sinks. The products covered by these 

orders are currently classified in the 

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 

United States (HTSUS) under statistical 

reporting number 7324.10.0000 and 

7324.10.0010. Although the HTSUS 

subheadings are provided for 

convenience and customs purposes, the 

written description of the scope of the 

orders is dispositive. 

Continuation of the Orders 

As a result of the determinations by 

Commerce and the ITC that revocation 

of the AD and CVD orders would likely 

lead to a continuation or a recurrence of 

dumping and 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 AD and CVD orders 

on drawn stainless steel sinks from 

China. U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection (CBP) will continue to collect 

AD and CVD cash deposits at the rates 

in effect at the time of entry for all 

imports of subject merchandise. 

The effective date of the continuation 

of the orders 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 these orders not later than 30 

days prior to the fifth anniversary of the 

effective date of continuation. 

Administrative Protective Order 

This notice also serves as the only 

reminder to parties subject to 

administrative protective order (APO) of 

their responsibility concerning the 

return/destruction or conversion to 

judicial protective order of proprietary 

information disclosed under APO in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). 

Failure to comply is a violation of the 

APO which may be subject to sanctions. 

These five-year (sunset) reviews and 

notice are in accordance with sections 

751(c) and published pursuant to 

section 777(i) the Act and 19 CFR 

351.218(f)(4).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On May 7, 2018, the Department of 

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

imports of certain quartz surface 

products from the People’s Republic of 

China.1 Currently, the preliminary 

determination is due no later than 

September 24, 2018. 

Postponement of the Preliminary 

Determination 

Section 733(b)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act 

of 1930, as amended (the Act), requires 

Commerce to issue the preliminary 

determination in a 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, and 

determines 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 July 24, 2018, Cambria Company 

LLC (the petitioner) submitted a timely 

request that we postpone the 

preliminary determination in this LTFV 

investigation.2 In its request, the 

petitioner cited its need to review and 

identify any deficiencies in the 

respondents’ initial questionnaire 

responses and Commerce’s need to issue 

and receive supplemental 

questionnaires prior to the preliminary 

determination. Thus, in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.205(e), the petitioner 

has stated the reasons for requesting a 

postponement of the preliminary 

determination, and Commerce finds no 

compelling reason to deny the request. 

Therefore, in accordance with section 

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

postponing the deadline for the 

preliminary to no later than 190 days 

after the date on which this 

investigation was initiated, i.e., 

November 13, 2018. Pursuant to section 

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

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

determination will continue to be 75 

days after the date 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)(l).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On July 10, 2018, the Department of 

Commerce (Commerce) initiated a 

countervailing duty (CVD) investigation 

of imports of steel racks from the 

People’s Republic of China.1 Currently, 

the preliminary determination is due no 

later than September 13, 2018. 

Postponement of Preliminary 

Determination 

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 2 makes a timely 

request for a postponement; or (B) 

Commerce concludes that the parties 

concerned are cooperating, and 

determines 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 August 9, 2018, the petitioner 

submitted a timely request that 

Commerce postpone the preliminary 

determination.3 The petitioner states 

that it requests postponement of the 

preliminary determination because the 

scope of the investigation does not 

coincide exactly with any particular 

HTS category, it has been timeconsuming for Commerce to identify the 

largest producers of subject imports, 

and, at the time of the petitioner’s 

request, Commerce had not yet been 

able to designate mandatory 

respondents.4 The petitioner states that 

the postponement would allow 

sufficient time for Commerce to conduct 

a full investigation regarding the 

subsidy benefits received by Chinese 

producers and exporters of subject 

racks. 

In accordance with 19 CFR 

351.205(e), the petitioner has stated the 

reasons for requesting a postponement 

of the preliminary determination, and 

Commerce finds no compelling reason 

to deny the request. Therefore, in 

accordance with section 703(c)(1)(A) of 

the Act, Commerce is postponing the 

deadline for the preliminary 

determination to no later than 130 days 

after the date on which the investigation 

was initiated, i.e., November 19, 2018.5

Pursuant to section 705(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 the preliminary 

determination, unless postponed at a 

later date. 

This notice is issued and published 

pursuant to section 703(c)(2) of the Act 

and 19 CFR 351.205(f)(1).
