On September 19, 2025, Commerce issued a notice of intent to

Due to the lapse in appropriations and Federal Government shutdown,
on November 14, 2025, Commerce tolled all deadlines in administrative
proceedings by 47 days.\8\ 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.\9\ Accordingly, the deadline for the preliminary
results of this review is now May 11, 2026.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\8\ See Memorandum, ``Deadlines Affected by the Shutdown of the
Federal Government,'' dated November 14, 2025.
\9\ See Memorandum, ``Tolling of all Case Deadlines,'' dated
November 24, 2025.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rescission of Review
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), it is Commerce's practice to
rescind an administrative review of an AD order when there are no
reviewable entries of subject merchandise during the POR for
[[Page 17788]]
which liquidation is suspended.\10\ Normally, upon completion of an
administrative review, the suspended entries are liquidated at the AD
assessment rate for the review period.\11\ Therefore, for an
administrative review to be conducted, there must be a reviewable,
suspended entry that Commerce can instruct CBP to liquidate at the
newly calculated AD assessment rate.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\10\ See, e.g., Certain Carbon and Alloy Steel Cut-to-Length
Plate from the Federal Republic of Germany: Rescission of
Antidumping Administrative Review; 2020-2021, 88 FR 4154 (January
24, 2023).
\11\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
As noted above, there were no entries of subject merchandise for
Benteler Rothrist AG, Mubea Pr[auml]zisionsstahlrohr AG, and Mubea Inc
during the POR.\12\ Accordingly, in the absence of suspended entries of
subject merchandise during the POR, we are hereby rescinding this
administrative review, in its entirety, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.213(d)(3).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\12\ See Benteler Rothrist AG's No Shipments Letter; CBP Data
Memo.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cash Deposit Requirements
As Commerce has proceeded to a final rescission of this
administrative review, no cash deposit rates will change. Accordingly,
the current cash deposit requirements shall remain in effect until
further notice.
Assessment Rates
Commerce will instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries. Antidumping duties shall be assessed at rates
equal to the cash deposit of estimated antidumping duties required at
the time of entry, or withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption, in
the United States, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(c)(1)(i). Commerce
intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days
after the date of publication of this rescission notice in the Federal
Register.
Administrative Protective Order (APO)
This notice serves as a final 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 the APO materials, or
conversion to judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to
comply with regulations and terms of an APO is a violation, which is
subject to sanction.
Notification to Interested Parties
This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(l) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).
Dated: April 6, 2026.
