SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On February 1, 2022, the U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce)
initiated a less-than-fair-value investigation of imports of barium
chloride from India.\1\ Currently the preliminary determination is due
no later than June 21, 2022.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ See Barium Chloride from India: Initiation of Less-Than-
Fair-Value Investigation, 87 FR 7100 (February 8, 2022).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Postponement of Preliminary Determination
Section 733(b)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930 (as amended) (the
Act) requires Commerce to issue the preliminary determination in an
LTFV investigation within 140 days after the date on which Commerce
initiated the investigation. However, section 733(c)(1) of the Act
permits Commerce to postpone the preliminary determination until no
later than 190 days after the date on which Commerce initiated the
investigation if: (A) The petitioner makes a timely request for a
postponement; or (B) Commerce concludes that the parties concerned are
cooperating, that the investigation is extraordinarily complicated, and
that additional time is necessary to make a preliminary determination.
Under 19 CFR 351.205(e), the petitioner must submit a request for
postponement 25 days or more before the scheduled date of the
preliminary determination and must state the reasons for the request.
Commerce will grant the request unless it finds compelling reasons to
deny the request.
On April 22, 2022, the petitioner \2\ submitted a timely request
that Commerce postpone the preliminary determination in this LTFV
investigation.\3\ The petitioner stated that it requests postponement
because Commerce is still collecting information from the respondent,
and the petitioner will need additional time to review the responses
and prepare comments for Commerce's consideration.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ The petitioner is Chemical Products Corporation.
\3\ See Petitioner's Letter, ``Antidumping Investigation of
Barium Chloride from India: Petitioner's Request for Extension of
Preliminary Determination,'' dated April 22, 2022.
\4\ Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
For the reasons stated above and because there are no compelling
reasons to deny the request, Commerce, in accordance with section
733(c)(1)(A) of the Act, is postponing the deadline for the preliminary
determination by 50 days (i.e., 190 days after the date on which the
investigation was initiated). As a result, Commerce will issue its
preliminary determination no later than August 10, 2022. In accordance
with section 735(a)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.201(b)(1), 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.
Notification to Interested Parties
This notice is issued and published pursuant to section 733(c)(2)
of the Act and 19 CFR 351.205(f)(1).
Dated: May 16, 2022.
Lisa W. Wang,
Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
