SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On April 9, 2025, the U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce)
initiated a less-than-fair-value (LTFV) investigation of imports of
fiberglass door panels from the People's Republic of China.\1\
Currently, the preliminary determination is due no later than August
27, 2025.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ See Fiberglass Door Panels from the People's Republic of
China: Initiation of Less-Than-Fair-Value Investigation, 90 FR 15684
(April 15, 2025), as corrected in Less-Than-Fair Value and
Countervailing Duty Investigations of Fiberglass Door Panels and
Polypropylene Corrugated Boxes from the People's Republic of China;
Correction, 90 FR 21455 (May 20, 2025).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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) 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 July 30, 2025, the petitioner \2\ submitted a timely request
that Commerce postpone the preliminary determination in the LTFV
investigation.\3\ The petitioner stated that it requested postponement
to ``allow {Commerce{time} to issue supplemental questionnaires and
receive responses prior to making its preliminary AD determination''
\4\ and because ``this is the first time {Commerce{time} has examined
this product.'' \5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ The petitioner is the American Fiberglass Door Coalition.
\3\ See Petitioner's Letter, ``Request for an Extension of the
Preliminary Results,'' dated July 30, 2025.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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
preliminary determination no later than October 16, 2025. In accordance
with section 735(a)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.210(b)(1), the
deadline for the final determination in this investigation will
continue to be 75 days after the date of the preliminary determination,
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: August 6, 2025.
Abdelali Elouaradia,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
