SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On August 6, 2024, the U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce)
initiated a less-than-fair-value (LTFV) investigation on imports of
certain tungsten shot (tungsten shot) from the People's Republic of
China (China).\1\ Currently, the Commerce is due to issue the
preliminary determination in this investigation no later than December
24, 2024.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ See Certain Tungsten Shot from the People's Republic of
China: Initiation of Less-Than-Fair-Value Investigation, 89 FR 65856
(August 13, 2024).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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)(A)(b)(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 November 6, 2024, the petitioner \2\ submitted a timely request
that Commerce postpone the preliminary determination in the LTFV
investigation.\3\ The petitioner stated that it requests postponement
to allow Commerce adequate time to conduct a thorough analysis in this
investigation and collect the necessary information for determining the
most accurate possible antidumping duty margins.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ The petitioner is Tungsten Parts Wyoming, Inc.
\3\ See Petitioner's Letter, ``Request to Postpone Preliminary
Determination,'' dated November 6, 2024.
\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 this
investigation was initiated). As a result, Commerce will issue its
[[Page 90266]]
preliminary determination no later than February 12, 2025. 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.
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: November 8, 2024.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
