decrease in sales or production of each 

petitioning firm.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On November 5, 2014, the Department 

of Commerce (the Department) initiated 

the countervailing duty (CVD) 

investigations of welded line pipe from 

the Republic of Korea and the Republic 

of Turkey.1 Currently, the preliminary 

determinations are due no later than 

January 9, 2015. 

Postponement of Due Date for the 

Preliminary Determinations 

Section 703(b)(1) of the Tariff Act of 

1930, as amended (the Act), requires the 

Department to issue the preliminary 

determination in a CVD investigation 

within 65 days after the date on which 

the Department initiated the 

investigation. However, if the petitioner 

makes a timely request for a 

postponement, section 703(c)(1)(A) of 

the Act allows the Department to 

postpone making the preliminary 

determination until no later than 130 

days after the date on which the 

administering authority initiated the 

investigation. 

On December 11, 2014, the 

petitioners 2 in these investigations 

timely requested that the deadline for 

the preliminary determination in each 

of these cases be postponed in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.205(e), 

citing the extraordinarily complicated 

nature of the cases. Therefore, in 

accordance with section 703(c)(1)(A) of
