SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Postponement of Preliminary Determinations

    On January 29, 2014, the Department of Commerce (the 
``Department'') published a notice of initiation of antidumping duty 
investigations of certain crystalline silicon photovoltaic products 
from the PRC and and Taiwan.\1\ The notice of initiation stated that 
the Department, in accordance with section 733(b)(1)(A) of the Tariff 
Act of 1930, as amended (the ``Act''), and 19 CFR 351.205(b)(1), would 
issue its preliminary determinations for these investigations, unless 
postponed, no later than 140 days after the date of the initiation. The 
preliminary determinations of these antidumping duty investigations are 
currently due no later than June 11, 2014.

the People's Republic of China and Taiwan: Initiation of Antidumping 
Duty Investigations, 79 FR 4661 (January 29, 2014).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Pursuant to section 733(c)(1)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 
351.205(b)(2), the Department concludes that the parties involved in 
these investigations are cooperating and determines that these 
investigations are extraordinarily complicated by reason of the number 
and complexity of the transactions to be investigated and adjustments 
to be considered and the number of firms whose activities must be 
investigated. Therefore, in accordance with section 733(c)(1)(B) of the 
Act, the Department determines that it is appropriate to postpone the 
preliminary determinations in these investigations. Specifically, the 
Department determines that a 43-day postponement of the preliminary 
determinations is needed in order to provide the Department with 
sufficient time to review and analyze questionnaire responses and issue 
appropriate requests for clarification and additional information.
    For the reasons stated above, the Department, in accordance with 
section 733(c)(1)(B) of the Act, is postponing the deadline for the 
preliminary determinations to no later than 183 days after the date on 
which the Department initiated these investigations. Therefore, the new 
deadline for issuing these preliminary determinations is July 24, 2014. 
In accordance with section

[[Page 30085]]

735(a)(1) of the Act, the deadline for the final determinations of 
these investigations will continue to be 75 days after the date of the 
preliminary determinations, unless postponed at a later date.
    This notice is issued and published pursuant to section 733(c)(2) 
of the Act and 19 CFR 351.205(f)(1).

    Dated: May 16, 2014.
Ronald K. Lorentzen,
Acting Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
