Analysis of the Comments Received
All issues raised in the case and rebuttal briefs are addressed in
the Issues and Decision Memorandum. A list of the issues which parties
raised, and to which we respond in the Issues and Decision Memorandum,
is attached as Appendix I 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 no
changes to the margin calculations for ATC or ATF.\10\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\10\ See Issues and Decision Memorandum.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rate for Companies Not Selected for Individual Examination
The Act and Commerce's regulations do not address the rate to be
applied to companies not selected for individual examination when
Commerce limits its examination in an administrative review pursuant to
section 777A(c)(2) of the Act. Generally, Commerce looks to section
735(c)(5) of the Act, which provides instructions for calculating the
all-others rate in an investigation, for guidance when calculating the
weighted-average dumping margin for respondents that were not
individually examined in an administrative review. Section 735(c)(5)(A)
of the Act provides that the all-others rate should be calculated by
weight averaging the weighted-average dumping margins determined for
individually examined respondents, excluding rates that are zero, de
minimis, or based entirely on facts available.
We calculated a weighted-average dumping margin of zero for one of
the two mandatory respondents, ATF. Therefore, we have assigned a
dumping margin to the companies not selected for individual examination
in this review based on the rate calculated for the other mandatory
respondent, ATC. The companies not selected for individual examination
are listed in Appendix II.
Final Results of Review
As a result of this review, we determine the following estimated
weighted-average dumping margins exist for the period March 1, 2023,
through February 29, 2024:

review are listed in Appendix II.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 new calculations to disclose.
Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b),
Commerce will determine, 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. Commerce
intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days
after the date of publication date 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).
ATC and ATF did not report the actual entered value for their U.S.
sales; thus, we calculated importer-specific per-unit duty assessment
rates by aggregating the total amount of antidumping duties calculated
for the examined sales and dividing this amount by the total quantity
of those sales. Where either a respondent's weighted-average dumping
margin is zero or de minimis within the meaning of 19 CFR
351.106(c)(1), or an importer specific assessment rate is zero or de
minimis, we will instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries
without regard to antidumping duties.
Commerce's ``automatic assessment'' practice will apply to entries
of subject merchandise during the POR produced by ATC or ATF for which
the reviewed companies did not know that the merchandise they sold to
the intermediary (i.e., a reseller, trading company, or exporter) was
destined for the United States.\12\ In such instances, we will instruct
CBP to liquidate unreviewed entries at the all-others rate if there is
no rate for the intermediate
[[Page 9555]]
company(ies) involved in the transaction.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\12\ For a full discussion of this practice, see Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties,
68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Finally, for the companies listed in Appendix II which were not
selected for individual examination, we will assign an assessment rate
based on the rate calculated for ATC, as described in the ``Rate for
Companies Not Selected for Individual Examination'' section, above.\13\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\13\ See section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cash Deposit Instructions
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 date of publication of
this notice in the Federal Register, as provided for by section
751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) the cash deposit rate for the companies
listed above will be equal to the weighted-average dumping margin
established in the final results of this review, except if the rate is
less than 0.50 percent and, therefore, de minimis within the meaning of
19 CFR 351.106(c)(1), in which case the cash deposit rate will be zero;
(2) for previously investigated or reviewed companies not covered in
this review, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the company-
specific cash deposit rate published for the most recently completed
segment of this proceeding in which the company participated; (3) if
the exporter is not a firm covered in this review, a prior review, or
the less-than-fair-value (LTFV) investigation, but the manufacturer is,
then the cash deposit rate will be the rate established for the most
recent segment for the manufacturer of the merchandise; and (4) the
cash deposit rate for all other manufacturers or exporters will
continue to be zero, the all-others rate established in the LTFV
investigation.\14\ These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall
remain in effect until further notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\14\ See Order, 82 FR at 12554; see also Correction, 82 FR at
25599.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 review period. 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 final reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective order 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.
Notification of Interested Parties
This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.
Dated: February 23, 2026.
Scot Fullerton,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing
Duty Operations.
