SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On May 16, 2024, the U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce)
initiated a less-than-fair-value (LTFV) investigation of imports of
Certain High Chrome Cast Iron Grinding Media (Grinding Media) from
India.\1\ On July 22, 2024, Commerce tolled certain deadlines in this
investigation by seven days.\2\ Currently, the preliminary
determination is due no later than October 10, 2024.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ See Certain High Chrome Cast Iron Grinding Media from India:
Initiation of Less-Than-Fair-Value Investigation, 89 FR 45630 (May
23, 2024).
\2\ See Memorandum, ``Tolling of Deadlines for Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Proceedings,'' dated July 22, 2024.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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)(A)(b)(1) of the
Act permits Commerce to postpone the preliminary determination until no
later than 190 days after the date on
[[Page 73367]]
which Commerce initiated the investigation if: (A) the petitioner \3\
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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ The petitioner is Magotteaux Inc.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On August 13, 2024, the petitioner submitted a timely request that
Commerce postpone the preliminary determination in the LTFV
investigation.\4\ The petitioner requested postponement of the
preliminary determination because it believes that Commerce requires
more time to review questionnaire responses and address any
deficiencies.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ See Petitioner's Letter, ``Request to Extend the Preliminary
Determination,'' dated August 13, 2024.
\5\ Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
For the reason 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 this
investigation was initiated). As a result, Commerce will issue its
preliminary determinations no later than November 29, 2024.\6\ In
accordance with section 735(a)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.210(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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ This deadline has been tolled by seven days. See footnote 2,
supra.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
This notice is issued and published pursuant to section 733(c)(2)
of the Act and 19 CFR 351.205(f)(1).
Dated: September 3, 2024.
