SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

On November 9, 2016, the Department of Commerce (“the Department”) published the preliminary results of the investigation of sales at less than fair value for ammonium sulfate from the People's Republic of China (“PRC”).^[1]

The Department is issuing this notice to correct an inadvertent error in the Federal Register notice for the Preliminary Determination. Specifically, the Department stated an incorrect deadline for submitting case briefs or other written comments in the “Disclosure and Public Comment” section of the Preliminary Determination notice. The notice states that “{c}ase briefs or other written comments 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 proceeding . . .” ^[2] However, the correct deadline, as stated in the preliminary determination memorandum accompanying the Preliminary Determination notice is “no later than 30 days after the publication of this preliminary determination in the Federal Register.” ^[3] Accordingly, the deadline for filing case briefs is December 9, 2016.

This correction to the preliminary determination of sales at less than fair value is issued and published in accordance with sections 733(f) and 777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended.

Dated: November 16, 2016.

Paul Piquado,

Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
