SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On May 21, 1999, Commerce published in the Federal Register the
antidumping duty (AD) order on SSPC from Taiwan.\1\ On May 5, 2025,
Commerce published in the Federal Register a notice of opportunity to
request an administrative review of the Order for the POR.\2 \On June
25, 2025, based on timely request for review, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.221(c)(1)(i), we initiated an AD administrative review of the
Order.\3\

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\ 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.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ See Memorandum, ``Deadlines Affected by the Shutdown of the
Federal Government,'' dated November 14, 2025.
\5\ See Memorandum, ``Tolling of all Case Deadlines,'' dated
November 24, 2025.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
For a complete description of the events that followed the
initiation of this review, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.\6\
A list of topics discussed in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum is
attached as Appendix I to this notice. The Preliminary Decision
Memorandum is a public document and is on file electronically via
ACCESS. ACCESS is available to registered users at <a href="http://access.trade.gov">http://access.trade.gov</a>. In addition, a complete version of the Preliminary
Decision Memorandum can be access directly at <a href="https://access.trade.gov/frnotices">https://access.trade.gov/frnotices</a>.

\6\ See Memorandum, ``Decision Memorandum for the Preliminary
Results of the Administrative Review of the Antidumping Duty Order
on Certain Stainless Steel Plate in Coils from Taiwan; 2024-2025,''
dated concurrently with, and hereby adopted by, this notice
(Preliminary Decision Memorandum).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scope of the Order
The product covered by the Order is SSPC from Taiwan. For a full
description of the scope of the Order, see Preliminary Decision
Memorandum.
Rescission of Administrative Review, in Part
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), Commerce will rescind an
administrative review, in whole or in part, if a company covered by the
review had no recorded entries of subject merchandise during the
POR.\7\ Normally, upon completion of an administrative review, the
suspended entries are liquidated at the AD assessment rate calculated
for the review period.\8\ Therefore, for an administrative review of a
company to be conducted, there must be a suspended entry that Commerce
can instruct CBP to liquidate at the AD assessment rate calculated for
the review period.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\7\ See, e.g., Dioctyl Terephthalate from the Republic of Korea:
Rescission of Antidumping Administrative Review; 2021-2022, 88 FR
24758 (April 24, 2023); see also Certain Carbon and Alloy Steel Cut-
to-Length Plate from the Federal Republic of Germany: Recission of
Antidumping Administrative Review; 2020-2021, 88 FR 4157 (January
24, 2023).
\8\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
\9\ See 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On July 21, 2025, we placed on the record U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) data for entries of SSPC from Taiwan during the POR,
showing no suspended entries during the POR for 71 companies (see
Appendix II) and invited interested parties to comment.\10\ No
interested party submitted comments regarding the CBP data. On February
10, 2026, Commerce notified all interested parties of its intent to
rescind the administrative review, in part, with respect to these 71
companies because there were no suspended entries of subject
merchandise during the POR and invited interested parties to
comment.\11\ No interested party submitted comments in response to this
notice. Accordingly, in the absence of suspended entries of subject
merchandise during the POR for these companies for which this review
was initiated, we are hereby rescinding this administrative review, in
part, with respect to these 71 companies, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.213(d)(3).\12\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\10\ See Memorandum, ``Release of U.S. Customs and Border
Protection Entry Data,'' dated July 21, 2025.
\11\ See Memorandum, ``Notice of Intent to Rescind Review, In
Part,'' dated February 10, 2026.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Methodology
Commerce is conducting this review in accordance with sections
751(a)(1)(B) and (2) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).
Pursuant to sections 776(a), (b), and (c) of the Act, Commerce
preliminarily assigned a weighted-average dumping margin to Yuan Long
based on facts available with adverse inferences (AFA). For a full
description of the methodology underlying our conclusions, see the
Preliminary Decision Memorandum.
Preliminary Results of Review
Commerce preliminarily determines that the following weighted-
average dumping margin exists for the period May 1, 2024, through April
30, 2025:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weighted-
average
Producer or exporter dumping
margin
(percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yuan Long Stainless Steel Corporation...................... 25.01
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Disclosure
Normally, Commerce discloses to interested parties the calculations
performed in preliminary results within five days of any public
announcement or, if there is no public announcement, within five days
of the date of publication of the notice of preliminary results in the
Federal Register, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). However,
because Commerce preliminarily applied total AFA to Yuan Long, in
accordance with section 776 of the Act, the applied rate is based on a
rate calculated using data placed on the record by Commerce.\13\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\13\ See Memorandum, ``Placing Taiwanese Export Data on the
Record and AFA Rate Calculation,'' dated concurrently with this
notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Public Comment
Case briefs or other written comments may be submitted to the
Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.\14\ Pursuant to 19
CFR 351.309(c)(1)(ii), we have modified the deadline for interested
parties to submit case briefs to Commerce to no later than 21 days
after the date of the publication of this notice.\15\ Rebuttal briefs,
limited to issues raised in the case briefs, may be filed not later
than five days after the date for filing case briefs.\16\ Interested
parties who submit case or rebuttal briefs in this proceeding must
submit: (1) a statement of the issue; (2) a brief summary of the
argument; and (3) a table of authorities.\17\ All briefs must be filed
electronically using ACCESS. An electronically filed document must be
received successfully in its entirety in ACCESS by 5:00 p.m. Eastern
Time (ET) on the established deadline.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\14\ See 19 CFR 351.309(c)(1)(ii); see also 19 CFR 351.303 (for
general filing requirements).
\15\ See 19 CFR 351.309.
\16\ See 19 CFR 351.309(d); see also Administrative Protective
Order, Service, and Other Procedures in Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Proceedings, 88 FR 67069, 67077 (September 29,
2023) (APO and Service Procedures).
\17\ See 19 CFR 351.309(c)(2) and (d)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
As provided under 19 CFR 351.309(c)(2)(iii) and (d)(2)(iii), we
request that interested parties provide at the beginning of their
briefs a public, executive summary for each issue raised in their
briefs.\18\ Further, we request that interested parties limit their
public executive summary of each issue to no more than 450 words, not
including citations. We intend to use the public executive summaries as
the basis of the comment summaries included in the issues and decision
memorandum that will accompany the final results in this administrative
review. We request that
[[Page 50768]]
interested parties include footnotes for relevant citations in the
public executive summary of each issue. Note that Commerce has amended
certain of its requirements pertaining to the service of documents in
19 CFR 351.303(f).\19\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\18\ We use the term ``issue'' here to describe an argument
Commerce would normally address in a comment of the Issues and
Decision Memorandum.
\19\ See APO and Service Procedures, 88 FR at 67077.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), interested parties who wish to
request a hearing, limited to issues raised in the case and rebuttal
briefs, must submit a written request to the Assistant Secretary for
Enforcement and Compliance, U.S. Department of Commerce, filed
electronically via ACCESS by 5:00 p.m. ET within 30 days after the date
of publication of this notice.\20\ Hearing requests should contain: (1)
the party's name, address, and telephone number; (2) the number of
participants and whether any participant is a foreign national; and (3)
a list of issues to be discussed. If a request for a hearing is made,
parties will be notified of the date, time, and location of the
hearing.\21\ Parties should confirm the date and time of the hearing
two days before the scheduled date.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\20\ See 19 CFR 351.310(c).
\21\ See 19 CFR 351.310(d).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the Act, upon completion of the
final results of this administrative review, Commerce shall determine,
and CBP shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries of
subject merchandise covered by this review.\22\ If the weighted-average
dumping margins for Yuan Long continues to be based upon total AFA for
the final results of this review, Commerce will instruct CBP to assess
antidumping duties on subject merchandise sold by Yuan Long and
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption during the POR at
a rate equal to the weighted-average dumping margin in the final
results. The final results of this review shall be the basis for the
assessment of antidumping duties on entries of merchandise covered by
this review and for future deposits of estimated duties, where
applicable.\23\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\22\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
\23\ See section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Commerce's ``automatic assessment'' practice will apply to entries
of subject merchandise during the POR produced by companies included in
these final results of review for which the reviewed companies did not
know that the merchandise they sold to the intermediary (e.g., a
reseller, trading company, or exporter) was destined for the United
States. In such instances, 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.\24\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\24\ For a full discussion of this practice, see AD Assessment.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
For the companies listed in Appendix II for which the review is
being rescinded, Commerce will instruct CBP to assess antidumping
duties on all appropriate entries. Antidumping duties shall be assessed
at rates equal to the cash deposit rate for 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 rescission instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days
after the date of publication of this notice in the Federal Register.
Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP regarding
Yuan Long 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 deposit requirements will be effective upon
publication in the Federal Register of the notice of final results of
this administrative review for all shipments of the subject merchandise
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the
date of publication, as provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act:
(1) the cash deposit rate for Yuan Long will be equal to the weighted-
average dumping margins established in the final results of this
review, except if the rates are 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 rates will be zero; (2) for merchandise exported by a
company 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 cash deposit 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 previous segment, but the producer is, then the cash
deposit rate will be the rate established in the completed segment for
the most recent period for the producer of the merchandise; and (4) the
cash deposit rate for all other producers or exporters will continue to
be 7.39 percent, the all-others rate established in the less-than-fair-
value investigation.\25\ These deposit requirements, when imposed,
shall remain in effect until further notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\25\ See Order, 64 FR at 27757.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Final Results of Review
Unless the deadline is otherwise extended, Commerce intends to
issue the final results of this administrative review, including the
results of its analysis of issues raised by interested parties in the
written comments, within 120 days of publication of these preliminary
results in the Federal Register.\26\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\26\ See section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act; see also 19 CFR
351.213(h)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a preliminary 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 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.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing these preliminary results in
accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR
351.213 and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(4).
