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 18 See AD Preliminary Determination. Ferrosilicon from Brazil, Kazakhstan, Malaysia, and Russia; Determinations, 89 FR 43435 (May 17, 2024). 20 See 19 CFR 351.206(h)(2). 21 See 19 CFR 351.206(i). 22 See AD Critical Circumstances Allegation at 5– 6; and CVD Critical Circumstances Allegation at 4– 6. 19 See VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:13 Aug 27, 2024 Jkt 262001 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 23 We use the term ‘‘issue’’ here to describe an argument that Commerce would normally address in a comment of the Issues and Decision Memorandum.

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.
