SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On April 29, 2026, the U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce)
initiated the less-than-fair-value (LTFV) investigations of imports of
tin mill products from Taiwan and T[uuml]rkiye.\1\ Currently, the
preliminary determinations are due no later than September 16, 2026.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ See Tin Mill Products from The People's Republic of China,
Taiwan, and the Republic of T[uuml]rkiye: Initiation of Less-Than-
Fair-Value Investigations, 91 FR 24157 (May 5, 2026).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 \2\ 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ The petitioners are United States Steel Corporation and
United Steel, Paper and Forestry, Rubber, Manufacturing, Energy,
Allied Industrial and Service Workers Union.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On July 29, 2026, the petitioners submitted a timely request that
Commerce postpone the preliminary determinations in these LTFV
investigations.\3\ The petitioners stated that it requests postponement
in order to allow for sufficient time to analyze and comment on
responses submitted on behalf of the company selected for individual
examination in this review and to ensure Commerce has sufficient time
to develop a comprehensive record of in this investigation.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ See Petitioners' Letters, ``Tin Mill Products from Turkey:
Request to Extend the Deadline for the Prelimnary Determination,''
dated July 29, 2026; ``Tin Mill Products from Taiwan: Request to
Extend the Deadline for the Preliminary Determination,'' dated July
29, 2026.
\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
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 November 5, 2026. 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: August 4, 2026.
Christopher Abbott,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Policy and Negotiations performing the
non-exclusive functions and duties of the Assistant Secretary for
Enforcement and Compliance.
