assets sector? Can digital assets be 

compatible with a low-carbon economy 

that emphasizes renewable energy? If so, 

how? In what ways can the U.S. 

government and U.S. companies drive 

competitive, sustainable (for the 

environment and energy consumption) 

development of digital assets? 

(7) What impact, if any, will global 

deployment of central bank digital 

currencies (CBDC) have on the U.S. 

digital assets sector? To what extent 

would the design of a U.S. CBDC (e.g., 

disintermediated or intermediated, 

interoperable with other countries’ 

CBDCs and other domestic and 

international financial services, etc.) 

impact the sector? 

(8) Should digital assets be given 

specific consideration in trade 

agreements? If so, to what extent? What 

types of provisions would be beneficial 

to the U.S. digital assets sector in the 

United States? Are there provisions that 

would be beneficial to U.S. businesses 

and consumers? 

(9) What other factors related to 

economic competitiveness should 

Commerce consider in the development 

of the framework? 

(10) Beyond enhanced economic 

competitiveness, how can the U.S. 

digital assets sector advance the other 

objectives outlined in the Executive 

Order? These other objectives include 

protection of consumers, investors, and 

business in the United States; protection 

of United States and global financial 

stability and the mitigation of systemic 

risk; and mitigation of illicit finance and 

national security risks posed by misuse 

of digital assets. 

(11) By what metrics should we 

measure the competitiveness of the U.S. 

digital assets sector in the global 

market? Are there existing 

measurements or data against these 

metrics? 

Comparisons to ‘Traditional’ Financial 

Services and Financial Inclusion 

Considerations 

(12) What factors and conditions, if 

any, that have driven and sustained the 

global leadership of U.S.-based legacy 

financial institutions will foster the 

same leadership for U.S. digital asset 

businesses? If there are no common 

factors, what factors and conditions will 

differentiate global competitiveness for 

U.S. digital asset businesses? 

(13) Can digital assets improve 

international payments (including trade 

and remittances), and improve on access 

to trade finance? If so, how? How do 

digital assets compare to other 

initiatives in payments such as the 

Federal Reserve’s FedNow? 

(14) According to the FDIC’s 2019 

‘‘How America Banks’’ survey, 

approximately 94.6 percent (124 

million) of U.S. households had at least 

one bank or credit union account in 

2019, while 5.4 percent (7.1 million) of 

households did not. Can digital assets 

play a role in increasing these and other 

underserved Americans’ access to safe, 

affordable, and reliable financial 

services, and if so, how? What role can 

the Federal government and the digital 

assets sector play to ensure that 

underserved Americans can benefit 

from the increased commercial 

availability of digital assets? 

Technological Development 

(15) To what extent do new standards 

for digital assets and their underlying 

technologies need to be maintained or 

developed, for instance those related to 

custody, identity, security, privacy, and 

interoperability? What existing 

standards are already relevant? How 

might existing standardization efforts be 

harmonized to support the responsible 

development of digital assets? 

(16) What new security concerns does 

increased adoption of digital assets 

raise? How can the U.S. government 

collaborate with U.S. digital asset 

businesses to protect consumers’ access 

to their assets, personal information, 

and other sensitive data? 

(17) To what extent will 

interoperability between different 

digital asset networks be important in 

the future? What risks does a lack of 

interoperability pose? And what steps, if 

any, should be taken to encourage 

interoperability?

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On January 19, 2022, the U.S. 

Department of Commerce (Commerce) 

initiated less-than-fair-value (LTFV) 

investigations of imports of certain 

lemon juice (lemon juice) from Brazil 

and South Africa.1 Currently, the 

preliminary determinations are due no 

later than June 8, 2022. 

Postponement of Preliminary 

Determinations 

Section 733(b)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act 

of 1930, as amended (the Act), requires 

Commerce to issue the preliminary 

determination in an LTFV investigation 

within 140 days after the date on which 

Commerce initiated the investigation. 

However, section 733(c)(1)(A)(b)(1) of 

the Act permits Commerce to postpone 

the preliminary determination until no 

later than 190 days after the date on 

which Commerce initiated the 

investigation if: (A) The petitioner 

makes a timely request for a 

postponement; or (B) Commerce 

concludes that the parties concerned are 

cooperating, that the investigation is 

extraordinarily complicated, and that 

additional time is necessary to make a 

preliminary determination. Under 19 

CFR 351.205(e), the petitioner must 

submit a request for postponement 25 

days or more before the scheduled date 

of the preliminary determination and 

must state the reasons for the request. 

Commerce will grant the request unless 

it finds compelling reasons to deny the 

request. 

On May 10, 2022, Ventura Coastal, 

LLC (the petitioner) submitted a timely 

request that Commerce postpone the 

preliminary determinations in these 

LTFV investigations.2 The petitioner 

stated that it requests postponement 

because Commerce has not yet received 

complete responses to the supplemental 

questionnaires it issued to respondents,

Because Commerce received a timely review 

request for this company, we now correct the 

Initiation Notice to initiate a review for this 

company.

subject merchandise during the period of this 

review. It is Borusan Mannesmann’s affiliated U.S. 

reseller. See, e.g., Borusan Mannesmann’s Letter, 

‘‘Circular Welded Carbon Steel Pipes and Tubes 

from Turkey, Case No. A–489–501: Request for 

Antidumping Duty Administrative review,’’ dated 

June 1, 2021, in which Borusan Mannesmann 

requested an administrative review for itself and its 

U.S. affiliated reseller, BMP. As a result, we now 

correct the Initiation Notice to remove BMP’s name. 

and a postponement will ensure that 

Commerce has sufficient time to review 

all questionnaire responses and obtain 

clarification or additional information 

before determining the magnitude of 

dumping during the periods of 

investigation.3

For the reasons stated above and 

because there are no compelling reasons 

to deny the request, Commerce, in 

accordance with section 733(c)(1)(A) of 

the Act and 19 CFR 351.205(e), is 

postponing the deadline for the 

preliminary determinations by 50 days 

(i.e., 190 days after the date on which 

these investigations were initiated). As 

a result, Commerce will issue its 

preliminary determinations no later 

than July 28, 2022. In accordance with 

section 735(a)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.210(b)(1), the deadline for the final 

determinations of these investigations 

will continue to be 75 days after the 

date of the preliminary determinations, 

unless postponed at a later date. 

This notice is issued and published 

pursuant to section 733(c)(2) of the Act 

and 19 CFR 351.205(f)(1).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On July 6, 2021, the U.S. Department 

of Commerce (Commerce) published in 

the Federal Register notice of its 

initiation of the 2020–2021 

administrative review of the 

antidumping duty order on circular 

welded carbon steel standard pipe and 

tube products from Turkey.1 The period 

of review is May 1, 2020, through April 

30, 2021. Subsequent to the publication 

of the initiation of this segment of the 

proceeding in the Federal Register, we 

identified inadvertent errors in the 

Initiation Notice: 

• First, Commerce omitted from the 

Initiation Notice the following company 

for which a review was requested: Kale 

Baglanti Teknolojileri San. ve Tic. A.S. 

(Kale Baglanti).2

• Second, we inadvertently initiated 

the review for Borusan Mannesmann 

Pipe U.S. Inc. (BMP), the affiliated U.S. 

reseller of the exporter Borusan 

Mannesmann Boru Sanayi ve Ticaret 

A.S. (Borusan Mannesmann) for which 

we also initiated a review.3

Commerce is hereby correcting the 

Initiation Notice to address these errors. 

This correction to the notice of 

initiation of administrative review is 

issued and published in accordance 

with sections 751(a) and 777(i)(1) of the 

Tariff Act of 1930, as amended.
