SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March 11, 2014, the Department of 
Commerce (``the Department'') published its preliminary determination

    \1\ See Ferrosilicon from the Russian Federation: Preliminary 
Determination of Sales at Not Less Than Fair Value, 79 FR 13620 
(March 11, 2014) (``Preliminary Determination'').
    \2\ The deadline for the postponement of this investigation was 
March 17, 2014. Due to the closure of the Federal Government in 
Washington, DC on March 17, 2014, the Department reached this 
determination on the next business day (i.e., March 18, 2014). See 
Notice of Clarification: Application of ``Next Business Day'' Rule 
for Administrative Determination Deadlines Pursuant to the Tariff 
Act of 1930, As Amended, 70 FR 24533 (May 10, 2005).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On March 7, 2014, CC Metals and Alloys, LLC and Globe Specialty 
Metals, Inc. (together, ``Petitioners''), requested postponement of the 
final determination pursuant to section 735(a)(2)(B) of the Act and 19 
CFR 351.210(b)(2)(i).\3\ Because the Department's preliminary 
determination in this investigation was negative and no compelling 
reason exists to deny the request, in accordance with section 
735(a)(2)(B) of the Act, 19 CFR 351.210(b)(2)(i), and 19 CFR 
351.210(e), the Department is granting the request and postponing the 
final determination until not later than 135 days after the publication 
of the Preliminary Determination in the Federal Register. The 60 day 
extension from the current deadline of May 25, 2014, results in a new 
deadline of July 24, 2014, for the final determination in this 
investigation.
