    Background: The Department of Commerce (``the Department'')

the preliminary determination in the antidumping duty investigation of 
hardwood and decorative plywood from the People's Republic of China.\1\

Republic of China: Antidumping Duty Investigation, 78 FR 25946 (May 
3, 2013) (``Preliminary Determination'').

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Correction of Federal Register Notice

    The Preliminary Determination listed the combination rates for the 
respondents which were found to be eligible for a separate rate in this 
investigation. The Department inadvertently failed to list one supplier 
for Jiaxing Gsun Imp. & Exp. Co., Ltd. which should have received a 
separate rate.\2\ The combination rate which should have been included 
in the Preliminary Determination is listed below. This combination is 
in addition to the rates which were published in the Preliminary 
Determination and does not replace any previously published combination 
rates. Additionally, the Department will issue instructions to Customs 
and Border Protection correcting the suspension of liquidation 
instructions that were issued pursuant to the publication of the 
Preliminary Determination to include the below combination rate.

Postponement of the Final Determination

    The Preliminary Determination stated that the Department would 
issue its final determination no later than 75 days after the date of 
publication of the Preliminary Determination, in accordance with 
section 773(a)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the Act''). 
The final determination is currently due no later than July 17, 2013.
    On April 3, 2013, Xuzhou Jiangyang Wood Industries Co. Ltd, and 
Xuzhou Jiangheng Wood Products Co. Ltd, and Linyi San Fortune Wood Co. 
Ltd (collectively, ``Respondents''), requested, pursuant to 19 CFR 
351.210(b), a postponement of the final determination and an extension 
of provisional measures.\3\ In accordance with sections 733(d) and 735 
(a)(2)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.210(b)(2)(ii) and (e), because (1) 
our preliminary determination is affirmative, (2) the requesting 
exporters account for a significant proportion of exports of the 
subject merchandise, and (3) no compelling reasons for denial exist, we 
are granting the requests and are postponing the final determination 
until no later than 135 days after the publication of the Preliminary 
Determination. Suspension of liquidation will be extended accordingly.
