SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On February 7, 2023, the U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce)
initiated less-than-fair-value (LTFV) investigations of imports of tin
mill products from Canada, China, Germany, the Netherlands, Korea,
Taiwan, Turkey, and the United Kingdom.\1\ Currently, the preliminary
determinations are due no later than June 27, 2023.

China, Germany, the Netherlands, the Republic of Korea, Taiwan, the
Republic of Turkey, and the United Kingdom: Initiation of Less-Than-
Fair-Value Investigations, 88 FR 9481 (February 14, 2023).

Postponement of Preliminary Determinations
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 May 18, 2023, the petitioners \2\ submitted a timely request
that Commerce postpone the preliminary determinations in the LTFV
investigations of imports of tin mill products from Canada, China,
Germany, the Netherlands, Korea, Taiwan, Turkey, and the United
Kingdom. The petitioners stated that ``{p{time} ostponement is
warranted so that Commerce can evaluate fully the initial questionnaire
responses submitted by the mandatory respondents and solicit
supplemental information as necessary,'' and the petitioners ``seek
postponement of all the antidumping investigations in order to keep
them on the same schedule and avoid the need to split the cases at the
International Trade Commission.'' \3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ The petitioners are Cleveland-Cliffs Inc. and the United
Steel, Paper and Forestry, Rubber, Manufacturing, Energy, Allied
Industrial and Service Workers International Union.
\3\ See Petitioners' Letter, ``Request for Postponement of the
Preliminary Determinations,'' dated May 18, 2023.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
For the reasons stated above and because there are no compelling
reasons to deny the request, in accordance with section 733(c)(1)(A) of
the Act and 19 CFR 351.205(e), Commerce is postponing the deadline for
the preliminary determinations by 50 days (i.e., to 190 days after the
date on which these investigations were initiated). As a result,
Commerce will issue its preliminary determinations in the above-
referenced investigations no later than August 16, 2023. In accordance
with section 735(a)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.210(b)(1), the
deadline for the final determinations of 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: May 24, 2023.
Abdelali Elouaradia,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
