SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On June 10, 2004, the Department published the initiation of 
antidumping duty investigations of chlorinated isos from the PRC and 
Spain. See Initiation of Antidumping Duty Investigations: Chlorinated 
Isocyanurates From the People's Republic of China and Spain, 69 FR 
32,488 (June 10, 2004). This notice stated that the Department would 
issue its preliminary determinations no later than 140 days after the 
date of initiation, which is October 21, 2004.

Postponement of Preliminary Determinations

    Pursuant to section 733(c)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 
amended (the Act), the petitioner may request a postponement from 140 
days to not later than 190 days after the initiation of an 
investigation. A written request, including reasons for the 
postponement, may be submitted to the Department at least 25 days prior 
to the preliminary determination.
    On September 16, 2004, Clearon Corporation and Occidental Chemical 
Corporation, the petitioners to these proceedings, made timely requests 
pursuant to section 733(c)(1)(A) of the Act and 19 C.F.R. 351.205(e) 
for postponement of the preliminary determinations in both 
investigations for 50 days or until December 10, 2004. The petitioners 
requested postponement of the preliminary determinations so that the 
petitioners and the Department can analyze more fully the information 
that has been submitted in these investigations, as well as analyze 
information that is due to be filed in early October. There are no 
compelling reasons for the Department to deny these requests.
    Therefore, for the reasons identified by the petitioners, and 
pursuant to section 733(c)(1)(A) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.205(e), the 
Department is postponing the deadline for issuing the preliminary 
determinations until December 10, 2004. The deadline for the final 
determinations will continue to be 75 days after the date of the 
preliminary determinations, unless extended.
    This notice of postponement is in accordance with section 733(c)(2) 
of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.205(f)(1).

    Dated: October 1, 2004.
James J. Jochum,
Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
