listing each issue; and (2) a table of 

authorities.12

As provided under 19 CFR 

351.309(c)(2) and (d)(2), in prior 

proceedings we have encouraged 

interested parties to provide an 

executive summary of their briefs that 

should be limited to five pages total, 

including footnotes. In this 

investigation, we instead request that 

interested parties provide at the 

beginning of their briefs a public, 

executive summary for each issue raised 

in their briefs.13 Further, we request that 

interested parties limit their public 

executive summary of each issue to no 

more than 450 words, not including 

citations. We intend to use the public 

executive summaries as the basis of the 

comment summaries included in the 

issues and decision memorandum that 

will accompany the final determination 

in this investigation. We request that 

interested parties include footnotes for 

relevant citations in the public 

executive summary of each issue. Note 

that Commerce has amended certain of 

its requirements pertaining to the 

service of documents in 19 CFR 

351.303(f).14

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), 

interested parties who wish to request a 

hearing, limited to issues raised in the 

case and rebuttal briefs, must submit a 

written request to the Assistant 

Secretary for Enforcement and 

Compliance, U.S. Department of 

Commerce, within 30 days after the date 

of publication of this notice in the 

Federal Register. Requests should 

contain the party’s name, address, and 

telephone number, the number of 

participants and whether any 

participant is a foreign national, and a 

list of the issues to be discussed. If a 

request for a hearing is made, Commerce 

intends to hold the hearing at a date and 

time to be determined. Parties should 

confirm by telephone the date, time, and 

location of the hearing two days before 

the scheduled date. 

Postponement of Final Determination 

and Extension of Provisional Measures 

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

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 exporters 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 petitioner. 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.210(e)(2), 

Commerce requires that requests by 

respondents for postponement of a final 

antidumping determination be 

accompanied by a request for extension 

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

six months in duration. 

On October 8, 2024, Petrokimya and 

the petitioner 15 requested that 

Commerce postpone the final 

determination and that the provisional 

measures be extended to a period not to 

exceed six months, respectively. In 

accordance with section 735(a)(2)(A) of 

the Act and 19 CFR 351.210(b)(2)(ii), 

because: (1) the preliminary 

determination is affirmative; (2) the 

requesting exporter 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 and extending the 

provisional measures from a four-month 

period to a period not greater than six 

months. Accordingly, Commerce will 

make its final determination no later 

than 135 days after the date of 

publication of this preliminary 

determination. 

U.S. International Trade Commission 

Notification (ITC) 

In accordance with section 733(f) of 

the Act, Commerce will notify the ITC 

of its preliminary determination of sales 

at LTFV. If the final determination is 

affirmative, the ITC will determine 

before the later of 120 days after the date 

of this preliminary determination or 45 

days after the final determination 

whether imports of DOTP from Tu ̈rkiye 

are materially injuring, or threaten 

material injury to, the U.S. industry. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

This preliminary determination is 

issued and published in accordance 

with sections 733(f) and 777(i)(1) of the 

Act, and 19 CFR 351.205(c). 

Dated: October 29, 2024.

Appendix I—Scope of the Investigation 

The merchandise covered by this 

investigation is dioctyl terephthalate (DOTP), 

regardless of form. DOTP that has been 

blended with other products is included 

within this scope when such blends include 

constituent parts that have not been 

chemically reacted with each other to 

produce a different product. For such blends, 

only the DOTP component of the mixture is 

covered by the scope of the investigations. 

DOTP that is otherwise subject to this 

investigation is not excluded when 

commingled with DOTP from sources not 

subject to this investigation. Commingled 

refers to the mixing of subject and nonsubject DOTP. Only the subject component of 

such commingled products is covered by the 

scope of this investigation. 

DOTP has the general chemical 

formulation of C6H4 (C8H17COO)2 and a 

chemical name of ‘‘bis (2-ethylhexyl) 

terephthalate’’ and has a Chemical Abstract 

Service (CAS) registry number of 6422–86–2. 

Regardless of the label, all DOTP is covered 

by this investigation. 

Subject merchandise is currently classified 

under subheading 2917.39.2000 of the 

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United 

States (HTSUS). Subject merchandise may 

also enter under subheadings 2917.39.7000 

or 3812.20.1000 of the HTSUS. While the 

CAS registry number and HTSUS 

classifications are provided for convenience 

and customs purposes, the written 

description of the scope of this investigation 

is dispositive.

to submit requests for revisions to 

update the Coastal and Marine 

Ecological Classification Standard 

(CMECS). CMECS was approved by the 

Federal Geographic Data Committee 

(FGDC) in August 2012 and provides a 

national standard for consistent 

descriptions of coastal and marine 

ecological features. The primary uses of 

CMECS are in mapping and classifying 

the geological, physical, biological, and 

chemical components of the 

environment. Among other applications, 

the CMECS framework can be used to 

integrate data from disparate sources, 

facilitate comparisons among sites, and 

organize data for regional assessment. 

Since its publication in 2012, the 

CMECS has been used to characterize 

habitats ranging from coastal wetlands
