ITA Postpones CV Preliminary Determination to October 24th
The ITA states that it is currently investigating a number of complex alleged subsidy programs, including various loan programs, grants, income tax incentives, and the provision of goods and services for less than adequate remuneration.
Due to the number and complexity of the alleged subsidy programs being investigated, the ITA finds that this investigation is extraordinarily complicated and that additional time is necessary to make the preliminary determination.
Therefore, it 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. The deadline for completion of the preliminary determination is now October 24, 2009.
(See ITT's Online Archives or 06/23/09 news, 09062345, for BP summary of the ITA's initiation of this CV duty investigation and the companion antidumping duty investigation.)
