SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On April 17, 2024, the U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) 
initiated less-than-fair-value (LTFV) investigations on imports of 
ferrosilicon from Brazil, Kazakhstan, and Malaysia.\1\ On July 22, 
2024, Commerce tolled certain deadlines in these administrative 
proceedings by seven days.\2\ The deadline for the preliminary 
determinations is now September 11, 2024.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See Ferrosilicon from Brazil, Kazakhstan, Malaysia, and the 
Russian Federation: Initiation of Less-Than-Fair-Value 
Investigations, 89 FR 31137 (April 24, 2024).
    \2\ See Memorandum, ``Tolling of Deadlines for Antidumping and 
Countervailing Duty Proceedings,'' dated July 22, 2024.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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)(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.

Brazil, Kazakhstan, and Malaysia

    On July 31, 2024, the petitioners \3\ submitted a timely request 
that Commerce postpone the preliminary determinations in the LTFV 
investigations.\4\ The petitioners stated that they requested the 
postponement because Commerce either has not yet received, or has only 
just recently received, full initial questionnaire responses from the 
mandatory respondents in all three investigations and additional time 
is necessary to allow Commerce and petitioners ``to fully develop the 
record, and to review and comment upon the original and any 
supplemental responses.'' \5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ The petitioners are CC Metals and Alloys, LLC and Ferroglobe 
USA, Inc.
    \4\ See Petitioners' Letter, ``Petitioners' Request to Postpone 
Preliminary Antidumping Duty Determinations,'' dated July 31, 2024.
    \5\ Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    For the reason 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 
determinations by 50 days (i.e., 190 days after the date on which these 
investigations were initiated). As a result, Commerce will issue its 
preliminary determinations no later than October 31, 2024.\6\ 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ This deadline has been tolled by seven days. See footnote 2, 
supra.
