SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

This preliminary determination is 

made in accordance with section 733(b) 

of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 

(the Act). Commerce published the 

notice of initiation of this investigation 

in the Federal Register on July 17, 

2024.1 On July 22, 2024, Commerce 

tolled certain deadlines in this 

administrative proceeding by seven 

days.2 On November 20, 2024, 

Commerce postponed the preliminary 

determination of this investigation until 

January 23, 2025.3

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

Scope Comments 

In accordance with the Preamble to 

Commerce’s regulations,5 in the 

Initiation Notice, Commerce 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 

investigation, and accompanying 

discussion and analysis of all comments 

timely received, see the Preliminary 

Scope Decision Memorandum.7 As 

discussed in the Preliminary Scope 

Decision Memorandum, Commerce 

preliminarily modified the scope 

language as it appeared in the Initiation 

Notice. In the Preliminary Scope 

Decision Memorandum, Commerce 

established the deadline for parties to 

submit scope case and rebuttal briefs. 

Methodology 

Commerce is conducting this 

investigation in accordance with section 

731 of the Act. Commerce has 

calculated constructed export prices in 

accordance with section 772(b) of the 

Act. Because China is a non-market 

economy (NME), within the meaning of 

section 771(18) of the Act, Commerce 

has calculated normal value in 

accordance with section 773(c) of the 

Act. Furthermore, pursuant to sections 

776(a) and (b) of the Act, Commerce 

preliminarily has relied upon facts 

otherwise available, with adverse 

inferences, for the China-wide entity. 

For a full description of the 

methodology underlying Commerce’s 

preliminary determination, see the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum. 

Combination Rates 

In the Initiation Notice,8 Commerce 

stated that it would calculate producer/ 

exporter combination rates for the 

respondents that are eligible for a 

separate rate in this investigation. Policy 

Bulletin 05.1 describes this practice.9

Separate Rates 

We have preliminarily granted a 

separate rate to certain companies that 

we did not select for individual 

examination.10 In calculating the rate for 

non-individually examined separate rate 

respondents in an NME LTFV 

investigation, Commerce normally looks 

to section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act, which 

pertains to the calculation of the allothers rate in a market economy LTFV 

investigation, for guidance. Pursuant to 

section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act, normally 

this rate shall be an amount equal to the 

weighted-average of the estimated 

weighted average dumping margins 

established for those companies 

individually examined, excluding zero 

and de minimis dumping margins, and 

any dumping margins based entirely 

under section 776 of the Act. Commerce 

calculated an individual estimated 

weighted-average dumping margin for 

Shandong ConMet Mechanical Co., Ltd. 

(Shandong ConMet) that is not zero, de 

minimis, or based entirely on facts 

otherwise available. Thus, the weightedaverage dumping margin calculated for 

Shandong ConMet is the margin 

assigned to the non-examined, separate 

rate companies in this investigation. See 

the table below in the ‘‘Preliminary 

Determination’’ section of this notice. 

Preliminary Determination 

Commerce preliminarily determines 

that the following estimated weightedaverage dumping margins exist:

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 the Federal Register 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. 

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 subject 

merchandise as described in the scope 

of the investigation section entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after the date of 

publication of this notice in the Federal 

Register, as discussed below. 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 weighted average 

amount by which normal value exceeds 

U.S. price, as indicated in the chart 

above as follows: (1) for the producer/ 

exporter combinations listed in the table 

above, the cash deposit rate is equal to 

the estimated weighted-average 

dumping margin listed for that 

combination in the table; (2) for all 

combinations of Chinese producers/ 

exporters of merchandise under 

consideration that have not established 

eligibility for their own separate rates, 

the cash deposit rate will be equal to the 

estimated weighted-average dumping 

margin established for the China-wide 

entity; and (3) for all third-country 

exporters of merchandise under 

consideration not listed in the table 

above, the cash deposit rate is the cash 

deposit rate applicable to the Chinese 

producer/exporter combination (or the 

China-wide entity) that supplied that 

third-country exporter. 

To determine the cash deposit rate, 

Commerce normally adjusts the 

estimated weighted-average dumping 

margin by the amount of domestic 

subsidy pass-through and export 

subsidies determined in a companion 

countervailing duty (CVD) proceeding 

when CVD provisional measures are in 

effect. Accordingly, where Commerce 

has made a preliminary affirmative 

determination for domestic subsidy 

pass-through or export subsidies, 

Commerce has offset the calculated 

estimated weighted-average dumping 

margin by the appropriate rate(s). Any 

such adjusted rates may be found in the 

chart of estimated weighted-average 

dumping margins 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 cash deposits at a rate equal 

to the estimated weighted-average 

dumping margins calculated in this 

preliminary determination unadjusted 

for the export subsidies at the time the 

CVD provisional measures expire. 

These suspension of liquidation 

instructions will remain in effect until 

further notice. 

Verification 

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

Act, Commerce intends to verify 

information relied upon in making its 

final determination. 

Public Comment 

Case briefs or other written nonscope-related 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.11 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.12 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.13

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 briefs 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.14 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).15

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 

petitioners. Pursuant to 19 CFR 

351.210(e)(2), Commerce requires that 

requests by respondents for 

postponement of a final antidumping 

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 December 11, 2024, pursuant to 19 

CFR 351.210(e), Shandong ConMet 

requested that, in the event of an 

affirmative preliminary determination, 

Commerce postpone the final 

determination and that provisional 

measures be extended to a period not to 

exceed six months.16 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 


khammond on DSK9W7S144PROD with NOTICES
8386 Federal Register / Vol. 90, No. 18 / Wednesday, January 29, 2025 / Notices 

months. Accordingly, Commerce will 

make its final determination no later 

than 135 days after the date of 

publication of this preliminary 

determination. 

U.S. International Trade Commission 

Notification 

In accordance with section 733(f) of 

the Act, Commerce will notify the U.S. 

International Trade Commission (ITC) of 

its preliminary determination of sales at 

LTFV. If the final determination is 

affirmative, the ITC will determine 

before the later of 120 days after the date 

of this preliminary determination or 45 

days after the final determination 

whether imports of the subject 

merchandise are materially injuring, or 

threaten material injury to, the U.S. 

industry. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

This determination is issued and 

published in accordance with sections 

733(f) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 

CFR 351.205(c). 

Dated: January 23, 2025.

Appendix I 

Scope of the Investigation 

The merchandise covered by this 

investigation is certain brake drums made of 

gray cast iron, whether finished or 

unfinished, with an actual or nominal inside 

diameter of 14.75 inches or more but not over 

16.6 inches, weighing more than 50 pounds. 

Unfinished brake drums are those which 

have undergone some turning or machining 

but are not ready for installation. Subject 

brake drums are included within the scope 

whether imported individually or with nonsubject merchandise (for example, a hub), 

whether assembled or unassembled, or if 

joined with non-subject merchandise. When 

a subject drum is imported together with 

non-subject merchandise, such as, but not 

limited to, a drum-hub assembly, only the 

subject drum is covered by the scope. 

Subject merchandise also includes finished 

and unfinished brake drums that are further 

processed in a third country or in the United 

States, including, but not limited to, 

assembly or any other processing that would 

not otherwise remove the merchandise from 

the scope of this investigation if performed 

in the country of manufacture of the subject 

brake drums. The inclusion, attachment, 

joining, or assembly of non-subject 

merchandise with subject drums either in the 

country of manufacture of the subject drum 

or in a third country does not remove the 

subject drum from the scope. Specifically 

excluded is merchandise covered by the 

scope of the antidumping and countervailing 

duty orders on certain chassis and 

subassemblies thereof from the People’s 

Republic of China. See Certain Chassis and 

Subassemblies Thereof from the People’s 

Republic of China: Antidumping Duty Order,

People’s Republic of China: Countervailing 

Duty Order and Amended Final Affirmative 

Countervailing Duty Determination, 86 FR 

24844 (May 10, 2021). 

The scope also excludes composite brake 

drums that contain more than 38 percent 

steel by weight. 

The merchandise covered by this 

investigation is classifiable under 

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United 

States (HTSUS) subheading 8708.30.5020. 

The merchandise covered by this 

investigation may be classifiable under
