A-533-928 and C-533-929, respectively, has extended the deadlines for issuance of its preliminary decisions in both cases, reports the Ceramic Tile Distributors Association.

The deadline for the issuance of the ITA's Preliminary Determination in the countervailing duty investigation of ceramic tile from India is now September 23, extended by one week from the prior September 16, deadline by ITA, attributable to summer computer glitches at the agency. The current deadline for the issuance of the ITA's preliminary antidumping determination is October 3, extended by the agency seven calendar days from the initial due date of September 26th due to the same computer problems.
