People’s Republic of China.1 The notice 

of initiation stated that, unless 

postponed, the Department would issue 

its preliminary determination no later 

than 140 days after the date of issuance 

of the initiation, in accordance with 

section 733(b)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act of 

1930, as amended (‘‘the Act’’). The 

preliminary determination is currently 

due no later than September 15, 2009.

(collectively, ‘‘Petitioners’’), made a 

timely request, pursuant to 19 CFR 

351.205(b)(2) and (e), for a 50-day

Because there are no compelling reasons 

to deny the request, in accordance with

Department is postponing the deadline

will continue to be 75 days after the 

date of the preliminary determination,
