ITA Postpones Prelim CV Determination to March 21
The ITA finds that additional time is required because the number of alleged manufacturers, producers, and exporters listed in the petition has complicated the ITA’s selection of the firms to individually investigate.
Moreover, since the initiation notice, the ITA has concluded it cannot use U.S. Customs and Border Protection data for respondent selection. Rather, it is appropriate to solicit information about the quantity and value of subject merchandise sales from the firms named in the petition. Therefore, respondent selection is extraordinarily complicated due to the large number of companies from which the ITA is gathering quantity and value information.
Thus, the ITA is extending the due date for the preliminary CV duty determination to no later than 130 days after the day on which the investigation was initiated, to March 21, 2011.
