SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On April 27, 2010, the Department of Commerce (the Department)
published in the Federal Register a notice of initiation of the
countervailing duty investigation of aluminum extrusions from the
People's Republic of China. See Aluminum Extrusions From the People's
Republic of China: Initiation of Countervailing Duty Investigation, 75
FR 22114 (April 27, 2010). On May 11, 2010, petitioners requested, in
accordance with section 703(c)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 351 205(b)(2), a 65-day postponement of
the preliminary determination.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ Petitioners are Aerolite Extrusion Company, Alexandria
Extrusion Company, Benada Aluminum of Florida, Inc., William L.
Bonnell Company, Inc., Frontier Aluminum Corporation, Futura
Industries Corporation, Hydro Aluminum North America, Inc., Kaiser
Aluminum Corporation, Profile Extrusion Company, Sapa Extrusions,
Inc., and Western Extrusions Corporation.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Postponement of Due Date for Preliminary Determination
Section 703(b)(1) of the Act requires the Department to issue the
preliminary determination in a countervailing duty investigation within
65 days after the date on which the Department initiated the
investigation. However, the Department may postpone, at petitioners'
timely request, making the preliminary determination until no later
than 130 days after the date on which the administering authority
initiated the investigation. See section 703(c)(1)(A) of the Act.
Petitioners' request for a 65-day postponement of the preliminary
determination was made 25 days before the scheduled date of the
preliminary determination, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.205(e). Therefore, in
accordance with section 703(c)(1)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.205(b)(2), we are fully extending the due date for the preliminary
determination to no later than 130 days after the day on which the
investigation was initiated. The deadline for completion of the
preliminary determination is now August 28, 2010. Because that date
falls on a weekend, the deadline for completion of this preliminary
determination is the next business day, i.e., August 30, 2010.
This notice is issued and published pursuant to section 703(c)(2)
of the Act.
Dated: June 15, 2010.
Paul Piquado,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
