SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On August 5, 2025, Commerce published in the Federal Register the
Preliminary Results of this administrative review and invited
interested parties to comment.\1\ From August 29 to September 10, 2025,
OARC and the petitioners \2\ submitted case and rebuttal briefs.\3\ Due
to the lapse in appropriations and Federal Government shutdown, on
November 14, 2025, Commerce tolled all deadlines in administrative
proceedings by 47 days.\4\ 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.\5\ Between February 9 and April 2, 2026, Commerce
extended the deadline for the final results.\6\ Accordingly, the
deadline for these final results is now April 13, 2026.

Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised in the case and rebuttal briefs are listed in the
appendix to this notice and addressed in the Issues and Decision
Memorandum. A list of the issues addressed in the Issues and Decision
Memorandum is attached to this notice as an Appendix.
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on a review of the record, we made certain changes to the
preliminary margin calculations for OARC. For a detailed discussion of
the changes since the Preliminary Results, see the Issues and Decision
Memorandum.
Final Results of Administrative Review
As a result of this review, we determine the following weighted-
average dumping margin for the period April 1, 2023, through March 31,
2024:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weighted-
average
Exporter/producer dumping
margin
(percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Oman Aluminium Rolling Company SPC.......................... 14.71
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Disclosure
Commerce intends to disclose the calculations performed for the
final results of this review to parties within five days after public
announcement of the final results or, if there is no public
announcement, within five days of the date of publication of this
notice in the Federal Register, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).
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 OARC's weighted-average dumping margin is not zero or de
minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent) in the final results of this
review, we calculated importer-specific assessment rates based on the
ratio of the total amount of dumping calculated for each importer's
examined sales and the total entered value of those same sales in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). Where an importer-specific
assessment rate is zero or de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent),
the entries by that importer will be liquidated without regard to
antidumping duties.
Commerce's ``automatic assessment'' practice will apply to entries
of subject merchandise during the POR produced by OARC for which it 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 if there is no rate for the intermediate
[[Page 20415]]
company(ies) involved in the transaction.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\9\ 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 date of publication of the
final results as provided by section 751(a)(2) of the Act: (1) the cash
deposit rate for subject merchandise exported by OARC will be equal to
the weighted-average dumping margin established in these final results
of this administrative review; (2) for merchandise exported by
producers or exporters not covered in this review but covered in a
prior completed segment of this proceeding, the cash deposit rate will
continue to be the company-specific rate published in the completed
segment for the most recent period; (3) if the exporter is not a firm
covered in this review or a completed prior segment of this proceeding
but the producer is, then the cash deposit rate will be the cash
deposit 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 and exporters will
continue to be 5.29 percent, the all-others rate established in the
less-than-fair-value investigation.\10\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\10\ See Order, 86 FR at 62791.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in
effect until further notice.
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). 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 violation subject to sanction.
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).
Dated: April 13, 2026.
