(H) I understand that {NAME OF
IMPORTING COMPANY} is required to
maintain a copy of this certification and
sufficient documentation supporting this
certification (i.e., documents maintained in
the normal course of business, or documents
obtained by the certifying party, for example,
mill certificates, production records,
invoices, etc.) for the later of (1) a period of
five years from the date of entry or (2) a
period of three years after the conclusion of
any litigation in the United States courts
regarding such entries.
(I) I understand that {NAME OF
IMPORTING COMPANY} is required to
provide this certification and supporting
records to U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) and/or the Department of
Commerce (Commerce), upon request by the
respective agency.
(J) I understand that {NAME OF
IMPORTING COMPANY} is required to
maintain a copy of the exporter’s certification
(attesting to the production and/or export of
the imported merchandise identified above),
and any supporting records provided by the
exporter to the importer, for the later of (1)
a period of five years from the date of entry
or (2) a period of three years after the
conclusion of any litigation in United States
courts regarding such entries.
(K) I understand that {NAME OF

CBP and/or Commerce.
(M) I understand that failure to maintain
the required certifications, and/or failure to

a de facto determination that all entries to
which this certification applies are within
the scope of the antidumping duty order on
diamond sawblades and parts thereof from
the People’s Republic of China. I understand
that such finding will result in:
(i) suspension of liquidation of all
unliquidated entries (and entries for which

these requirements were not met;
(ii) the requirement that the importer post
applicable antidumping duty cash deposits
(as appropriate) equal to the rates determined

knowingly and willfully make material false
statements to the U.S. government.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On July 20, 2020, the Department of
Commerce (Commerce) initiated a lessthan-fair-value (LTFV) investigation of
silicon metal from Malaysia.1 Currently,
the preliminary determination is due no
later than December 7, 2020.
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 an LTFV investigation
within 140 days of 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 October 29, 2020, Globe Specialty
Metals, Inc. and Mississippi Silicon LLC
(the petitioners) submitted a timely
request that Commerce postpone the
preliminary determination in this LTFV
investigation.2 The petitioners stated
that the postponement request is due to
the need for additional time to issue
supplemental questionnaires, and to
provide time to review and comment
upon those responses prior to the
preliminary determination. Under the
current timeline, the petitioner believes
that Commerce will not have complete
responses or sufficient information to
issue the preliminary determination.3
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 and 19 CFR 351.205(e), 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, 2020. 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.
Notification to Interested Parties
This notice is issued and published
pursuant to section 733(c)(2) of the Act
and 19 CFR 351.205(f)(1).
Dated: November 16, 2020.
