determination or 45 days after the final 

determination, whether imports of 

ferrosilicon from Malaysia are 

materially injuring the U.S. industry.

Appendix I 

Scope of the Investigation 

The scope of this investigation covers all 

forms and sizes of ferrosilicon, regardless of 

grade, including ferrosilicon briquettes. 

Ferrosilicon is a ferroalloy containing by 

weight four percent or more iron, more than 

eight percent but not more than 96 percent 

silicon, three percent or less phosphorus, 30 

percent or less manganese, less than three 

percent magnesium, and 10 percent or less of 

any other element. The merchandise covered 

also includes product described as slag, if the 

product meets these specifications. 

Subject merchandise includes material 

matching the above description that has been 

finished, packaged, or otherwise processed in 

a third country, including by performing any 

grinding or any other finishing, packaging, or 

processing that would not otherwise remove 

the merchandise from the scope of the 

investigation if performed in the country of 

manufacture of the ferrosilicon. 

Ferrosilicon is currently classifiable under 

subheadings 7202.21.1000, 7202.21.5000, 

7202.21.7500, 7202.21.9000, 7202.29.0010,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On May 16, 2024, the U.S. 

Department of Commerce (Commerce) 

initiated a less-than-fair-value (LTFV)

which Commerce initiated the 

investigation if: (A) the petitioner 3

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 August 13, 2024, the petitioner 

submitted a timely request that 

Commerce postpone the preliminary 

determination in the LTFV 

investigation.4 The petitioner requested 

postponement of the preliminary 

determination because it believes that 

Commerce requires more time to review 

questionnaire responses and address 

any deficiencies.5

For the reason 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 determinations no later 

than November 29, 2024.6 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 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).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On March 5, 2024, Commerce 

published in the Federal Register the 

Preliminary Results of the 2022–2023 

administrative review of the 

antidumping duty order on SS bar from 

India.1 We invited interested parties to 

comment on the Preliminary Results. On

for issuing the final results of 

administrative review to August 29, 

2024.2 On July 22, 2024, Commerce 

tolled certain deadlines in this 

administrative proceeding by seven 

days.3 The deadline for issuing the final 

results of administrative review is now 

September 5, 2024. Commerce 

conducted this review in accordance 

with section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 

1930, as amended (the Act). 

Scope of the Order 4

The product covered by the Order is 

SS bar from India. A full description of

the Issues and Decision Memorandum.5

Analysis of Comments Received 

All issues raised in the case and 

rebuttal briefs filed by parties in this 

review are listed in the appendix to this 

notice and addressed in the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum.6 The Issues and 

Decision Memorandum is a public 

document and is on file electronically 

via Enforcement and Compliance’s 

Antidumping and Countervailing Duty

FRNoticesListLayout.aspx. 

Changes Since the Preliminary Results 

Based on our analysis of the 

comments received, we made certain 

cost related adjustments to Laxcon 

Steels Limited’s, and its affiliates’, 

Ocean Steels Private Limited’s, Metlax 

International Private Limited’s, Parvati 

Private Limited’s, and Mega Steels 

Private Limited’s (collectively, Laxcon) 

information.7 In addition, we 

recalculated Laxcon’s reported indirect 

selling expense calculation 8 and 

removed an adjustment to U.S. price 

reported under a certain billing 

adjustment field (BILLADJ1U) for 

Aamor Inox Limited.9 For a detailed 

discussion of the issues raised by 

parties, see the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum. 

Rate for Non-Examined Companies 

The statute and Commerce’s 

regulations do not address the 

establishment of a rate to be applied to 

companies not selected for examination 

when Commerce limits its examination 

in an administrative review pursuant to 

section 777A(c)(2) of the Act. Generally, 

Commerce looks to section 735(c)(5) of 

the Act, which provides instructions for 

calculating the all-others rate in a 

market economy investigation, for
