SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On April 27, 2010, the Department of Commerce (the Department) 
published in the Federal Register a notice of initiation of the 
countervailing duty investigation of aluminum extrusions from the 
People's Republic of China. See Aluminum Extrusions From the People's 
Republic of China: Initiation of Countervailing Duty Investigation, 75 
FR 22114 (April 27, 2010). On May 11, 2010, petitioners requested, in 
accordance with section 703(c)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 
amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 351 205(b)(2), a 65-day postponement of 
the preliminary determination.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Petitioners are Aerolite Extrusion Company, Alexandria 
Extrusion Company, Benada Aluminum of Florida, Inc., William L. 
Bonnell Company, Inc., Frontier Aluminum Corporation, Futura 
Industries Corporation, Hydro Aluminum North America, Inc., Kaiser 
Aluminum Corporation, Profile Extrusion Company, Sapa Extrusions, 
Inc., and Western Extrusions Corporation.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Postponement of Due Date for Preliminary Determination

    Section 703(b)(1) of the Act requires the Department to issue the 
preliminary determination in a countervailing duty investigation within 
65 days after the date on which the Department initiated the 
investigation. However, the Department may postpone, at petitioners' 
timely request, making the preliminary determination until no later 
than 130 days after the date on which the administering authority 
initiated the investigation. See section 703(c)(1)(A) of the Act.
    Petitioners' request for a 65-day postponement of the preliminary 
determination was made 25 days before the scheduled date of the 
preliminary determination, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.205(e). Therefore, in 
accordance with section 703(c)(1)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 
351.205(b)(2), we are fully extending the due date for the preliminary 
determination to no later than 130 days after the day on which the 
investigation was initiated. The deadline for completion of the 
preliminary determination is now August 28, 2010. Because that date 
falls on a weekend, the deadline for completion of this preliminary 
determination is the next business day, i.e., August 30, 2010.
    This notice is issued and published pursuant to section 703(c)(2) 
of the Act.

    Dated: June 15, 2010.
Paul Piquado,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
