Postponement of Preliminary Determinations

    On October 31, 2016, Weldbend Corporation and Boltex Manufacturing 
Co., L.P. (collectively, the petitioners), made timely requests 
pursuant to section 733(c)(1)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.205(e), for 
a 50-day postponement of the preliminary determinations in these 
investigations in order to provide the Department with sufficient time 
to review submissions and request supplemental information, in order to 
arrive at the most accurate results possible.\3\ No other parties 
commented.

January 26, 2017, in accordance with section 733(c)(1)(A) of the Act 
and 19 CFR 351.205(b)(2).
    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.
