SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On November 18, 2024, the U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) 
initiated countervailing duty (CVD) investigations of U.S. imports of 
overhead door counterbalance torsion springs (overhead door springs) 
from India and China.\1\ Currently, the preliminary determinations are 
due no later than January 22, 2025.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See Overhead Door Counterbalance Torsion Springs from the 
People's Republic of China and India: Initiation of Countervailing 
Duty Investigations, 89 FR 92901 (November 25, 2024).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Postponement of Preliminary Determinations

    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 not 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, the investigation is extraordinarily 
complicated, and 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 December 20, 2024, the petitioners \2\ submitted timely requests 
that Commerce postpone the preliminary determinations in the CVD 
investigations of overhead door springs from India and China.\3\ The 
petitioners requested postponements to provide Commerce with additional 
time to review and analyze questionnaire responses and accurately 
determine countervailable subsidy rates.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ The petitioners in these investigations are IDC Group, Inc., 
Iowa Spring Manufacturing, Inc., and Service Spring Corp. (the 
petitioners).
    \3\ See Petitioners' Letters, ``Overhead Door Counterbalance 
Torsion Springs from India--Petitioners' Request for Postponement of 
Preliminary Determination,'' dated December 20, 2024, and ``Overhead 
Door Counterbalance Torsion Springs from the People's Republic of 
China--Petitioners' Request for Postponement of Preliminary 
Determination,'' dated December 20, 2024.
    \4\ Id. at 2.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In accordance with 19 CFR 351.205(e), the petitioners have stated 
the reasons for requesting a postponement of the preliminary 
determinations, and Commerce finds no compelling reason to deny the 
requests. Therefore, in accordance with section 703(c)(1)(A) of the 
Act, Commerce is postponing the deadline for the preliminary 
determinations in these investigations until not later than 130 days 
after the date on which Commerce initiated these investigations, i.e., 
March 28, 2025. Pursuant to section 705(a)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 
351.210(b)(1), the deadline for the final determinations in these 
investigations will continue to be 75 days after the date of the 
preliminary determinations.
    This notice is issued and published pursuant to section 703(c)(2) 
of the Act and 19 CFR 351.205(f)(1).
