3The petitioner is the American Alliance for 

Solar Manufacturing Trade Committee. 

4See Petitioner’s Letter, ‘‘Request to Postpone 

Preliminary Determination,’’ dated September 9, 

2024. 

5 Id. at 2. 

6 Id. 

7This deadline has been tolled by seven days. See 

footnote 2, supra. 

However, section 733(c)(1)(A)(b)(1) of 

the Act permits Commerce to postpone 

the preliminary determination until no 

later than 190 days after the date on 

which Commerce initiated the 

investigation if: (A) the petitioner 3

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 9, 2024, the petitioner 

submitted a timely request that 

Commerce postpone the preliminary 

determinations in these LTFV 

investigations.4 The petitioner stated 

that it requests postponement because 

Commerce ‘‘only recently received 

responses to the initial questionnaire,’’ 

and ‘‘this extension would allow 

{petitioner’s} counsel and other 

interested parties sufficient time to 

analyze the respondents’ questionnaire 

responses and provide comments on 

those responses.’’ 5 Additionally, the 

extension ‘‘would allow {Commerce} to 

issue supplemental questionnaires and 

receive responses prior to making its 

preliminary . . . determination.’’ 6

For the reasons stated above, and 

because there are no compelling reasons 

to deny the request, Commerce, in 

accordance with section 733(c)(1)(A) of 

the Act, is postponing the deadline for 

the preliminary determinations by 50 

days (i.e., 190 days after the date on 

which these investigations were 

initiated). As a result, Commerce will 

issue its preliminary determinations no 

later than November 27, 2024.7 In 

accordance with section 735(a)(1) of the 

Act and 19 CFR 351.210(b)(1), the 

deadline for the final determinations of 

these investigations will continue to be 

75 days after the date of the preliminary 

determinations, unless postponed at a 

later date. 

This notice is issued and published 

pursuant to section 733(c)(2) of the Act 

and 19 CFR 351.205(f)(1).
