ITA Finds Complexity of Subsidy Practices Requires Extension of Time Limit
The ITA explains that, thus far, the parties concerned are cooperating, and due to the complexity of the alleged countervailable subsidy practices being investigated, which include provision of goods or services for less than adequate remuneration and government restraints on exports, it is not practicable to complete the preliminary determination of this investigation within the original time limit (i.e., August 31, 2007).
Therefore, the ITA is fully extending the due date for the preliminary determination to no later than 130 days after the day on which the investigation was initiated, which is November 5, 2007 (the next business day).
