Provisional Measures—CVD
Section 703(d) of the Act states that
the suspension of liquidation pursuant
to an affirmative preliminary
determination may not remain in effect
for more than four months. Commerce
published the CVD Preliminary
Determination on July 13, 2020.9 As
such, the four-month period beginning
on the date of the publication of the
CVD Preliminary Determination ended
on November 9, 2020. Furthermore,
section 707(b) of the Act states that
definitive duties are to begin on the date
of publication of the ITC’s final injury
determination.
Therefore, in accordance with section
703(d) of the Act, we instructed CBP to
terminate the suspension of liquidation
and to liquidate, without regard to
countervailing duties, unliquidated
entries of corrosion inhibitors from
China entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption, on or after
November 10, 2020, the date on which
the provisional measures expired, until
and through the day preceding the date
of publication of the ITC’s final injury
determination in the Federal Register.
Suspension of liquidation will resume
on the date of publication of the ITC’s
final determination in the Federal
Register.

Scope of the Orders
The merchandise covered by these orders
is tolyltriazole and benzotriazole. This
includes tolyltriazole and benzotriazole of all
grades and forms, including their sodium salt
forms. Tolyltriazole is technically known as
Tolyltriazole IUPAC 4,5 methyl
benzotriazole. It can also be identified as 4,5
methyl benzotriazole, tolutriazole, TTA, and
TTZ.
Benzotriazole is technically known as
IUPAC 1,2,3-Benzotriazole. It can also be
identified as 1,2,3-Benzotriazole, 1,2Aminozophenylene, lH-Benzotriazole, and
BTA.
All forms of tolyltriazole and
benzotriazole, including but not limited to
flakes, granules, pellets, prills, needles,
powder, or liquids, are included within the
scope of these orders.
The scope includes tolyltriazole/sodium
tolyltriazole and benzotriazole/sodium
benzotriazole that are combined or mixed
with other products. For such combined
products, only the tolyltriazole/sodium
tolyltriazole and benzotriazole/sodium
benzotriazole component is covered by the
scope of these orders. Tolyltriazole and
sodium tolyltriazole that have been
combined with other products is included
within the scope, regardless of whether the
combining occurs in third countries.
Tolyltriazole, sodium tolyltriazole,
benzotriazole and sodium benzotriazole that
is otherwise subject to these orders is not
excluded when commingled with
tolyltriazole, sodium tolyltriazole,
benzotriazole, or sodium benzotriazole from
sources not subject to these orders. Only the
subject merchandise component of such
commingled products is covered by the scope
of these orders.
A combination or mixture is excluded from
these orders if the total tolyltriazole or
benzotriazole component of the combination
or mixture (regardless of the source or
sources) comprises less than 5 percent of the
combination or mixture, on a dry weight
basis.
Notwithstanding the foregoing language, a
tolyltriazole or benzotriazole combination or
mixture that is transformed through a
chemical reaction into another product, such
that, for example, the tolyltriazole or
benzotriazole can no longer be separated
from the other products through a distillation
or other process is excluded from these
orders.
Tolyltriazole has the Chemical Abstracts
Service (CAS) registry number 299385–43–1.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
AGENCY:
Background
On February 16, 2021, the Department
of Commerce (Commerce) initiated
countervailing duty (CVD)
investigations of imports of granular
polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) resin
from India and Russia.1 Currently, the
preliminary determinations are due no
later than April 22, 2021.
Postponement of Preliminary
Determinations
Section 703(b)(1) of the Tariff Act of
1930, as amended (the Act), requires
Commerce to issue the preliminary
determination in a CVD investigation
within 65 days after the date on which
Commerce initiated the investigation.
However, section 703(c)(1) of the Act
1 See Granular Polytetrafluoroethylene Resin from
India and the Russian Federation: Initiation of
Countervailing Duty Investigations, 86 FR 10931

E:\FR\FM\19MRN1.SGM

Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 52 / Friday, March 19, 2021 / Notices
permits Commerce to postpone the
preliminary determination until no later
than 130 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 March 9, 2021, the petitioner
submitted a timely request that
Commerce postpone the preliminary
determinations of the CVD
investigations of granular PTFE resin
from India and Russia.3 The petitioner
stated that it requests postponement ‘‘to
allow Commerce to fully analyze
respondents’ questionnaire responses,
and any other filings such as new
subsidy allegations and benchmark
factual information, prior to the
preliminary determination.’’ 4 In
accordance with 19 CFR 351.205(e), the
petitioner has stated the reasons for
requesting a postponement of the
preliminary determinations, and
Commerce finds no compelling reason
to deny the request. Therefore, in
accordance with section 703(c)(1)(A) of
the Act, Commerce is postponing the
deadline for the preliminary
determinations to no later than 130 days
after the date on which these
investigations were initiated, i.e., June
28, 2021.5 Pursuant to section 705(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.
This notice is issued and published
pursuant to section 703(c)(2) of the Act
and 19 CFR 351.205(f)(1).

5 Postponing the preliminary determination to
130 days after initiation would place the deadline
on Saturday, June 26, 2021. Commerce’s practice
dictates that where a deadline falls on a weekend

next business day. See Notice of Clarification:
