(collectively, the petitioners), made timely requests pursuant to section 733(c)(1)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.205(e), for a 50-day postponement of the preliminary determinations in these investigations in order to provide the Department with sufficient time to review submissions and request supplemental information, in order to arrive at the most accurate results possible. 3 No other parties commented. 3 *See* the letters from the petitioners to the Secretary of Commerce entitled, “Finished Carbon Steel Flanges from India: Request to Postpone Preliminary Determination,” dated October 31, 2016; “Finished Carbon Steel Flanges from Italy: Request to Postpone Preliminary Determination,” dated October 31, 2016; “Finished Carbon Steel Flanges from Spain: Request to Postpone Preliminary Determination,” dated October 31, 2016.
