SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On April 11, 2025, Commerce published the Preliminary Results in
the Federal Register and invited interested parties to comment on those
results.\1\ On July 31, 2025, Commerce extended the deadline for
issuing the final results of this review by 60 days until 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\ Accordingly, the deadline for
these final results of review is now November 24, 2025. For details
regarding the events that occurred subsequent to publication of the
Preliminary Results in the Federal Register, see the Issues and
Decision Memorandum.\4\ Commerce conducted this administrative review
in accordance with section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended
(the Act).

Scope of the Order

from Japan. For a complete description of the scope of the Order, see
the Issues and Decision Memorandum.
Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised in the case and rebuttal briefs are addressed in
the Issues and Decision Memorandum. A list of the issues that parties
raised and to which we responded in the Issues and Decision Memorandum
is provided in the 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

Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on our review of the record and comments received from
interested parties regarding the Preliminary Results, we made certain
changes to the margin calculation for NSC. Specifically, Commerce has
applied partial adverse facts available (AFA) to NSC in these final
results rather than total AFA. For a discussion of these changes, see
the Issues and Decision Memorandum.
Final Results of Review
Commerce determines that the following estimated weighted-average
dumping margin exists for the period December 1, 2022, through November
30, 2023:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weighted-
average
Exporter or producer dumping
margin
(percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nippon Steel Corporation................................... 47.80
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Disclosure
Normally, Commerce discloses to parties to the proceeding the
calculations performed in connection with the final results of review
within five days of any public announcement of the final results of
review or, if there is no public announcement, within five days of the
date of publication of the notice of final results of review in the
Federal Register, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).
Assessment of Antidumping Duties
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1), Commerce has determined, and U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries of subject merchandise covered by the final results of this
review.\5\ Specifically, Commerce will instruct CBP to assess
antidumping duties on subject merchandise sold by NSC and entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption during the POR at a rate
equal to the weighted-average dumping margin listed in the table above.
Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier
than 35 days after the publication date 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).

Average Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping
Proceedings: Final Modification, 77 FR 8101 (February 14, 2012)
(Final Modification).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements for estimated antidumping
duties will be effective for all shipments of subject merchandise
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on, or after, the
date of publication of this notice in the Federal Register, as provided
for by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) for merchandise exported by
NSC, the cash deposit rate will be equal to the weighted-average
dumping margin listed in the table above; (2) the cash deposit rate for
an exporter not covered by this administrative review, but covered in a
prior completed segment of this proceeding, will continue to be the
exporter's existing company-specific cash deposit rate; (3) if the
exporter is not covered by this administrative review, or a completed
segment of this proceeding, but the producer of the subject merchandise
is covered, the cash deposit rate will be the producers' existing
company-specific cash deposit rate; and (4) the cash deposit rate for
all other producers and exporters will continue to be 135.59 percent,
the all-others cash deposit rate established in the Final Determination
of the less-than-fair-value investigation in this proceeding.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ See Order, 79 FR at 71743.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in
effect until further notice.
Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a final reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate
regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation
of the relevant entries during this period of review. Failure to comply
with this requirement could result in Commerce's presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping duties.
[[Page 59503]]
Administrative Protective Order (APO)
This notice also serves as a final reminder to parties subject to
an APO of their responsibility to return or destroy proprietary
information disclosed under an APO in accordance with 19 CFR
351.305(a)(3). Timely written notification of the return or 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 violation subject to sanction.
Notification to Interested Parties
Commerce is issuing and publishing the final results of this review
in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19
CFR 351.221(b)(5).
