SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On November 18, 2024, the U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce)
initiated less-than-fair-value (LTFV) investigations of imports of
overhead door counterbalance torsion springs (overhead door springs)
from China and India.\1\ Currently, the preliminary determinations are
due no later than April 7, 2025.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ See Overhead Door Counterbalance Torsion Springs from the
People's Republic of China and India: Initiation of Less-Than-Fair-
Value Investigations, 89 FR 92895 (November 25, 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 a
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 March 4, 2025, the petitioners \2\ submitted a timely request
that Commerce postpone the preliminary determinations in these LTFV
investigations.\3\ The petitioners requested postponement to provide
Commerce with additional time to review and analyze questionnaire
responses and accurately determine antidumping duty margins.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ The petitioners are: IDC Group, Inc., Iowa Spring
Manufacturing, Inc., and Service Spring Corp.
\3\ See Petitioners' Letter, ``Petitioners' Request for
Postponement of Preliminary Determinations,'' dated March 4, 2025.
\4\ Id. at 2-4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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
determinations by 50 days (i.e., 190 days after the date on which these
investigations were initiated). As a result, Commerce will issue its
preliminary determinations no later than May 27, 2025. 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.
This notice is issued and published pursuant to section 733(c)(2)
of the Act and 19 CFR 351.205(f)(1).
Dated: March 5, 2025.
Christopher Abbott,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Policy and Negotiations, performing the
non-exclusive functions and duties of the Assistant Secretary for
Enforcement and Compliance.
