Suresh Maniam, AD/CVD Operations, Office I, Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482-1603.
On January 6, 2025, the U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) initiated the countervailing duty (CVD) investigation of sol gel alumina-based ceramic abrasive grains (ceramic ( printed page 22699) abrasive grains) from the People's Republic of China (China).[1] Simultaneously, Commerce initiated the less-than-fair-value (LTFV) investigation of ceramic abrasive grains from China.[2] The CVD investigation and the LTFV investigation cover the same class or kind of merchandise.
On May 19, 2025, in accordance with section 705(a)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), Saint-Gobain Ceramics & Plastics Inc. (the petitioner) timely requested an alignment of the final CVD determination with the final LTFV determination of ceramic abrasive grains from China.[3] Therefore, in accordance with section 705(a)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.210(b)(4)(i), Commerce is aligning the final CVD determination with the final LTFV determination. Consequently, the final CVD determination will be issued on the same date as the final LTFV determination, which is currently scheduled to be issued no later than August 11, 2025, unless postponed.
This notice is issued and published pursuant to section 705(a)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.210(b)(4)(I).
Dated: May 22, 2025.
Christopher Abbott,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Policy and Negotiations, performing the non-exclusive functions and duties of the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
