SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Extension of Initiation of Investigation 

The Petitions 

On November 25, 2024, the U.S. 

Department of Commerce (Commerce) 

received antidumping and 

countervailing duty petitions on imports 

of sol gel alumina-based ceramic 

abrasive grains (ceramic abrasive grains) 

from the People’s Republic of China 

(China), filed in proper form on behalf 

of Saint-Gobain Ceramics & Plastics, Inc. 

(the petitioner), a domestic producer of 

ceramic abrasive grains.1

Determination of Industry Support for 

the Petitions 

Sections 702(b)(1) and 732(b)(1) of the 

Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), 

require that a petition be filed by or on 

behalf of the domestic industry. To 

determine that the petition has been 

filed by or on behalf of the industry, 

sections 702(c)(4)(A) and 732(c)(4)(A) of 

the Act require that the domestic 

producers or workers who support the 

petition account for: (i) at least 25 

percent of the total production of the 

domestic like product; and (ii) more 

than 50 percent of the production of the 

domestic like product produced by that 

portion of the industry expressing 

support for, or opposition to, the 

petition. Moreover, sections 702(c)(4)(D) 

and 732(c)(4)(D) of the Act provide that, 

if the petition does not establish support 

of domestic producers or workers 

accounting for more than 50 percent of 

the total production of the domestic like 

product, Commerce shall: (i) poll the 

industry or rely on other information in 

order to determine if there is support for 

the petition, as required by 

subparagraph (A); or (ii) if there is a 

large number of producers, determine 

industry support using a statistically 

valid sampling method to poll the 

industry. 

Extension of Time 

Sections 702(c)(1)(A) and 732(c)(1)(A) 

of the Act provide that within 20 days 

of the filing of an antidumping or 

countervailing duty petition, Commerce 

will determine, inter alia, whether the 

petition has been filed by or on behalf 

of the U.S. industry producing the 

domestic like product. Sections 

702(c)(1)(B) and 732(c)(1)(B) of the Act 

provide that the deadline for the 

initiation determination, in exceptional 

circumstances, may be extended by 20 

days in any case in which Commerce 

must ‘‘poll or otherwise determine 

support for the petition by the 

industry.’’ Because the Petitions have 

not established that the domestic 

producers or workers accounting for 

more than 50 percent of total production 

support the Petitions, in accordance 

with sections 702(c)(4)(D) and 

732(c)(4)(D) of the Act, Commerce has 

determined it would be appropriate in 

these cases to poll the industry and 

extend the time period for determining 

whether to initiate the investigations in 

order to further examine the issue of 

industry support. 

Commerce will need additional time 

to gather and analyze additional 

information regarding industry support. 

Therefore, it is necessary to extend the 

deadline for determining the adequacy 

of the Petitions for a period not to 

exceed 40 days from the filing of the 

Petitions. As a result, in accordance 

with sections 702(c)(1)(B) and 

732(c)(1)(B) of the Act, Commerce’s 

initiation determination will now be 

due no later than January 6, 2025.2

International Trade Commission 

Notification

International Trade Commission (ITC) 

and will make this extension notice 

available to the ITC.
