SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

The Census Bureau is implementing 

an electronic Decennial Census 

Temporary, Intermittent Applicant 

Information Collection to gather 

information from job seekers needed to 

fill temporary, intermittent Decennial 

Census Program positions, starting with 

the 2026 Census Test. Questions used to 

qualify and select applicants for 

positions are in the job application 

information section of the collection. 

This section collects Social Security 

number, date of birth, contact 

information, citizenship status, selective 

service and veteran’s preference status 

and documentation, Federal 

employment/annuity status, access to 

transportation, hours of availability and 

related job experience. The 

supplemental voluntary applicant 

information section includes questions 

found on the Equal Employment 

Opportunity Commission’s (EEOC’s) 

common use form 3046–0046, 

Demographic Information on Applicants 

for Federal Employment, developed to 

support EEOC Management Directive 

(MD) 715–1. The voluntary questions 

also include recruiting source and 

education questions to help improve 

future recruiting efforts. 

This collection gathers basic 

information needed for all temporary, 

intermittent decennial positions, 

streamlining the application process for 

both the applicant and the Census 

Bureau, by allowing applicants to be 

considered for several positions with 

one set of application data. To further 

evaluate each applicant’s fit for 

positions, after completing the 

Decennial Census Temporary, 

Intermittent Applicant Information 

Collection, applicants will answer 

position related assessment questions. 

The Census Bureau discontinued a 

similar collection for the Current 

Surveys, Special Census, and Decennial 

Census Programs under OMB No. 0607– 

0139. 

II. Method of Collection 

Data will be gathered electronically in 

a system called, Decennial 

Administrative, Recruiting, Hiring, and 

Training System (DARHTS). Applicants 

will visit census.gov, click on a link to 

access the DARHTS, create an account 

and proceed to complete the job 

application information, the 

supplemental voluntary applicant 

information, and then the position 

specific assessment questionnaires. The 

DARHTS system will create an 

electronic PDF output of the job 

application information questions and 

the applicant respondent’s answers as a 

record. If the applicant respondent 

makes subsequent changes to their job 

application information, the system will 

create additional PDF documents for 

each change submission. Each PDF 

created will include the OMB clearance 

number and the expiration date. 

The Census Bureau is not including 

for clearance an online Spanish version 

of DARHTS or paper versions of the job 

application information or 

supplemental voluntary applicant 

information for the three-year period 

covered by this request. The current 

collection does not require these job 

application alternatives. Subsequent 

renewals will include the Spanish and 

paper versions, when the collection is 

rolled out to Puerto Rico and remote 

parts of Alaska.

the initiation of this investigation, see 

the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum.4

A list of topics included in the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum is 

provided in Appendix II of this notice. 

The Preliminary Decision Memorandum 

is a public document and is on file 

electronically via Enforcement and 

Compliance’s Antidumping and

Scope of the Investigation 

The product covered by this 

investigation is grinding media 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 Certain interested 

parties commented on the scope of the 

investigation as it appeared in the 

Initiation Notice. For a summary of the 

product coverage comments and 

rebuttal responses submitted to the 

record for this preliminary 

determination, and accompanying 

discussion and analysis of all comments 

timely received, see the Preliminary 

Scope Decision Memorandum.7

Commerce is not preliminarily 

modifying the scope language as it 

appeared in the Initiation Notice. See 

the scope in Appendix I to this notice. 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.309(c)(2), 

interested parties may submit additional 

comments on the scope of this 

investigation in scope case briefs, which 

may be submitted no later than 30 days 

after the issuance of the Preliminary 

Scope Decision Memorandum.8

Methodology 

Commerce is conducting this 

investigation in accordance with section 

731 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. 

Commerce calculated an individual 

estimated weighted-average dumping 

margin for AIA Engineering Limited 

(AIAEL) and its affiliates (collectively, 

AIA),9 the only individually examined 

exporter/producer 10 in this 

investigation. Because the only 

individually calculated dumping margin 

is not zero, de minimis, or based 

entirely on facts otherwise available, the 

estimated weighted-average dumping 

margin calculated for AIA is the margin 

assigned to all other producers and 

exporters, pursuant to section 

735(c)(5)(A) of the Act. 

Preliminary Determination 

Commerce preliminarily determines 

that the following estimated weightedaverage dumping margins exist:

margin

(adjusted for 

subsidy offset(s))

Memorandum.

17See AIA’s Letter, ‘‘Request to Postpone Final

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 

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. 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.13 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.14

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.15 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).16

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 1) the party’s name, 

address, and telephone number; 2) the 

number of participants and whether any 

participant is a foreign national; and 3) 

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 15, 2024, pursuant to 19 

CFR 351.210(e), AIA requested that 

Commerce postpone the final 

determination and that provisional 

measures be extended to a period not to 

exceed six months.17 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
