SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Postponement of Preliminary Determination

    On January 14, 2014, the Department of Commerce (``Department'') 
published a notice initiating an antidumping duty investigation of 
calcium hypochlorite from the People's Republic of China.\1\ The notice 
of initiation inadvertently stated that the Department, in accordance 
with section 733(b)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the

[[Page 25571]]

Act'') and 19 CFR 351.205(b)(1), unless postponed, will issue its 
preliminary determination no later than 140 days after the publication 
date of this initiation, instead of the date of initiation. Section 
733(b)(1)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.205(b)(1) states that the 
Department will make a preliminary determination no later than 140 days 
after the date of the initiation (i.e., January 7, 2014), not 140 days 
after the publication date of the initiation. Accordingly, the 
preliminary determination of this antidumping duty investigation is 
currently due no later than May 27, 2014.

China: Initiation of Antidumping Duty Investigation, 79 FR 2410 
(January 14, 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 
this investigation are cooperating and determines that this case is 
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. The 
Department determines that a 50-day postponement of the preliminary 
determination 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 determination to no later than 190 days after the date on 
which the Department initiated this investigation. Therefore, the new 
deadline for the preliminary determination is July 16, 2014. In 
accordance with section 735(a)(1) of the Act, the deadline for the 
final determination of this investigation will continue to be 75 days 
after the date of the preliminary determination, 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: April 28, 2014.
Paul Piquado,
Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
