SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On June 30, 2004, the Department 

initiated antidumping duty 

investigations of purified CMC from 

Finland, Mexico, the Netherlands and 

Sweden for the period April 1, 2003 

through March 31, 2004. See Initiation 

of Antidumping Duty Investigations: 

Purified Carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) 

from Finland, Mexico, the Netherlands 

and Sweden, 69 FR 40617–40621 (July 

6, 2004). The notice stated that the 

Department would issue its preliminary 

determinations no later than 140 days 

after the date of initiation, or November 

16, 2004, unless this deadline is 

extended.

Postponement of Preliminary 

Determinations

Pursuant to section 733(c)(1)(A) of the 

Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 

Tariff Act) and 19 CFR 351.205(e), on 

October 25, 2004, the petitioners filed a 

request that the Department postpone 

the purified CMC preliminary 

determinations for Finland, Mexico, the 

Netherlands and Sweden. The 

petitioners’ request for postponement 

was timely, and the Department finds 

no compelling reason to deny the 

request.

Therefore, in accordance with section 

733(c)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act, the 

Department is postponing the deadline 

for issuing the preliminary 

determinations of these investigations 

by 30 days, or until December 16, 2004.

This notice is published pursuant to 

section 733(c)(2) of the Tariff Act and 19 

CFR 351.205(f).

Dated: October 27, 2004.

James J. Jochum,

Assistant Secretary for Import 

Administration.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NOAA 

publishes this notice to extend an

other application deadlines remain the 

same. 

The Federal Funding Opportunity 

(FFO) notice has been modified to
