information displays a currently valid

benefits. Furnishing the data is 

voluntary; however, failure to provide 

data could result in program benefits 

being withheld or denied. 

Title: 7 CFR 1901—Common Forms 

Package for Civil Rights Forms. 

OMB Number: 0575–0201. 

Type of Request: Extension of a 

Previously Approved Information 

Collection. 

Abstract: The information collection 

under OMB Number 0575–0201 enables 

the Agencies to effectively monitor a 

recipient’s compliance with the civil 

rights laws, and to determine whether or 

not service and benefits are being 

provided to beneficiaries on an equal 

opportunity basis. The Agencies are 

required to provide Federal financial 

assistance through its housing and 

community and business programs on 

an equal opportunity basis. The laws 

implemented in 7 CFR part 1901, 

subpart E, require the recipients of RD 

Federal financial assistance to collect 

various types of information, including 

information on participants in certain of 

these agencies’ programs, by race, color, 

and national origin. The information 

collected and maintained by the 

recipients of certain programs in RD are 

used internally by the agency for 

monitoring compliance with the civil 

rights laws and regulations. This 

information is made available to USDA 

officials, officials of other Federal 

agencies, and to Congress for reporting 

purposes. Without the required 

information, RD and its recipients will 

lack the necessary documentation to 

demonstrate that their programs are 

being administered in a 

nondiscriminatory manner, and in full 

compliance with the civil rights laws. In 

addition, the Agency and their 

recipients would be vulnerable in 

lawsuits alleging discrimination in the 

affected programs of these agencies, and 

would be without appropriate data and 

documentation to defend themselves by 

demonstrating that services and benefits 

are being provided to beneficiaries on 

an equal opportunity basis. 

Estimate of Burden: The Agencies are 

requesting approval for one respondent 

and a one-hour place holder for each of

Postponement of Preliminary 

Determination in the Less-Than-FairValue Investigation

DATES: Applicable November 15, 2024.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On August 6, 2024, the U.S. 

Department of Commerce (Commerce) 

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

investigation on imports of certain 

tungsten shot (tungsten shot) from the 

People’s Republic of China (China).1

Currently, the Commerce is due to issue 

the preliminary determination in this 

investigation no later than December 24, 

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)(A)(b)(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 November 6, 2024, the petitioner 2

submitted a timely request that 

Commerce postpone the preliminary 

determination in the LTFV 

investigation.3 The petitioner stated that 

it requests postponement to allow 

Commerce adequate time to conduct a 

thorough analysis in this investigation 

and collect the necessary information 

for determining the most accurate 

possible antidumping duty margins.4

For the reasons 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
