SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On September 25, 2024, the U.S. 

Department of Commerce (Commerce) 

initiated countervailing duty (CVD) 

investigations of U.S. imports of certain 

corrosion-resistant steel products 

(CORE) from Brazil, Canada, Mexico, 

and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam 

(Vietnam).1 Currently, the preliminary 

determinations in these investigations 

are due no later than November 29, 

2024. 

Postponement of Preliminary 

Determinations 

Section 703(b)(1) of the Tariff Act of 

1930, as amended (the Act), requires 

Commerce to issue the preliminary 

determination in a CVD investigation 

within 65 days after the date on which 

Commerce initiated the investigation. 

However, section 703(c)(1) of the Act 

permits Commerce to postpone the 

preliminary determination in a CVD 

investigation until no later than 130 

days after the date on which Commerce 

initiated the investigation if: (A) the 

petitioner makes a timely request for an 

extension of the period within which 

the determination must be made; or (B) 

Commerce concludes that the parties 

concerned are cooperating, that the 

investigation is extraordinarily 

complicated, and that additional time is 

necessary to make the 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 November 4, 2024, Steel 

Dynamics, Inc. (SDI), Nucor Corporation 

(Nucor), United States Steel Corporation 

(U.S. Steel), Wheeling-Nippon Steel, 

Inc. (Wheeling-Nippon), and the United 

Steel, Paper and Forestry, Rubber, 

Manufacturing, Energy, Allied 

Industrial and Service Workers 

International Union, AFL–CIO, CLC (the 

USW), the petitioners in the respective 

investigations, timely requested that 

Commerce postpone the preliminary 

determinations in the investigations.2

The petitioners requested postponement 

of the preliminary determinations in the 

investigations so that Commerce can 

fully analyze the forthcoming 

questionnaire responses of the 

mandatory respondents and issue 

supplemental questionnaires, as 

necessary.3

In accordance with 19 CFR 

351.205(e), the petitioners submitted 

their requests for postponement of the 

preliminary determinations in the 

investigations 25 days or more before 

the scheduled date of the preliminary 

determinations and stated the reasons 

for their requests. Commerce finds no 

compelling reason to deny the requests. 

Therefore, in accordance with section 

703(c)(1)(A) of the Act, Commerce is 

postponing the deadline for the 

preliminary determinations in the 

investigations to no later than 130 days 

after the date on which it initiated the 

investigations, i.e., February 3, 2025.4

Pursuant to section 705(a)(1) of the 

Act and 19 CFR 351.210(b)(1), the 

deadline for the final determinations in 

the investigations will continue to be 75 

days after the date of the preliminary 

determinations. 

This notice is issued and published 

pursuant to section 703(c)(2) of the Act 

and 19 CFR 351.205(f)(1).
