SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On April 16, 2026, Commerce published the Final Results of the
2023-2024 administrative review of the AD order on aluminum sheet from
Oman.\1\ On April 27, 2026, we received a timely filed ministerial
error allegation from Oman Aluminium Rolling Company SPC (OARC), the
respondent in this administrative review.\2\ We are amending the Final
Results to correct certain ministerial errors raised by OARC.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ See Common Alloy Aluminum Sheet from the Sultanate of Oman:
Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review; 2023-2024,
91 FR 20414 (April 16, 2026) (Final Results), and accompanying
Issues and Decision Memorandum.
\2\ See OARC's Letter, ``OARC's Ministerial Error Comments,''
dated April 27, 2026 (OARC's Ministerial Error Comments).
\3\ See Memorandum, ``Analysis of Ministerial Error
Allegations,'' dated concurrently with this notice (Ministerial
Error Memorandum).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Legal Framework
Section 751(h) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act),
defines a ``ministerial error'' as including ``errors in addition,
subtraction, or other arithmetic function, clerical errors resulting
from inaccurate copying, duplication, or the like, and any other
unintentional error which the administering authority considers
ministerial.'' \4\ With respect to final results of administrative
reviews, 19 CFR 351.224(e) provides that Commerce ``will analyze any
comments received and, if appropriate, correct any . . . ministerial
error by amending the final results of review . . .''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ See 19 CFR 351.224(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ministerial Errors
In its ministerial error comments, OARC alleged that Commerce made
ministerial errors in its programming code regarding the packing cost
adjustment to total cost of manufacturing and to the currency
conversion of packing costs.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ See OARC's Ministerial Error Comments.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
We agree with OARC that we made ministerial errors regarding the
packing cost adjustment and to the currency conversion of packing costs
in the Final Results, pursuant to section 751(h) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.224(f), and have amended our calculations to correct these
errors.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ See Ministerial Error Memorandum.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
For a complete discussion of the ministerial error allegation, as
well as Commerce's analysis, see the Ministerial Error Memorandum. The
Ministerial Error Memorandum is on file electronically via Enforcement
and Compliance's Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized
Electronic Service System (ACCESS). ACCESS is available to registered
users as <a href="https://access.trade.gov">https://access.trade.gov</a>.
Amended Final Results of Review
As a result of correcting the ministerial errors described above,
we determine that the following estimated weighted-average dumping
margin for OARC exists for the period April 1, 2023, through March 31,
2024.

Disclosure
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.224(b), we intend to disclose to parties in
this proceeding the calculations performed for these amended final
results within five days of the publication of this notice in the
Federal Register.
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 amended final
results of this review. The amended final results of this review shall
be the basis for the assessment of antidumping duties on entries of
merchandise covered by the amended final results of this review and for
future deposits of estimated duties, where applicable.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\7\ See section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), because OARC reported the entered
value for its U.S. sales, we calculated importer specific ad valorem
rates based on the ratio of the total amount of antidumping duties
calculated for each importer's examined sales to the total entered
value of those sales. Where an importer-specific assessment rate is
zero or de minimis, Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate the
appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\8\ See 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
For entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by OARC
for which it did not know that its merchandise was destined for the
United States, we will instruct CBP to liquidate such entries at the
all-others rate established in the less-than-fair-value (LTFV)
investigation, if there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies)
involved in the transaction.
Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier
than 35 days after the date of publication of the amended 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
[[Page 32006]]
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 amended cash deposit requirements will be effective
upon publication of the final results of this review for 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 OARC will be
equal to the weighted-average dumping margin established in the final
results of this administrative review; (2) for merchandise exported by
a producer or exporter not covered in this 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 in which the producer or exporter
participated; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this review,
a prior review, or the original LTFV investigation, but the producer
is, the cash deposit rate will be the rate established for the most
recently completed segment of the proceeding for the producer of the
merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit rate for all other producers and
exporters will continue to be 5.29 percent ad valorem, the all-others
rate established in the LTFV investigation.\9\ 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 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 the antidumping duties occurred 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 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 violation which
is subject to sanction.
Notification to Interested Parties
This determination is issued and published in accordance with
sections 751(h) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.224(e).
Dated: May 22, 2026.
