updating JSC Apatit’s and EuroChem’s 

ad valorem subsidy rates. Additionally, 

because the all-others rate was based on 

JSC Apatit’s and EuroChem’s rates, 

Commerce is also updating the allothers rate. 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

For EuroChem and all others, 

Commerce will issue revised cash 

deposit instructions to U.S. Customs 

and Border Protection (CBP). For JSC 

Apatit, however, the cash deposit rate 

has been superseded by the cash deposit 

rate calculated in the subsequent 

administrative review of the CVD order 

on phosphate fertilizers from Russia.19

Thus, we are not implementing an 

amended cash deposit rate for JSC 

Apatit. This notice will not affect the 

current cash deposit rate for JSC Apatit. 

Liquidation of Suspended Entries 

At this time, Commerce remains 

enjoined by CIT order from liquidating 

entries that were produced and/or 

exported by JSC Apatit and certain 

cross-owned companies 20 that were 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

during the period November 30, 2020, 

through December 31, 2021. These 

entries will remain enjoined pursuant to 

the terms of the injunction during the 

pendency of any appeals process.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On June 20, 2023, Commerce initiated 

an LTFV investigation of imports of 

paper bags from Malaysia.1 The period 

of investigation is April 1, 2022, through

Postponement of Final Determination 

and Extension of Provisional Measures 

Section 735(a)(2) of the Tariff Act of 

1930, as amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 

351.210(b)(2) provide that a final 

determination may be postponed until 

not later than 135 days after the date of 

the publication of the preliminary 

determination if, in the event of an 

affirmative preliminary determination, a 

request for such postponement is made 

by the exporters or producers who 

account for a significant proportion of 

exports of the subject merchandise, or in 

the event of a negative preliminary 

determination, a request for such 

postponement is made by the 

petitioners. Further, 19 CFR 

351.210(e)(2) requires that such 

postponement requests by exporters be 

accompanied by a request for extension 

of provisional measures from a fourmonth period to a period not more than 

six months, in accordance with section 

733(d) of the Act. 

On January 5, 2024, Nanwang Pack 

(M) Sdn. Bhd. (Nanwang) and 

Hexachase Packaging Sdn Bhd, 

Malaysia (Hexachase), mandatory 

respondents in this investigation, 

requested that Commerce postpone the 

deadline for final determination until no 

later than 135 days from the publication 

of the Preliminary Determination, and 

extend the application of the 

provisional measures from a four-month 

period to a period of not more than six 

months.3 In accordance with section 

735(a)(2)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.210(b)(2)(ii), because: (1) the 

preliminary determination was 

affirmative; (2) the request for 

postponement was made by the 

exporters and producers who accounts 

for a significant proportion of exports of 

the subject merchandise; and (3) no 

compelling reasons for denial exist, 

Commerce is postponing the final 

determination until no later than 135 

days after the date of publication of the 

Preliminary Determination, and 

extending the provisional measures 

from a four-month period to a period of 

not more than six months. Accordingly, 

Commerce will issue its final 

determination no later than May 17, 

2024. 

This notice is issued and published 

pursuant to section 735(a)(2) of the Act 

and 19 CFR 351.210(g).
