SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On October 19, 2020, the Department 

of Commerce (Commerce) initiated the 

countervailing duty (CVD) 

investigations of certain aluminum foil 

from the Sultanate of Oman and the 

Republic of Turkey.1 Currently, the 

preliminary determinations are due no 

later than December 23, 2020. 

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 until no later 

than 130 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 reason for the request. 

Commerce will grant the request unless 

it finds compelling reasons to deny the 

request.2

On November 23, 2020, the 

petitioners 3 in these investigations 

submitted a timely request that 

Commerce postpone the preliminary 

CVD determinations.4 According to the 

petitioners, additional time is necessary 

to allow Commerce to ‘‘analyze fully the 

questionnaire responses, request any 

necessary clarifications and determine 

the extent to which countervailable 

subsidies have benefited the 

respondents in the preliminary phase of 

these proceedings.’’ 5 Consistent with 19 

CFR 351.205(e), the petitioners stated 

the reasons for requesting a 

postponement of the preliminary 

determinations, and Commerce finds no 

compelling reason to deny the request. 

Therefore, in accordance with section 

703(c)(1)(A) of the Act, Commerce is

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

This preliminary determination is 

made in accordance with section 703(b) 

of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 

(the Act). Commerce published the 

notice of initiation of this investigation 

on July 27, 2020.1 On September 8, 

2020, Commerce postponed the 

preliminary determination of this 

investigation and the revised deadline is 

now November 27, 2020.2 For a 

complete description of the events that 

followed the initiation of this 

investigation, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum.3 A list of topics 

discussed in the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum is included as Appendix 

II to this notice. The Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum is a public 

document and is on file electronically 

via Enforcement and Compliance’s 

Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 

Centralized Electronic Service System 

(ACCESS). ACCESS is available to 

registered users at http://

access.trade.gov. In addition, a complete 

version of the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum can be accessed directly 

at http://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/. 

The signed and electronic versions of 

the Preliminary Decision Memorandum 

are identical in content. 

Scope of the Investigation 

The product covered by this 

investigation is silicon metal from 

Kazakhstan. For a complete description 

of the scope of this investigation, see 

Appendix I. 

Scope Comments 

In accordance with the Preamble to 

Commerce’s regulations,4 the Initiation 

Notice set aside a period of time for 

parties to raise issues regarding product 

coverage (i.e., scope).5 No interested 

party commented on the scope of the 

investigation as it appeared in the 

Initiation Notice. 

Methodology 

Commerce is conducting this 

investigation in accordance with section 

701 of the Act. For each of the subsidy 

programs found countervailable, 

Commerce preliminarily determines 

that there is a subsidy, i.e., a financial 

contribution by an ‘‘authority’’ that 

gives rise to a benefit to the recipient, 

and that the subsidy is specific.6

Commerce notes that, in making these 

findings, it relied, in part, on facts 

available and, because it finds that one 

or more respondents did not act to the 

best of their ability to respond to 

Commerce’s requests for information, it 

drew an adverse inference where 

appropriate in selecting from among the 

facts otherwise available.7 For further 

information, see ‘‘Use of Facts 

Otherwise Available and Adverse 

Inferences’’ in the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum. 

Alignment 

As noted in the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum, in accordance with 

section 705(a)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.210(b)(4), Commerce is aligning the 

final countervailing duty (CVD) 

determination in this investigation with 

the final determination in the 

companion antidumping duty (AD) 

investigations of silicon metal from 

Iceland and Bosnia and Herzegovina 

based on a request made by the 

petitioners.8 Consequently, the final 

CVD determination will be issued on 

the same date as the final AD 

determinations in those cases, which are 

currently scheduled to be issued no 

later than February 22, 2021, unless 

postponed. 

All-Others Rate 

Sections 703(d) and 705(c)(5)(A) of 

the Act provide that, in the preliminary 

determination, Commerce shall 

determine an estimated all-others rate 

for companies not individually 

examined. This rate shall be an amount 

equal to the weighted average of the 

estimated subsidy rates established for 

those companies individually 

examined, excluding any zero and de 

minimis rates and any rates based 

entirely under section 776 of the Act. 

Pursuant to section 705(c)(5)(A)(ii) of 

the Act, if the individual estimated 

countervailable subsidy rates 

established for all exporters and 

producers individually examined are 

zero, de minimis, or determined based 

entirely on facts otherwise available, 

Commerce may use any reasonable 

method to establish the estimated 

subsidy rate for all other producers or 

exporters. 

In this case, the countervailable 

subsidy rate calculated for the
