Alignment With AD Final Determination

    On August 14, 2017, the Department published the preliminary 
affirmative CVD determination pertaining to aluminum foil from the 
PRC.\2\ On August 10, 2017, in accordance with section 705(a) of the 
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), 19 CFR 351.210(b)(4)(i), and 
351.210(i), the Aluminum Association Trade Enforcement Group and its 
individual members, i.e., the petitioners, timely requested alignment 
of the final CVD determination with final determination in the related 
AD investigation of aluminum foil from the PRC.\3\ Therefore, in 
accordance with section 705(a)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 
351.210(b)(4)(i), we are aligning the final CVD determination with the 
final AD determination. Consequently, the final CVD determination will 
be issued on the same date as the final AD determination, which is 
currently scheduled to be issued on or about December 18, 2017.
