the Regulations states that the Bureau of 

Industry and Security’s Office of 

Exporter Services may revoke any 

Bureau of Industry and Security (‘‘BIS’’) 

licenses previously issued pursuant to 

the Act or the Regulations in which the 

person had an interest at the time of his/ 

her conviction. 

BIS has received notice of Bryukhov’s 

conviction for violating Section 38 of 

the AECA, and has provided notice and 

an opportunity for Bryukhov to make a 

written submission to BIS, as provided 

in Section 766.25 of the Regulations. 

BIS has not received a submission from 

Bryukhov. 

Based upon my review and 

consultations with BIS’s Office of 

Export Enforcement, including its 

Director, and the facts available to BIS, 

I have decided to deny Bryukhov’s 

export privileges under the Regulations 

for a period of 10 years from the date of 

Bryukhov’s conviction. I have also 

decided to revoke all licenses issued 

pursuant to the Act or Regulations in 

which Bryukhov had an interest at the 

time of his conviction. 

Accordingly, it is hereby ordered: 

First, from the date of this Order until 

April 6, 2026, Alex Bryukhov, with a 

last known address of 7907 Sprucemill 

Drive, Morrisville, PA, and when acting

assigns, employees, agents or 

representatives (‘‘the Denied Person’’), 

may not, directly or indirectly, 

participate in any way in any

Regulations; or 

C. Benefitting in any way from any 

transaction involving any item exported

Second, no person may, directly or 

indirectly, do any of the following: 

A. Export or reexport to or on behalf 

of the Denied Person any item subject to 

the Regulations;

acquisition or attempted acquisition by 

the Denied Person of the ownership,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On April 16, 2018, the Department of 

Commerce (Commerce) initiated a lessthan-fair-value (LTFV) investigation of 

imports of certain steel wheels from the 

People’s Republic of China (China).1

Currently, the preliminary 

determination is due no later than 

September 4, 2018. 

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) 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. See 19 CFR 351.205(e). 

On August 8, 2018, the petitioners 2

submitted a timely request that 

Commerce postpone the preliminary 

determination in this investigation. The 

petitioners stated that they request 

postponement because under the 

current deadline for the preliminary 

determinations, Commerce will not 

have received all questionnaire 

responses and obtained sufficient 

information for making a preliminary 

determination.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, 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 

preliminary determination no later than 

October 23, 2018. In accordance with 

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

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

determination of this investigation will 

continue to be 75 days after the date of 

publication of the preliminary 

determination, 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). 

Dates: August 14, 2018.

Steel Wire Garment Hangers From the 

Socialist Republic of Vietnam; 

Continuation of Countervailing Duty 

Order 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: As a result of determinations 

by the Department of Commerce 

(Commerce) and the International Trade 

Administration (ITC) that revocation of 

the countervailing duty order on steel 

wire garment hangers (hangers) from the 

Socialist Republic of Vietnam (Vietnam) 

would likely lead to continuation or 

recurrence of countervailable subsidies 

and material injury to an industry in the 

United States, Commerce is publishing 

a notice of the continuation of the 

countervailing duty (CVD) order. 

DATES: Applicable August 20, 2018.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On February 5, 2013, Commerce 

published in the Federal Register the 

notice of the CVD order on hangers from 

Vietnam.1 On November 1, 2017, 

Commerce published the notice of 

initiation of the first five-year (sunset) 

review of the CVD order on hangers 

from Vietnam, pursuant to section 

751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 

amended (the Act).2 On November 1, 

2017, the ITC instituted its review of the 

order.3

As a result of the sunset review, 

Commerce found that revocation of the 

CVD order on hangers from Vietnam 

would likely lead to continuation or 

recurrence of countervailable 

subsidies.4 Commerce, therefore, 

notified the ITC of the magnitude of the 

countervailable subsidy rates likely to 

prevail should the CVD order be 

revoked. 

On May 22, 2018, pursuant to sections 

751(c) and 752(a) of the Act, the ITC 

published its determination that 

revocation of the CVD order on hangers 

from Vietnam would likely lead to 

continuation or recurrence of material 

injury to an industry in the United 

States within a reasonably foreseeable 

time.5

Scope of the Order 

The merchandise subject to the Order 

is steel wire garment hangers, fabricated 

from carbon steel wire, whether or not 

galvanized or painted, whether or not 

coated with latex or epoxy or similar 

gripping materials, and/or whether or 

not fashioned with paper covers or 

capes (with or without printing) and/or 

nonslip features such as saddles or 

tubes. These products may also be 

referred to by a commercial designation, 

such as shirt, suit, strut, caped, or latex 

(industrial) hangers. 

Specifically excluded from the scope 

of the Order are (a) wooden, plastic, and 

other garment hangers that are not made 

of steel wire; (b) steel wire garment 

hangers with swivel hooks; (c) steel wire 

garment hangers with clips permanently 

affixed; and (d) chrome-plated steel wire 

garment hangers with a diameter of 3.4 

mm or greater. 

The products subject to the Order are 

currently classified under U.S. 

Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTSUS) 

subheadings 7326.20.0020 and 

7323.99.9080. Although the HTSUS 

subheadings are provided for 

convenience and customs purposes, the 

written description of the merchandise 

is dispositive. 

Continuation of the Order 

As a result of the determinations by 

Commerce and the ITC that revocation 

of the CVD order would likely lead to 

continuation or recurrence of 

countervailable subsidies and material 

injury to an industry in the United 

States, pursuant to section 751(d)(2) of 

the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(a), 

Commerce hereby orders the 

continuation of the CVD order on 

hangers from Vietnam. 

U.S. Customs and Border Protection 

will continue to collect CVD cash 

deposits at the rates in effect at the time 

of entry for all imports of subject 

merchandise. The effective date of 

continuation of this order will be the 

date of publication in the Federal 

Register of this notice of continuation. 

Pursuant to section 751(c)(2) of the Act, 

Commerce intends to initiate the next 

five-year review of this order not later 

than 30 days prior to the fifth 

anniversary of the effective date of 

continuation.
