SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On April 11, 2025, Commerce published in the Federal Register the
Preliminary Results and invited interested parties to comment.\1\ On
August 1, 2025, Commerce extended the deadline to issue its final
results for this review by 60 days to no later than October 8, 2025.\2\
Due to the lapse in appropriations and Federal Government shutdown, on
November 14, 2025, Commerce tolled all deadlines in administrative
proceedings by 47 days.\3\ Additionally, due to a backlog of documents
that were electronically filed via Enforcement and Compliance's
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service
System (ACCESS) during the Federal Government shutdown, on November 24,
2025, Commerce tolled all deadlines in administrative proceedings by an
additional 21 days.\4\ Accordingly, the deadline for these final
results is now December 15, 2025. For a complete description of the
events that followed the initiation of this review, see the Issues and
Decision Memorandum.\5\

Analysis of Subsidy Programs and Comments Received
A list of the issues that parties raised, to which we responded in
the Issues and Decision Memorandum, is included 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).

Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on our review and analysis of comments received from parties,
for these final results, we made certain changes to the countervailable
subsidy rate calculations for Dingli. For a discussion of these
changes, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum.
Methodology
Commerce is conducting 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 financial contribution by a government or public
entity that gives rise to a benefit to the recipient, and that the
subsidy is specific.\7\ For a full description of the methodology
underlying our conclusions, including
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\7\ 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

our reliance, in part, on facts otherwise available with adverse
inferences pursuant to sections 776(a) and (b) of the Act, see the
Issues and Decision Memorandum.

subsidy rates exist for the period, January 1, 2022, through December

Disclosure
Commerce intends to disclose its calculations and analysis
performed for the final results of review within five days after the
date of publication of this notice in the Federal Register, in

Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR

Protection (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. We intend to issue assessment instructions to
CBP no earlier than 35 days after the date of publication of these
final results of 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 Requirements
In accordance with section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act, Commerce also
intends to instruct CBP to collect cash deposits of estimated
countervailing duties in the amounts shown for each of the respective
companies listed above on shipments of subject merchandise entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of
publication of the final results of this administrative review.\9\ For
all non-reviewed firms subject to the Order, we will instruct CBP to
continue to collect cash deposits of estimated countervailing duties at
the most recent company-specific or all-others rate applicable to the
company, as appropriate. These cash deposit requirements, effective
upon publication of these final results, shall remain in effect until
further notice.
