Postponement of Final Determinations
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 April 24, 2026, REC Solar Energy Indonesia and PT Blue Sky Solar
Indonesia, the 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\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ See PT REC Solar Energy Indonesia and PT Blue Sky Solar
Indonesia's Letter, ``Request to Postpone Final Determination,''
dated April 24, 2026.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 September 10, 2026.
This notice is issued and published pursuant to section
735(a)(2)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.210(g).
Dated: May 7, 2026.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Policy and Negotiations, performing the
