SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On January 19, 2022, Commerce initiated an LTFV investigation of
imports of nails from Turkey.\1\ The period of investigation is October
1, 2020, through September 30, 2021. On August 4, 2022, Commerce
published the Preliminary Determination.\2\

Investigations, 87 FR 3965 (January 26, 2022).

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Postponement of Final Determination
Section 735(a)(2) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act),
and 19 CFR 351.210(b)(2) provide that a final determination may be
postponed until not later than 135 days after the date of the
publication of the preliminary determination if, in the event of an
affirmative preliminary determination, a request for such postponement
is made by the exporters or producers who account for a significant
proportion of exports of the subject merchandise, or in the event of a
negative preliminary determination, a request for such postponement is
made by the petitioners. Further, 19 CFR 351.210(e)(2) requires that
such postponement requests by exporters be accompanied by a request for
extension of provisional measures from a four-month period to a period
of not more than six months, in accordance with section 733(d) of the
Act.
On August 2, 2022, Aslanbas Civi Tel Ve Celik Hasir San. A.S.
(Aslanbas) and Sertel Vida Metals, A.S. (Sertel Vida), mandatory
respondents in this investigation, requested that Commerce postpone the
deadline for the final determination until no later than 135 days from
the publication of the Preliminary Determination, and extend the
application of the provisional measures from a four-month period to a
period of not more than six months.\3\ In accordance with section
735(a)(2)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.210(b)(2)(ii), because: (1) the
preliminary determination was affirmative; (2) the request was made by
the exporters and producers who account for a significant proportion of
exports of the subject merchandise; and (3) no compelling reasons for
denial exist, Commerce is postponing the final determination until no
later than 135 days after the date of the publication of the
Preliminary Determination, and extending the provisional measures from
a four-month period to a period of not more than six months.
Accordingly, Commerce will issue its final determination no later than
December 19, 2022.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ See Aslanbas and Sertel Vida's Letter, ``Request to Extend
the Final Determination,'' dated August 2, 2022.
\4\ Postponing the final determination to 135 days after the
publication of the Preliminary Determination would place the
deadline on Saturday, December 17, 2022. Commerce's practice
dictates that where a deadline falls on a weekend or federal
holiday, the appropriate deadline is the next business day. See
Notice of Clarification: Application of ``Next Business Day'' Rule
for Administrative Determination Deadlines Pursuant to the Tariff
Act of 1930, As Amended, 70 FR 24533 (May 10, 2005).
