Postponement of Preliminary Determination

    Section 733(b)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 
Act), and 19 CFR 351.205(b)(1) require the Department to issue the 
preliminary determination in an AD investigation no later than 140 days 
after the date on which the Department initiated the investigation.
    Pursuant to section 733(c)(1)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 
351.205(b)(2), the Department concludes that because of the 
extraordinary complexity of this case and the number of firms whose 
activities we must investigate, including over 80 separate rate 
applications, it is not practicable to complete the preliminary 
determination by the current deadline. Therefore, in accordance with 
section 733(c)(1)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.205(b)(2), the 
Department is postponing the deadline for the preliminary determination 
to no later than 190 days after the date on which it initiated this 
investigation. As a result of this postponement, the deadline for 
completion of the preliminary determination is now January 20, 2015.
    This notice is issued and published pursuant to section 733(c)(2) 
of the Act and 19 CFR 351.205(f)(1).

    Dated: October 3, 2014.

Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
