SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On April 25, 2016, the Department of Commerce (Department) 
published a notice of initiation of an antidumping duty investigation 
on ferrovanadium from the Republic of Korea.\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 determination of this investigation is no later 
than September 5, 2016.

Less-Than-Fair Value Investigation, 81 FR 24059 (April 25, 2016).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Postponement of Preliminary Determination

    Section 733(c)(1)(A) of the Act allows the Department to postpone 
the preliminary determination until no later than 190 days after the 
date on which the Department initiated the investigation if the 
petitioner makes a timely request for an extension of the period within 
which the determination must be made. On August 5, 2016, the Vanadium 
Producers and Reclaimers Association (VPRA) and VPRA members AMG 
Vanadium LLC (AMG V), Bear Metallurgical Company (Bear), Gulf Chemical 
& Metallurgical Corporation (Gulf), and Evraz Stratcor, Inc. (Stratcor) 
(collectively, Petitioners) made a timely request, pursuant to 19 CFR 
351.205(e), for postponement of the preliminary determination, in order 
to provide the Department with sufficient time to develop the record in 
this proceeding. Because there are no compelling reasons to deny 
Petitioners' request, in accordance with section 733(c)(1)(A) of the 
Act, the Department is postponing the deadline for the preliminary 
determination by 50 days.
    The new deadline for the preliminary determination is October 25, 
2016. In accordance with section 735(a)(1) of the Act, 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.
    This notice is issued and published pursuant to section 733(c)(2) 
of the Act and 19 CFR 351.205(f)(1).

    Dated: August 12, 2016.
Paul Piquado,
Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
