SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On June 5, 2024, the U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) 
initiated a less-than-fair-value (LTFV) investigation of imports of 
aluminum containers, pans, trays, and lids from the People's Republic 
of China.\1\ On July 22, 2024, Commerce tolled certain deadlines in 
this administrative proceeding by seven days.\2\ Currently, the 
preliminary determination is due no later than October 30, 2024.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See Disposable Aluminum Containers, Pans, Trays, and Lids 
from the People's Republic of China: Initiation of Less-Than-Fair-
Value Investigation, 89 FR 49837 (June 12, 2024).
    \2\ See Memorandum, ``Tolling of Deadlines for Antidumping and 
Countervailing Duty Proceedings,'' dated July 22, 2024.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Postponement of Preliminary Determination

    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) 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.
    On September 25, 2024, the petitioners \3\ submitted a timely 
request that Commerce postpone the preliminary determination in the 
LTFV investigation.\4\ The petitioners stated that they requested 
postponement because ``while the one participating mandatory respondent 
in this proceeding has submitted most of its initial responses to 
{Commerce's{time}  antidumping questionnaire, Petitioners have 
identified deficiencies in these responses that must be remedied in 
advance of {Commerce's{time}  issuance of its preliminary 
determination.'' \5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ The petitioners are the Aluminum Foil Container 
Manufacturers Association and the following individual member 
companies: Durable Packaging International; D&W Fine Pack, LLC; 
Handi-foil Corp.; Penny Plate, LLC; Reynolds Consumer Products, LLC; 
Shah Foil Products, Inc.; Smart USA, Inc.; and Trinidad/Benham Corp 
(collectively, the petitioners).
    \4\ See Petitioners' Letter, ``Petitioners' Request for 
Postponement of the Preliminary Determination,'' dated September 25, 
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 
determination by 50 days (i.e., 190 days after the date on which this 
investigation was initiated). As a result, Commerce will issue its 
preliminary determination no later than December 19, 2024.\6\ In 
accordance with section 735(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, 
unless postponed at a later date.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ This deadline has been tolled by seven days. See fn2, supra.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    This notice is issued and published pursuant to section 733(c)(2) 
of the Act and 19 CFR 351.205(f)(1).
