SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On July 10, 2024, the U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce)
initiated less-than-fair-value (LTFV) investigations of certain brake
drums (brake drums) from T[uuml]rkiye and China.\1\ On July 22, 2024,
Commerce tolled certain deadlines in this administrative proceeding by
seven days.\2\ The deadline for the preliminary determinations is now
December 4, 2024.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ See Certain Brake Drums from the Republic of T[uuml]rkiye
and the People's Republic of China: Initiation of Less-Than-Fair-
Value Investigations, 89 FR 58166 (July 17, 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
[[Page 91676]]
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 November 7, 2024, Webb Wheel Products, Inc. (the petitioner)
submitted a timely request that Commerce postpone the preliminary
determinations in the LTFV investigations of brake drums from
T[uuml]rkiye and China.\3\ The petitioner requested postponement of the
preliminary determinations in these investigations so that Commerce can
fully analyze the forthcoming questionnaire responses of the mandatory
respondents and issue supplemental questionnaires, as necessary.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ See Petitioner's Letter, ``Request to Extend the Deadline
for the Preliminary Determination,'' dated November 7, 2024.
\4\ Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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. As a result, Commerce will
issue its preliminary determinations no later than January 23, 2025. 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 further.
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 13, 2024.
Abdelali Elouaradia,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
