SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On August 17, 2023, the U.S. 

Department of Commerce (Commerce) 

initiated a countervailing duty (CVD) 

investigation of imports of mattresses 

from Indonesia.1 Currently, the 

preliminary determination is due no 

later than October 23, 2023. 

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 countervailing duty 

investigation within 65 days after the 

date on which Commerce initiated the 

investigation. However, section 

703(c)(1) of the Act permits Commerce 

to postpone the preliminary 

determination until no later than 130 

days after the date on which Commerce 

initiated the investigation if: (A) the 

petitioner makes a timely request for a 

postponement; or (B) Commerce 

concludes that the parties concerned are 

cooperating, that the investigation is 

extraordinarily complicated, and that 

additional time is necessary to make a 

preliminary determination. Under 19 

CFR 351.205(e), the petitioner must 

submit a request for postponement 25 

days or more before the scheduled date 

of the preliminary determination and 

must state the reasons for the request. 

Commerce will grant the request unless 

it finds compelling reasons to deny the 

request. 

On September 22, 2023, the 

petitioners 2 submitted a timely request 

that Commerce postpone the 

preliminary CVD determination.3 The 

petitioners stated that they request 

postponement so that the petitioners 

will have an adequate opportunity to 

submit rebuttal factual information and 

Commerce will have adequate time to 

review the data provided in the 

questionnaire responses and issue 

supplemental questionnaires prior to 

the issuance of the preliminary 

determination.4 In accordance with 19 

CFR 351.205(e), the petitioners have 

stated the reasons for requesting a 

postponement of the preliminary 

determination, and Commerce finds no 

compelling reason to deny the request. 

Therefore, in accordance with section 

703(c)(1)(A) of the Act, Commerce is 

postponing the deadline for the 

preliminary determination to no later 

than 130 days after the date on which 

this investigation was initiated, i.e., 

December 26, 2023.5 Pursuant to section 

705(a)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.210(b)(1), the deadline for the final 

determination of this investigation will 

continue to be 75 days after the date of 

the preliminary determination. 

This notice is issued and published 

pursuant to section 703(c)(2) of the Act 

and 19 CFR 351.205(f)(1). 

Dated: September 27, 2023.

Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and 

Compliance.
