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 

on July 16, 2024.1 On July 22, 2024, 

Commerce tolled certain deadlines in 

this administrative proceeding by seven 

days.2 On November 13, 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 

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 products covered by this 

investigation are LSPTVs from China. 

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 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. 

Concurrent with the preliminary 

determination in the companion 

countervailing duty (CVD) investigation 

of LSPTVs from China,7 Commerce 

issued a preliminary scope modification 

memorandum in which it made one 

modification to the scope and also 

included proposed modifications to the 

scope language and invited interested 

parties to comment.8 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.9

Commerce is preliminarily modifying 

the scope language as it appeared in the 

LSPTVs CVD Preliminary 

Determination. 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 and constructed 

export prices in accordance with 

sections 772(a) and (b) of the Act, 

respectively. Because China is a nonmarket 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

Bulletin No. 05.1, regarding, ‘‘Separate-Rates 

Practice and Application of Combination Rates in 

Antidumping Investigations involving Non-Market

Bulletin 05.1), available on Commerce’s website at 

https://enforcement.trade.gov/policy/bull05-1.pdf. 

12See the Preliminary Decision Memorandum for 

additional details. 13We 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

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

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 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 any 

margins that are zero, de minimis, or 

based entirely under section 776 of the 

Act. 

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.

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 nonselected 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. 

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 weightedaverage dumping margin by the 

appropriate rate. Any such adjusted 

rates may be found in the ‘‘Preliminary 

Determination’’ section’s chart of

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

Case briefs or other written comments 

on non-scope issues may be submitted 

to the Assistant Secretary for 

Enforcement and Compliance no later 

than seven days after the date on which 

the final verification report is issued in 

this investigation.16 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.17 Interested parties who submit 

case or rebuttal briefs in this proceeding 

must submit: (1) a table of contents 

listing each issue; and (2) a table of 

authorities.18

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.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. 

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 lithiumion 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 LowSpeed 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 offhighway utility vehicles (which have a 

maximum top nameplate speed of greater 

than 25 miles per hour), and recreational offhighway 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.

Certain Quartz Surface Products From 

the People’s Republic of China: 

Continuation of Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Orders 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: As a result of the 

determinations by the U.S. Department 

of Commerce (Commerce) and the U.S. 

International Trade Commission (ITC) 

that revocation of the antidumping duty 

(AD) and countervailing duty (CVD) 

orders on certain quartz surface 

products (quartz surface products) from 

the People’s Republic of China (China) 

would likely lead to the continuation or 

recurrence of dumping, countervailable 

subsidies, and material injury to an 

industry in the United States, 

Commerce is publishing a notice of 

continuation of the AD and CVD orders. 

DATES: Applicable January 24, 2025.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On July 11, 2019, Commerce 

published in the Federal Register the 

AD and CVD orders on quartz surface 

products from China.1 On June 3, 2024, 

the ITC instituted,2 and Commerce 

initiated,3 the first sunset review of the 

Orders, pursuant to section 751(c) of the 

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

As a result of its reviews, Commerce 

determined that revocation of the 

Orders would likely lead to the 

continuation or recurrence of dumping 

and countervailable subsidies, and 

therefore, notified the ITC of the 

magnitude of the margins of dumping 

and subsidy rates likely to prevail 

should the Orders be revoked.4

On January 24, 2025, the ITC 

published its determination, pursuant to 

sections 751(c) and 752(a) of the Act, 

that revocation of the Orders would 

likely lead to continuation or recurrence 

of material injury to an industry in the 

United States within a reasonably 

foreseeable time.5

Scope of the Orders 

The scope of the Orders covers certain 

quartz surface products.6 Quartz surface 

products consist of slabs and other 

surfaces created from a mixture of 

materials that includes predominately 

silica (e.g., quartz, quartz powder, 

cristobalite) as well as a resin binder 

(e.g., an unsaturated polyester). The 

incorporation of other materials, 

including, but not limited to, pigments, 

cement, or other additives does not 

remove the merchandise from the scope 

of the Orders. However, the scope of the 

Orders only includes products where 

the silica content is greater than any 

other single material, by actual weight. 

Quartz surface products are typically 

sold as rectangular slabs with a total 

surface area of approximately 45 to 60 

square feet and a nominal thickness of 

one, two, or three centimeters. However, 

the scope of the Orders includes surface 

products of all other sizes, thicknesses, 

and shapes. In addition to slabs, the 

scope of the Orders includes, but is not 

limited to, other surfaces such as 

countertops, backsplashes, vanity tops, 

bar tops, work tops, tabletops, flooring, 

wall facing, shower surrounds, fire 

place surrounds, mantels, and tiles. 

Certain quartz surface products are 

covered by the Orders whether polished 

or unpolished, cut or uncut, fabricated 

or not fabricated, cured or uncured, 

edged or not edged, thermoformed or 

not thermoformed, finished or 

unfinished, packaged or unpackaged,
