knowledge of dumping to U.S.
importers.18
In assessing importers’ knowledge of
likely material injury, Commerce relies
on a preliminary affirmative
determination by the ITC to impute the
requisite knowledge to U.S. importers.19
Thus, Commerce finds that U.S.
importers knew or should have known
that imports of ferrosilicon from Russia
were being sold at LTFV and were likely
to cause injury, which is sufficient to
satisfy the first requirement for an
affirmative critical circumstances
determination.

Massive Imports
In determining whether there have
been ‘‘massive imports’’ over a
‘‘relatively short period,’’ pursuant to
sections 703(e)(1)(B) and 733(e)(1)(B) of
the Act and 19 CFR 351.206(h),
Commerce normally compares the
import volumes of the subject
merchandise for at least three months
immediately preceding the filing of the
petition (i.e., the ‘‘base period’’) to a
comparable period of at least three
months following the filing of the
petition (i.e., the ‘‘comparison period’’).
Imports normally will be considered
massive when imports during the
comparison period have increased by 15
percent or more compared to imports
during the base period.20 The
regulations also provide, however, that
if Commerce finds that importers, or
exporters or producers, had reason to
believe, at some time prior to the
beginning of the proceeding, that a
proceeding was likely, Commerce may
consider a period of not less than three
months from that earlier time.21 In this
case, Commerce compared the import
volumes of subject merchandise, as
provided by the petitioners,22 for the
three months immediately preceding
and three months following the filing of
the petition, ending with the month
prior to the AD Preliminary
Determination and the CVD Preliminary
Determination.
Because the petitions were filed on
March 28, 2024, to determine whether
there was a massive surge in imports for
the cooperating mandatory respondent,
Commerce compared the total volume of
shipments during the period January
2024 through March 2024 with the
volume of shipments during the

following three-month period of April
2024 through June 2024. Based on this
analysis, we preliminarily determine
that there was a massive surge in
imports from RFA and ‘‘all other’’
producers/exporters from Russia (for
CVD) and for the Russia-wide entity (for
AD).
Conclusion
For the CVD investigation, based on
the criteria and findings discussed
above, we preliminarily determine that
critical circumstances exist with respect
to imports of ferrosilicon from Russia
produced or exported by RFA and all
other producers/exporters. For the AD
investigation, based on the criteria and
findings discussed above, we
preliminarily determine that critical
circumstances exist with respect to all
imports of ferrosilicon from Russia
produced or exported by the Russiawide entity.
Final Critical Circumstances
Determinations
We will make final critical
circumstances determinations
concerning critical circumstances in the
final AD and CVD determinations,
which are currently due no later than
September 11, 2024.
Public Comment
Interested parties are invited to
comment on these preliminary critical
circumstances determinations no later
than five days after the date on which
this notice is published in the Federal
Register. Given that the final
determinations for the AD and CVD
investigations are due no later than
September 11, 2024, Commerce will
allow two days for parties to submit
rebuttal comments.
We request that interested parties
provide at the beginning of their briefs
a public, executive summary for each
issue raised in their briefs.23 Further, we
request that interested parties limit their
executive summary of each issue to no
more than 450 words, not including
citations. We intend to use the executive
summaries as the basis of the comment
summaries included in the issues and
decision memoranda that will
accompany the final determinations in
these investigations. We request that
interested parties include footnotes for
relevant citations in the executive
summary of each issue. Note that
Commerce has amended certain of its

Suspension of Liquidation
In accordance with section
703(e)(2)(A) of the Act, for all entries,
we will direct U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) to suspend liquidation
of any unliquidated entries of subject
merchandise from Russia entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse for
consumption, on or after March 30,
2024, which is 90 days prior to the date
of publication of the AD Preliminary
Determination and CVD Preliminary
Determination in the Federal Register.
For such entries, CBP shall require a
cash deposit equal to the estimated
weighted-average dumping margin
established in the AD Preliminary
Determination and CVD Preliminary
Determination. This suspension of
liquidation will remain in effect until
further notice.
U.S. International Trade Commission
Notification
In accordance with sections 703(f)
and 733(f) of the Act, we will notify the
ITC of these preliminary determinations
of critical circumstances.
Notification to Interested Parties
This determination is issued and
published pursuant to sections 703(f),
733(f), and 777(i) of the Act and 19 CFR
