SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On August 6, 2024, the U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) 
initiated a countervailing duty (CVD) investigation of imports of 
certain tungsten shot (tungsten shot) from the People's Republic of 
China.\1\ Currently, the preliminary determination is due no later than 
October 10, 2024.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See Certain Tungsten Shot from the People's Republic of 
China: Initiation of Countervailing Duty Investigation, 89 FR 65852 
(August 13, 2024).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Postponement of Preliminary Determination

    Section 703(b)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), 
requires Commerce to issue the preliminary determination in a 
countervailing duty investigation within 65 days after the date on 
which Commerce initiated the investigation. However, section 703(c)(1) 
of the Act permits Commerce to postpone the preliminary determination 
until no later than 130 days after the date on which Commerce initiated 
the investigation if: (A) the petitioner \2\ 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ The petitioner is Tungsten Parts Wyoming, Inc.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On September 12, 2024, the petitioner submitted a timely request 
that

[[Page 78849]]

Commerce postpone the preliminary CVD determination.\3\ The petitioner 
stated that it requests postponement because Commerce has not yet 
received questionnaire responses and requires more time to gather all 
necessary information.\4\

    \3\ See Petitioner's Letter, ``Request to Postpone Preliminary 
CVD Determination,'' dated September 12, 2024.
    \4\ Id. at 2.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In accordance with 19 CFR 351.205(e), the petitioner has stated the 
reasons for requesting a postponement of the preliminary determination, 
and Commerce finds no compelling reason to deny the request. Therefore, 
in accordance with section 703(c)(1)(A) of the Act, Commerce is 
postponing the deadline for the preliminary determination to no later 
than 130 days after the date on which this investigation was initiated, 
i.e., December 16, 2024.\5\ Pursuant to section 705(a)(1) of the Act 
and 19 CFR 351.210(b)(1), the deadline for the final determination of 
this investigation will continue to be 75 days after the date of the 
preliminary determination.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ Postponing the preliminary determination to 130 days after 
initiation would place the deadline on Saturday, December 14, 2024. 
Commerce's practice dictates that where a deadline falls on a 
weekend or federal holiday, the appropriate deadline is the next 
business day. See Notice of Clarification: Application of ``Next 
Business Day'' Rule for Administrative Determination Deadlines 
Pursuant to the Tariff Act of 1930, As Amended, 70 FR 24533 (May 10, 
2005).
