SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On June 12, 2025, Commerce published the Preliminary Results of
this administrative review in the Federal Register and invited
interested parties to comment.\1\ Due to the lapse in appropriations
and Federal Government shutdown, on November 14, 2025, Commerce tolled
all deadlines in administrative proceedings by 47 days.\2\
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.\3\
Accordingly, the deadline for these final results is now December 17,
2025. For a complete description of the events that occurred since the
Preliminary Results, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum.\4\

recipient, and that the subsidy is specific.\6\ The subsidy programs
under review, and the issues raised in case and rebuttal briefs
submitted by the interested parties, are discussed in the Issues and
Decision Memorandum.
