SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On July 16, 2024, Commerce published in the Federal Register the initiation notice of the LTFV investigation on refrigerators from Thailand. In that notice, Commerce incorrectly stated that the ITC will make its preliminary determination within 45 days after the date the petition was filed.

Correction

In the Federal Register of July 16, 2024, in FR Doc 2024-15601, on page 57864, in the first column, correct the text under the section titled “Preliminary Determination by the ITC” as follows:

The ITC will preliminarily determine, within 25 days after the date on which the ITC receives notification from Commerce of initiation of the investigation, whether there is a reasonable indication that imports of refrigerators from Thailand are materially injuring, or threatening material injury to, a U.S. industry. A negative ITC determination will result in the investigation being terminated. Otherwise, this LTFV investigation will proceed according to statutory and regulatory time limits.

Notice to Interested Parties

This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections 732(c)(2) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.203(c).
