have multiple individual storage spaces, 

typically arranged in tiers, with access doors 

for each of the multiple individual storage 

space mounted on a single frame that can be 

swung open to allow access to all of the 

individual storage spaces at once. For 

example, uniform or garment exchange 

lockers are designed for the distinct function 

of securely and hygienically exchanging 

clean and soiled uniforms. Thus, excluded 

exchange lockers are a multi-access point 

locker whereas covered lockers are a single 

access point locker for personal storage. 

Also excluded are metal lockers that are 

imported with an installed electronic, 

internet-enabled locking device that permits 

communication or connection between the 

locker’s locking device and other internet 

connected devices. 

Also excluded are hardware and 

accessories for assembly and installation of 

the lockers, locker banks and storage systems 

that are separately imported in bulk and are 

not incorporated into a locker, locker system 

or knocked down kit at the time of 

importation. Such excluded hardware and 

accessories include but are not limited to 

bulk imported rivets, nuts, bolts, hinges, door 

handles, locks, door/frame latching 

components, and coat hooks. Accessories of 

sheet metal, including but not limited to end 

panels, bases, dividers and sloping tops, are 

not excluded accessories. 

The subject certain metal lockers are 

classified under Harmonized Tariff Schedule 

of the United States (HTSUS) subheading 

9403.20.0078. Parts of subject certain metal 

lockers are classified under HTS subheading 

9403.90.8041. While HTSUS subheadings are 

provided for convenience and Customs 

purposes, the written description of the 

scope of the investigation is dispositive.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On August 18, 2020, the Department 

of Commerce (Commerce) initiated lessthan-fair-value (LTFV) investigations of 

imports of methionine from France, 

Japan, and Spain.1 Currently, the 

preliminary determinations are due no 

later than January 5, 2021. 

Postponement of Preliminary 

Determinations 

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 of 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 December 1, 2020, Novus 

International, Inc. (the petitioner) 

submitted a timely request that 

Commerce postpone the preliminary 

determinations in these LTFV 

investigations.2 The petitioner stated 

that it requests postponement due to 

concerns that Commerce will need 

further information and complete 

questionnaire responses. Under the 

current timeline, the petitioner believes 

that Commerce will not have complete 

responses and sufficient information to 

issue these preliminary determinations.3

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 and 19 CFR 351.205(e), is 

postponing the deadline for these 

preliminary determinations by 50 days 

(i.e., 190 days after the date on which 

these investigations were initiated). As 

a result, Commerce will issue its 

preliminary determinations no later 

than February 24, 2021. In accordance 

with section 735(a)(1) of the Act and 19 

CFR 351.210(b)(1), the deadline for the 

final determinations in these 

investigations will continue to be 75 

days after the date of the preliminary 

determinations, unless postponed at a 

later date. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

This notice is issued and published 

pursuant to section 733(c)(2) of the Act 

and 19 CFR 351.205(f)(1). 

Dated: December 8, 2020.

Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and 

Compliance.
