If a visa is required to travel on a 

particular mission, applying for and 

obtaining such a visa will be the 

responsibility of the mission 

participant. Government fees and 

processing expenses to obtain such a 

visa are not included in the 

participation fee. However, the 

Department of Commerce will provide 

instructions to each participant on the 

procedures required to obtain business 

visas. 

Trade mission members participate in 

trade missions and undertake missionrelated travel at their own risk. The 

nature of the security situation in any 

given foreign market at a given time 

cannot be guaranteed. The U.S. 

Government does not make any 

representations or guarantees as to the 

safety or security of participants. The 

U.S. Department of State issues U.S. 

Government international travel alerts 

and warnings for U.S. citizens available 

at https://travel.state.gov/content/ 

passports/en/alertswarnings.html. Any 

question regarding insurance coverage 

must be resolved by the participant and 

its insurer of choice. 

Travel and in-person activities are 

contingent upon the safety and health 

conditions in the United States and the 

mission countries. Should safety or 

health conditions not be appropriate for 

travel and/or in-person activities, the 

Department will consider postponing 

the event or offering a virtual program 

in lieu of an in-person agenda. In the 

event of a postponement, the 

Department will notify the public, and 

applicants previously selected to 

participate in this mission will need to 

confirm their availability but need not 

reapply. Should the decision be made to 

organize a virtual program, the 

Department will adjust fees accordingly, 

prepare an agenda for virtual activities, 

and notify the previously selected 

applicants with the option to opt-in to 

the new virtual program.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On August 17, 2023, the U.S. 

Department of Commerce (Commerce) 

initiated less-than-fair-value (LTFV) 

investigations of imports of Mattresses 

from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, 

Burma, India, Italy, Kosovo, Mexico, the 

Philippines, Poland, Slovenia, Spain, 

and Taiwan.1 Currently, the preliminary 

determinations are due no later than 

January 4, 2024. 

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 after the date on which 

Commerce initiated the investigation. 

However, section 733(c)(1)(A)(b)(1) of 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
72738 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 203 / Monday, October 23, 2023 / Notices 

2The petitioners are Brooklyn Bedding LLC; 

Carpenter Company; Corsicana Mattress Company; 

Future Foam, Inc.; FXI, Inc.; Kolcraft Enterprises 

Inc.; Leggett & Platt, Incorporated; Serta Simmons 

Bedding Inc.; Southerland Inc.; Tempur Sealy 

International, Inc.; the International Brotherhood of 

Teamsters; and United Steel, Paper and Forestry, 

Rubber, Manufacturing, Energy, Allied Industrial 

and Service Workers International Union, AFL–CIO 

(collectively, the petitioners). 

3See Petitioners’ Letter, ‘‘Mattresses from Bosnia 

and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Burma, India, Italy, 

Kosovo, Mexico, Philippines, Poland, Slovenia, 

Spain, and Taiwan: Request to Extend Preliminary 

Results for Antidumping Duty Investigations,’’ 

dated October 5, 2023. 

4 Id. 

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 October 5, 2023, the petitioners 2

submitted a timely request that 

Commerce postpone the preliminary 

determinations in the LTFV 

investigations of mattresses from Bosnia 

and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Burma, 

India, Italy, Kosovo, Mexico, the 

Philippines, Poland, Slovenia, Spain, 

and Taiwan.3 The petitioners stated that 

they request postponement given the 

complexity of the investigations, the 

extensions of time Commerce granted to 

respondents, and the recent selection of 

additional respondents, to allow the 

petitioners adequate time to comment 

on responses and Commerce adequate 

time to issue supplemental 

questionnaires and conduct a thorough 

analysis in these investigations.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 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 23, 2024. In 

accordance with section 735(a)(1) of the 

Act and 19 CFR 351.210(b)(1), the 

deadline for the final determinations of 

these investigations will continue to be 

75 days after the date of the preliminary 

determinations, unless postponed at a 

later date. 

This notice is issued and published 

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

and 19 CFR 351.205(f)(1).
