SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On May 16, 2024, the U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce)

India.\1\ Currently, the preliminary determination is due no later than

Initiation of Countervailing Duty Investigation, 89 FR 45640 (May
23, 2024).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Postponement of Preliminary Determination
Section 703(b)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act),
requires Commerce to issue the preliminary determination in a CVD
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 in a CVD
investigation until no later than 130 days after the date on which
Commerce initiated the investigation if: (A) the petitioner makes a
timely request for an extension of the period within which the
determination must be made; or (B) Commerce concludes that the parties
concerned are cooperating, that the investigation is extraordinarily
complicated, and that additional time is necessary to make the
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 June 26, 2024, the petitioner \2\ submitted a timely request to
postpone the preliminary determination in the investigation.\3\ The
petitioner stated that postponement of the preliminary determination is
necessary because the current schedule does not provide Commerce with
adequate time to fully analyze the forthcoming questionnaire responses
of the mandatory respondents and issue supplemental questionnaires, as
necessary.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ The petitioner is Magotteaux Inc.
\3\ See Petitioner's Letter, ``Request for Postponement of the
Preliminary Determination,'' dated June 26, 2024.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In accordance with 19 CFR 351.205(e), the petitioner submitted its
request for postponement of the preliminary determination in this
investigation 25 days or more before the scheduled date of the
preliminary determination and stated the reasons for its request.
Commerce finds no compelling reason to deny its request. Therefore, in
accordance with section 703(c)(1)(A) of the Act, Commerce is postponing
the deadline for the preliminary determination in this investigation to
no later than 130 days after the date on which it initiated this
investigation, i.e., September 23, 2024. Pursuant to section 705(a)(1)
of the Act and 19 CFR 351.210(b)(1), the deadline for the final
determination in this investigation will continue to be 75 days after
the date of the preliminary determination.
This notice is issued and published pursuant to section 703(c)(2)
of the Act and 19 CFR 351.205(f)(1).
Dated: July 3, 2024.
