SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On May 17, 2017, the Department of Commerce (the Department) 
initiated a countervailing duty investigation on 100- to 150-Seat Large 
Civil Aircraft from Canada.\1\ Currently, the preliminary determination 
is due no later than July 21, 2017.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See 100- to 150-Seat Large Civil Aircraft from Canada: 
Initiation of Countervailing Duty Investigation, 82 FR 24292 (May 
26, 2017).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Postponement of the Preliminary Determination

    Section 703(b)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), 
requires the Department to issue the preliminary determination in a 
countervailing duty investigation within 65 days after the date on 
which the Department initiated the investigation. However, section 
703(c)(1) of the Act permits the Department to postpone the preliminary 
determination until no later than 130 days after the date on which the 
Department initiated the investigation if: (A) The petitioner \2\ makes 
a timely request for a postponement; or (B) the Department concludes 
that the parties concerned are cooperating, that the investigation is 
extraordinarily complicated, and that additional time is necessary to 
make a preliminary determination. Under 19 CFR 351.205(e), the 
petitioner must submit a request for postponement 25 days or more 
before the scheduled date of the preliminary determination and must 
state the reasons for the request. The Department will grant the 
request unless it finds compelling reasons to deny the request.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ In this investigation, the petitioner is The Boeing Company.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On June 26, 2017, the petitioner submitted a timely request that we 
postpone the preliminary CVD determination. In its request, the 
petitioner cited the number of subsidy programs provided by three 
different government entities, and the need for the Department to have 
sufficient time to investigate each of the alleged subsidies 
thoroughly.\3\ In accordance with 19 CFR 351.205(e), the petitioner has 
stated the reasons for requesting a postponement of the preliminary 
determination, and the Department finds no compelling reason to deny 
the request. Therefore, pursuant to section 703(c)(1)(A) of the Act, we 
are extending the due date for the preliminary determination to no 
later than 130 days after the date on which this investigation was 
initiated, i.e., to September 25, 2017.\4\ Pursuant to section 
705(a)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.210(b)(1), the deadline for the 
final determination will continue to be 75 days after the date of the 
preliminary determination.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See Letter from the petitioner, ``100- to 150-Seat Large 
Civil Aircraft from Canada: Request to Postpone Preliminary 
Determination,'' (June 26, 2017).
    \4\ The actual deadline is September 24, 2017, which is a 
Sunday. The Department's practice dictates that where a deadline 
falls on a weekend or federal holiday, the appropriate deadline is 
the next business day. See Notice of Clarification: Application of 
``Next Business Day'' Rule for Administrative Determination 
Deadlines Pursuant to the Tariff Act of 1930, As Amended, 70 FR 
24533 (May 10, 2005).
