SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Postponement of Preliminary Determination

    On July 20, 2009, the Department of Commerce (the ``Department'') 
initiated the antidumping duty investigation of Certain Woven Electric 
Blankets from the People's Republic of China. See Certain Woven 
Electric Blankets From the People's Republic of China: Initiation of 
Antidumping Duty Investigation, 74 FR 37001 (July 27, 2009) 
(``Initiation Notice''). The Initiation Notice stated that, 
``{i{time} n accordance with section 733(b)(1)(A) of the Act, unless 
postponed, we will make our preliminary determination no later than 140 
days after the date of this initiation.'' Id. at 37004.
    On November 5, 2009, the petitioner made a timely request pursuant 
to 19 CFR 351.205(e) for a 50-day postponement of the preliminary 
determination in this investigation. The petitioner requested 
postponement of the preliminary determination because ``the number of 
factors of production is usually high in this case and will require 
additional time to research and analyze''. There are no compelling 
reasons to deny the petitioner's request. Therefore, the Department is 
postponing this preliminary determination under section 733 (c) (1)(A) 
of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the ``Act'') by 50 days from 
December 7, 2009 to January 26, 2010. The deadline for the final 
determination will continue to be 75 days after the date of the 
preliminary determination, unless extended.
    This notice is issued and published pursuant to sections 733(c) (2) 
and

777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.205(f)(1).

    Dated: November 16, 2009.

Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Courtervailing 
Duty Operations.
