Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised in interested parties' case briefs are addressed
in the Issues and Decision Memorandum. A list of the issues addressed
in the Issues and Decision Memorandum is attached as an appendix to
this notice. The Issues and Decision Memorandum is a public document
and is on file electronically via Enforcement and Compliance's
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service
System (ACCESS). ACCESS is available to registered users at <a href="https://access.trade.gov">https://access.trade.gov</a>. In addition, a complete version of the Issues and
Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly at <a href="https://access.trade.gov/public/FRNoticesListLayout.aspx">https://access.trade.gov/public/FRNoticesListLayout.aspx</a>.
Methodology
Commerce conducted this review in accordance with section
751(a)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). For each
of the subsidy programs found countervailable, we find that there is a
subsidy, i.e., a government-provided financial contribution that gives
rise to a benefit to the recipient, and that the subsidy is
specific.\5\ For a full description of the methodology underlying all
of Commerce's conclusions, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ See sections 771(5)(B) and (D) of the Act regarding
financial contribution; section 771(5)(E) of the Act regarding
benefit; and section 771(5A) of the Act regarding specificity.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on comments received from interested parties, we made certain
changes to the subsidy rate calculations for Assan Aluminyum Sanayi ve
Ticaret A.S. (Assan) and Panda Aluminyum A.S. (Panda) from the
Preliminary Results.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ For a full description of changes, see Issues and Decision
Memorandum.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Final Results of Review
We determine that, for the period January 1, 2022, through December
31, 2022, the following total net countervailable subsidy rates exist:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Subsidy rate
Producer/exporter (percent ad
valorem)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Assan Aluminyum Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S.\7\............... 1.10
Panda Aluminyum A.S.\8\................................. 1.46
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Disclosure
Commerce intends to disclose the calculations performed for these
preliminary results to interested parties within five days after public
announcement, or if there is no public announcement, within five days
of the date of publication of this notice in the Federal Register, in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\7\ As discussed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum, Commerce
has found the following companies to be cross-owned with Assan:
Ispak Esnek Ambalaj Sanayi A.S.; and Kibar Holding A.S. We note that
Assan has an affiliated trading company through which it exported
certain subject merchandise, Kibar Dis Ticaret A.S. (Kibar Dis).
Therefore, because Kibar Dis' subsidies are included as part of
Assan's total subsidy rate, we have not assigned a subsidy rate to
Kibar Dis. Entries of subject merchandise exported by Kibar Dis will
receive the rate of the producer listed on the U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (CBP) entry form.
\8\ We note that Panda has an affiliated trading company through
which it exported certain subject merchandise, Seherli
Dan[inodot][scedil]manl[inodot]k A.[Scedil]. (Seherli). Seherli was
not selected as a mandatory respondent but was examined in the
context of Panda. Therefore, because Seherli's subsidies are
included as part of Panda's total subsidy rate, we have not assigned
a subsidy rate to Seherli. Entries of subject merchandise exported
by Seherli will receive the rate of the producer listed on the CBP
entry form.

Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.212(b)(2), Commerce has determined, and CBP shall assess,
countervailing duties on all appropriate entries of subject merchandise
in accordance with the final results of this review, for the above-
listed companies at the applicable ad valorem assessment rates listed.
Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier
than 35 days after the date of publication of the final results of this
review in the Federal Register. If a timely summons is filed at the
U.S. Court of International Trade, the assessment instructions will
direct CBP not to liquidate relevant entries until the time for parties
to file a request for a statutory injunction has expired (i.e., within
90 days of publication).
Cash Deposit Rates
In accordance with section 751(a)(1) of the Act, Commerce intends
to instruct CBP to collect cash deposits of estimated countervailing
duties in the amounts shown for the companies listed above for
shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of publication of the
final results of this administrative review. For all non-reviewed
firms, we will instruct CBP to continue to collect cash deposits of
estimated countervailing duties at the most recent company-specific or
all-others rate (i.e., 2.60 percent) applicable to the company, as
appropriate. These cash deposits, effective upon the publication of the
final results of this review, shall remain in effect until further
notice.
Administrative Protective Order (APO)
This notice also serves as a final reminder to parties subject to
an APO of their responsibility concerning the return or destruction of
proprietary information disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR
351.305(a)(3). Timely written notification of the return/destruction of
APO materials or conversion to judicial protective order is hereby
requested. Failure to comply with the regulations and terms of an APO
is a sanctionable violation.
Notification to Interested Parties
These final results are issued and published in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5).
Dated: July 8, 2025.
