SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

This preliminary determination is 

made in accordance with section 733(b) 

of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 

(the Act). Commerce published the 

notice of initiation of this investigation 

in the Federal Register on April 22, 

2024.1 On July 22, 2024, Commerce 

tolled certain deadlines in this 

administrative proceeding by seven 

days.2 On July 24, 2024, Commerce 

postponed the preliminary 

determination of this investigation until 

October 29, 2024.3

For a complete description of the 

events that followed the initiation of 

this investigation, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum.4 A list of topics 

included in the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum is included as Appendix 

II to this notice. The Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum is a public 

document and is on file electronically 

via Enforcement and Compliance’s 

Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 

Centralized Electronic Service System 

(ACCESS). ACCESS is available to 

registered users at https://

access.trade.gov. In addition, a complete 

version of the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum can be accessed directly 

at https://access.trade.gov/public/ 

FRNoticesListLayout.aspx. 

Scope of the Investigation 

The product covered by this 

investigation is DOTP from Poland. For 

a complete description of the scope of 

this investigation, see Appendix I. 

Scope Comments 

In accordance with the Preamble to 

Commerce’s regulations,5 the Initiation 

Notice set aside a period of time for 

parties to raise issues regarding product 

coverage (i.e., scope).6 No interested 

party commented on the scope of the 

investigation as it appeared in the 

Initiation Notice. Therefore, Commerce 

is not preliminarily modifying the scope 

language as it appeared in the Initiation 

Notice. See the complete description of 

the scope in Appendix I to this notice. 

Methodology 

Commerce is conducting this 

investigation in accordance with section 

731 of the Act. Pursuant to section 

776(a) of the Act, Commerce 

preliminarily relied upon facts 

otherwise available to assign an 

estimated weighted-average dumping 

margin to Grupa Azoty Zaklady 

Azotowy (Azoty), the sole mandatory 

respondent in this investigation because 

Azoty withdrew its participation in this 

investigation. Further, Commerce 

preliminarily determines that Azoty 

failed to cooperate by not acting to the 

best of its ability to comply with a 

request for information and Commerce 

is using an adverse inference in 

selecting from among the facts 

otherwise available (i.e., applying 

adverse facts available (AFA) to this 

respondent, in accordance with section 

776(b) of the Act). For a full description 

of the methodology underlying our 

preliminary determination, see the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum. 

All-Others Rate 

Section 733(d)(1)(ii) of the Act 

provides that, in a preliminary 

determination, Commerce shall 

determine an estimated all-others rate 

for all exporters and producers not 

individually investigated in accordance 

with section 735(c)(5) of the Act. 

Section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act states 

that generally the estimated rate for all 

others shall be an amount equal to the 

weighted average of the estimated 

weighted-average dumping margins 

established for exporters and producers 

individually investigated, excluding any 

zero and de minimis margins, and any 

margins determined entirely under 

section 776 of the Act. 

The estimated weighted-average 

dumping margin in this preliminary 

determination was determined entirely 

under section 776 of the Act. In cases 

where no weighted-average dumping 

margins other than zero, de minimis, or 

those determined entirely under section 

776 of the Act have been established for 

individually examined entities, in 

accordance with section 735(c)(5)(B) of 

the Act, Commerce typically calculates 

a simple average of the margins alleged 

in the petition and applies the results to 

all other entities not individually 

examined.7

In the Petition,8 Eastman Chemical 

Company (the petitioner) alleged a 

single estimated dumping margin for 

Poland, 57.88 percent.9 Therefore, 

consistent with our practice, for the allothers rate in this investigation, we 

preliminarily assign this dumping 

margin alleged in the Petition, which is 

57.88 percent. 

Preliminary Determination 

Commerce preliminarily determines 

that the following estimated weightedaverage dumping margins exist:

weightedaverage 

dumping 

margin

Grupa Azoty Zaklady Azotowy ... * 57.88
