initiation, in accordance with section 733(b)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act

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) and the United Steel, Paper and Forestry, Rubber, 
Manufacturing, Energy, Allied Industrial and Service Workers 
International Union (collectively, ``Petitioners''), made a timely 
request, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.205(b)(2) and (e), for a postponement 
of the preliminary determination, in order to allow additional time for 
the review of questionnaire responses.\2\ Because there are no 
compelling reasons to deny the request, in accordance with section 
733(c)(1)(A) of the Act, the Department is postponing the deadline for 
the preliminary determination by 50 days to no later than October 27, 
2010. The deadline for the final determination will continue to be 75 
days after the date of the preliminary determination, unless extended.
