| Postponement of Preliminary Antidumping Duty Determinations |
Specifically, the ITA states that the petitioner requested postponement of the preliminary AD duty determinations because of the need for additional time for the ITA to conduct a full and complete AD analysis for all four countries, including analysis of sales below cost, prior to the issuance of the preliminary determinations.
For the reasons identified by the petitioner, and because there are no compelling reasons to deny the request, the ITA states that it is postponing these preliminary AD duty determinations.
