ITA Postpones CV Preliminary Determination to September 8th

The ITA finds that this case is extraordinarily complicated by reason of the number and complexity of the alleged countervailable subsidy practices, the need to determine the extent to which particular countervailable subsidies are used by individual manufacturers, producers, and exporters, and the number of firms whose activities must be investigated.

Accordingly, the ITA is fully extending the due date for the preliminary determination to no later than September 8, 2009, the first business day 130 days after the investigation was initiated.

(See ITT's Online Archives or 05/06/09 news, 09050640, for BP summary of the ITA's initiation of this CV duty investigation.)
