Background
On April 23, 2024, Commerce initiated an LTFV investigation of
imports of epoxy resins from China.\1\ The period of investigation is

published its Preliminary Determination of sales at LTFV of epoxy
resins from China.\2\

China, India, the Republic of Korea, Taiwan, and Thailand:
Initiation of Less-Than-Fair-Value Investigations, 89 FR 33324
(April 29, 2024).
\2\ See Certain Epoxy Resins from the People's Republic of
China: Preliminary Affirmative Determination of Sales at Less Than
Fair Value and Preliminary Affirmative Determination of Critical
Circumstances, 89 FR 89594 (November 13, 2024) (Preliminary
Determination).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Postponement of Final Determination
Section 735(a)(2) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act),
and 19 CFR 351.210(b)(2) provide that a final determination may be
postponed until not later than 135 days after the date of the
publication of the preliminary determination if, in the event of an
affirmative preliminary determination, a request for such postponement
is made by the exporters or producers who account for a significant
proportion of exports of the subject merchandise, or in the event of a
negative preliminary determination, a request for such postponement is
made by the petitioners. Further, 19 CFR 351.210(e)(2) requires that
such postponement requests by exporters be accompanied by a request for
extension of provisional measures from a four-month period to a period
of not more than six months, in accordance with section 733(d) of the
Act.
On November 18, 2024, Huntsman Advanced Materials (Guangdong)
Company Ltd. (Huntsman), the mandatory respondent in this
investigation, requested that Commerce postpone the deadline for the
final determination until no later than 135 days from the publication
of the Preliminary Determination, and extend the application of the
provisional measures from a four-month period to a period of not more
than six months.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ See Huntsman's Letter, ``Request to Postpone Final
Determination,'' dated November 18, 2024.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In accordance with section 735(a)(2)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.210(b)(2)(ii), because: (1) the Preliminary Determination was
affirmative; (2) the request was made by an exporter or producer who
accounts for a significant proportion of exports of the subject
merchandise; and (3) no compelling reasons for denial exist, Commerce
is postponing the final determination until no later than 135 days
after the date of the publication of the Preliminary Determination, and
extending the provisional measures from a four-month period to a period
of not more than six months. Accordingly, Commerce will issue its final
determination no later than March 28, 2025.
Notification to Interested Parties
This notice is issued and published pursuant to section 735(a)(2)
of the Act and 19 CFR 351.210(g).
