SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On May 1, 2017, the Department of Commerce (the Department) 
initiated the antidumping duty investigations on certain tool chests 
and cabinets from the People's Republic of China and the Socialist 
Republic of Vietnam.\1\ The Initiation Notice stated that the 
Department would issue its preliminary determinations for these 
investigations no later than 140 days after the date of the initiation 
in accordance with section 733(b)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 
amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 351.205(b)(1), unless postponed.\2\ 
Currently, the preliminary determinations of these investigations are 
due no later than September 18, 2017.

Republic of China and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam: Initiation 
of Less-Than-Fair-Value Investigations, 82 FR 21523 (May 9, 2017) 
(Initiation Notice).
    \2\ Id. at 21527.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Period of Investigation

    The period of investigation is October 1, 2016, through March 31, 
2017.

Postponements of Preliminary Determinations

    Section 733(c)(1)(A) of the Act permits the Department to postpone 
the time limit for the preliminary determination if it receives a 
timely request from the petitioner for postponement. The Department may 
postpone the preliminary determination under section 733(c)(1) of the 
Act to no later than 190 days after the date on which the administering 
authority initiates an investigation.
    On August 9, 2017, the petitioner, Waterloo Industries Inc., made a 
timely request under 19 CFR 351.205(e) for a 50-day postponement of the 
preliminary determinations of these investigations.\3\ The petitioner 
states that the postponements are necessary given the need for 
additional time to analyze responses from the selected respondents in 
these investigations.\4\ For the reasons stated above, and because 
there are no compelling reasons to deny the petitioner's request, the 
Department is postponing the preliminary determinations of these 
investigations in accordance with section 733(c)(1)(A) of the Act and 
19 CFR 351.205(b)(2) and (e) to November 7, 2017. In accordance with 
section 735(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, unless 
postponed.
