SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On June 5, 2024, the U.S. Department 

of Commerce (Commerce) initiated a 

less-than-fair-value (LTFV) investigation 

of imports of aluminum containers, 

pans, trays, and lids from the People’s 

Republic of China.1 On July 22, 2024, 

Commerce tolled certain deadlines in 

this administrative proceeding by seven 

days.2 Currently, the preliminary 

determination is due no later than 

October 30, 2024. 

Postponement of 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 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. 

On September 25, 2024, the 

petitioners 3 submitted a timely request 

that Commerce postpone the 

preliminary determination in the LTFV 

investigation.4 The petitioners stated 

that they requested postponement 

because ‘‘while the one participating 

mandatory respondent in this 

proceeding has submitted most of its 

initial responses to {Commerce’s} 

antidumping questionnaire, Petitioners 

have identified deficiencies in these 

responses that must be remedied in 

advance of {Commerce’s} issuance of its 

preliminary determination.’’ 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 determination no later than 

December 19, 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). 

Dated: October 2, 2024.
