SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On April 23, 2024, the U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) 
initiated less-than-fair-value (LTFV) investigations of imports of 2,4-
Dichlorophenoxyacetic Acid (2,4-D) from India and China.\1\ On July 22, 
2024, Commerce tolled certain deadlines in this administrative 
proceeding by seven days.\2\ The deadline for these preliminary 
determinations is now September 17, 2024.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic Acid from the People's 
Republic of China and India: Initiation of Less-Than-Fair-Value 
Investigations, 89 FR 34200 (April 30, 2024) (Initiation Notice).
    \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 a 
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 \3\ 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ The petitioner is Corteva Agriscience LLC.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On August 7, 2024, the petitioner submitted a timely request that 
Commerce postpone the preliminary determinations in these LTFV 
investigations.\4\ The petitioners stated that it requests postponement 
``because {these{time}  investigation{s{time}  involve{ {time}  complex 
and novel issues, which require additional time to investigate 
completely.'' \5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See Petitioner's Letter, ``Request for Postponement of 
Preliminary Determination,'' dated August 7, 2024.
    \5\ Id. at 1-2.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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 November 6, 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.
