 733(c)(1) of the 
Act until no later than 190 days after the date on which the Department 
initiates an investigation.
    On June 1, 2016, Auburn Manufacturing, Inc. (the Petitioner) 
submitted a timely request pursuant to section 733(c)(1) of the Act and 
19 CFR 351.205(e) for a 50-day postponement of the preliminary 
determination in this investigation.\2\ The petitioner stated that

[[Page 39911]]

a postponement is necessary for the Department to conduct a complete 
and thorough analysis. The petitioner further stated that a 
postponement is needed to allow time to address the various 
deficiencies in the questionnaire responses submitted in this case. The 
petitioner submitted its request more than 25 days before the scheduled 
date of the preliminary determination.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ See Letter from Petitioner, ``Certain Amorphous Silica 
Fabric from the People's Republic of China: Request for Extension of 
the Deadline for the Preliminary Determination,'' dated June 1, 
2016.
    \3\ See 19 CFR 351.205(e).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    For the reasons stated above, and because there are no compelling 
reasons to deny the petitioner's request, the Department is postponing 
the preliminary determination in this investigation in accordance with 
section 733(c)(1)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.205(b)(2) by 50 days 
until August 24, 2016.
    The deadline for the final determination will continue to be 75 
days after the date of the preliminary determination, unless postponed 
at a later date.
    This notice is issued and published pursuant to section 733(c)(1) 
of the Act and 19 CFR 351.205(f)(1).

    Dated: June 13, 2016.

Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
