The FBI estimates there will be 18,671 responses annually, with each taking about 30 minutes to complete, totaling approximately 9,336 hours each year. Comments are invited until April 26, 2021, particularly regarding the necessity and efficiency of the proposed collection.

    The U.S. Department of Commerce's International Trade Administration has conducted a preliminary review of certain aluminum foil from TĂĽrkiye, determining that some producers/exporters sold their products at prices below the normal value from November 1, 2022, to October 31, 2023. As part of this review, Commerce is also canceling reviews for two companies because either no relevant entries were made during the review period or the requesting parties withdrew their requests. Interested parties are encouraged to comment on these findings, and Commerce plans to issue the final results, including the assessment rates of antidumping duties, at a later date.

    Simple Explanation

    The U.S. Department of Commerce looked into how some Turkish companies were selling aluminum foil and found that some sold it for less than what it should normally cost. They are also stopping the review for two companies because there's nothing to check for or someone took back their request to check.
