SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On October 3, 2025, Commerce published in the Federal Register the
Preliminary Results of this administrative review.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ See Prestressed Concrete Steel Wire Strand from Malaysia:
Preliminary Results and Rescission, in Part, of Antidumping Duty
Administrative Review; 2023-2024, 90 FR 48037 (October 3, 2025)
(Preliminary Results), and accompanying Preliminary Decision
Memorandum.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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\ In March 2026, Commerce conducted verification
of Kiswire's and Wei Dat's questionnaire responses.\4\ On March 9,
2026, Commerce extended the deadline for the final results.\5\
Accordingly, the deadline for these final results is now May 29, 2026.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ See Memorandum, ``Deadlines Affected by the Shutdown of the
Federal Government,'' dated November 14, 2025.

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.
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on our review of the record and comments received from
interested parties, we made certain changes to the preliminary margin
calculations for Kiswire and Wei Dat. For a detailed discussion of the
changes since the Preliminary Results, see the Issues and Decision
Memorandum.
Rate for Non-Examined Companies
The Act and Commerce's regulations do not address the establishment
of a weighted-average dumping margin to be determined for companies not
selected for individual examination when Commerce limits its
examination in an administrative review pursuant to section 777A(c)(2)
of the Act. Generally, Commerce looks to section 735(c)(5) of the Act,
which provides instructions for calculating the all-others rate in a
market economy investigation, for guidance when calculating the rate
for companies which were not selected for individual examination in an
administrative review. Under section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act, the all-
others rate is normally ``an amount equal to the weighted average of
the estimated weighted-average dumping margins established for
exporters and producers individually investigated, excluding any zero
and de minimis margins, and any margins determined entirely {on the
basis of facts available{time} .'' Where the dumping margin for
individually examined respondents are all zero, de minimis, or based
entirely on facts available, section 735(c)(5)(B) of the Act provides
that Commerce may use ``any reasonable method to establish the
estimated all-others rate for exporters and producers not individually
investigated, including averaging the estimated weighted average
dumping margins determined for the exporters and producers individually
investigated.''
In this review, we calculated weighted-average dumping margins for
Kiswire and Wei Dat that are zero and we did not calculate any margins
which are not zero, de minimis, determined entirely on the basis of
facts available. Therefore, consistent with section 735(c)(5)(B) of the
Act, we are applying to Southern PC Steel, the company not selected for
individual examination in this review, a margin of 0.00 percent.
Final Results of Review
As a result of this review, we determine the following weighted-
average dumping margins exist for the period June 1, 2023, through May
31, 2024:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weighted-
average
Exporter/producer dumping
margin
(percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kiswire Sdn. Bhd............................................ 0.00
Wei Dat Steel Wire Sdn. Bhd................................. 0.00
Southern PC Steel Sdn. Bhd.................................. 0.00
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Disclosure
Commerce intends to disclose the calculations performed for the
final results of this review to parties in this proceeding 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 Final Register, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.224(b).\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\8\ See 19 CFR 351.224(b).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) 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 in accordance with the final results of
this review. Because Kiswire and Wei Dat's weighted-average dumping
margins are zero percent, we will instruct CBP to liquidate the
appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties.
[[Page 33141]]
For entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by
Kiswire and Wei Dat for which these companies did not know the
merchandise was destined for the United States, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate unreviewed entries at the all-others rate if there is no rate
for the intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction.\9\ For
Southern PC Steel, we will assign an assessment rate based on the
methodology described in the ``Rates for Non-Examined Companies''
section, above.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\9\ For a full discussion of this practice, 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 the companies listed in these final results 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 manufacturers or exporters will
continue to be 5.13 percent, the all-others rate established in the
less-than-fair-value investigation.\10\ These cash deposit
requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further
notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\10\ See Order, 86 FR at 30000.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 the POR. 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
administrative protective order (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 these results in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5).
Dated: May 29, 2026.
