SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On January 2, 2026, the U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce)
initiated a less-than-fair-value (LTFV) investigation of imports of
fresh mushrooms from Canada.\1\ Currently, the preliminary
determination is due no later than May 22, 2026.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ See Fresh Mushrooms from Canada: Initiation of Less-Than-
Fair-Value Investigation, 91 FR 663 (January 8, 2026) (Initiation
Notice).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Postponement of Preliminary Determination
Section 733(b)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the
Act), requires Commerce to issue the preliminary determination in an
LTFV investigation within 140 days after the date on which Commerce
initiated the investigation. However, section 733(c)(1)(A)(b)(1) of the
Act permits Commerce to postpone the preliminary determination until no
later than 190 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, 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.
Commerce will grant the request unless it finds compelling reasons to
deny the request.
On April 23, 2026, the petitioner \2\ submitted a timely request
that Commerce postpone the preliminary determination in this LTFV
investigation.\3\ The petitioner stated that it requests postponement
so that Commerce can fully analyze the questionnaire responses of the
mandatory respondents and issue supplemental questionnaires, as
necessary.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ The petitioner is the Fresh Mushroom Fair Trade Coalition.
\3\ See Petitioner's Letter, ``Petitioners' Request for
Postponement of the Preliminary Determination,'' dated April 23,
2026.
\4\ Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
For the reasons stated above and because there are no compelling
reasons to deny the request, in accordance with section 733(c)(1)(A) of
the Act, Commerce is postponing the deadline for the preliminary
determination by 50 days (i.e., 190 days after the date on which this
investigation was initiated). As a result, Commerce will issue its
preliminary determination no later than July 13, 2026.\5\ In accordance
with section 735(a)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.210(b)(1), the
deadline for the final determination of this investigation will
continue to be 75 days after the date of the preliminary determination,
unless postponed at a later date.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ Fully postponing the preliminary determination results in a
deadline of Saturday, July 11, 2026. Commerce's practice dictates
that, when 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).

Notification to Interested Parties
This notice is issued and published pursuant to section 733(c)(2)
of the Act and 19 CFR 351.205(f)(1).

non-exclusive functions and duties of the Assistant Secretary for
