SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On May 9, 2017, the Department of Commerce (Department) initiated 
countervailing duty (CVD) investigations on certain cold-drawn 
mechanical tubing of carbon and alloy steel (cold-drawn mechanical 
tubing) from India and the People's Republic of China (PRC).\1\ The 
notice of initiation stated that, in accordance with section 703(b)(1) 
of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 
351.205(b)(1), we would issue our preliminary determinations no later 
than 65 days after the date of initiation, unless postponed.\2\ 
Currently, the preliminary determinations of these investigations are 
due no later than July 13, 2017.

Postponement of Preliminary Determination

    Section 703(b)(1) of the Act requires the Department to issue the 
preliminary determination in a CVD investigation within 65 days after 
the date on which the Department initiated the investigation. However, 
if the petitioner makes a timely request for a postponement, section 
703(c)(1)(A) of the Act allows the Department to postpone, making the 
preliminary determination until no later than 130 days after the date 
on which the Department initiated the investigation.

    On June 14, 2017, ArcelorMittal Tubular products, Michigan Seamless 
Tube, LLC, Plymouth Tube Co. USA, PTC Alliance Corp., Webco Industries, 
Inc., and Zekelman Industries Inc. (collectively, the petitioners), 
submitted timely requests pursuant to section 703(c)(1)(A) of the Act 
and 19 CFR 351.205(e) to postpone the preliminary determinations.\3\ 
For the reasons stated above and because there are no compelling 
reasons to deny the requests, the Department, in accordance with 
section 703(c)(1)(A) of the Act, is postponing the deadline for the 
preliminary determinations to no later than 130 days after the day on 
which the investigations were initiated. Accordingly, the Department 
will issue the preliminary determinations no later than September 18, 
2017.\4\ In accordance with section 705(a)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 
351.210(b)(1), the deadline for the final determinations of these 
investigations will continue to be 75 days after the date of the 
preliminary determinations.

    \4\ The actual deadline is September 16, 2017, which is a

falls on a weekend or federal holiday, the appropriate deadline is 
the next business day. See Notice of Clarification: Application of
