SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On May 1, 2017, the Department of 

Commerce (the Department) initiated 

the antidumping duty investigations on 

certain tool chests and cabinets from the 

People’s Republic of China and the 

Socialist Republic of Vietnam.1 The 

Initiation Notice stated that the 

Department would issue its preliminary 

determinations for these investigations 

no later than 140 days after the date of 

the initiation in accordance with section 

733(b)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 

amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 

351.205(b)(1), unless postponed.2

Currently, the preliminary 

determinations of these investigations 

are due no later than September 18, 

2017. 

Period of Investigation 

The period of investigation is October 

1, 2016, through March 31, 2017. 

Postponements of Preliminary 

Determinations 

Section 733(c)(1)(A) of the Act 

permits the Department to postpone the 

time limit for the preliminary 

determination if it receives a timely 

request from the petitioner for 

postponement. The Department may 

postpone the preliminary determination 

under section 733(c)(1) of the Act to no 

later than 190 days after the date on 

which the administering authority 

initiates an investigation. 

On August 9, 2017, the petitioner, 

Waterloo Industries Inc., made a timely 

request under 19 CFR 351.205(e) for a 

50-day postponement of the preliminary 

determinations of these investigations.3

The petitioner states that the 

postponements are necessary given the 

need for additional time to analyze 

responses from the selected respondents 

in these investigations.4 For the reasons 

stated above, and because there are no 

compelling reasons to deny the 

petitioner’s request, the Department is 

postponing the preliminary 

determinations of these investigations in 

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

the Act and 19 CFR 351.205(b)(2) and 

(e) to November 7, 2017. 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. 

This notice is issued and published 

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

and 19 CFR 351.205(f)(1).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On April 17, 2017, the Department of 

Commerce (the Department) initiated 

less-than-fair-value (LTFV) 

investigations of imports of carbon and 

alloy steel wire rod (wire rod) from 

Italy, Korea, South Africa, Spain, 

Turkey, Ukraine, and the UK.1

Currently, the preliminary 

determinations are due no later than 

September 5, 2017.2

Postponement of Preliminary 

Determinations 

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

of 1930, as amended (the Act), requires 

the Department to issue the preliminary 

determination in a LTFV investigation 

within 140 days after the date on which 

the Department initiated the 

investigation. However, section 

733(c)(1)(A)(b)(1) of the Act permits the 

Department to postpone the preliminary 

determination until no later than 190 

days after the date on which the 

Department initiated the investigation 

if: (A) The petitioner makes a timely 

request for a postponement; or (B) the 

Department 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. The 

Department will grant the request unless 

it finds compelling reasons to deny the 

request. 

On August 11, 2017, the petitioners 3

submitted a timely request that the 

Department postpone the preliminary 

determinations in these LTFV 

investigations.4 The petitioners stated 

that they request postponement because 

the Department is still gathering data 

and questionnaire responses from the 

foreign producers in these 

investigations, and that additional time 

is necessary for the Department and 

interested parties to fully and properly 

analyze all questionnaire responses, and
