Ceramic Tile From the People's Republic of China: Notice of Correction to the Preliminary Affirmative Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value

AGENCY:

Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, Department of Commerce.

SUMMARY:

The Department of Commerce (Commerce) is correcting the preliminary determination of sales at less than fair value (LTFV) for ceramic tile from the People's Republic of China (China). The period of investigation is October 1, 2018, through March 31, 2019.

DATES:

Applicable December 13, 2019.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Heather Lui or Paul Walker, AD/CVD Operations, Office VI, Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482-0016 or (202) 482-0413, respectively.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

On November 14, 2019, Commerce published the preliminary determination of sales at LTFV for ceramic tile from China.

1

In the

Preliminary Determination,

Commerce inadvertently omitted certain separate rate companies and their corresponding producers from the margin chart. Commerce also is correcting spelling errors for two additional separate rate companies.

84 FR 61877 (November 14, 2019) (

Preliminary Determination

).

Additionally, in the

Preliminary Determination,

Commerce inadvertently identified Beilitai (Tianjin) Tile Co., Ltd. and its producers as receiving the separate rate applicable to non-individually examined companies.

2

Because we found in the

Preliminary Determination

that Beilitai (Tianjin) Tile Co., Ltd. should be treated as a single entity with mandatory respondent Belite Ceramics (Anyang) Co., Ltd. and Tianjin Honghui Creative Technology Co., Ltd.,

3

Beilitai (Tianjin) Tile Co., Ltd. and its producers should be included in the margin applicable to Belite Ceramics (Anyang) Co., Ltd./Beilitai (Tianjin) Tile Co., Ltd./Tianjin Honghui Creative Technology Co., Ltd. We correct those omissions and errors in the chart below.
