SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On April 28, 2016, the Department of Commerce (the Department) 
initiated antidumping duty (AD) investigations concerning imports of 
certain carbon and alloy steel cut-to-length plate (CTL plate) from 
Austria, Belgium, Brazil, the People's Republic of China (PRC), France, 
the Federal Republic of Germany (Germany), Italy, Japan, the Republic 
of Korea (Korea), South Africa, Taiwan, and the Republic of Turkey.\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 September 15, 2016.

Less-Than-Fair-Value Investigations, 81 FR 27089 (May 5, 2016).

Postponement of Preliminary Determinations

    On August 15, 2016, ArcelorMittal USA LLC, Nucor Corporation, and 
SSAB Enterprises, LLC (the petitioners) made a timely request, pursuant 
to 19 CFR 351.205(e), for postponement of the preliminary 
determinations in the investigations of CTL plate from Austria, 
Belgium, the PRC, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Korea, and Taiwan, in 
order to provide the Department with sufficient time to develop the 
record in these proceedings through additional questionnaires, which 
the petitioners will in turn need time to analyze and comment on.\2\ 
Because there are no compelling reasons to deny the petitioners' 
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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ See Certain Carbon and Alloy Steel Cut-to-Length Plate from 
Austria, Belgium, China, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Korea, and 
Taiwan--Petitioners' Request for an Extension of the Department's 
Preliminary Antidumping Duty Determinations, dated August 15, 2016.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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 November 4, 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).
