SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On January 27, 2025, based on timely requests for review, in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i), we initiated an administrative
review of the countervailing duty order on MAE from
[[Page 35460]]
China.\1\ On March 7, 2025, Commerce selected Dingli as the mandatory
respondent in this review.\2\ On April 28, 2025, the Coalition of
American Manufacturers of Mobile Access Equipment (the petitioners)
timely withdrew its request for review for two companies.\3\

2025.
\3\ See Company's Letter, ``Partial Withdrawal of Request for
Administrative Review,'' dated April 28, 2025 (Partial Withdrawal of
Request).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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\ Further, 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\ On January 16, 2026, Commerce extended the deadline for
issuing these preliminary results by 111 days, in accordance with
section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the
Act).\6\ On May 28, 2026, Commerce extended the deadline for issuing
these preliminary results by six days, in accordance with section
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.\7\

Federal Government,'' dated November 14, 2025.

Results of the Countervailing Duty Administrative Review of Mobile

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scope of the Order
The product covered by the Order is MAE from China. For a complete
description of the scope of the Order, see the Preliminary Decision
Memorandum.
Rescission of Administrative Review, In Part
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), Commerce will rescind an
administrative review, in whole or in part, if all parties that
requested the review withdraw their requests within 90 days of the date
of publication of the notice of initiation. As noted above, Commerce
received timely-filed withdrawal requests with respect to Oshkosh JLG
(Tianjin) Equipment Technology Co., Ltd and Terex (Changzhou) Machinery
Co., Ltd, and no other parties requested a review of these companies.
Therefore, we are rescinding this administrative review with respect to
Oshkosh JLG (Tianjin) Equipment Technology Co., Ltd and Terex
(Changzhou) Machinery Co., Ltd., pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1).
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), it is Commerce's practice to
rescind an administrative review of a countervailing duty order where
it concludes that there were no suspended entries of subject
merchandise during the POR.\9\ Normally, upon completion of an
administrative review, the suspended entries are liquidated at the CVD
assessment rate calculated for the POR.\10\ Therefore, for an
administrative review to be conducted, there must be a reviewable,
suspended entry that Commerce can instruct U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) to liquidate at the CVD rate calculated for the
POR.\11\ Commerce notified all interested parties of its intent to
rescind this administrative review regarding the companies listed in
Appendix III.\12\ No party commented on this memorandum. In the absence
of any suspended entries of subject merchandise from these companies
during the POR, we are rescinding this administrative review for the
companies listed in Appendix III, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.213(d)(3).

\11\ See, e.g., Shanghai Sunbeauty Trading Co. v. United States,
380 F.Supp.3d 1328, 1337 (CIT 2019), at 12 (referring to section
751(a) of the Act, the U.S. Court of International Trade held that
``{w{time} hile the statute does not explicitly require that an
entry be suspended as a prerequisite for establishing entitlement to
a review, it does explicitly state the determined rate will be used
as the liquidation rate for the reviewed entries. This result can
only obtain if the liquidation of entries has been suspended''; see

to be liquidated at the newly calculated assessment rate'').
\12\ See Memorandum, '' Notice of Intent to Rescind Review, In
Part,'' dated February 9, 2026 (Intent to Rescind Memorandum).
Oshkosh JLG (Tianjin) Equipment Technology Co., Ltd. was included in
the list of companies to be rescinded on in Commerce's Intent to
Rescind Memorandum. However, as explained above, the petitioners
timely withdrew its request for this company.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Methodology
Commerce is conducting this administrative review in accordance
with section 751(a)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the
Act). For each of the subsidy programs found countervailable, Commerce
preliminarily determines that there is a subsidy, i.e., a financial
contribution by an ``authority'' that gives rise to a benefit to the
recipient, and that the subsidy is specific.\13\ For a full description
of the methodology underlying our conclusions, including our reliance,
in part, on facts otherwise available with adverse inferences pursuant
to sections 776(a) and (b) of the Act, see the Preliminary Decision
Memorandum.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\13\ See sections 771(5)(B) and (D) of the Act regarding
financial contribution; section 771(5)(E) of the Act regarding
benefit; and section 771(5A) of the Act regarding specificity.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rate for Non-Individually Examined Companies
The Act and Commerce's regulations do not address the establishment
of a rate to apply to companies not selected for individual examination
when Commerce limits its examination in an administrative review
pursuant to section 777A(e)(2) of the Act. Generally, Commerce looks to
section 705(c)(5) of the Act, which provides instructions for
calculating the all-others rate in a CVD investigation. Section
777A(e)(2) of the Act provides that ``the individual countervailable
subsidy rates determined under subparagraph (A) shall be used to
determine the all-others rate under section 705(c)(5) {of the
Act{time} .''
[[Page 35461]]
Under section 705(c)(5)(A)(i) of the Act, the all-others rate is
normally an amount equal to the weighted average countervailable
subsidy rates established for each of the companies individually
investigated, excluding any rates that are zero, de minimis (i.e., less
than 0.5 percent), or determined entirely on the basis of facts
available. Where the countervailable subsidy rates for each of the
individually examined companies is zero, de minimis, or based entirely
on facts available, section 705(c)(5)(A)(ii) of the Act provides that
Commerce may use ``any reasonable method to establish an all-others
rate for exporters and producers not individually investigated,
including averaging the weighted average countervailable subsidy rates
determined for the exporters and producers individually investigated.''
In this administrative review, we preliminarily calculated an
individual estimated countervailable subsidy rate for Dingli, the sole
individually examined respondent in this review. Because this
individually calculated subsidy rate is not zero, de minimis, or based
entirely on facts otherwise available, we are preliminarily assigning
the subsidy rate calculated for Dingli to the companies under review
that were not selected for individual examination, pursuant to section
705(c)(5)(A)(i) of the Act.
Preliminary Results of Review
As a result of this review, we preliminarily determine the
following net countervailable subsidy rates exist for the POR, January
1, 2023, through December 31, 2023:

shall determine, and CBP shall assess, countervailing duties on all
appropriate entries covered by this review.
For the companies listed above and in Appendix III for which the
review is being rescinded, Commerce will instruct CBP to assess
countervailing duties on all appropriate entries at a rate equal to the
cash deposit of estimated countervailing 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 rescission
instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days after the date of

Cash Deposit Requirements
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.107(e),
Commerce intends to instruct CBP to collect cash deposits of estimated
countervailing duties with regard to shipments of subject merchandise
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the
date of publication of the final results of this review, as follows:
(1) the cash deposit
[[Page 35462]]
rate for the companies listed above will be equal to the company-
specific estimated individual countervailable subsidy rates determined
in the final results of this review, except if the rate is less than
0.50 percent and, therefore, de minimis within the meaning of 19 CFR
351.106(c)(1), in which case the cash deposit rate will be zero; (2) if
both the producer and exporter of the subject merchandise have company-
specific estimated subsidy rates assigned, and their rates differ, then
the applicable cash deposit rate will be the higher of these two rates;
(3) if either the producer or the exporter, but not both, of the
subject merchandise has a company-specific estimated subsidy rate
assigned, the applicable cash deposit rate will be that company's
company-specific rate; and (4) the cash deposit rate for all other
producers and exporters will be continue to be 12.98 percent, the all-
others subsidy rate established in the investigation.\22\ These cash
deposit instructions, when imposed, shall remain in effect until
further notice.
