SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June 30, 2015, the Department published a 
notice of initiation of the LTFV investigations of certain corrosion-
resistant steel from Italy, India, the People's Republic of China, 
Korea, and Taiwan.\1\ The period of investigation is April 1, 2014, 
through March 31, 2015. On January 4, 2016, the Department published 
its negative Preliminary Determination in the LTFV investigation of 
corrosion-resistant steel from Taiwan.\2\ On December 28, 2015, AK 
Steel Corporation, with the concurrence of ArcelorMittal USA LLC, Nucor 
Corporation, Steel Dynamics Inc., California Steel Industries, and 
United States Steel Corporation (collectively ``Petitioners''), 
requested that the Department postpone its final determination to align 
with the deadlines of the other investigations of corrosion-resistant 
steel from the People's Republic of China, India, Italy, and Korea.\3\

Corrosion-Resistant Steel Products From Taiwan: Request For 
Postponement Of The Final Determination,'' dated December 28, 2015.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Postponement of Final Determination

    Section 735(a)(2)(B) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the 
Act''), and 19 CFR 351.210(b)(2)(i), provide that a final determination 
may be postponed until not later than 135 days after the date of the 
publication of the preliminary determination if, in the event of a 
negative preliminary determination, a request for such postponement is 
made by the petitioner. In accordance with section 735(a)(2)(B) of the 
Act and 19 CFR 351.210(b)(2)(i), because (1) our preliminary 
determination was negative; (2) the request was made by Petitioners; 
and (3) no compelling reasons for denial exist, we are postponing the 
final determination until no later than 135 days after the publication 
of the Preliminary Determination (i.e., to May 18, 2016), in alignment 
with the deadlines of the other investigations of corrosion-resistant 
steel from the People's Republic of China, India, Italy, and Korea.\4\ 
Accordingly, we will issue our final determination no later than 135 
days after the date of publication of the Preliminary Determination.
