6 In accordance with 19 CFR 351.225(d)(2), within 

30 days after the filing of a scope ruling application, 

if Commerce determines that it intends to address 

the scope issue raised in the application in another 

segment of the proceeding (such as a circumvention 

inquiry under 19 CFR 351.226 or a covered 

merchandise inquiry under 19 CFR 351.227), it will 

notify the applicant that it will not initiate a scope 

inquiry, but will instead determine if the product 

is covered by the scope at issue in that alternative 

segment.

Notification to Interested Parties 

This list of scope ruling applications 

is not an identification of scope 

inquiries that have been initiated. In 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.225(d)(1), 

if Commerce has not rejected a scope 

ruling application nor initiated the 

scope inquiry within 30 days after the 

filing of the application, the application 

will be deemed accepted and a scope 

inquiry will be deemed initiated the 

following day—day 31.6 Commerce’s 

practice generally dictates that where a 

deadline falls on a weekend, Federal 

holiday, or other non-business day, the 

appropriate deadline is the next 

business day.7 Accordingly, if the 30th 

day after the filing of the application 

falls on a non-business day, the next 

business day will be considered the 

‘‘updated’’ 30th day, and if the 

application is not rejected or a scope 

inquiry initiated by or on that particular 

business day, the application will be 

deemed accepted and a scope inquiry 

will be deemed initiated on the next 

business day which follows the 

‘‘updated’’ 30th day.8

In accordance with 19 CFR 

351.225(m)(2), if there are companion 

AD and CVD orders covering the same 

merchandise from the same country of 

origin, the scope inquiry will be 

conducted on the record of the AD 

proceeding. Further, please note that 

pursuant to 19 CFR 351.225(m)(1), 

Commerce may either apply a scope 

ruling to all products from the same 

country with the same relevant physical 

characteristics, (including chemical, 

dimensional, and technical 

characteristics) as the product at issue, 

on a country-wide basis, regardless of 

the producer, exporter, or importer of 

those products, or on a companyspecific basis. 

For further information on procedures 

for filing information with Commerce 

through ACCESS and participating in 

scope inquiries, please refer to the 

Filing Instructions section of the Scope 

Ruling Application Guide, at https://

access.trade.gov/help/Scope_Ruling_

Guidance.pdf. Interested parties, apart 

from the scope ruling applicant, who 

wish to participate in a scope inquiry 

and be added to the public service list 

for that segment of the proceeding must 

file an entry of appearance in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.103(d)(1) 

and 19 CFR 351.225(n)(4). Interested 

parties are advised to refer to the case 

segment in ACCESS as well as 19 CFR 

351.225(f) for further information on the 

scope inquiry procedures, including the 

timelines for the submission of 

comments. 

Please note that this notice of scope 

ruling applications filed in AD and CVD 

proceedings may be published before 

any potential initiation, or after the 

initiation, of a given scope inquiry 

based on a scope ruling application 

identified in this notice. Therefore, 

please refer to the case segment on 

ACCESS to determine whether a scope 

ruling application has been accepted or 

rejected and whether a scope inquiry 

has been initiated. 

Interested parties who wish to be 

served scope ruling applications for a 

particular AD or CVD order may file a 

request to be included on the annual 

inquiry service list during the 

anniversary month of the publication of 

the AD or CVD order in accordance with 

19 CFR 351.225(n) and Commerce’s 

procedures.9

9With two respondents under examination, 

Commerce normally calculates: (A) a weightedaverage of the estimated weighted-average dumping 

margins calculated for the examined respondents; 

(B) a simple average of the estimated weightedaverage dumping margins calculated for the 

examined respondents; and (C) a weighted-average 

of the estimated weighted-average dumping margins 

calculated for the examined respondents using each 

company’s publicly-ranged U.S. sales values for the 

merchandise under consideration. Commerce then 

compares (B) and (C) to (A) and selects the rate 

closest to (A) as the most appropriate rate for all 

other producers and exporters. See, e.g., Ball 

Bearings and Parts Thereof from France, Germany,

publicly ranged sales data were available, 

Commerce based the all-others rate on the publicly 

ranged sales data of the mandatory respondents. For 

a complete analysis of the data, see Memorandum, 

‘‘Calculation of the All Others Rate for the 

Preliminary Determination,’’ dated concurrently 

with this determination.

of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 

(the Act). Commerce published the 

notice of initiation of this investigation 

on April 30, 2024.1 On July 22, 2024, 

Commerce tolled certain deadlines in 

this administrative proceeding by seven 

days.2 On August 20, 2024, Commerce 

postponed the preliminary 

determination of this investigation and 

the revised deadline is now November 

6, 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 2,4-D from India. 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. However, on June 11, 

2024, in response to a supplemental 

questionnaire,7 the petitioner clarified 

its intent to include in the scope 

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 

United States (HTSUS) subheadings: 

3808.93.0500 and 3808.93.1500.8 As a 

result, Commerce is preliminarily 

modifying the scope language as it 

appeared in the Initiation Notice to 

replace HTSUS subheadings 

3808.93.0050 and 3808.93.1400 with 

HTSUS subheadings 3808.93.0500 and 

3808.93.1500. See the scope in 

Appendix I to this notice. 

Methodology 

Commerce is conducting this 

investigation in accordance with section 

731 of the Act. Commerce has 

calculated export prices in accordance 

with section 772(a) of the Act. 

Constructed export prices have been 

calculated in accordance with section 

772(b) of the Act. Normal value is 

calculated in accordance with section 

773 of the Act. For a full description of 

the methodology underlying the 

preliminary determination, see the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum. 

All-Others Rate 

Sections 733(d)(1)(ii) and 735(c)(5)(A) 

of the Act provide that in the 

preliminary determination Commerce 

shall determine an estimated all-others 

rate for all exporters and producers not 

individually examined. This rate shall 

be an amount equal to the weighted 

average of the estimated weightedaverage 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. 

In this investigation, Commerce 

calculated estimated weighted-average 

dumping margins for Atul Limited 

(Atul) and Meghmani Organics Limited 

(MOL) that are not zero, de minimis, or 

based entirely on facts otherwise 

available. Commerce calculated the allothers rate using a simple average of the 

estimated weighted-average dumping 

margins calculated for the examined 

respondents.9

Preliminary Determination 

Commerce preliminarily determines 

that the following estimated weightedaverage dumping margins exist: 

Exporter/producer 

Weightedaverage 

dumping 

margin 

(percent) 

Cash deposit 

rate 

(adjusted for 

subsidy 

offsets 10)

Meghmani Organics Limited .................................................................................................................................... 3.91 0.87 

All Others ................................................................................................................................................................. 8.57 4.43 

Suspension of Liquidation 

In accordance with section 733(d)(2) 

of the Act, Commerce will direct U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to 

suspend liquidation of entries of subject 

merchandise, as described in Appendix 

I, entered, or withdrawn from 

warehouse, for consumption on or after 

the date of publication of this notice in

15See MOL’s Letter, ‘‘Request for postponement 

of final determination and extension of provision

the Federal Register. Further, pursuant 

to section 733(d)(1)(B) of the Act and 19 

CFR 351.205(d), Commerce will instruct 

CBP to require a cash deposit equal to 

the estimated weighted-average 

dumping margin or the estimated allothers rate, as follows: (1) the cash 

deposit rate for the respondents listed 

above will be equal to the companyspecific estimated weighted-average 

dumping margins determined in this 

preliminary determination; (2) if the 

exporter is not a respondent identified 

above, but the producer is, then the cash 

deposit rate will be equal to the 

company-specific estimated weightedaverage dumping margin established for 

that producer of the subject 

merchandise; and (3) the cash deposit 

rate for all other producers and 

exporters will be equal to the all-others 

estimated weighted-average dumping 

margin. 

Commerce normally adjusts cash 

deposits for estimated antidumping 

duties by the amount of export subsidies 

countervailed in a companion 

countervailing duty (CVD) proceeding, 

when CVD provisional measures are in 

effect. Accordingly, where Commerce 

preliminarily made an affirmative 

determination for countervailable export 

subsidies, Commerce has offset the 

estimated weighted-average dumping 

margin by the appropriate CVD rate. 

Any such adjusted cash deposit rate 

may be found in the ‘‘Preliminary 

Determination’’ section above. 

Should provisional measures in the 

companion CVD investigation expire 

prior to the expiration of provisional 

measures in this LTFV investigation, 

Commerce will direct CBP to begin 

collecting estimated antidumping duty 

cash deposits unadjusted for 

countervailed export subsidies at the 

time that the provisional CVD measures 

expire. These suspension of liquidation 

instructions will remain in effect until 

further notice. 

Disclosure 

Commerce intends to disclose its 

calculations and analysis performed to 

interested parties in this preliminary 

determination within five days of any 

public announcement or, if there is no 

public announcement, within five days 

of the date of publication of this notice 

in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). 

Consistent with 19 CFR 351.224(e), 

Commerce will analyze and, if 

appropriate, correct any timely 

allegations of significant ministerial 

errors by amending the preliminary 

determination. However, consistent 

with 19 CFR 351.224(d), Commerce will 

not consider incomplete allegations that 

do not address the significance standard 

under 19 CFR 351.224(g) following the 

preliminary determination. Instead, 

Commerce will address such allegations 

in the final determination together with 

issues raised in the case briefs or other 

written comments. 

Verification 

As provided in section 782(i)(1) of the 

Act, Commerce intends to verify the 

information relied upon in making its 

final determination. 

Public Comment 

Case briefs or other written comments 

may be submitted to the Assistant 

Secretary for Enforcement and 

Compliance no later than seven days 

after the date on which the last 

verification report is issued in this 

investigation. A timeline for the 

submission of case briefs and written 

comments will be notified to interested 

parties at a later date. Rebuttal briefs, 

limited to issues raised in the case 

briefs, may be filed not later than five 

days after the date for filing case 

briefs.11 Interested parties who submit 

case briefs or rebuttal briefs in this 

proceeding must submit: (1) a table of 

contents 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 brief 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 executive 

summary of each issue to no more than 

450 words, not including citations. We 

intend to use the 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 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. Requests 

should contain the party’s name, 

address, and telephone number, the 

number of participants, 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 time and 

date 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. 

Section 351.210(e)(2) of Commerce’s 

regulations requires that a request by 

exporters for postponement of the final 

determination be accompanied by a 

request for extension of provisional 

measures from a four-month period to a 

period not more than six months in 

duration. 

On October 21, 2024, MOL requested 

that Commerce postpone the final 

determination and that provisional 

measures be extended to a period not to 

exceed six months.15 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

Appendix I 

Scope of the Investigation 

The merchandise covered by this 

investigation is 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic 

acid (2,4-D) and its derivative products, 

including salt and ester forms of 2,4-D. 2,4- 

D has the Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) 

registry number of 94–75–7 and the chemical 

formula C8H6Cl2O3. 

Salt and ester forms of 2,4-D include 2,4- 

D sodium salt (CAS 2702–72–9), 2,4-D 

diethanolamine salt (CAS 5742–19–8), 2,4-D 

dimethyl amine salt (CAS 2008–39–1), 2,4-D 

isopropylamine salt (CAS 5742–17–6), 2,4-D 

tri-isopropanolamine salt (CAS 3234180–3), 

2,4-D choline salt (CAS 1048373–72–3), 2,4- 

D butoxyethyl ester (CAS 1929–733), 2,4-D 2- 

ethylhexylester (CAS 1928–43–4), and 2,4-D 

isopropylester (CAS 94–11–1). All 2,4-D, as 

well as the salt and ester forms of 2,4-D, is 

covered by the scope irrespective of purity, 

particle size, or physical form. 

The conversion of a 2,4-D salt or ester from 

2,4-D acid, or the formulation of nonsubject 

merchandise with the subject 2,4-D, its salts, 

and its esters in the country of manufacture 

or in a third country does not remove the 

subject 2,4-D, its salts, or its esters from the 

scope. For any such formulations, only the 

2,4-D, 2,4-D salt, and 2,4-D ester components 

of the mixture is covered by the scope of the 

investigation. Formulations of 2,4-D are 

products that are registered for end-use 

applications with the Environmental 

Protection Agency and contain a dispersion 

agent. 

The country of origin of any 2,4-D 

derivative salt or ester is determined by the 

country in which the underlying 2,4-D acid 

is produced. 2,4-D, its salts, and its esters are
