On March 3, 2011, the Coalition for American Hardwood Parity
(``Petitioners''), made a timely request, pursuant to 19 CFR
351.205(b)(2) and (e), for a postponement of the
[[Page 13358]]
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 May 19, 2011. The deadline
for the final determination will continue to be 75 days after the date
of the preliminary determination, unless postponed.
