SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On August 22, 2025, Commerce published the Preliminary Results of
this administrative review in the Federal Register and invited comments
from interested parties.\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 current deadline for the final results of this review
is now February 26, 2026.

\1\ See Carbon Steel Flanges from Spain: Preliminary Results of
Antidumping Duty Administrative Review and Rescission of Review in
Part; 2023-2024, 90 FR 41059 (August 22, 2025) (Preliminary
Results), and accompanying Preliminary Decision Memorandum (PDM).
\2\ See Memorandum, ``Deadlines Affected by the Shutdown of the
Federal Government,'' dated November 14, 2025.
\3\ See Memorandum, ``Tolling of all Case Deadlines,'' dated
November 24, 2025.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
We received no comments from interested parties on the Preliminary
Results, and we made no changes from the Preliminary Results.
Accordingly, no decision memorandum accompanies this notice and the
Preliminary Results are hereby adopted as these final results. Commerce
conducted this administrative review in accordance with section
751(a)(1)(B) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).

Disclosure
Normally, Commerce discloses to interested parties the calculations
of the final results of an administrative review within five days of a
public announcement or, if there is no public announcement, within five
days of the date of publication of the notice of final results in the
Federal Register, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). However,
because we have made no changes to the Preliminary Results, there are
no calculations to disclose.
Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act, and 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1), Commerce has determined in these final results of this
review, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess,
antidumping duties on all appropriate entries of subject merchandise
during the POR. Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), we calculated
importer-specific ad valorem duty assessment rates on the basis of the
ratio of the total amount of dumping calculated for examined sales to
each importer to the total entered value of those sales. Where an
importer-specific assessment rate is de minimis within the meaning of
19 CFR 351.106(c)(1), we will instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate
entries without regard to antidumping duties. In accordance with
Commerce's ``automatic assessment'' practice, for entries of subject
merchandise that entered the United States during the POR that were
produced by ULMA for which it did not know its merchandise was destined
for the United States, Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate
unreviewed entries at the all-others rate (i.e., 18.81 percent),\6\ if
there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies) involved in the
transaction.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ See Order, 82 FR 27230.
\7\ For a full discussion of this practice, 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).
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective for all
shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date of this
notice in the Federal Register, as provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of
the Act: (1) the cash deposit rate for ULMA will be zero, the rate
established in the final results of this review; (2) for previously
reviewed or investigated companies not participating in this review,
the cash deposit rate will continue to be the company-specific rate
published for the most recently completed segment of this proceeding in
which the producer or exporter participated; (3) if the exporter is not
a firm covered in this review, a prior review, or the original
investigation but the producer is, the cash deposit rate will be the
rate established for the most recently completed segment of this
proceeding for the producer of the subject merchandise; and (4) the
cash deposit rate for all other producers or exporters will continue to
be the all-others rate established in the less-than-fair-value
investigation (i.e., 18.81 percent).\8\ These cash deposit
requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further
notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\8\ See Order, 82 FR at 27229.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notification to Importers
This notice also 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 POR. 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.
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 destruction or return 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 sanctionable
violation.
Notification to Interested Parties
These final results are being issued and published in accordance
with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR
351.221(b)(5).
Dated: February 13, 2026.
