ITA Postpones Prelim CV Determination to Aug 29

The ITA has determined that the parties involved in the proceeding are cooperating and that the investigation is extraordinarily complicated. Specifically, the ITA is currently investigating alleged subsidy programs involving loans, grants, income tax incentives, and the provision of goods or services for less than adequate remuneration.

Due to the number and complexity of the alleged countervailable subsidy practices being investigated, it is not practicable to complete the preliminary determination of this investigation within the original time limit (i.e., by June 23, 2011). Therefore, the ITA is fully extending the due date for the preliminary determination to no later than August 29, 2011 (extended from June 23, 2011).
