Postponement of Due Date for Preliminary Determination

The ITA may extend the period for reaching a preliminary determination in a CV duty investigation if it receives such a request from a petitioner 25 days or more before the scheduled date of the preliminary determination.

The petitioner's request for postponement of the preliminary determination was requested on January 4, 2008, more than 25 days before the February 1, 2008 preliminary determination due date.

Accordingly, the ITA is postponing the due date for this preliminary determination to no later than April 7, 2008.
