SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On July 25, 2025, based on timely requests for review, and in
accordance with section 751(a)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended
(the Act), and 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i), we initiated an administrative
review of the antidumping duty Order on prestressed concrete steel wire
strand (PC strand) from Ukraine.\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
April 14, 2026,
[[Page 57539]]
we extended the preliminary results of this review to no later than
August 14, 2026.\4\ On July 22, 2026, Commerce further extended the
preliminary results of this review, to August 31, 2026.\5\ On August
28, 2026, Commerce extended the preliminary results of this review to
September 4, 2026.\6\

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\8\ 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).
\9\ 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.\10\ 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 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).\11\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\10\ We use the term ``issue'' here to describe an argument that
Commerce would normally address in a comment of the Issues and
Decision Memorandum.
\11\ See APO and Service Procedures.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), interested parties who wish to
request a hearing must submit a written request to the Assistant
Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance, filed electronically via
ACCESS by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time within 30 days after the date of
publication of this notice. Requests should contain: (1) the party's

hearing will be limited to issues raised in the briefs. If a request
for a hearing is made, Commerce will inform parties of the scheduled
date for the hearing.\12\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\12\ See 19 CFR 351.310(d).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Final Results of Review
Unless the deadline is extended pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of
the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2), Commerce intends to issue the final
results of this administrative review, including the results of our
analysis of the issues raised in any case briefs, not later than 120
days after the date of publication of this notice.
Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1), Commerce will 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.
If Stalkanat's weighted-average dumping margin is not zero or de
minimis (i.e., less than 0.50 percent) in the final results of this
review, Commerce intends to calculate importer-specific assessment
rates on the basis of the ratio of the total amount of dumping
calculated for each importer's examined sales to the total entered
value of those sales. Where we do not have entered values for all U.S.
sales to a particular importer, we will calculate an importer-specific,
per-unit assessment rate on the basis of the ratio of the total amount
of dumping calculated for the importer's examined sales to the total
quantity of those sales.\13\ To determine whether an importer-specific,
per-unit assessment rate is de minimis, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.106(c)(2), we also will calculate an importer-specific ad
[[Page 57540]]
valorem ratio based on estimated entered values. If Stalkanat's
weighted-average dumping margin is zero or de minimis or where an
importer-specific ad valorem assessment rate is zero or de minimis, we
will instruct CBP to liquidate appropriate entries without regard to
antidumping duties.\14\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\13\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
\14\ See 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2); see also Antidumping Proceeding:
Calculation of the Weighted-Average Dumping Margin and Assessment
Rate in Certain Antidumping Proceedings; Final Modification, 77 FR
8101, 8103 (February 14, 2012).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In accordance with Commerce's ``automatic assessment'' practice,
for entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by Stalkanat
for which it did not know that the merchandise was destined for the
United States, we intend to instruct CBP to liquidate those entries at
the all-others rate calculated in the less-than-fair-value (LTFV)
investigation if there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies)
involved in the transaction.\15\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\15\ 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 regarding
Stalkanat 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 for all
shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date of the
final results of this administrative review, as provided by section
751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) the cash deposit rate for the company
listed above will be that established 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) for previously investigated or
reviewed companies not covered by this review, the cash deposit rate
will continue to be the company-specific cash deposit rate published
for the most recently completed segment of this proceeding in which the
company participated; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this
review, or the LTFV investigation, but the manufacturer is, then the
cash deposit rate will be the rate established for the most recent
segment for the manufacturer of the merchandise; and (4) the cash
deposit rate for all other manufacturers or exporters will continue to
be 19.30 percent, the all-others rate established in the LTFV
investigation.\16\ These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall
remain in effect until further notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\16\ See Order.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notification to Importers
This notice also 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 review period. 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 of review
in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19
CFR 351.213(h)(2) and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(4).
Dated: September 4, 2026.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Policy and Negotiations, performing the
non-exclusive functions and duties of the Assistant Secretary for
