ITA Postpones Prelim CV Determination to Oct 11

The ITA has determined that the investigation is extraordinary complicated, as it 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; therefore, the ITA is fully extending the due date for the preliminary determination to no later than October 11, 2011.
