SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On April 20, 2022, the U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce)
initiated the less-than-fair-value (LTFV) investigations of imports of
certain preserved mushrooms from the Netherlands, Poland, and Spain.\1\
Currently, the preliminary determinations are due no later than
September 7, 2022.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ See Certain Preserved Mushrooms from France, the
Netherlands, Poland, and Spain: Initiation of Less-Than-Fair-Value
Investigations, 87 FR 24941 (April 27, 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 August 8, 2022, Giorgio Foods, Inc. (the petitioner) submitted a
timely request that Commerce postpone the preliminary determinations in
the LTFV investigations for the Netherlands, Poland, and Spain.\2\ The
petitioner stated that it requests postponement due to concerns that
Commerce will need more time to issue supplemental questionnaires to
address deficiencies in the respondents' initial questionnaire
responses.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ See Petitioner's Letter, ``Less-Than-Fair-Value
Investigations of Certain Preserved Mushrooms from Netherlands,
Poland, and Spain--Petitioner's Request for Postponement of
Preliminary Antidumping Determinations,'' dated August 8, 2022.
\3\ Id. at 2.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
For the reasons stated above, and because there are no compelling
reasons to deny the request, Commerce, in
[[Page 50291]]
accordance with section 733(c)(1)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.205(e),
is postponing the deadline for the preliminary determinations for the
Netherlands, Poland, and Spain by 50 days (i.e., 190 days after the
date on which these investigations were initiated). As a result,
Commerce will issue its preliminary determinations no later than
October 27, 2022. In accordance with section 735(a)(1) of the Act and
19 CFR 351.210(b)(1), the deadline for the final determinations in
these investigations will continue to be 75 days after the date of the
preliminary determinations, 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: August 10, 2022.
Lisa W. Wang,
Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
