Methodology

    Commerce is conducting this investigation in accordance with 
section 731 of the Act. We calculated export prices in accordance with 
section 772(a) of the Act and normal value in accordance with section 
773 of the Act. Furthermore, pursuant to sections 776(a) and (b) of the 
Act, Commerce has preliminarily based the estimated weighted-average 
dumping margin for NSG (Malaysian Sheet Glass) on facts otherwise 
available, with adverse inferences. In addition, pursuant to section 
776(a) of the Act, Commerce has preliminarily based the estimated 
weighted-average dumping margin for Jinjing Technology Malaysia Sdn. 
Bhd. (Jinjing Malaysia) on facts otherwise available, in part. For a 
full description of the methodology underlying the preliminary 
determination, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.

Preliminary Affirmative Determination of Critical Circumstances, in 
Part

    In accordance with section 733(e) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.206, 
Commerce preliminarily finds that critical circumstances do not exist 
for Jinjing Malaysia, Xinyi Energy Smart (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd. (Xinyi 
Malaysia), and all other producers and exporters not individually 
examined. However, Commerce found that critical circumstances exist for 
NSG (Malaysian Sheet Glass). For a full description of Commerce's 
critical circumstances analysis, see the Preliminary Decision 
Memorandum.

All-Others Rate

    Sections 733(d)(1)(ii) and 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act provide that, in 
the preliminary determination, Commerce shall determine an estimated 
all-others rate for all exporters and producers not individually 
examined. This rate shall be an amount equal to the weighted average of 
the estimated weighted-average dumping margins established for 
exporters and producers individually investigated, excluding rates that 
are zero, de minimis, or determined entirely under section 776 of the 
Act.
    In this investigation, Commerce calculated estimated weighted-
average dumping margins for Jinjing Malaysia and Xinyi Malaysia that 
are not zero, de minimis, or based entirely on facts otherwise 
available. Accordingly, Commerce calculated the all-others rate using a 
weighted average of the estimated weighted-average dumping margins 
calculated for the examined respondents using each company's publicly-
ranged total U.S. sale values for the merchandise under 
consideration.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ With two respondents under examination, Commerce normally 
calculates: (A) a weighted-average of the estimated weighted-average 
dumping margins calculated for the examined respondents; (B) a 
simple average of the estimated weighted-average dumping margins 
calculated for the examined respondents; and (C) a weighted-average 
of the estimated weighted-average dumping margins calculated for the 
examined respondents using each company's publicly-ranged U.S. sales 
values for the merchandise under consideration. Commerce then 
compares (B) and (C) to (A) and selects the rate closest to (A) as 
the most appropriate rate for all other producers and exporters. 
See, e.g., Ball Bearings and Parts Thereof from France, Germany, 
Italy, Japan, and the United Kingdom: Final Results of Antidumping 
Duty Administrative Reviews, Final Results of Changed-Circumstances 
Review, and Revocation of an Order in Part, 75 FR 53661, 53662 
(September 1, 2010), and accompanying Issues and Decision Memorandum 
at Comment 1. For a complete analysis of the data, see Memorandum, 
``All-Others Rate Calculation,'' dated concurrently with this 
notice.

Preliminary Determination

    Commerce preliminarily determines that the following estimated 
weighted-average dumping margins exist:

Suspension of Liquidation and Cash Deposit Requirements
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ See Float Glass Products from Malaysia: Preliminary 
Affirmative Countervailing Duty Determination and Alignment of Final 
Determination With Final Antidumping Duty Determination, 90 FR 21278 
(May 19, 2025), and accompanying Preliminary Decision Memorandum at 
Appendix.
    \10\ After Commerce selected ``Xinyi Energy Smart (M) SDN BHD'' 
as a mandatory respondent, the company clarified that its legal name 
is Xinyi Energy Smart (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd. See Memorandum, 
``Respondent Selection,'' dated February 18, 2025; see also ``Xinyi 
Malaysia's Response to the Fifth Sales Supplemental Questionnaire,'' 
dated June 26, 2025.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In accordance with section 733(d)(2) of the Act, Commerce will 
direct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to suspend liquidation 
of entries of subject merchandise, as described in Appendix I, entered, 
or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of 
publication of this notice in the Federal Register. to require a cash 
deposit for estimated antidumping duties equal to the estimated 
weighted-average dumping margin, as follows: (1) for merchandise 
exported by the respondents listed in the table above, the cash deposit 
rate will be equal to the company-specific estimated weighted-average 
dumping margin, appropriately adjustment for export subsidy offsets, 
determined in this preliminary determination; (2) if the exporter is 
not a respondent identified in the table above, but the producer is, 
then the cash deposit rate will be equal to the company-specific 
estimated weighted-average dumping margin, appropriately adjusted for 
export subsidy offsets, established for that producer of the subject 
merchandise; and (3) the cash deposit rate for all other producers and 
exporters will be equal to the all-others estimated weighted-average 
dumping margin, appropriately adjusted for export subsidy offsets, in 
this preliminary determination.
    Section 733(e)(2) of the Act provides that where there is an 
affirmative determination of critical circumstances, any suspension of 
liquidation shall apply to unliquidated entries of subject merchandise 
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the 
later of: (a) the date which is 90 days before the date on which the 
suspension of liquidation was first ordered; or (b) the date on which 
notice of initiation of the investigation was published. Commerce 
preliminarily finds that critical circumstances exist for imports of 
subject merchandise produced or exported by NSG (Malaysian Sheet 
Glass). In accordance with section 733(e)(2)(A) of the Act, the 
suspension of liquidation and cash deposit requirements shall apply to 
unliquidated entries of shipments of subject merchandise produced or 
exported by NSG (Malaysian Sheet Glass) that were entered, or withdrawn 
from warehouse, for consumption on or after the date which is 90 days 
before the publication of this notice in the Federal Register.
    To determine the cash deposit rate, Commerce normally adjusts the 
estimated weighted-average dumping margin by the amount of export 
subsidies countervailed in a companion countervailing duty (CVD) 
proceeding, when CVD provisional measures are in effect. Accordingly, 
where Commerce preliminarily made an affirmative determination for 
countervailable export subsidies, Commerce has offset the estimated 
weighted-average dumping margin by the appropriate countervailed export 
subsidy rate. Any such adjusted estimated weighted-average dumping 
margin is listed in the ``Preliminary Determination'' section above.
    Should provisional measures in the companion CVD investigation 
expire prior to the expiration of provisional measures in this LTFV 
investigation, Commerce will direct CBP to begin collecting estimated 
antidumping duty cash deposits at a rate equal to the estimated 
weighted-average dumping margins calculated in this preliminary 
determination unadjusted for export subsidies at the time the CVD 
provisional measures expire. These suspension of liquidation 
instructions and cash deposit requirements will remain in effect until 
further notice.

Disclosure

    Commerce intends to disclose its calculations and analysis 
performed in this preliminary determination to parties to the 
proceeding within five days of any 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).
    Consistent with 19 CFR 351.224(e), Commerce will analyze and, if 
appropriate, correct any timely allegations of significant ministerial 
errors by amending the preliminary determination. However, consistent 
with 19 CFR 351.224(d), Commerce will not consider incomplete 
allegations that do not address the significance standard under 19 CFR 
351.224(g) following the preliminary determination. Instead, Commerce 
will address such allegations in the final determination together with 
issues raised in the case briefs or other written comments.

Verification

    As provided in section 782(i)(1) of the Act, Commerce intends to 
verify the information relied upon in making its final determination.

Public Comment

    Case briefs or other written comments on non-scope issues may be 
submitted to the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance no 
later than seven days after the date on which the last verification 
report is issued in

this investigation. A timeline for the submission of case briefs and 
written comments will be notified to interested parties at a later 
date. Rebuttal briefs, limited to issues raised in the case briefs, may 
be filed not later than five days after the date for filing case 
briefs.\11\ Interested parties who submit case or rebuttal briefs in 
this proceeding must submit: (1) a table of contents listing each 
issue; and (2) a table of authorities.\12\

Order, Service, and Other Procedures in Antidumping and 
Countervailing Duty Proceedings, 88 FR 67069, 67077 (September 29, 
2023) (APO and Service Final Rule).
    \12\ See 19 CFR 351.309(c)(2) and (d)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    As provided under 19 CFR 351.309(c)(2) and (d)(2), in prior 
proceedings Commerce has encouraged interested parties to provide an 
executive summary of their brief that should be limited to five pages 
total, including footnotes. In this investigation, we instead request 
that interested parties provide at the beginning of their briefs a 
public, executive summary for each issue raised in their briefs.\13\ 
Further, we request that interested parties limit their executive 
summary of each issue to no more than 450 words, not including 
citations. We intend to use the executive summaries as the basis of the 
comment summaries included in the issues and decision memorandum that 
will accompany the final determination in this investigation. We 
request that interested parties include footnotes for relevant 
citations in the executive summary of each issue. Note that Commerce 
has amended certain of its requirements pertaining to the service of 
documents in 19 CFR 351.303(f).\14\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ We use the term ``issue'' here to describe an argument that 
Commerce would normally address in a comment of the Issues and 
Decision Memorandum.
    \14\ See APO and Service Final Rule.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), interested parties who wish to 
request a hearing, limited to issues raised in the case and rebuttal 
briefs, must submit a written request to the Assistant Secretary for 
Enforcement and Compliance, U.S. Department of Commerce, within 30 days 
after the date of publication of this notice in the Federal Register. 
Requests should contain: (1) the party's name, address, and telephone 
number; (2) the number of participants and whether any participant is a 
foreign national; and (3) a list of the issues to be discussed. If a 
request for a hearing is made, Commerce intends to hold the hearing at 
a time and date to be determined. Parties should confirm by telephone 
the date, time, and location of the hearing two days before the 
scheduled date.

Postponement of Final Determination and Extension of Provisional 
Measures

    Section 735(a)(2) of the Act provides that a final determination 
may be postponed until not later than 135 days after the date of the 
publication of the preliminary determination in the Federal Register 
if, in the event of an affirmative preliminary determination, a request 
for such postponement is made by exporters who account for a 
significant proportion of exports of the subject merchandise, or in the 
event of a negative preliminary determination, a request for such 
postponement is made by the petitioner. Section 351.210(e)(2) of 
Commerce's regulations requires that a request by exporters for 
postponement of the final determination be accompanied by a request for 
extension of provisional measures from a four-month period to a period 
not more than six months in duration.
    In June 2025, Jinjing Malaysia and Xinyi Malaysia requested that 
Commerce postpone the final determination and that the provisional 
measures be extended to a period not to exceed six months.\15\ In 
accordance with section 735(a)(2)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 
351.210(b)(2)(ii), because: (1) the preliminary determination is 
affirmative; (2) the requesting exporters account for a significant 
proportion of exports of the subject merchandise; and (3) no compelling 
reasons for denial exist, Commerce is postponing the final 
determination and extending the provisional measures from a four-month 
period to a period not greater than six months. Accordingly, Commerce 
will make its final determination no later than 135 days after the date 
of publication of this preliminary determination in the Federal 
Register.

Appendix I

Scope of the Investigation

    The scope of this investigation covers float glass products 
(FGP), which are articles of soda-lime-silica glass that are 
manufactured by floating a continuous strip of molten glass over a 
smooth bath of tin (or another liquid metal with a density greater 
than molten glass), cooling the glass in an annealing lehr, and 
cutting it to appropriate dimensions. For purposes of the 
investigation, float glass products have an actual thickness of at 
least 2.0 mm (0.0787 inches) and an actual surface area of at least 
0.37 square meters (4.0 square feet).
    The country of origin of each float glass product is determined 
by the location where the soda-lime-silica glass is first 
manufactured by floating a continuous strip of molten glass over a 
smooth bath of tin and cooling the glass in an annealing lehr, 
regardless of the location of any downstream finishing or 
fabrication operations.
    Prior to being subjected to further treatment, finishing, or 
fabrication, float glass products meet the requirements of Type I 
under ASTM-C1036 of the American Society for Testing and Materials 
(ASTM).
    Float glass products may be clear, stained, tinted, or coated 
with one or more materials. Examples of coated float glass products 
include Low-E architectural glass (i.e., glass with a low emissivity 
coating to limit the penetration of radiant heat energy) and 
frameless mirrors (i.e., flat glass with a silver, aluminum, or 
other reflective layer) such as mirror stock sheet.
    Float glass products may be annealed, chemically strengthened, 
heat strengthened, or tempered to achieve a desired surface 
compression, pursuant to ASTM-C1048, ASTM-C1422/C1422M, or other 
similar specifications.
    Float glass products include tub and shower enclosures (i.e., 
doors and panels) made of tempered glass, which may be sold with 
attached or unattached hardware. In such cases, the scope covers 
only the tempered glass, to the exclusion of any non-glass hardware.
    The only float glass product assemblies included within the 
scope are: (1) articles consisting of two of more sheets of float 
glass that are bonded together using a polymer interlayer (i.e., 
laminated glass); (2) insulating glass units (IGUs), which consist 
of two or more sheets of float glass separated by a spacer material 
and hermetically sealed together at the edge in order to create a 
thermal barrier using air or one or more gases but excluding any 
non-float glass components (other than the spacer and

[[Page 31609]]

insulating materials) that may be mounted within the space between 
sheets of float glass (e.g., blinds, wrought iron cores, and camed 
patterned glass), as such non-float glass components are deemed 
outside the scope and not subject to duties; and (3) LED mirrors 
(i.e., float glass mirrors with one or more light-emitting diodes 
attached to or integrated with the mirror, as well as framed float 
glass mirrors with one or more light-emitting diodes attached to or 
integrated with the mirror or the mirror frame, but without other 
electronic functionality such as digital or video displays or audio 
circuitry).
    Float glass products covered by the scope may meet one or more 
of the ASTM-C162, ASTM-C1036, ASTM-C1048, ASTM-C1172, ASTM-C1349, 
ASTM-C1376, ASTM-C1422/C1422M, ASTM-C1464, ASTM-C1503, ASTM-C1651, 
ASTM-E1300, and ASTM-E2190 specifications, definitions, and/or 
standards.
    Float glass products may be further worked, including, but not 
limited to, operations such as: cutting; beveling; edging; notching; 
drilling; etching; bending; curving; chipping; embossing; engraving; 
surface grinding; or polishing; and sandblasting (i.e., using high 
velocity air to stream abrasive particles and thereby impart a 
frosted aesthetic to the glass surface). A float glass product which 
undergoes further work remains within the scope so long as the soda-
lime-silica glass originally satisfied the requirements of ASTM-
C1036 Type I and was first manufactured in a subject country, 
regardless of where it is further worked.
    Excluded from the scope are: (1) wired glass (i.e., glass with a 
layer of wire mesh embedded within); (2) patterned flat glass (i.e., 
rolled glass with a pattern impressed on one or both sides) meeting 
the requirements of Type II under ASTM-C1036, including greenhouse 
glass and patterned solar glass (i.e., photovoltaic glass with a 
textured surface); (3) safety glazing materials for vehicles 
certified to American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Standard 
Z26.1; (4) vacuum insulating glass (VIG) units, which consist of two 
or more sheets of float glass separated by a spacer material, with 
at least one hermetically sealed compartment that uses a gas-free 
vacuum as a thermal barrier; (5) framed mirrors without any LEDs 
integrated with the mirror or the mirror frame; (6) unframed ``over-
the-door'' mirrors that are ready for use as imported without 
undergoing after importation any processing, finishing, or 
fabrication; and (7) heat-strengthened washing machine lid glass 
with an actual surface area less than 6.0 square feet (0.56 square 
meters).
    Also excluded from the scope of the investigation are: (1) soda-
lime-silica glass containing less than 0.01 percent iron oxide by 
weight, annealed with a surface compression less than 3,500 pounds 
per square inch (PSI), having a transparent conductive oxide base 
coating (e.g., tin oxide), and with an actual thickness less than or 
equal to 4.0 mm (0.1575 inches) (i.e., ``coated solar glass''); and 
(2) heat treated soda-lime-silica glass with a surface compression 
between 3,500 and 10,000 PSI, containing two or more drilled holes, 
and having an actual thickness less than 2.5 mm (0.0984 inches) 
(i.e., ``clear back solar glass''). Solar glass products (also known 
as photovoltaic glass) are designed to facilitate the conversion of 
solar energy into electricity.
    Also excluded are metal-camed glass products (i.e., panels of 
glass joined together with metal banding) where the constituent 
glass panels would otherwise be excluded by reason of their size 
(e.g., an actual surface area less than 0.37 square meters, or 4.0 
square feet) and/or by reason of consisting of patterned flat glass 
(i.e., rolled glass with a pattern impressed on one or both sides) 
meeting the requirements of Type II under ASTM-C1036.
    Also excluded from the scope of the investigation are any 
products already covered by the scope of any extant antidumping and/
or countervailing duty orders, including Aluminum Extrusions from 
the People's Republic of China: Antidumping Duty Order, 76 FR 30650 
(May 26, 2011), and Aluminum Extrusions from the People's Republic 
of China: Countervailing Duty Order, 76 FR 30653 (May 26, 2011).
    The products subject to the investigation are currently
