SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On October 10, 2018, the Department of Commerce (Commerce) 
initiated the countervailing duty (CVD) investigation of imports of 
refillable stainless steel kegs (kegs) from the People's Republic of 
China.\1\ The preliminary determination is currently due no later than 
December 14, 2018.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See Refillable Stainless Steel Kegs: Initiation of 
Countervailing Duty Investigation, 83 FR 52192 (October 16, 2018).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Postponement of Preliminary Determination

    Section 703(b)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), 
requires Commerce to issue the preliminary determination in a CVD 
investigation within 65 days of the date on which Commerce initiated 
the investigation. However, if the petitioner makes a request for an 
extension of the period within which the determination must be made, 
section 703(c)(1)(A) of the Act allows Commerce to postpone making the 
preliminary determination until no later than 130 days after the date 
on which the administering authority initiated the investigation.
    On November 27, 2018, the petitioner \2\ submitted a request 
pursuant to section 703(c)(1)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.205(e) to 
postpone the preliminary determination.\3\ The petitioner states that 
additional time is necessary in light of the number of programs under 
investigation and the expected complexity of the issues.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ The petitioner is American Keg Company LLC.
    \3\ See the petitioner's Letter dated November 27, 2018, 
requesting postponement of the preliminary determination.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    For the reasons stated above, Commerce, in accordance with section 
703(c)(l)(B) of the Act, is postponing the deadline for the preliminary 
determination to no later than 130 days after the day on which Commerce 
initiated this investigation. Therefore,

[[Page 62561]]

the new deadline for the preliminary determination is February 19, 
2019.\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, unless 
postponed.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ The actual deadline is February 17, 2019, which is a Sunday. 
Further, Monday, February 18, 2018 is a Federal holiday. In 
accordance with Commerce's practice, 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).

    This notice is issued and published in accordance with section 
703(c)(2) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.205(f)(1).
