On September 22, 2014, the Department of Commerce ("Department") published a notice initiating an antidumping duty investigation of boltless steel shelving units prepackaged for sale from the People's Republic of China ("PRC").1Section 733(b)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended ("the Act"), and 19 CFR 351.205(b)(1) state that the Department will make a preliminary determination no later than 140 days after the date of the initiation ( i.e., September 15, 2014). Accordingly, the preliminary determination of this antidumping duty investigation is currently due no later than February 2, 2015.

On January 5, 2015, Edsal Manufacturing Co., Inc. ("Petitioner"), made a timely request, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.205(e), for postponement of the preliminary determination, in order to facilitate the Department's analysis of respondents' questionnaire responses and interested parties' surrogate value data submissions. Because there are no compelling reasons to deny the request, in accordance with section 733(c)(1)(A) of the Act, the Department is postponing the deadline for the preliminary determination by 50 days.2
