SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On August 12, 2025, Commerce published the Preliminary Results and
[[Page 10587]]
invited interested parties to comment.\1\ We received no comments from
interested parties on the Preliminary Results. Therefore, we made no
changes from the Preliminary Results and, accordingly, there is no
decision memorandum accompanying this Federal Register notice. Commerce
conducted this administrative review in accordance with section 751 of
the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ See Certain Carbon and Alloy Steel Cut-to-Length Plate from
the Federal Republic of Germany: Preliminary Results of Antidumping
Duty Administrative Review; 2023-2024, 90 FR 38733 (August 12, 2025)
(Preliminary Results), and accompanying Preliminary Decision
Memorandum (PDM).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 this final
determination is now February 17, 2026.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\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.

Final Results of Review
We determine that the following estimated weighted-average dumping
margin exists for the period May 1, 2023, through April 30, 2024:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weighted-
average
Producer/exporter dumping
margin
(percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
AG der Dillinger H[uuml]ttenwerke.......................... 0.00
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Disclosure
Normally, Commerce discloses to interested parties the calculations
performed in connection with the final results of review within five
days of any 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 Commerce made no changes from 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)(1), Commerce has determined, 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 AG der Dillinger
H[uuml]ttenwerke (Dillinger) is zero, 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 Dillinger for which the
reviewed company did not know that the merchandise it sold to the
intermediary (e.g., a reseller, trading company, or exporter) was
destined for the United States. In such instances, we will instruct CBP
to liquidate unreviewed entries at the all-others rate (i.e., 20.99
percent) \6\ if there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies)
involved in the transaction.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ See Certain Carbon and Alloy Steel Cut-to-Length Plate From
the Federal Republic of Germany: Notice of Court Decision Not in
Harmony With the Amended Final Determination of Antidumping
Investigation; Notice of Second Amended Final Determination, 89 FR
1882, 1883 (January 11, 2024) (Second Amended Final Determination).
\7\ 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 this notice 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 upon
publication in the Federal Register of these final results of
administrative review for all shipments of the subject merchandise
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the
publication date, as provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1)
the cash deposit rate for Dillinger is the weighted-average dumping
margin listed above; (2) for previously investigated or reviewed
companies not listed above, 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 company participated; (3) if
the exporter is not a firm covered in this review, or the less-than-
fair-value investigation, but the producer is, then the cash deposit
rate will be the cash deposit rate established for the most recently
completed segment for the producer of the subject merchandise; and (4)
the cash deposit rate for all other producers and exporters will
continue to be 20.99 percent, the all-others rate established in the
Second Amended Final Determination.\8\ These cash deposit requirements,
when imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\8\ See Second Amended Final Determination, 89 FR at 1883.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 serves as the only reminder to parties subject to an
APO of their responsibility concerning the disposition 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 terms of an APO is a sanctionable
violation.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with
sections
[[Page 10588]]
751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5).
Dated: February 17, 2026.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Policy and Negotiations, performing the
