SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On October 21, 2024, the U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Postponement of Preliminary Determinations

    Section 703(b)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), 
requires Commerce to issue the preliminary determination in a CVD 
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 in a CVD 
investigation until no later than 130 days after the date on which 
Commerce initiated the investigation if: (A) the petitioner makes a 
timely request for an extension of the period within which the 
determination must be made; or (B) Commerce concludes that the parties 
concerned are cooperating, that the investigation is extraordinarily 
complicated, and that additional time is necessary to make the 
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 14 and 15, 2024, Bakelite LLC, the petitioner in these 
investigations, timely requested that Commerce postpone the preliminary 
determinations in the investigations.\2\ The petitioner requested 
postponement of the preliminary determinations in the investigations so 
that Commerce can fully analyze the forthcoming questionnaire responses 
of the mandatory respondents and issue supplemental questionnaires, as 
necessary.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ See Petitioner's Letters, ``Countervailing Duty 
Investigation of Hexamethylenetetramine from India: Request to 
Postpone Preliminary Determination,'' dated November 14, 2024; and 
``Countervailing Duty Investigation of Hexamethylenetetramine from 
China: Request to Postpone Preliminary Determination,'' dated 
November 15, 2024.
    \3\ Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In accordance with 19 CFR 351.205(e), the petitioner submitted its 
request for postponement of the preliminary determinations in the 
investigations 25 days or more before the scheduled date of the 
preliminary determinations and stated the reasons for its requests. 
Commerce finds no compelling reason to deny the requests. Therefore, in 
accordance with section 703(c)(1)(A) of the Act, Commerce is postponing 
the deadline for the preliminary determinations in the investigations 
to no later than 130 days after the date on which it initiated the 
investigations, i.e., February 28, 2025.
    Pursuant to section 705(a)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.210(b)(1), 
the deadline for the final determinations in the investigations will 
continue to be 75 days after the date of the preliminary 
determinations.
