of the preliminary determinations in 

these investigations.

requested a 42–day postponement of the 

preliminary determination in order to 

allow the Department additional time to 

resolve a number of issues in the 

investigation. 

For reasons identified by the 

petitioners and because there are no 

compelling reasons to deny the request, 

the Department is postponing the 

deadline for the preliminary 

determination in accordance with 

section 733(c)(1)(A) of the Act and 19 

CFR 351.205(b)(2) and (e) by 42 days to

75 days after the date of the preliminary 

determination, unless extended. 

Indonesia and Vietnam 

With regard to Indonesia and 

Vietnam, the petitioners requested a 50– 

day postponement of the preliminary 

determinations in order to allow the 

Department additional time to resolve a 

number of complex issues in the 

investigations. 

For reasons identified by the 

petitioners and because there are no 

compelling reasons to deny the requests, 

the Department is postponing the 

deadline for the preliminary 

determinations in accordance with 

section 733(c)(1)(A) of the Act and 19 

CFR 351.205(b)(2) and (e) by 50 days to 

October 27, 2009. The deadline for the 

final determinations will continue to be 

75 days after the date of the preliminary
