SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On July 19, 2021, Commerce published in the Federal Register the AD 
order on passenger tires from Korea.\1\ Commerce received timely 
requests for review of the Order from Hankook Tire & Technology Co., 
Ltd. and Hankook Tire America Corp. (collectively, Hankook), Nexen Tire 
Corporation (Nexen), and Kumho Tire Co., Inc. (Kumho).\2\ On August 22, 
2025, Commerce published the initiation notice in the Federal Register 
for four companies, in accordance with section 751(a) of the Tariff Act 
of 1930, as amended (the Act).\3\ Between August 2025 and January 2026, 
interested parties timely withdrew their requests for an administrative 
review.\4\

Republic of Korea, Taiwan, and Thailand: Antidumping Duty Orders and 
Amended Final Affirmative Antidumping Duty Determination for 
Thailand, 86 FR 38011 (July 19, 2021) (Order).
    \2\ See Hankook's Letter, ``Request for Administrative Review,'' 
dated July 28, 2025; see also Nexen's Letter, ``Request for 
Administrative Review,'' dated July 31, 2025; Kumho's Letter, 
``Request for Administrative Review,'' dated July 31, 2025.
    \3\ See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Reviews, 90 FR 41043 (August 22, 2025).
    \4\ See Nexen's Letter, ``Withdrawal of Request for 
Administrative Review,'' dated August 26, 2025; see also Hankook's 
Letter, ``Withdrawal of Request for Administrative Review,'' dated 
January 6, 2026; Kumho's Letter, ``Withdraw Request for 
Administrative Review,'' dated January 6, 2026.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Due to the lapse in appropriations and Federal Government shutdown, 
on November 14, 2025, Commerce tolled all deadlines in administrative 
proceedings by 47 days.\5\ 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.\6\ Accordingly, the deadline for these preliminary 
results is now June 9, 2026.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See Memorandum, ``Deadlines Affected by the Shutdown of the 
Federal Government,'' dated November 14, 2025.
    \6\ See Memorandum, ``Tolling of all Case Deadlines,'' dated 
November 24, 2025.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rescission of Review

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), Commerce will rescind an 
administrative review, in whole or in part, if a party who requested 
the review withdraws the request within 90 days of the date of 
publication of notice of initiation of the requested review in the 
Federal Register. All parties withdrew their requests for review by the 
90-day withdrawal deadline, and no other parties requested a review. 
Therefore, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), Commerce is 
rescinding this review.

Assessment

    Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to 
assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. Antidumping 
duties shall be assessed at rates equal to the cash deposit rate of 
estimated antidumping duties required at the time of entry, or 
withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption, 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.

Notification to Importers

    This notice serves as the only 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.

Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Order (APO)

    This notice also 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 these segments of these proceedings. 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

    This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections 
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: April 24, 2026.
Scot Fullerton,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Operations.
