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

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