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
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 20, 2020, the
petitioners 2 submitted a timely request
that Commerce postpone the
preliminary determination in the LTFV
investigation.3 The petitioners state that
a postponement is necessary to provide
Commerce with adequate time to collect
and analyze questionnaire responses
from Zhejiang Xingyi Metal Products
Co., Ltd. (Zhejiang Xingyi) and
Hangzhou Xline Machinery &
Equipment Co., Ltd. (Hangzhou Xline),
review data to identify deficiencies, and
to fully investigate the extent to which
Zhejiang Xingyi and Hangzhou Xline
have engaged in less-than-fair-value
sales of the subject merchandise based
on a comprehensive preliminary
record.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
February 4, 2020. 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).
Dated: November 24, 2020.
