    On March 27, 2018, Commerce initiated a LTFV investigation of

Postponement of Final Determination

    Section 735(a)(2) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), 
and 19 CFR 351.210(b)(2) 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 the exporters or producers who account for a significant 
proportion of exports of the subject merchandise, or in the event of a 
negative preliminary determination, a request for such postponement is 
made by the petitioners. 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 
of not more than six months, in accordance with section 733(d) of the 
Act.
    On October 2, 2018, Duong Vinh Hoa Packaging Company Limited, a 
mandatory respondent in this investigation, requested that Commerce 
postpone the deadline for the final determination until no later than 
135 days from the publication of the Preliminary Determination, and 
extend the application of the provisional measures from a four-month 
period to a period of not more than six months.\3\ In accordance with 
section 735(a)(2)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.210(b)(2)(ii), because 
(1) the preliminary determination was affirmative; (2) the request was 
made by the exporters and producers who account for a significant 
proportion of exports of the subject merchandise; and (3) no compelling 
reasons for denial exist, Commerce is 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 of not more 
than six months. Accordingly, Commerce will issue its final 
determination no later than February 25, 2019.\4\

``Antidumping Duty Investigation of Laminated Woven Sacks from the 
Socialist Republic of Vietnam, Case No. A-552-823: Request to 
Postpone Final Determination'' dated October 2, 2018.
    \4\ Postponing the final determination to 135 days after the 
publication of the Preliminary Determination would place the 
deadline on Saturday/Sunday, February 23, 2019. Commerce's practice 
dictates that where a deadline falls on a weekend or federal 
holiday, the appropriate deadline is the next business day. See

Act of 1930, as Amended, 70 FR 24533 (May 10, 2005).
