Postponement of Final Determination

    Section 735(a)(2)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 
Act), and 19 CFR 351.210(b)(2)(ii), 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 an 
affirmative preliminary determination, a request for such postponement 
is made by exporters who account for a significant proportion of 
exports of the subject merchandise. Further, 19 CFR 351.210(e)(2) 
requires that such postponement requests by exporters be accompanied by 
a request for extension of provisional measures from a four-month 
period to a period not more than six months, in accordance with section 
733(d) of the Act.
    In accordance with section 735(a)(2)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 
351.210(b)(2)(ii), because (1) our preliminary determination was 
affirmative; (2) the requesting producer/exporter, Taigang, accounts 
for a significant proportion of exports of the subject merchandise from 
the PRC; and (3) no compelling reasons for denial exist, we are 
postponing the final determination until no later than 135 days after 
the date of the publication of the Preliminary Determination and 
extending the provisional measures from a four-month period to a period 
not more than six months. Accordingly, we will issue our final 
determination no later than February 1, 2017.
