---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Methodology

    Commerce is conducting this investigation in accordance with 
section 731 of the Act. Commerce has calculated export prices and 
constructed export prices in accordance with sections 772(a) and (b) of 
the Act, respectively. Because China is a non-market economy (NME) 
within the meaning of section 771(18) of the Act, Commerce has 
calculated normal value (NV) in accordance with section 773(c) of the 
Act. 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.

Preliminary Affirmative Determination of Critical Circumstances

    In accordance with section 733(e)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 
351.206(c), Commerce preliminarily determines that critical 
circumstances exist with respect to imports of LSPTVs from China for 
Guangdong Lvtong New Energy Electric Vehicle Technology Co., Ltd. 
(Guangdong Lvtong) and Xiamen Dalle New Energy Automobile Co., Ltd 
(Xiamen Dalle), the non-selected respondents eligible for a separate 
rate, and the China-wide entity. For a full description of the 
methodology and

[[Page 8518]]

results of Commerce's analysis, see the Preliminary Decision 
Memorandum.

Combination Rates

    In the Initiation Notice,\10\ 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.\11\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ See Initiation Notice, 88 FR at 57868.
    \11\ See Enforcement and Compliance's Policy Bulletin No. 05.1, 
regarding, ``Separate-Rates Practice and Application of Combination 
Rates in Antidumping Investigations involving Non-Market Economy 
Countries,'' (April 5, 2005) (Policy Bulletin 05.1), available on 
Commerce's website at https://enforcement.trade.gov/policy/bull05-1.pdf.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Non-Selected Separate Rate

    We preliminarily granted a separate rate to certain separate rate 
respondents that we did not select for individual examination.\12\ 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 all-others 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 any margins that are zero, de minimis, 
or based entirely under section 776 of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ See the Preliminary Decision Memorandum for additional 
details.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Commerce calculated individual estimated weighted-average dumping 
margins for Guangdong Lvtong and Xiamen Dalle that are not zero, de 
minimis, or based entirely on facts otherwise available. Therefore, we 
are preliminarily determining the dumping rate for the non-selected 
separate rate companies (listed in Appendix III) based on the weighted-
average of the calculated rates determined for the mandatory 
respondents, Guangdong Lvtong and Xiamen Dalle,\13\ in accordance with 
section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act. See the table below in the 
``Preliminary Determination'' section of this notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ We have calculated (A) a weighted-average of the dumping 
margins calculated for the mandatory respondents; (B) a simple 
average of the dumping margins calculated for the mandatory 
respondents; and (C) a weighted-average of the dumping margins 
calculated for the mandatory respondents using each company's 
publicly-ranged values for the merchandise under consideration. We 
would compare (B) and (C) to (A) and select the rate closest to (A) 
as the most appropriate rate for all other companies. See Ball 
Bearings and Parts Thereof from France, Germany, Italy, Japan, and 
the United Kingdom: Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative 
Reviews, Final Results of Changed-Circumstances Review, and 
Revocation of an Order in Part, 75 FR 53661, 53663 (September 1, 
2010).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Preliminary Determination

    Commerce preliminarily determines that the following estimated 
weighted-average dumping margins exist:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                                Estimated      Cash deposit rate
                                                                             weighted-average    (adjusted for
                Exporter                              Producer                dumping margin    subsidy offset)
                                                                                (percent)          (percent)

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.
    Section 733(e)(2) of the Act provides that, given an affirmative 
determination of critical circumstances, any suspension of liquidation 
shall apply to unliquidated entries of merchandise entered, or 
withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the later of: (a) 
the date that is 90 days before the date on which the suspension of 
liquidation was first ordered; or (b) the date on which notice of 
initiation of the investigation was published. Commerce preliminarily 
finds that critical circumstances exist for imports of subject 
merchandise from the non-selected companies eligible for a separate 
rate and the China-wide entity.\14\ In accordance with section 
733(e)(2)(A) of the Act, the suspension of liquidation shall apply to 
all unliquidated entries of merchandise from all exporters that were 
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the 
date that is 90 days before the publication of this notice in the 
Federal Register.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \14\ See Preliminary Decision Memorandum.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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 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. Any such adjusted rates may be found in the 
``Preliminary Determination'' section's chart of

[[Page 8519]]

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 
passed-through domestic subsidies or for export subsidies at the time 
the CVD provisional measures expire.
    These suspension of liquidation instructions will remain in effect 
until further notice.

Disclosure

    Commerce intends to disclose to interested parties the calculations 
and analysis it performed in connection with this preliminary 
determination within five days of the 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.

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

    For the deadlines for submitting scope-related case and rebuttal 
briefs, refer to the Preliminary Scope Decision Memorandum.\15\

that interested parties provide at the beginning of their briefs a 
public, executive summary for each issue raised in their briefs.\19\ 
Further, we request that interested parties limit their public 
executive summary of each issue to no more than 450 words, not 
including citations. We intend to use the public 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).\20\

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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.

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 no 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 
duty 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 November 11, 2024, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.210(e), Xiamen Dalle 
requested that Commerce postpone the final determination and that 
provisional measures be extended to a period not to exceed six 
months.\21\ 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 account 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's 
final determination will be published no later than 135 days after the 
date of publication of this preliminary determination.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \21\ See Xiamen Dalle's Letter, ``Request for Postponement of 
Final AD Determination,'' dated November 11, 2024.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) Notification

    In accordance with section 733(f) of the Act, Commerce will notify 
the 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 preliminary determination is issued and published in 
accordance with sections 733(f) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 
351.205(c).

Appendix I

Scope of the Investigation

    The merchandise covered by this investigation consists of 
certain low speed personal transportation vehicles (LSPTVs) and 
subassemblies thereof, whether finished or unfinished and whether 
assembled or unassembled, with or without tires, wheels, seats, 
steering columns and steering wheels, canopies, roofs, or batteries. 
LSPTVs meeting this description are open-air vehicles i.e., may have 
a permanent roof, may have a permanent windshield, and may be 
covered with temporary sides, with a minimum of four wheels, a 
steering wheel, a traditional side-by-side or in-line row seating 
arrangement (i.e., non-straddle), foot operated accelerator and 
brake pedals, and a gross vehicle weight of no greater than 5,500 
pounds. The main power source for subject LSPTVs is either an 
electric motor and battery (including but not limited to lithium-ion 
batteries, lithium phosphate batteries, lead acid batteries, and 
absorbed glass mat batteries) or a gas-powered internal combustion 
engine. Subject LSPTVs may be described as golf carts, golf cars, 
low speed vehicles, personal transportation vehicles, or light 
utility vehicles.
    LSPTVs subject to this investigation should have a maximum top 
nameplate speed of no greater than 25 miles per hour as required by 
federal, state, and local laws and regulations. Subject LSPTVs with 
a maximum top nameplate speed greater than 20 miles per hour 
normally must comply with the U.S. Department of Transportation's 
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards for Low-Speed Vehicles set 
forth in 49 CFR 571.500. LSPTVs that otherwise meet the physical 
description of this scope but are not certified under 49 CFR 571.500 
and are not certified under other sections of subpart B of the 
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (49 CFR part 571), are not 
excluded from this investigation. LSPTVs that are certified under 
both 49 CFR 571.500 and other sections of subpart B of the Federal 
Motor Vehicle Safety Standards remain subject to the scope of this 
investigation. Subject LSPTVs that have a maximum top nameplate 
speed of less than 25 miles per hour may be certified to the SAE 
International (SAE) standards SAE J2258 and SAE J2358. LSPTVs that 
have a maximum top nameplate speed of less than 20 miles per hour 
may also be certified to the Outdoor Power Equipment Institute 
(OPEI) standards OPEI Z130.1 and OPEI Z135.
    An unfinished and/or unassembled LSPTV subject to this 
investigation covers at a minimum a subassembly, also known as a 
``rolling chassis,'' which is typically comprised of, but not 
limited to, a frame or body with front and/or rear suspension 
components (such as arms, springs, axles, spindles, and shafts) 
installed and powertrain components (including either an electric 
motor or a gas-powered internal combustion engine) installed or 
ready for installation.
    When imported together with a rolling chassis subject to this 
investigation, other LSPTV components, such as batteries, bumpers, 
wheel and tire assemblies, cowlings, fenders, grills, kick plates, 
steering column and steering wheel assemblies, dash assembly, seat 
assemblies, pedal assemblies, brake assemblies, canopy or roof 
assemblies, temporary rain enclosures, windshields, mirrors, 
headlights, taillights, lighting systems, or storage--whether 
assembled or unassembled, whether as part of a kit or not, and 
whether or not accompanied by additional components--constitute part 
of an unfinished and/or unassembled LSPTV that is subject to this 
investigation. The inclusion of other products, components, or 
assemblies not described here does not remove the product from the 
scope.
    Subject LSPTVs and subassemblies are covered by the scope of 
this investigation whether or not they are accompanied by other 
parts. This investigation covers all LSPTVs and subassemblies 
meeting the physical description of the scope, regardless of overall 
length, width, or height. Individual components that do not comprise 
a subject LSPTV or subassembly that are entered by themselves are 
not subject to the investigation, but components entered with a 
LSPTV or subassembly, whether finished or unfinished and whether 
assembled or unassembled, are subject merchandise.
    LSPTVs and subassemblies subject to this investigation include 
those that are produced in the subject country whether assembled 
with other components in the subject country or in a third country. 
Processing or completion of finished and unfinished LSPTVs and 
subassemblies either in the subject country or in a third country 
does not remove the product from the scope.
    Specifically excluded from the scope of this investigation are 
all-terrain vehicles (which typically have straddle seating and are 
steered by handlebars), multipurpose off-highway utility vehicles 
(which have a maximum top nameplate speed of greater than 25 miles 
per hour), and recreational off-highway vehicles (which have a 
maximum top nameplate speed of greater than 30 miles per hour). Also 
excluded from the scope are go-karts, electric scooters, golf 
trolleys, and mobility aids (which include power wheelchairs and 
scooters which are used for the express purpose of enabling mobility 
for a person).
    The LSPTVs subject to the investigation are typically classified 
in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) at 
subheading 8703.10.5030. LSPTVs subject to the investigation may 
also enter under HTSUS subheading 8703.10.5060 and 8703.90.0100. The 
LSPTV subassemblies that are subject to the investigation typically 
enter under HTSUS subheadings 8706.00.1540 and 8707.10.0040. The 
HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and customs purposes 
only, and the written description of the merchandise subject to the 
investigation is dispositive.
