Postponement of Preliminary Antidumping Duty Determinations

The ITA states that it is taking this action for the reasons identified by the petitioners, and because there are no compelling reasons to deny the request.

The ITA notes that the deadline for the final AD duty determinations in these investigations will continue to be 75 days after the date of the preliminary determinations, unless extended.
