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)(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.
On November 2, 2020, the petitioners
submitted a timely request that
Commerce postpone the preliminary
determination in the LTFV
investigation.3 The petitioners stated
that their requested postponement ‘‘will
permit the agency to issue supplemental
questionnaires to Aceromex, S.A. de
C.V. (Aceromex) to clarify its initial
responses and to accurately determine
the magnitude of dumping that occurred
during the period of investigation.’’ 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 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
January 26, 2021. In accordance with
section 735(a)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.210(b)(1), the deadline for the final
determination of 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).
2 The petitioners are Insteel Industries, Inc.; Mid
South Wire Company; National Wire LLC;
Oklahoma Steel & Wire Co.; and Wire Mesh Corp.
