SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: AGENCY: Background lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1 Commerce published the notice of initiation of this investigation on November 8, 2022.1 The period of investigation is April 1, 2022, through September 30, 2022. On May 17, 2023, Commerce preliminarily determined that paper file folders from China are being, or are likely to be, sold in the United States at less than fair value.2 1 See Paper File Folders from the People’s Republic of China, India, and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam: Initiation of Less-Than-Fair-Value Investigations, 87 FR 67441 (November 8, 2022) (Initiation Notice). 2 See Paper File Folders from the People’s Republic of China: Preliminary Affirmative Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value, 88 FR 31485 (May 17, 2023) (Preliminary Determination). VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:50 May 30, 2023 Jkt 259001 Postponement of Final Determination and Extension of Provisional Measures Section 735(a)(2) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 351.210(b)(2) provide that a final determination may be postponed until not later than 135 days after the date of the publication of the preliminary determination if, in the event of an affirmative preliminary determination, a request for such postponement is made by exporters who account for a significant proportion of exports of the subject merchandise, or in the event of a negative preliminary determination, a request for such postponement is made by the petitioner.3 Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.210(e)(2), Commerce requires that requests by respondents for postponement of a final antidumping determination be accompanied by a request for extension of provisional measures from a four-month period to a period not more than six months in duration. On May 12, 2023, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.210(e), mandatory respondents CRE8 Direct (Ningbo) Co., Ltd. (CRE8 Direct) and Ningbo Guangbo Import & Export Co., Ltd. (Guangbo) requested that Commerce postpone the final determination and that provisional measures be extended to a period not to exceed six months.4 In accordance with section 735(a)(2)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.210(b)(2)(ii), because: (1) the preliminary determination is affirmative; (2) the requesting exporters account for a significant proportion of exports of the subject merchandise; and (3) no compelling reasons for denial exist, Commerce is postponing the final determination and extending the provisional measures from a four-month period to a period not greater than six months. Accordingly, Commerce’s final determination will be issued no later than 135 days after the date of publication of the Preliminary Determination.

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 after 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 May 18, 2023, the petitioners \2\ submitted a timely request 
that Commerce postpone the preliminary determinations in the LTFV 
investigations of imports of tin mill products from Canada, China, 
Germany, the Netherlands, Korea, Taiwan, Turkey, and the United 
Kingdom. The petitioners stated that ``{p{time} ostponement is 
warranted so that Commerce can evaluate fully the initial questionnaire 
responses submitted by the mandatory respondents and solicit 
supplemental information as necessary,'' and the petitioners ``seek 
postponement of all the antidumping investigations in order to keep 
them on the same schedule and avoid the need to split the cases at the 
International Trade Commission.'' \3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ The petitioners are Cleveland-Cliffs Inc. and the United 
Steel, Paper and Forestry, Rubber, Manufacturing, Energy, Allied 
Industrial and Service Workers International Union.
    \3\ See Petitioners' Letter, ``Request for Postponement of the 
Preliminary Determinations,'' dated May 18, 2023.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    For the reasons stated above and because there are no compelling 
reasons to deny the request, in accordance with section 733(c)(1)(A) of 
the Act and 19 CFR 351.205(e), Commerce is postponing the deadline for 
the preliminary determinations by 50 days (i.e., to 190 days after the 
date on which these investigations were initiated). As a result, 
Commerce will issue its preliminary determinations in the above-
referenced investigations no later than August 16, 2023. 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.

Notification to Interested Parties

    This notice is issued and published pursuant to section 733(c)(2)
