SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: PO 00000 Frm 00006 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 90265 Background On August 6, 2024, the U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) initiated a less-than-fair-value (LTFV) investigation on imports of certain tungsten shot (tungsten shot) from the People’s Republic of China (China).1 Currently, the Commerce is due to issue the preliminary determination in this investigation no later than December 24, 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)(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 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 November 6, 2024, the petitioner 2 submitted a timely request that Commerce postpone the preliminary determination in the LTFV investigation.3 The petitioner stated that it requests postponement to allow Commerce adequate time to conduct a thorough analysis in this investigation and collect the necessary information for determining the most accurate possible antidumping duty margins.4 For the reasons 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 1 See Certain Tungsten Shot from the People’s Republic of China: Initiation of Less-Than-FairValue Investigation, 89 FR 65856 (August 13, 2024). 2 The petitioner is Tungsten Parts Wyoming, Inc. 3 See Petitioner’s Letter, ‘‘Request to Postpone Preliminary Determination,’’ dated November 6, 2024. 4 Id.
