SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On June 4, 2025, Commerce published in the Federal Register the
preliminary results of the administrative review of the antidumping
duty (AD) order on sodium nitrite from India.\1\ On July 18, 2025,
Commerce issued a post-preliminary analysis in this administrative
review and invited interested parties to comment.\2\ On September 24,
2025, pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (the Act), Commerce extended the time period for issuing the
final results of this review by an additional 60 days, until December
1, 2025.\3\

Due to the lapse in appropriations and Federal Government shutdown,

proceedings by 47 days.\4\ Additionally, due to a backlog of documents
that were electronically filed via Enforcement and Compliance's
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized
[[Page 6622]]
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.\5\ Accordingly,
the deadline for these final results is now February 9, 2026.

Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised in the case and rebuttal briefs submitted by
interested parties in this review are addressed in the Issues and
Decision Memorandum. A list of the issues addressed in the Issues and
Decision Memorandum is attached in the appendix to this notice.
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on a review of the record and comments received from
interested parties regarding our Preliminary Results, we made certain
changes to Deepak's weighted-average dumping margin calculations. For a
discussion of these changes, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum.
Final Results of Administrative Review
We determine that the following estimated weighted-average dumping
margin exists for the period August 17, 2022, through January 31, 2024:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weighted-
average
Producer or exporter dumping
margin
(percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Deepak Nitrite Limited..................................... 0.00
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Disclosure
Commerce intends to disclose the calculations and analysis
performed in connection with the final results of this administrative
review to interested parties within five days of any public
announcement or, if there is no public announcement, within five days
of the publication date of this notice in the Federal Register, in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).
Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b),
Commerce shall determine, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries of subject
merchandise in accordance with the final results of this review.
Because the weighted-average dumping margin for Deepak is zero, we will
instruct CBP to liquidate appropriate entries without regard to
antidumping duties in accordance with the Final Modification for
Reviews.\8\ For entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced
by Deepak for which it did not know that the merchandise was destined
to the United States, we will instruct CBP to liquidate those entries
at the all-others rate established in the original less-than-fair-value
(LTFV) investigation of 42.76 percent,\9\ if there is no rate for the
intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction.\10\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\8\ See Antidumping Proceedings: Calculation of the Weighted-
Average Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping
Duty Proceedings; Final Modification, 77 FR 8101 (February 14, 2012)
(Final Modification for Reviews) at 8103; see also 19 CFR
351.106(c)(2).
\9\ See Order, 88 FR at 12314.
\10\ See Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Proceedings:
Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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).\11\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\11\ See 19 CFR 351.212(c)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective for all
shipments of subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the publication date of the final results
of this administrative review in the Federal Register, as provided for
by section 751(a)(2) of the Act: (1) the cash deposit rate for
companies subject to this review will be the rates established in these
final results of the review; (2) for merchandise exported by producers
or exporters not covered in this review but covered in a prior segment
of the proceeding, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the
company-specific rate published for the most recent period; (3) if the
exporter is not a firm covered in this review, a prior review, or the
original investigation but the producer is, then the cash deposit rate
will be the rate established for the most recent period for the
producer of the merchandise; (4) the cash deposit rate for all other
producers or exporters will continue to be 42.76 percent, the all-
others rate established in the LTFV investigation.\12\ These cash
deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until
further notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\12\ See Order, 88 FR at 12314.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 and/or countervailing duties
prior to liquidation of the relevant entries during this POR. Failure
to comply with this requirement could result in Commerce's presumption
that reimbursement of antidumping and/or countervailing duties has
occurred and the subsequent assessment of double antidumping duties
and/or an increase in the amount of antidumping duties by the amount of
the countervailing duties.
Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Order (APO)
This notice also serves as a 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), which continues to govern business proprietary
information in this segment of the proceeding. 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 the terms of an APO is a sanctionable
violation.

sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5).
