1. This is a correction to message 4270401, dated 09/26/2024, to correct paragraph 3 of that message. 2. Paragraph 3 of message 4270401 incorrectly states that Commerce determined that critical circumstances exist for imports of melamine from Japan for the All Other producers and/or exporters and contains incorrect information about the date on which CBP was instructed to suspend liquidation for All Other producers and/or exporters.
