SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On September 19, 2025, Commerce published the Preliminary Results 
and invited comments from interested parties.\1\ 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\ On March 18, 2026, we extended the final results of this 
review by 14 days, until April 9, 2026.\4\ Finally, on April 9, 2026, 
Commerce extended the deadline for this proceeding by an additional 14 
days, until April 23, 2026.\5\

Final Successor-in-Interest Determination

    In the Preliminary Results, Commerce determined that Resonac 
Corporation (Resonac) is the successor-in-interest to Showa Denko K.K. 
(Showa Denko).\8\ As no party commented on this issue and because we 
have not received any information to contradict our preliminary 
finding, we continue to find that Resonac is the successor-in-interest 
to Showa Denko.

Changes Since the Preliminary Results

    Based on our review of the record and comments received from 
interested parties, we made no changes to the margin calculations for 
Yuki Gosei Kogyo Co., Ltd./Nagase & Co., Ltd. (YGK/Nagase), and to the 
margin assigned to Resonac.

Final Results of the Administrative Review

    We determine that the following estimated weighted-average dumping 
margins exist for the period June 1, 2023, through May 31, 2024:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                               Weighted-
                                                                average
                      Producer/exporter                         dumping
                                                                margin
                                                               (percent)

Resonac Corporation.........................................       86.22

Disclosure
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ Based on the record information, Commerce preliminarily 
determined that Nagase and YGK are affiliated within the meaning of 
section 771(33)(E) of the Act, and should be treated as a single 
entity pursuant to 19 CFR 351.401(f). See Preliminary Results. No 
party commented on our preliminary determination with respect to 
this issue, and we have received no new information regarding this 
issue. Therefore, we continue to determine that Nagase and YGK are 
affiliated within the meaning of section 771(33)(E) of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Normally, Commerce discloses to interested parties the calculations 
of the final results of an administrative review within five days of a 
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 we have made no changes to the Preliminary Results, there are 
no calculations to disclose.

Assessment Rate

    Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR 
351.212(b)(1), Commerce shall determine, and U.S. Customs and Border 
Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate 
entries of subject merchandise covered by the final results of this 
review.\10\ For any individually examined respondents whose weighted-
average dumping margin is above de minimis (i.e., 0.5 percent), we 
calculated importer-specific ad valorem duty assessment rates based on 
the ratio of the total amount of dumping calculated for the importer's 
examined sales to the total entered value of those same sales, in 
accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). Upon issuance of the final 
results of this administrative review, if any importer-specific 
assessment rates calculated in the final results are above de minimis, 
Commerce will issue instructions directly to CBP to assess antidumping 
duties on appropriate entries.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ In these final results, Commerce applied the assessment 
rate calculation method adopted in Antidumping Proceedings: 
Calculation of the Weighted-Average Dumping Margin and Assessment 
Rate in Certain Antidumping Proceeding; Final Modification, 77 FR 
8101 (February 14, 2012).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    To determine whether the duty assessment rates covering the period 
were de minimis, in accordance with the requirement set forth in 19 CFR 
351.106(c)(2), we calculated importer- (or customer-) specific ad 
valorem rates by aggregating the amount of dumping calculated for all 
U.S. sales to that importer or customer and dividing this amount by the 
total entered value of the sales to that importer (or customer). Where 
an importer (or customer)-specific ad valorem rate is greater than de 
minimis, and the respondent has reported reliable entered values, we 
will apply the assessment rate to the entered value of the importer's/
customer's entries during the POR.
    Commerce intends to issue appropriate assessment instructions 
directly 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,

[[Page 23061]]

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 of this notice for all shipments of subject merchandise 
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the 
publication of these final results, as provided by section 751(a)(2) of 
the Act: (1) the cash deposit rate for respondents noted above will be 
equal to the weighted-average dumping margins established in the final 
results of this administrative review; (2) for merchandise exported by 
producers or exporters not covered in this administrative review but 
covered in a prior segment of the proceeding, the cash deposit rate 
will continue to be the company-specific rate published for the most 
recently completed segment of this proceeding; (3) if the exporter is 
not a firm covered in this review, a prior review, or the original 
investigation, but the producer is, the cash deposit rate will be the 
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 or exporters will continue to 
be 53.66 percent, the all-others rate established in the less-than-
fair-value investigation.\11\ These cash deposit requirements, when 
imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ See Order.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Notification to Importers Regarding the Reimbursement of Duties

    This notice also serves as a final reminder to importers of their 
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f) to file a certificate regarding 
the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation of the 
relevant entries during the POR. Failure to comply with this 
requirement could result in Commerce's presumption that reimbursement 
of antidumping duties did occur and the subsequent assessment of 
doubled antidumping duties.

Administrative Protective Order (APO)

    This notice also serves as a 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/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 sanctionable 
violation.

Notification to Interested Parties

    We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.213(h) and 
19 CFR 351.221(b)(5).

    Dated: April 23, 2026.
Christopher Abbott,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Policy and Negotiations, performing the 
non-exclusive functions and duties of the Assistant Secretary for 
Enforcement and Compliance.
