2 The deadline for the postponement of this investigation was March 17, 2014. Due to the closure of the Federal Government in Washington, DC on March 17, 2014, the Department reached this determination on the next business day ( i.e., March 18, 2014). See Notice of Clarification: Application of "Next Business Day" Rule for Administrative Determination Deadlines Pursuant to the Tariff Act of 1930, As Amended, 70 FR 24533 (May 10, 2005).
On March 7, 2014, CC Metals and Alloys, LLC and Globe Specialty Metals, Inc. (together, "Petitioners"), requested postponement of the final determination pursuant to section 735(a)(2)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.210(b)(2)(i).3Because the Department's preliminary determination in this investigation was negative and no compelling reason exists to deny the request, in accordance with section 735(a)(2)(B) of the Act, 19 CFR 351.210(b)(2)(i), and 19 CFR 351.210(e), the Department is granting the request and postponing the final determination until not later than 135 days after the publication of the Preliminary Determination in the Federal Register . The 60 day extension from the current deadline of May 25, 2014, results in a new deadline of July 24, 2014, for the final determination in this investigation.
