Background

On June 17, 2024, pursuant to section 781(b) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 351.226(i), the requester filed circumvention inquiry requests alleging that hangers completed in Cambodia using: (1) steel wire and/or (2) steel wire and paper accessories, produced in China or Vietnam are circumventing the AD order on hangers from China or the AD and CVD orders on steel hangers from Vietnam, 1 and accordingly, should be covered by the scope of the China Order and the scope of the Vietnam Orders. 2 On July 17, 2024, Commerce extended the deadline to initiate this circumvention inquiry by 15 days in accordance with 19 CFR 351.226(d)(1). 3

On August 1, 2024, January 10, 2025, and February 19, 2025 Commerce issued supplemental questionnaires to the requester. 4 On December 10, 2024, January 23, 2025, and July 7, 2025, the requester responded to Commerce's supplemental requests for information, respectively. 5 Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.226(d)(1), the 30-day time period for Commerce to determine whether to accept or reject the request and whether to initiate or not initiate a circumvention inquiry began on July 7, 2025. We received no comments on these requests.

The merchandise covered by the scope of the China Order and the Vietnam Orders is hangers from China and Vietnam, respectively. For a complete description of the scope of the China Order and the Vietnam Orders, see the Circumvention Initiation Checklists. 6

These circumvention inquiries cover hangers completed in Cambodia using: (1) steel wire and/or (2) steel wire and paper accessories produced in China or Vietnam that are then subsequently exported from Cambodia to the United States.

Section 351.226(d) of Commerce's regulations states that if Commerce determines that a request for a circumvention inquiry satisfies the requirements of 19 CFR 351.226(c), then Commerce “will accept the request and initiate a circumvention inquiry.” Section 351.226(c)(1) of Commerce's regulations, in turn, requires that each circumvention inquiry request allege “that the elements necessary for a circumvention determination under section 781 of the Act exist” and be “accompanied by information reasonably available to the interested party supporting these allegations.” The requester alleged circumvention pursuant to section 781(b) of the Act, which pertains to merchandise completed or assembled in other foreign countries.

Section 781(b)(1) of the Act provides that Commerce may find circumvention of an AD or CVD order when merchandise of the same class or kind subject to the order is completed or assembled in a foreign country other than the country to which the order applies. In conducting a circumvention inquiry under section 781(b)(1) of the Act, Commerce relies on the following criteria: (A) merchandise imported into the United States is of the same class or kind as any merchandise produced in a foreign country that is the subject of an AD or CVD order; (B) before importation into the United States, such imported merchandise is completed or assembled in another foreign country from merchandise which is subject to the order or is produced in the foreign country that is subject to the order; (C) the process of assembly or completion in the foreign country referred to in section (B) is minor or insignificant; (D) the value of the merchandise produced in the foreign country to which the AD or CVD order applies is a significant portion of the total value of the merchandise exported to the United States; and (E) the administering authority determines that action is appropriate to prevent evasion of such order.

In determining whether the process of assembly or completion in a foreign country is minor or insignificant under section 781(b)(1)(C) of the Act, section 781(b)(2) of the Act directs Commerce to consider: (A) the level of investment in the foreign country; (B) the level of research and development in the foreign country; (C) the nature of the production process in the foreign country; (D) the extent of production facilities in the foreign country and (E) whether or not the value of processing performed in the foreign country represents a small proportion of the value of the merchandise imported into the United States. However, no single factor, by itself, controls Commerce's determination of whether the process of assembly or completion in a third country is minor or insignificant. 7 Accordingly, Commerce will evaluate each of these five factors, depending on the totality of the circumstances of the particular circumvention inquiry. 8

In addition, section 781(b)(3) of the Act sets forth additional factors to consider in determining whether to include merchandise assembled or completed in a foreign country within the scope of an AD or CVD order. Specifically, Commerce shall take into account such factors as: (A) the pattern of trade, including sourcing patterns; (B) whether the manufacturer or exporter of the merchandise that was shipped to the foreign country is affiliated with the person who, in the foreign country, uses the merchandise to complete or assemble the merchandise which is subsequently imported into the United States; and (C) whether imports of the merchandise into the foreign country have increased after the initiation of the investigation that resulted in the issuance of such order.

Based on our analysis of the requester's circumvention inquiry requests and supplemental questionnaire responses, we determine that the requester has satisfied the criteria under 19 CFR 351.226(c) to warrant the initiation of these circumvention inquiries. Therefore, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.226(d)(1)(iii), we are initiating the requested circumvention inquiries. For a full discussion of the basis for our decision to initiate these circumvention inquiries, see the Circumvention Initiation Checklists. As confirmed in the Circumvention Initiation Checklists, Commerce found that the information provided by the requester warrants initiating the circumvention inquiries on a country-wide basis. Commerce has taken this approach in prior circumvention inquiries, where the facts warranted initiation on a country-wide basis. 9

Consistent with the approach in the prior circumvention inquiries that we initiated on a country-wide basis, Commerce intends to issue questionnaires to solicit information from producers and exporters in Cambodia concerning their shipments of hangers made from Chinese-origin or Vietnamese-origin steel wire and paper accessories to the United States.

Commerce intends to begin its respondent selection process using U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) data. Commerce intends to place the CBP data on each record  10 within five days of publication of this initiation notice, which will be available on Enforcement and Compliance's Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service System (ACCESS). ACCESS is available to registered users at https://access.trade.gov. Comments regarding the CBP data and respondent selection should be submitted within seven days after placement of the CBP data on the record of the inquiry. Contingent upon comments received, Commerce intends to issue quantity and value questionnaires (Q&V) to the largest exporters in the CBP data requesting the Q&V of hangers produced using Chinese or Vietnamese steel wire and paper accessories that were exported to the United States.

Commerce intends to establish a schedule for questionnaire responses after respondent selection. A company's failure to completely respond to Commerce's requests for information may result in the application of facts available, pursuant to section 776(a) of the Act, which may include adverse inferences, pursuant to section 776(b) of the Act.

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.226(l)(1), Commerce will notify CBP of these initiations and direct CBP to continue the suspension of liquidation of entries of products subject to the circumvention inquiries that were already subject to the suspension of liquidation under the China Order and the Vietnam Orders, and to apply the cash deposit rates that would be applicable if the products were determined to be covered by the scope of the China Order and the Vietnam Orders.

Should Commerce issue affirmative preliminary or final circumvention determinations, Commerce will follow the suspension of liquidation rules under 19 CFR 351.226(l)(2)-(4). In the event that Commerce issues affirmative preliminary or final circumvention determinations that the inquiry merchandise is circumventing either the China Order or the Vietnam Orders, Commerce will instruct CBP to continue the suspension of liquidation of previously suspended entries and to collect the applicable cash deposit for estimated AD and/or CVD duties. Commerce will also instruct CBP to begin the suspension of liquidation and application of cash deposits for any unliquidated entries not yet suspended, entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption, on or after the date of publication of the notice of initiation of the circumvention inquiries pursuant to paragraphs (l)(2)(ii) and (l)(3)(ii). In addition, pursuant to paragraphs (l)(2)(iii)(A) and (l)(3)(iii)(A), Commerce may instruct CBP to begin the suspension of liquidation and application of cash deposits for any unliquidated entries not yet suspended, entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption, prior to the date of initiation of the circumvention inquiries, but not for such entries prior to November 4, 2021, the effective date of these provisions in the Final Rule. 11 These rules will not affect CBP's authority to take any additional action with respect to the suspension of liquidation or related measures for these entries, as stated in 19 CFR 351.226(l)(5).

In accordance with 19 CFR 351.226(d) and section 781(b) of the Act, Commerce determines that the request for circumvention inquiries satisfies the requirements of 19 CFR 351.226(c). Accordingly, Commerce is notifying all interested parties of the initiation of these circumvention inquiries to determine whether hangers completed in Cambodia using (1) steel wire and/or (2) steel wire and paper accessories from China or Vietnam, and exported from Cambodia are circumventing the China Order or the Vietnam Orders. In addition, we have included a description of the products that are subject to these inquiries and an explanation of Commerce's decision to initiate the inquiries as provided in the accompanying Circumvention Initiation Checklists. 12

In accordance with 19 CFR 351.226(e)(1), unless the circumvention inquiries are rescinded, in whole or in part, or extended, Commerce intends to issue its preliminary circumvention determinations no later than 150 days from the date of publication of this notice of initiation of these circumvention inquiries in the Federal Register . Furthermore, in accordance with section 781(f) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.226(e)(2), unless the circumvention inquiries are rescinded, in whole or in part, or extended, Commerce intends to issue its final determinations within 300 days from the date of publication of this notice of initiation of the circumvention inquiries in the Federal Register .

This notice is published in accordance with section 781(b) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.226(d)(1)(ii).

On April 9, 2025, the U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) initiated a less-than-fair-value (LTFV) investigation of imports of fiberglass door panels from the People's Republic of China. 1 Currently, the preliminary determination is due no later than August 27, 2025.

Section 733(b)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), requires Commerce to issue the preliminary determination in an LTFV investigation within 140 days after the date on which Commerce initiated the investigation. However, section 733(c)(1) of the Act permits Commerce to postpone the preliminary determination until no later than 190 days after the date on which Commerce initiated the investigation if: (A) the petitioner makes a timely request for a postponement; or (B) Commerce concludes that the parties concerned are cooperating, that the investigation is extraordinarily complicated, and that additional time is necessary to make a preliminary determination. Under 19 CFR 351.205(e), the petitioner must submit a request for postponement 25 days or more before the scheduled date of the preliminary determination and must state the reasons for the request. Commerce will grant the request unless it finds compelling reasons to deny the request.

On July 30, 2025, the petitioner  2 submitted a timely request that Commerce postpone the preliminary determination in the LTFV investigation. 3 The petitioner stated that it requested postponement to “allow {Commerce} to issue supplemental questionnaires and receive responses prior to making its preliminary AD determination”  4 and because “this is the first time {Commerce} has examined this product.”  5

For the reasons stated above and because there are no compelling reasons to deny the request, Commerce, in accordance with section 733(c)(1)(A) of the Act, is postponing the deadline for the preliminary determination by 50 days ( i.e., 190 days after the date on which this investigation was initiated). As a result, Commerce will issue its preliminary determination no later than October 16, 2025. In accordance with section 735(a)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.210(b)(1), the deadline for the final determination in this investigation will continue to be 75 days after the date of the preliminary determination, unless postponed at a later date.

This notice is issued and published pursuant to section 733(c)(2) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.205(f)(1).

On April 21, 2020, Commerce published in the Federal Register the antidumping duty (AD) order on cabinets from the People's Republic of China (China). 1 On April 1, 2024, Commerce published in the Federal Register a notice of opportunity to request an administrative review of the Order. 2 On June 12, 2024, based on timely requests for an administrative review, Commerce published the notice of initiation of this administrative review of the Order with respect to 70 companies. 3 On June 24, 2024, Hong Kong Jian Cheng Trading Co., Ltd., withdrew its request for review. 4 On July 10, 2024, Nanjing Kaylang Co., Ltd., withdrew its request for review. 5 On July 12, 2024, Commerce received 11 timely no-shipment certifications, 17 separate rate certifications (SRC), and one separate rate application (SRA). On September 10, 2024, the American Kitchen Cabinet Alliance (the petitioner) and MasterBrand timely withdrew their requests for review of certain companies. 6 On March 12 and June 30, 2025, Commerce stated its intent to rescind the review for certain companies with no entries of subject merchandise during the POR. 7 Thus, we are rescinding this review with respect to the 49 companies with no reviewable entries or for which a review request was timely withdrawn. These preliminary results cover 21 companies, including the mandatory respondents, Ancientree and KM.

On July 22, 2024, Commerce tolled certain deadlines in this administrative proceeding by seven days. 8 On December 9, 2024, Commerce tolled certain deadlines in this administrative proceeding by an additional 90 days. 9 On March 4, 2025, Commerce postponed the preliminary results of this administrative review. 10 Additionally, on May 12, 2025, Commerce further postponed the preliminary results of this administrative review. 11 Accordingly, the deadline for the preliminary results of this review is August 5, 2025.

For a complete description of the events that followed the initiation of this review, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. 12 The Preliminary Decision Memorandum is a public document and is on file electronically via Enforcement and Compliance's Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service System (ACCESS). ACCESS is available to registered users at https://access.trade.gov. A list of topics discussed in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum is included as appendix I to this notice. In addition, a complete version of the Preliminary Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly at https://access.trade.gov/public/FRNoticesListLayout.aspx.

The products covered by the Order are wooden cabinets from China. For a complete description of the scope of the Order, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. 13

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), Commerce will rescind an administrative review, in whole or in part, if the party that requested a review withdraws its request within 90 days of the date of publication of the notice of initiation. We are rescinding the review with respect to 27 companies for which there is no outstanding request for review. 14 Because the withdrawals of the review requests were timely filed, and no other party requested a review of these companies, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), Commerce is rescinding this review of the Order with respect to 27 companies. 15

Furthermore, there were no suspended entries of subject merchandise for 22 companies for which the administrative review was initiated. On March 12 and June 30, 2025, Commerce notified all interested parties of its intent to rescind the administrative review, in part, with respect to these companies. 16 No interested party submitted comments in response to these notices. In the absence of suspended entries of subject merchandise during the POR, for the companies listed in appendix IV, which this review was initiated, we are hereby rescinding this administrative review, in part, with respect to those companies, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3).

Accordingly, Commerce is rescinding the review with respect to 49 companies that had no shipments of subject merchandise during the POR or for which a review request was timely withdrawn. 17

Commerce is conducting this review in accordance with section 751(a)(1)(B) of the Act. Commerce calculated export price in accordance with section 772 of the Act. Further, because China is a non-market economy (NME) within the meaning of section 771(18) of the Act, Commerce calculated NV in accordance with section 773(c) of the Act. In addition, Commerce has relied on partial adverse facts available under sections 776(a) and (b) of the Act for KM. For a full description of the methodology underlying our conclusions, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.

In the Initiation Notice, we informed parties that all firms for which an NME review was initiated that wished to qualify for separate rate status must complete, as appropriate, either an SRA or an SRC. 18 In all proceedings involving an NME country, Commerce maintains a rebuttable presumption that all companies are subject to government control, and, thus, should be assessed a single weighted-average dumping margin unless the company can affirmatively demonstrate an absence of government control, both in law ( de jure ) and in fact ( de facto ), with respect to its exports, ( i.e., an affirmatively demonstrate that it is eligible for a separate rate). 19 Commerce preliminarily determines 14 companies that filed either an SRA or SRC and the two mandatory respondents are eligible for a separate rate. 20

The statute and Commerce's regulations do not address the establishment of a separate rate to be applied to 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 an investigation, for guidance when calculating the rate for separate-rate respondents which Commerce did not examine individually in an administrative review. Section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act articulates a preference that Commerce is not to calculate an all-others rate using rates for individually examined respondents which are zero, de minimis, or based entirely on facts available. For the preliminary results of this review, Commerce determined the estimated dumping margins for Ancientree and KM to be 7.67 and 112.23 percent, respectively. For the reasons explained in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum, we are assigning a 14.48 percent rate to the non-examined respondents that qualify for a separate rate in this review, consistent with Commerce's practice and section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act. 21

Commerce's policy regarding the conditional review of the China-wide entity applies to this administrative review. 22 Under this policy, the China-wide entity will not be under review unless a party specifically requests, or Commerce self-initiates, a review of the entity. Because no party requested a review of the China-wide entity in this review, the entity is not under review, and the entity's assessment rate ( i.e., 251.64 percent) is not subject to change. 23 For the reasons explained in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum, Commerce considers all other companies for which a review was requested with suspended entries of subject merchandise (none of which filed an SRA or SRC)) to be part of the China-wide entity, including two companies that filed no shipment certifications. 24

Commerce preliminarily determines that the following estimated weighted-average dumping margins exist for the period covering April 1, 2023, through March 31, 2024:

Commerce intends to disclose to parties to the proceeding the calculation performed for these preliminary results of review within five days of any public announcement of these preliminary results, or if there is no public announcement, within five days of the date of publication of this notice in the Federal Register , in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).

Commerce will establish the briefing schedule at a later time and will notify parties of the schedule in accordance with 19 CFR 351.309. 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. 26 Interested parties who submit case briefs or rebuttal briefs in this proceeding must submit: (1) a table of contents listing each issue addressed; and (2) a table of authorities. 27

As provided under 19 CFR 351.309(c)(2) and (d)(2), in prior proceedings we have encouraged interested parties to provide an executive summary of their briefs that should be limited to five pages total, including footnotes. In this review, we instead request that interested parties provide, at the beginning of their briefs, a public executive summary for each issue raised in their briefs. 28 Further, we request that interested parties limit their executive summary of each issue to no more than 450 words, not including citations. We intend to use the executive summaries as the basis of the comment summaries included in the issues and decision memorandum that we will issue for the final results in this administrative review. We request that interested parties include footnotes for relevant citations in the 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). 29

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, within 30 days after the publication of this notice. Requests should contain the party's name, address, telephone number, the number of participants, whether any participant is a foreign national, and a list of the issues to be discussed. If a request for a hearing is made, Commerce intends to hold the hearing at a time and date to be determined. Parties should confirm by telephone the date, time, and location of the hearing two days before the scheduled date.

Upon issuing the final results, Commerce will determine, and CBP shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries covered by this review. 30 If the preliminary results are unchanged for the final results, we will instruct CBP to apply an ad valorem assessment rate of 251.64 percent to all entries of subject merchandise during the POR which were exported by the companies considered to be a part of the China-wide entity listed in appendix II.

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).

For Ancientree and KM, Commerce intends to calculate importer or customer-specific assessment rates, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). 31 Where the respondent reported reliable entered values, Commerce intends to calculate importer or customer-specific ad valorem assessment rates by aggregating the amount of dumping calculated for all U.S. sales to the importer or customer and dividing this amount by the total entered value of the merchandise sold to the importer or customer. 32 Where the respondent did not report entered values, Commerce will calculate importer or customer-specific assessment rates by dividing the amount of dumping for reviewed sales to the importer or customer by the total quantity of those sales. Commerce will calculate an estimated ad valorem importer or customer-specific assessment rate to determine whether the per-unit assessment rate is de minimis; however, Commerce will use the per-unit assessment rate where entered values were not reported. 33 Where an importer or customer-specific ad valorem assessment rate is not zero or de minimis, Commerce will instruct CBP to collect the appropriate duties at the time of liquidation. Where either the respondent's weighted average dumping margin is zero or de minimis, or an importer or customer-specific ad valorem assessment rate is zero or de minimis, Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties. 34

Pursuant to a refinement to Commerce's assessment practice, where sales of subject merchandise exported by an individually examined respondent were not reported in the U.S. sales data submitted by the respondent, but the merchandise was entered into the United States during the POR, Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate any entries of such merchandise at the AD assessment rate for the China-wide entity. 35

For the respondents that were not selected for individual examination in this administrative review, but which qualified for a separate rate, the assessment rate will be based on the weighted-average dumping margins assigned to the respondents selected for individual examination, as appropriate, in the final results of this review. 36

For the companies for which this review is rescinded with these preliminary results, we will instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries at a rate equal to the cash deposit of estimated antidumping duties required at the time of entry, or withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption, during the period April 1, 2023, through March 31, 2024, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(c)(l)(i).

The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon publication of the final results of this review for shipments of the subject merchandise from China 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) for the subject merchandise exported by the company listed above that has a separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be equal to the weighted-average dumping margin established in the final results of this administrative review (except, if the rate is zero or de minimis, then zero cash deposit will be required); (2) for previously investigated or reviewed Chinese and non-Chinese exporters not listed above that received a separate rate in a prior segment of this proceeding, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the existing exporter specific rate; (3) for all Chinese exporters of subject merchandise that have not been found to be entitled to a separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be that for the China- wide entity; and (4) for all non-Chinese exporters of subject merchandise which have not received their own rate, the cash deposit rate will be the rate applicable to the Chinese exporter that supplied that non-Chinese exporter. These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice.

Unless otherwise extended, Commerce intends to issue the final results of this administrative review, which will include the results of its analysis of issues raised in case and rebuttal briefs, within 120 days of these preliminary results of review in the Federal Register , pursuant to 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.

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 and/or countervailing duties prior to liquidation of the relevant entries during these PORs. Failure to comply with this requirement could result in Commerce's presumption that reimbursement of antidumping and/or countervailing duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of double antidumping duties, and/or an increase in the amount of antidumping duties by the amount of countervailing duties.

Commerce is issuing and publishing the preliminary results of this review in accordance with sections 751(a)(1)(B), 751(a)(3) and 777(i) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4) and 351.221(b)(4).

On June 18, 2025, Commerce published in the Federal Register its affirmative final determinations in the less-than-fair-value (LTFV) investigations of brake drums from China and Türkiye in accordance with sections 735(d) and 777(i) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). 1 On August 4, 2025, the ITC notified Commerce of its affirmative final determinations, pursuant to section 735(d) of the Act, that an industry in the United States is materially injured within the meaning of section 735(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Act by reason of LTFV imports of brake drums from China and Türkiye. 2

The products covered by these orders are brake drums from China and Türkiye. For a complete description of the scope of these orders, see the appendix to this notice.

Based on the affirmative final determinations by the ITC that an industry in the United States is materially injured by reason of imports of brake drums from China and Türkiye sold at LTFV, in accordance with section 735(c)(2) and 736 of the Act, Commerce is issuing these AD orders. Because the ITC determined that imports of brake drums from China and Türkiye are materially injuring a U.S. industry, unliquidated entries of such merchandise entered or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, are subject to the assessment of antidumping duties.

Therefore, in accordance with section 736(a)(1) of the Act, Commerce will direct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to assess, upon further instruction by Commerce, antidumping duties equal to the amount by which the normal value of the merchandise exceeds the export price (or constructed export price) of the merchandise, for all relevant entries of brake drums from China and Türkiye. With the exception of entries occurring after the expiration of the provisional measures period and before publication of the ITC's final affirmative injury determinations, as further described below, antidumping duties will be assessed on unliquidated entries of brake drums entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption, on or after January 29, 2025, the date of publication of the Preliminary Determinations. 3

Except as noted in the “Provisional Measures” section of this notice, in accordance with section 736 of the Act, Commerce intends to instruct CBP to continue to suspend liquidation on all relevant entries of brake drums from China and Türkiye, effective on the date of publication of the ITC's final affirmative injury determination in the Federal Register . These instructions suspending liquidation will remain in effect until further notice.

Commerce also intends to instruct CBP to require cash deposits equal to the estimated weighted-average dumping margins, with offsets for export subsidies where appropriate, as indicated in the tables below. Accordingly, effective on the date of publication in the Federal Register of the ITC final injury determination in the Federal Register , CBP will suspend the liquidation of entries of subject merchandise, and require, at the same time that importers would normally deposit estimated duties on the merchandise, a cash deposit equal to the rates listed below. The relevant China-wide entity and all-others rates apply to all producers or exporters not specifically listed, as appropriate.

The estimated weighted-average dumping margins are as follows:

On May 25, 2017, Commerce published in the Federal Register the antidumping duty order on CTL plate from Germany. 1 On July 5, 2024, based on timely requests for review, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i), we initiated an administrative review of the Order covering one producer/exporter of the subject merchandise, AG der Dillinger Hüttenwerke (Dillinger). 2 On July 22, 2024, Commerce tolled certain deadlines in this administrative proceeding by seven days. 3 Further, on December 9, 2024, Commerce tolled certain deadlines in this administrative proceeding by an additional 90 days. 4 On April 28, 2025, we extended the time limit for these preliminary results to July 3, 2025. 5 On June 26, 2025, we fully extended the time limit for these preliminary results to August 7, 2025. 6 For a complete description of the events that followed the initiation of this review, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. 7

A list of topics included in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum is included as an appendix to this notice. The Preliminary Decision Memorandum is a public document and is on file electronically via Enforcement and Compliance's Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service System (ACCESS). ACCESS is available to registered users at https://access.trade.gov . In addition, a complete version of the Preliminary Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly at https://access.trade.gov/public/FRNoticesListLayout.aspx .

The product covered by the Order is CTL plate from Germany. For a complete description of the scope of the Order, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.

Commerce is conducting this investigation in accordance with section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). We calculated export price in accordance with section 772 of the Act. We calculated NV in accordance with section 773 of the Act. For a full description of the methodology underlying these preliminary results, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.

As a result of this review, we preliminarily determine the following estimated weighted-average dumping margin exists for the period May 1, 2023, through April 30, 2024:

On October 10, 2024, SSAB Enterprises, LLC (SSAB), a domestic interested party, requested that Commerce conduct verification of the factual information Dillinger submitted in this administrative review. 8 Accordingly, as provided in section 782(i)(3) of the Act, we verified the information we relied upon in these preliminary results. 9

Commerce intends to disclose to interested parties the calculations performed for these 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 this notice in the Federal Register , in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).

Case briefs or other written comments may be submitted to the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance. 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. 10 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. 11 Interested parties who submit case briefs or rebuttal briefs in this proceeding must submit: (1) a table of contents listing each issue; and (2) a table of authorities. 12 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 on the established deadline.

As provided under 19 CFR 351.309(c)(2) and (d)(2), in prior proceedings we have encouraged interested parties to provide an executive summary of their briefs that should be limited to five pages total, including footnotes. In this review, we instead request that interested parties provide at the beginning of their briefs a public, executive summary for each issue raised in their briefs. 13 Further, we request that interested parties limit their executive summary of each issue to no more than 450 words, not including citations. We intend to use the 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 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). 14

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, U.S. Department of Commerce within 30 days after the date of publication of this notice. Requests should contain: (1) the party's name, address, and telephone number; (2) the number of participants; and (3) a list of the issues to be discussed. Issues raised in the hearing will be limited to those raised in the respective case briefs. Oral presentations at the hearing will be limited to issues raised in the briefs. If a request for a hearing is made, parties will be notified of the time and date for the hearing. 15

Upon completion of this administrative review, Commerce shall determine, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries covered by this review. 16 If Dillinger'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, we intend to calculate importer-specific ad valorem duty assessment rates based on the ratio of the total amount of dumping calculated for the examined sales to the total entered value of those same sales, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). Where either Dillinger's weighted-average dumping margin is zero or de minimis within the meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1), or an importer-specific rate is zero or de minimis within the meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2), we intend to instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties. 17

Commerce's “automatic assessment” practice will apply to entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by Dillinger for which it did not know that the merchandise it 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 ( i.e., 20.99 percent)  18 if there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction. 19

The final results of this review shall be the basis for the assessment of antidumping duties on entries of merchandise covered by the final results of this review and for future deposits of estimated duties, where applicable. 20 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).

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 Dillinger 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 in 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, a prior review, or the less-than-fair value 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 20.99 percent, the all-others rate established in the Second Amended Final Determination . 21 These deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice.

Unless otherwise extended, Commerce intends to issue the final results of this administrative review, including the results of its analysis of the issues raised in any written briefs, no later than 120 days after the date of publication of this notice in the Federal Register , pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(1).

This notice serves as a preliminary reminder to importers of their responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f) 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.

We are issuing and publishing these preliminary results in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, 19 CFR 351.213(h), and 351.221(b)(4).

On April 7, 2025, the U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) initiated a less-than-fair-value (LTFV) investigation of imports of polypropylene corrugated boxes from the Socialist Republic of Vietnam (Vietnam). 1 Currently, the preliminary determination is due no later than August 25, 2025.

Section 733(b)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), requires Commerce to issue the preliminary determination in an LTFV investigation within 140 days after the date on which Commerce initiated the investigation. However, section 733(c)(1)(A)(b)(1) of the Act permits Commerce to postpone the preliminary determination until no later than 190 days after the date on which Commerce initiated the investigation if: (A) the petitioner  2 makes a timely request for a postponement; or (B) Commerce concludes that the parties concerned are cooperating, that the investigation is extraordinarily complicated, and that additional time is necessary to make a preliminary determination. Under 19 CFR 351.205(e), the petitioner must submit a request for postponement 25 days or more before the scheduled date of the preliminary determination and must state the reasons for the request. Commerce will grant the request unless it finds compelling reasons to deny the request.

On July 30, 2025, the petitioners submitted a timely request that Commerce postpone the preliminary determination in the LTFV investigation. 3 The petitioners stated that they request postponement “because the mandatory respondent in this investigation only recently submitted its initial responses to {Commerce's} antidumping questionnaire, and {the p}etitioners have identified numerous instances in the reporting that require clarification, correction, and supplemental information. In addition, submission of surrogate value information in this investigation has not yet been possible because of extensions of the deadline for submitting factors of production data and improper bracketing thereof in the respondent's initial Section D questionnaire response.”  4

For the reasons stated above and because there are no compelling reasons to deny the request, Commerce, in accordance with section 733(c)(1)(A) of the Act, is postponing the deadline for the preliminary determination by 50 days ( i.e., 190 days after the date on which this investigation was initiated). As a result, Commerce will issue its preliminary determination no later than October 14, 2025. In accordance with section 735(a)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.210(b)(1), the deadline for the final determination of this investigation will continue to be 75 days after the date of the preliminary determination, unless postponed at a later date.

This notice is issued and published pursuant to section 733(c)(2) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.205(f)(1).

On July 17, 2025, the U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) received antidumping duty (AD) petitions concerning imports of crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells, whether or not assembled into modules (solar cells), from India, Indonesia, and Laos filed in proper form on behalf of the Alliance for American Solar Manufacturing and Trade (the petitioner). 1 The AD Petitions were accompanied by countervailing duty (CVD) petitions concerning imports of solar cells from India, Indonesia, and Laos. 2

Between July 21 and 31, 2025, Commerce requested supplemental information pertaining to certain aspects of the Petitions in supplemental questionnaires. 3 Between July 23 and August 4, 2025, the petitioner filed timely responses to these requests for additional information. 4

In accordance with section 732(b) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), the petitioner alleges that imports of solar cells from India, Indonesia, and Laos are being, or are likely to be, sold in the United States at less than fair value (LTFV) within the meaning of section 731 of the Act, and that imports of such products are materially injuring, or threatening material injury to, the solar cells industry in the United States. Consistent with section 732(b)(1) of the Act, the Petitions were accompanied by information reasonably available to the petitioner supporting its allegations.

Commerce finds that the petitioner filed the Petitions on behalf of the domestic industry, because the petitioner is an interested party, as defined in section 771(9)(F) of the Act. 5 Commerce also finds that the petitioner demonstrated sufficient industry support for the initiation of the requested LTFV investigations. 6

Because the Petitions were filed on July 17, 2025, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.204(b)(1), the period of investigation (POI) for the India, Indonesia, and Laos LTFV investigations is July 1, 2024, through June 30, 2025. The petitioner argued that Commerce should determine in this investigation that Laos is a non-market economy (NME) within the meaning of section 771(18)(A) of the Act and should calculate normal value (NV) for Laos in accordance with its NME methodology. 7 Under the NME methodology for the Laos LTFV investigation, the appropriate POI is January 1, 2025, through June 30, 2025, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.204(b)(1).

The products covered by these investigations are solar cells from India, Indonesia, and Laos. For a full description of the scope of these investigations, see the appendix to this notice.

On July 21, 2025, Commerce requested information and clarification from the petitioner regarding the proposed scope to ensure that the scope language in the Petitions is an accurate reflection of the products for which the domestic industry is seeking relief. 8 On July 23, 2025, the petitioner provided clarifications and revised the scope. 9 The description of merchandise covered by these investigations, as described in the appendix to this notice, reflects these clarifications.

As discussed in the Preamble to Commerce's regulations, we are setting aside a period for interested parties to raise issues regarding product coverage ( i.e., scope). 10 Commerce will consider all scope comments received from interested parties and, if necessary, will consult with interested parties prior to the issuance of the preliminary determinations. If scope comments include factual information, 11 all such factual information should be limited to public information. Commerce requests that interested parties provide at the beginning of their scope comments a public executive summary for each comment or issue raised in their submission. Commerce further requests that interested parties limit their public executive summary of each comment or issue to no more than 450 words, not including citations. Commerce intends to use the public executive summaries as the basis of the comment summaries included in the analysis of scope comments. To facilitate preparation of its questionnaires, Commerce requests that scope comments be submitted by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time (ET) on August 26, 2025, which is 20 calendar days from the signature date of this notice. Any rebuttal comments, which may include factual information, and should also be limited to public information, must be filed by 5:00 p.m. ET on September 5, 2025, which is 10 calendar days from the initial comment deadline.

Commerce requests that any factual information that parties consider relevant to the scope of these investigations be submitted during that period. However, if a party subsequently finds that additional factual information pertaining to the scope of the investigations may be relevant, the party must contact Commerce and request permission to submit the additional information. All scope comments must be filed simultaneously on the records of the concurrent LTFV and CVD investigations.

All submissions to Commerce must be filed electronically via Enforcement and Compliance's Antidumping Duty and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service System (ACCESS), unless an exception applies. 12 An electronically filed document must be received successfully in its entirety by the time and date it is due.

Commerce is providing interested parties an opportunity to comment on the appropriate physical characteristics of solar cells to be reported in response to Commerce's AD questionnaires. This information will be used to identify the key physical characteristics of the subject merchandise in order to report the relevant factors of production (FOPs) or cost of production (COP) accurately, as well as to develop appropriate product comparison criteria.

Interested parties may provide any information or comments that they feel are relevant to the development of an accurate list of physical characteristics. Specifically, they may provide comments as to which characteristics are appropriate to use as: (1) general product characteristics; and (2) product comparison criteria. We note that it is not always appropriate to use all product characteristics as product comparison criteria. We base product comparison criteria on meaningful commercial differences among products. In other words, although there may be some physical product characteristics utilized by manufacturers to describe solar cells, it may be that only a select few product characteristics take into account commercially meaningful physical characteristics. In addition, interested parties may comment on the order in which the physical characteristics should be used in matching products. Generally, Commerce attempts to list the most important physical characteristics first and the least important characteristics last.

In order to consider the suggestions of interested parties in developing and issuing the AD questionnaires, all product characteristics comments must be filed by 5:00 p.m. ET on August 26, 2025, which is 20 calendar days from the signature date of this notice. Any rebuttal comments must be filed by 5:00 p.m. ET on September 5, 2025, which is 10 calendar days from the initial comment deadline. All comments and submissions to Commerce must be filed electronically using ACCESS, as explained above, on the record of the each of the LTFV investigations.

Section 732(b)(1) of the Act requires that a petition be filed on behalf of the domestic industry. Section 732(c)(4)(A) of the Act provides that a petition meets this requirement if the domestic producers or workers who support the petition account for: (i) at least 25 percent of the total production of the domestic like product; and (ii) more than 50 percent of the production of the domestic like product produced by that portion of the industry expressing support for, or opposition to, the petition. Moreover, section 732(c)(4)(D) of the Act provides that, if the petition does not establish support of domestic producers or workers accounting for more than 50 percent of the total production of the domestic like product, Commerce shall: (i) poll the industry or rely on other information in order to determine if there is support for the petition, as required by subparagraph (A); or (ii) determine industry support using a statistically valid sampling method to poll the “industry.”

Section 771(4)(A) of the Act defines the “industry” as the producers as a whole of a domestic like product. Thus, to determine whether a petition has the requisite industry support, the statute directs Commerce to look to producers and workers who produce the domestic like product. The U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC), which is responsible for determining whether “the domestic industry” has been injured, must also determine what constitutes a domestic like product in order to define the industry. While both Commerce and the ITC must apply the same statutory definition regarding the domestic like product, 13 they do so for different purposes and pursuant to a separate and distinct authority. In addition, Commerce's determination is subject to limitations of time and information. Although this may result in different definitions of the like product, such differences do not render the decision of either agency contrary to law. 14

Section 771(10) of the Act defines the domestic like product as “a product which is like, or in the absence of like, most similar in characteristics and uses with, the article subject to an investigation under this title.” Thus, the reference point from which the domestic like product analysis begins is “the article subject to an investigation” ( i.e., the class or kind of merchandise to be investigated, which normally will be the scope as defined in the petition).

With regard to the domestic like product, the petitioner does not offer a definition of the domestic like product distinct from the scope of the investigations. 15 Based on our analysis of the information submitted on the record, we have determined that solar cells, as defined in the scope, constitutes a single domestic like product, and we have analyzed industry support in terms of that domestic like product. 16

On July 14, 2017, Commerce published in the Federal Register the antidumping duty order on rebar from Türkiye. 1 On August 14, 2024, based on timely requests for review, Commerce initiated an administrative review of the Order covering three companies, in accordance with section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). 2

On December 9, 2024, Commerce tolled certain deadlines in this administrative proceeding by 90 days. 3 On June 23, 2025, we extended the deadline for the preliminary results of this administrative review to July 30, 2025, 4 and on July 30, 2025, we extended the deadline for the preliminary results of this administrative review to August 6, 2025. 5 For a complete description of the events that followed the initiation of this review, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. 6

The merchandise covered by the Order is rebar from Türkiye. For a full description of the scope of the Order, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.

Commerce is conducting this review in accordance with sections 751(a) of the Act. We calculated export price and constructed export price in accordance with section 772 of the Act. We calculated NV in accordance with section 773 of the Act. For a full description of the methodology underlying these preliminary results, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. A list of topics included in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum is attached as an appendix to this notice. The Preliminary Decision Memorandum is a public document and is on file electronically via Enforcement and Compliance's Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service System (ACCESS). ACCESS is available to registered users at https://access.trade.gov. In addition, a complete version of the Preliminary Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly at https://access.trade.gov/public/FRNoticesListLayout.aspx.

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), Commerce will rescind an administrative review when there are no reviewable entries of subject merchandise during the POR for which liquidation is suspended. 7 Normally, upon completion of an administrative review, the suspended entries are liquidated at the antidumping duty 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 antidumping duty assessment rate calculated for the POR. 9

On September 27, 2024, we notified parties of our intent to rescind this administrative review, in part, with respect to Icdas Celik Enerji Tersane ve Ulasim Sanayi A.S. (Icdas) because it had no suspended entries of subject merchandise during the POR in the CBP data, and we invited interested parties to comment. 10 We received no comments from interested parties. Therefore, in the absence of any suspended entries of subject merchandise from Icdas during the POR, we are rescinding the administrative review for Icdas, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3).

On September 5, 2024, we received comments from Kaptan Demir Celik Endustrisi ve Ticaret A.S. on the CBP data, claiming that Kaptan  11 had no shipments to the United States during the POR, 12 as well as comments from the Rebar Trade Action Coalition, the petitioner in this proceeding. 13 We obtained CBP entry documentation regarding the entries in question, 14 and on January 3 and January 8, 2025, we received timely comments and rebuttal comments, respectively, on the Kaptan Entry Documents from Kaptan and the petitioner. 15 After analyzing these comments, on January 27, 2025, we notified parties of our intent to rescind this administrative review, in part, with respect to Kaptan because we found that Kaptan had no reviewable entries of subject merchandise into the United States during the POR. 16

On February 4 and February 10, 2025, we received timely comments and rebuttal comments, respectively, on the Kaptan Intent to Rescind Memorandum from the petitioner and Kaptan. 17 We analyzed these comments, as well as the information on the record regarding the entries at issue, 18 and continue to find that the information on the record of this review demonstrates that Kaptan had no reviewable entries of subject merchandise into the United States during the POR. Therefore, we are rescinding the administrative review for Kaptan, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3).

We preliminarily determine the following estimated weighted-average dumping margin exists for the period July 1, 2023, through June 30, 2024:

Commerce intends to disclose its calculations and analysis performed to interested parties for these 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 this notice in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).

Case briefs or other written comments may be submitted to the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance. 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. Rebuttal briefs, limited to issues raised in case briefs, may be filed no later than five days after the date for filing case briefs. 19 Interested parties who submit case briefs or rebuttal briefs in this proceeding must submit: (1) a table of contents listing each issue; and (2) a table of authorities. 20 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 on the established deadline.

As provided under 19 CFR 351.309(c)(2) and (d)(2), in prior proceedings, we have encouraged interested parties to provide an executive summary of their briefs that should be limited to five pages total, including footnotes. In this review, we instead request that interested parties provide, at the beginning of their briefs, a public executive summary for each issue raised in their briefs. 21 Further, we request that interested parties limit their executive summary of each issue to no more than 450 words, not including citations. We intend to use the 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 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). 22

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, U.S. Department of Commerce within 30 days after the date of publication of this notice. Requests should contain: (1) the party's name, address, and telephone number; (2) the number of participants; and (3) a list of the issues to be discussed. Issues raised in the hearing will be limited to those raised in the respective case briefs. Oral presentations at the hearing will be limited to issues raised in the briefs. If a request for a hearing is made, parties will be notified of the time and date for the hearing. 23

Upon completion of this administrative review, Commerce shall determine, and CBP shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries covered by this review. 24 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. 25 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).

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), because Colakoglu reported the entered value for its U.S. sales, we calculated importer-specific ad valorem antidumping duty assessment rates based on the ratio of the total amount of antidumping duties calculated for the examined sales to the total entered value of those same sales. Where either Colakoglu's weighted-average dumping margin is zero or de minimis within the meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1), or an importer-specific rate is zero or de minimis within the meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2), we will instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties. 26

Commerce's “automatic assessment” practice will apply to entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by Colakoglu for which it did not know that the merchandise it sold to an intermediary ( e.g., a reseller, trading company, or exporter) was destined for the United States. In such instances, we will instruct CBP to liquidate those entries at the all-others rate ( i.e., 3.90 percent)  27 if there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction. 28

For the companies for which we are rescinding this review ( i.e., Icdas and Kaptan), we will instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries at a rate equal to the cash deposit of estimated antidumping duties required at the time of entry, or withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption, during the period July 1, 2023, through June 30, 2024, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(c)(l)(i). Commerce intends to issue these rescission instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days after the date of publication of this notice in the Federal Register .

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 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 equal to the weighted-average dumping margin established in the final results of this review, except if the rate is de minimis ( i.e., less than 0.50 percent), in which case the cash deposit rate will be zero; (2) for previously reviewed or investigated companies not covered by this review, 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 company was reviewed; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this review, a prior review, or the less-than-fair-value (LTFV) investigation, but the producer is, the cash deposit rate will be the rate established for the most recently-completed segment of this proceeding for the producer of the merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit rate for all other producers or exporters will continue to be 3.90 percent, the all-others rate established in the amended final determination of the LTFV investigation. 29 These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice.

Unless otherwise extended, Commerce intends to issue the final results of this administrative review, including the results of its analysis of issues raised in written briefs, no later than 120 days after the date of publication of this notice in the Federal Register , pursuant to 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(1).

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 and/or countervailing 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 and/or countervailing duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of double antidumping duties, and/or an increase in the amount of antidumping duties by the amount of the countervailing duties.

We are issuing and publishing these results in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, 19 CFR 351.213, and 351.221(b)(4).

Article 10.12 of Chapter 10 of USMCA provides a dispute settlement mechanism involving trade remedy determinations issued by the Government of the United States, the Government of Canada, and the Government of Mexico. Following a Request for Panel Review, a Binational Panel is composed to review the trade remedy determination being challenged and issue a binding Panel Decision. There are established USMCA Rules of Procedure for Article 10.12 (Binational Panel Reviews), which were adopted by the three governments for panels requested pursuant to Article 10.12(2) of USMCA which requires Requests for Panel Review to be published in accordance with Rule 40. For the complete Rules, please see https://can-mex-usa-sec.org/secretariat/agreement-accord-acuerdo/usmca-aceum-tmec/rules-regles-reglas/article-article-articulo_10_12.aspx?lang=eng .

Authority: Pub. L. 116-113.

On June 16, 2025, Commerce published in the Federal Register the Final Results. 1 Commerce omitted notice of rescission of this review for 11 companies in the Final Results that Commerce previously identified with an intent to rescind in the Preliminary Results. 2 Commerce is amending the Final Results to correct for this ministerial error.

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.”  3 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. . . {.}”

Commerce reviewed the record and finds that the omission of rescission of review language from the Final Results constitutes a ministerial error within the meaning of section 751(h) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.224(f). Specifically, with regard to rescission, we find that not including the rescission language in the Final Results with respect to the 11 companies after notifying parties of our intent to rescind in the Preliminary Results and receiving no comments from any party, was an inadvertent error which we consider ministerial.

As a result of correcting the ministerial error, Commerce is rescinding the review with respect to the 11 companies listed below in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3).

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), it is Commerce's practice to rescind an administrative review of an antidumping duty order where it determines that there were no suspended entries of subject merchandise during the POR. 4 Normally, upon completion of an administrative review, the suspended entries are liquidated at the antidumping duty assessment rate for the review period. 5 Therefore, for an administrative review to be conducted, there must be a suspended entry that Commerce can instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to liquidate at the calculated antidumping duty assessment rate for the review period. 6

Title III of the Export Trading Company Act of 1982 (15 U.S.C. 4011-21) (the Act) authorizes the Secretary of Commerce to issue Export Trade Certificates of Review. An Export Trade Certificate of Review protects the holder and the members identified in the Certificate from State and Federal government antitrust actions and from private treble damage antitrust actions for the export conduct specified in the Certificate and carried out in compliance with its terms and conditions. The regulations implementing Title III are found at 15 CFR part 325. OTEA is issuing this notice pursuant to 15 CFR 325.6(b), which requires the Secretary of Commerce to publish a summary of the certification in the Federal Register . Under Section 305(a) of the Act and 15 CFR 325.11(a), any person aggrieved by the Secretary's determination may, within 30 days of the date of this notice, bring an action in any appropriate district court of the United States to set aside the determination on the ground that the determination is erroneous.

The effective date of the amended certificate is April 23, 2025, the date on which California Almond Export Association, LLC's application to amend was deemed submitted.

On June 18, 2025, Commerce published in the Federal Register its affirmative final determinations in the CVD investigations of brake drums from China and Türkiye. 1 On August 4, 2025, the ITC notified Commerce of its final determinations, pursuant to section 705(d) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), that an industry in the United States is materially injured within the meaning of section 705(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Act by reason of imports of brake drums from China and Türkiye. 2

The products covered by these orders are brake drums from China and Türkiye. For a complete description of the scope of these orders, see the appendix to this notice.

Based on the affirmative final determinations by the ITC that an industry in the United States is materially injured by reason of subsidized imports of brake drums from China and Türkiye, 3 in accordance with sections 705(c)(2) and 706(a) of the Act, Commerce is issuing these CVD orders. Because the ITC determined that imports of brake drums from China and Türkiye are materially injuring a U.S. industry, unliquidated entries of such merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption, are subject to the assessment of countervailing duties.

Therefore, in accordance with section 706(a) of the Act, Commerce will direct CBP to assess, upon further instructions by Commerce, countervailing duties on unliquidated entries of brake drums from China and Türkiye, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after December 3, 2024, the date of publication of the Preliminary Determinations, 4 but will not include entries occurring after the expiration of the provisional measures period and before the publication of the ITC's final injury determination under section 705(b) of the Act, as further described below.

In accordance with section 706 of the Act, Commerce intends to instruct CBP to reinstitute the suspension of liquidation of brake drums from China and Türkiye, effective on the date of publication of the ITC's final affirmative injury determination in the Federal Register , and to assess, upon further instruction by Commerce, pursuant to section 706(a)(1) of the Act, countervailing duties on each entry of subject merchandise in an amount based on the net countervailable subsidy rates below. These instructions suspending liquidation will remain in effect until further notice.

Commerce also intends, pursuant to section 706(a)(1) of the Act, to instruct CBP to require cash deposits equal to the amounts as indicated below. Accordingly, effective on the date of publication of the ITC's final affirmative injury determination in the Federal Register , CBP will require, at the same time as importers would normally deposit estimated customs duties on the subject merchandise, a cash deposit for each entry of subject merchandise equal to the subsidy rates listed below. 5 The all-others rates apply to all producers or exporters not specifically listed below, as appropriate.

The estimated countervailable subsidy rates are as follows:

Section 703(d) of the Act states that the suspension of liquidation pursuant to an affirmative preliminary determination may not remain in effect for more than four months. In the underlying investigations, Commerce published the Preliminary Determinations on December 3, 2024. 6 As such, the four-month period beginning on the date of the publication of the Preliminary Determinations ended on April 1, 2025. Therefore, entries of brake drums from China and Türkiye made on or after April 2, 2025, and prior to the date of publication of the ITC's final determinations in the Federal Register , are not subject to the assessment of countervailing duties due to Commerce's discontinuation of the suspension of liquidation.

In accordance with section 703(d) of the Act, Commerce instructed CBP to terminate the suspension of liquidation and to liquidate, without regard to countervailing duties, unliquidated entries of brake drums from China and Türkiye entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption, on or after April 2, 2025, the date on which the provisional CVD measures expired, through the day preceding the date of publication of the ITC final injury determinations in the Federal Register . Suspension of liquidation and the collection of cash deposits will resume on the date of publication of the ITC final injury determinations in the Federal Register .

On September 20, 2021, Commerce published the final rule titled “ Regulations to Improve Administration and Enforcement of Countervailing and Countervailing Duty Laws ” in the Federal Register . 7 On September 27, 2021, Commerce also published the notice titled “ Scope Ruling Application; Annual Inquiry Service List; and Informational Sessions ” in the Federal Register . 8 The Final Rule and Procedural Guidance provide that Commerce will maintain an annual inquiry service list for each order or suspended investigation, and any interested party submitting a scope ruling application or request for circumvention inquiry shall serve a copy of the application or request on the persons on the annual inquiry service list for that order, as well as any companion order covering the same merchandise from the same country of origin. 9

In accordance with the Procedural Guidance, for orders published in the Federal Register after November 4, 2021, Commerce will create an annual inquiry service list segment in Commerce's online e-filing and document management system, Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Electronic Service System (ACCESS), available at https://access.trade.gov, within five business days of publication of the notice of an order. Each annual inquiry service list will be saved in ACCESS, under each case number, and under a specific segment type called “AISL-Annual Inquiry Service List.”  10

Interested parties who wish to be added to the annual inquiry service list for an order must submit an entry of appearance to the annual inquiry service list segment for the order in ACCESS within 30 days after the date of publication of the order. For ease of administration, Commerce requests that law firms with more than one attorney representing interested parties in an order designate a lead attorney to be included on the annual inquiry service list. Commerce will finalize the annual inquiry service list within five business days thereafter. As mentioned in the Procedural Guidance, the new annual inquiry service list will be in place until the following year, when the Opportunity Notice for the anniversary month of the order is published.

Commerce may update an annual inquiry service list at any time as needed based on interested parties' amendments to their entries of appearance to remove or otherwise modify their list of members and representatives, or to update contact information. Any changes or announcements pertaining to these procedures will be posted to the ACCESS website at https://access.trade.gov .

In the Final Rule, Commerce stated that, “after an initial request and placement on the annual inquiry service list, both petitioners and foreign governments will automatically be placed on the annual inquiry service list in the years that follow.”  11 Accordingly, as stated above, the petitioners and foreign governments should submit their initial entry of appearance after publication of this notice in order to appear in the first annual inquiry service list for those orders for which they qualify as an interested party. Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.225(n)(3), the petitioners and foreign governments will not need to resubmit their entries of appearance each year to continue to be included on the annual inquiry service list. However, the petitioners and foreign governments are responsible for making amendments to their entries of appearance during the annual update to the annual inquiry service list in accordance with the procedures described above.

This notice constitutes the CVD orders with respect to brake drums from China and Türkiye pursuant to section 706(a) of the Act. Interested parties can find a list of CVD orders currently in effect at https://www.trade.gov/data-visualization/adcvd-proceedings .

These CVD orders are published in accordance with section 706(a) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.211(b).

On April 9, 2025, Commerce published the preliminary results of this administrative review in the Federal Register and invited interested parties to comment. 1 For a complete description of the events that occurred since the Preliminary Results, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum. 2 A list of topics discussed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum is included as Appendix I to this notice. The Issues and Decision Memorandum is a public document and is on file electronically via Enforcement and Compliance's Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service System (ACCESS). ACCESS is available to registered users at https://access.trade.gov. In addition, a complete version of the Issues and Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly at https://access.trade.gov/public/FRNoticesListLayout.aspx.

The product covered by this Order is certain softwood lumber products from Canada. For a complete description of the scope of the Order, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum.

Fontaine Inc. and its cross-owned companies  4 (collectively, Fontaine) were listed as a non-selected company in the Preliminary Results. 5 On January 21, 2025, the U.S. Court of International Trade (CIT) sustained Commerce's remand redetermination calculating a de minimis subsidy rate for Fontaine in the expedited review and determination to exclude subject merchandise produced and exported by Fontaine from the Order. 6 On May 5, 2025, Commerce published a notice of amended final results of expedited review and exclusion from the Order excluding subject merchandise produced and exported by Fontaine from the Order, effective April 28, 2017. 7 Because Fontaine is now excluded from the Order, we are rescinding the company's administrative review with respect to subject merchandise that was produced and exported by Fontaine. However, any entries of subject merchandise produced by any other entity and exported by Fontaine or produced by Fontaine and exported any other entity remain covered by this administrative review. For further information, see “Rescission of Administrative Review, in Part” in the Issues and Decision Memorandum.

Commerce conducted 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 to be countervailable, we find that there is a subsidy, i.e., a government-provided financial contribution that gives rise to a benefit to the recipient, and that the subsidy is specific. 8 For a description of the methodology underlying Commerce's conclusions, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum.

The subsidy programs under review, and the issues raised in case and rebuttal briefs submitted by the interested parties, are discussed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum. Based on our analysis of the comments received from the interested parties, we made changes to the subsidy rates calculated for the respondents. For a discussion of these changes, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum.

Because the rates calculated for the companies selected for individual review are above de minimis and not based entirely on facts available, we applied a subsidy rate based on a weighted average of the subsidy rates calculated for the reviewed companies using sales data submitted by those companies to calculate a rate for the companies not selected for review. This is consistent with the methodology that we would use in an investigation to establish the all-others rate, pursuant to section 705(c)(5)(A) of the Act.

For further information on the calculation of the non-selected rate, see the section titled “Final Ad Valorem Rate for Non-Selected Companies under Review” in the Issues and Decision Memorandum. For a list of the non-selected companies, see Appendix II to this notice.

In accordance with section 751(a)(1)(A) and of the Act and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5), we determine that the following total net countervailable subsidy rates exist for the period January 1, 2023, through December 31, 2023:

Commerce intends to disclose the calculations and analysis performed for these final results of review within five days after the date of publication of this notice in the Federal Register , in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).

Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(2), Commerce has determined, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, countervailing duties on all appropriate entries of subject merchandise covered by this review.

Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier than 41 days after the date of publication of the final results of this review in the Federal Register , in accordance with 19 CFR 356.8(a).

In accordance with section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act, Commerce intends to instruct CBP to collect cash deposits of estimated countervailing duties in the amounts shown for the companies subject to this review for shipments of subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of publication of the final results of this administrative review. For all non-reviewed companies, we will instruct CBP to continue to collect cash deposits of estimated countervailing duties at the most recent company-specific or all- others rate applicable to the company, as appropriate. These cash deposits, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice.

This notice also serves as a final 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). 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 sanctionable violation.

These final results are issued and published in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5).

In accordance with sections 705(d), 735(d), and 777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 351.210(b), on June 23, 2025, Commerce published its affirmative final determination of sales at LTFV of LSPTVs from China and its affirmative final determination that countervailable subsidies are being provided to producers and exporters of LSPTVs from China. 1

On June 30, 2025, the American Personal Transportation Vehicle Manufacturers Coalition (petitioner) and Guangdong Lvtong New Energy Electric Vehicle Technology Co., Ltd. (Guangdong Lvtong) alleged that Commerce made ministerial errors in the LTFV Final Determination   2 and the CVD Final Determination. 3 No party submitted rebuttal comments to the ministerial error allegations. Sections 705(e) and 735(e) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.224(f) define ministerial errors as errors in addition, subtraction, or other arithmetic function, clerical errors resulting from inaccurate copying, duplication, or the like, and any other type of unintentional error which Commerce considers ministerial. We reviewed the allegations and determined that we made ministerial errors in the LTFV Final Determination and the CVD Final Determination. See “Amendment to the Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value” and “Amendment to the Final Countervailing Duty Determination” sections below for further discussions.

On August 4, 2025, the ITC notified Commerce of its final affirmative determinations that an industry in the United States is materially injured within the meanings of sections 705(b)(1)(A)(i) and 735(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Act by reason of subsidized imports of LSPTVs from China and by reason of imports of LSPTVs that are sold in the United States at less than fair value. 4

The product covered by these orders is LSPTVs from China. For a complete description of the scope of these orders, see Appendix I to this notice.

On June 30, 2025, Commerce received timely ministerial error allegations from the petitioner alleging that Commerce made three ministerial errors in the LTFV Final Determination with respect to the estimated weighted-average dumping margin for the mandatory respondents Guangdong Lvtong New Energy Electric Vehicle Technology Co., Ltd. (Guangdong Lvtong) and Xiamen Dalle New Energy Automobile Co., Ltd. (Xiamen Dalle) (collectively, the respondents). 5 Commerce reviewed the record, and we determine that two of the three allegations concerning Xiamen Dalle constitute ministerial errors within the meaning of section 735(e) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.224(f). 6 Consistent with 19 CFR 351.224(e), Commerce is amending the LTFV Final Determination to reflect the correction of these two ministerial errors. Correction of these ministerial errors changes Xiamen Dalle's final estimated weighted-average dumping margin from 312.31 percent to 312.54 percent. As a result, we are also revising the estimated weighted-average dumping margin assigned to the separate rate companies from 291.04 percent to 292.03 percent. 7 The amended estimated weighted-average dumping margins are listed in the “Amended Final Determination” section below.

On August 4, 2025, in accordance with 735(d) of the Act, the ITC notified Commerce of its final determination that an industry in the United States is materially injured within the meaning of section 735(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Act by reason of imports of LSPTVs that are sold in the United States at LTFV. Therefore, in accordance with sections 735(c)(2) and 736 of the Act, Commerce is issuing this AD order. Because the ITC determined that imports of LSPTVs from China are materially injuring a U.S. industry, unliquidated entries of such merchandise from China, entered or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, are subject to the assessment of antidumping duties.

Therefore, in accordance with section 736(a)(1) of the Act, Commerce will direct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to assess, upon further instruction by Commerce, antidumping duties equal to the amount by which the normal value of the subject merchandise exceeds the export price (or constructed export price) of the subject merchandise, for all relevant entries of LSPTVs from China. Antidumping duties will be assessed on unliquidated entries of LSPTVs from China entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after January 30, 2025, the date of publication of the LTFV Preliminary Determination, 8 but will not include entries occurring after the expiration of the provisional measures period and before publication of the ITC's final injury determination, as further described in the “Provisional Measures—AD ” section of this notice.

Furthermore, both Commerce and the ITC found that critical circumstances exist for LSTPVs from China produced and exported by Guangdong Lvtong, LSTPVs from China produced and exported by the non-examined separate rate companies ( see Appendix II), and LSTPVs from China produced or exported by the China-wide entity; critical circumstances were not found for LSPTVs from China produced and exported by Xiamen Dalle. Accordingly, Commerce will direct CBP to assess, upon further instruction by Commerce, antidumping duties equal to the amount by which the normal value of the subject merchandise exceeds the export price (or constructed export price) of the subject merchandise, for all entries of LSPTVs from China, except those produced and exported by Xiamen Dalle, entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after November 1, 2024 through January 29, 2025 ( i.e., 90 days prior to the date of publication of the LTFV Preliminary Determination ).

In accordance with section 736 of the Act, Commerce intends to instruct CBP to continue the suspension of liquidation of entries of LSPTVs from China, effective on the date of publication of the ITC's final affirmative injury determination in the Federal Register . Commerce also intends to instruct CBP to require cash deposits equal to the estimated weighted-average dumping margins, as revised in this amended final determination and adjusted for subsidy offsets, as indicated in the table below. The rate for the China-wide entity applies to all producer and exporter combinations not specifically listed below in the Amended Final Determination.

These instructions suspending liquidation and cash deposit requirements will remain in effect until further notice.

In addition, under section 735(b)(4)(A) of the Act, the ITC found that critical circumstances exist with respect to imports subject to Commerce's affirmative critical circumstances determination under section 735(a)(3) of the Act. Therefore, we intend to instruct CBP to suspend liquidation of entries of subject merchandise entered for consumption on or after November 1, 2024 through January 29, 2025, except for subject merchandise produced and exported by Xiamen Dalle. Further, CBP will collect the appropriate cash deposit for estimated antidumping duties for such entries. 9

The amended estimated weighted-average dumping margins are as follows:

Section 733(d) of the Act states that suspension of liquidation pursuant to an affirmative preliminary determination may not remain in effect for more than four months, except where exporters representing a significant proportion of exports of the subject merchandise request that Commerce extend the four-month period to no more than six months. Commerce published the LTFV Preliminary Determination on January 30, 2025. At the request of the exporter that accounted for a significant proportion of export of LSPTVs from China, Commerce extended the four-month period to no more than six months. 10 Therefore, the six-month provisional measures period beginning on the date of the publication of the LTFV Preliminary Determination ended on July 28, 2025.

In accordance with section 733(d) of the Act and its practice, 11 Commerce will instruct CBP to terminate the suspension of liquidation and to liquidate, without regard to antidumping duties, unliquidated entries of LSPTVs from China entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after July 29, 2025, the first day provisional measures were no longer in effect, until and through the day preceding the date of publication of the ITC's final injury determination in the Federal Register .

Suspension of liquidation and the collection of cash deposits will resume on the date of publication of the ITC's final determination in the Federal Register .

On June 30, 2025, Commerce received ministerial error allegations from the petitioner alleging that Commerce made a ministerial error in the CVD Final Determination with respect to the adverse facts available (AFA) rate calculation for the non-respondent companies. 12 We reviewed the record, and agreed that that the error alleged by the petitioner constitutes a ministerial error within the meaning of section 735(e) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.224(f). 13 Specifically, Commerce found that it made an inadvertent error by not applying as AFA to the non-responsive companies the updated rate of 25.50 percent that we calculated in the Amended Preliminary Determination for the lithium ion batteries for less than adequate remuneration program. 14 Based on the correction, the AFA rate for the non-respondent companies is listed in the “Estimated Countervailable Subsidy Rates” section below. For further discussion, see Ministerial Analysis Memorandum.

On June 30, 2025 Guangdong Lvtong also submitted a timely ministerial error allegation regarding Commerce's response to its assertion that the rate for the Chinese Government's Purchase of LSPTVs for More than Adequate Remuneration (MTAR) Program should be based on a per-weight, rather than a per-unit basis, 15 which we did not directly address in the Final Determination. 16 Guangdong Lvtong contends that we committed a ministerial error by not directly responding to its argument. 17 A ministerial error is defined in 19 CFR 351.224(f) as “an error in addition, subtraction, or other arithmetic function, clerical error resulting from inaccurate copying, duplication, or the like, and any other similar type of unintentional error which the Secretary considers ministerial.”  18 We disagree with Guangdong Lvtong that this constitutes a ministerial error, as this assertion by Guangdong Lvtong does not fall within the definition as set forth in 19 CFR 351.224(f). For further discussion, see Ministerial Analysis Memorandum.

As stated above, based on the affirmative determination by the ITC that an industry in the United States is materially injured within the meaning of section 705(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Act by reason of subsidized imports of LSPTVs from China, in accordance with sections 705(c)(2) and 706 of the Act, Commerce is issuing this CVD order. Because the ITC determined that imports of LSPTV's from China are materially injuring U.S. industry, unliquidated entries of such merchandise entered or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, are subject to the assessment of countervailing duties.

Therefore, in accordance with section 706(a) of the Act, Commerce will direct CBP to assess, upon further instruction by Commerce, countervailing duties on all relevant entries of LSPTVs from China entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption, on or after September 7, 2024, which is 90 days prior to the date of publication of the CVD Preliminary Determination. 19 Countervailing duties will not be assessed on entries occurring after the expiration of the provisional measures period and before the publication of the ITC's final affirmative injury determination, as further described in the “Provisional Measures” section of this notice.

Furthermore, the ITC found that critical circumstances exist with respect to all imports subject to Commerce's affirmative critical circumstances finding within the meaning of section 705(b)(4)(A) of the Act. As a result of Commerce's affirmative critical circumstances determination under section 705(a)(2) of the Act, and the ITC's affirmative critical circumstances determination under section 705(b)(4)(A) of the Act, retroactive duties will be applied to the relevant imports for a period of 90 days prior to the suspension of liquidation ( i.e. 90 days prior to the publication of the Preliminary Determination ). 20

In accordance with section 706 of the Act, Commerce intends to instruct CBP to reinstitute the suspension of liquidation of LSPTVs from China, effective on the on the date of publication of the ITC's final affirmative injury determination in the Federal Register , and to assess, upon further instruction by Commerce, pursuant to section 706(a)(1) of the Act, countervailing duties on each entry of subject merchandise in an amount based on the net countervailable subsidy rates below. These instructions suspending liquidation will remain in effect until further notice.

Commerce also intends, pursuant to section 706(a)(1) of the Act, to instruct CBP to require cash deposits equal to the amounts as indicated below. Accordingly, effective on the date of publication of the ITC's final affirmative injury determination in the Federal Register , CBP will require, at the same time as importers would normally deposit estimated customs duties on the subject merchandise, a cash deposit for each entry of subject merchandise equal to the subsidy rates listed below. 21

In addition, under section 705(a)(2)(A) of the Act, the ITC found that critical circumstances exist with respect to imports subject to Commerce's affirmative critical circumstances determination under section 735(a)(3) of the Act. Therefore, we intend to instruct CBP to suspend liquidation of entries of subject merchandise entered for consumption on or after September 7, 2024, through December 5, 2024. Further, CBP will collect the appropriate cash deposit for estimated antidumping duties for such entries. 22

The estimated CVD subsidy rates are as follows:

Section 703(d) of the Act states that the suspension of liquidation pursuant to an affirmative preliminary determination may not remain in effect for more than four months. Commerce published the CVD Preliminary Determination on December 6, 2024. 23 As such, the four-month period beginning on the date of the publication of the CVD Preliminary Determination ended on April 4, 2025.

Therefore, in accordance with section 703(d) of the Act, Commerce instructed CBP to discontinue the suspension of liquidation and to liquidate, without regard to countervailing duties, unliquidated entries of LSPTVs from China entered or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on or after April 5, 2025, the first day provisional measures were no longer in effect, until and through the day preceding the date of publication of the ITC final injury determination. Suspension of liquidation and the collection of cash deposits will resume on the date of publication of the ITC final injury determination in the Federal Register .

On September 20, 2021, Commerce published the Final Rule in the Federal Register . 24 On September 27, 2021, Commerce also published the Procedural Guidance in the Federal Register . 25 The Final Rule and Procedural Guidance provide that Commerce will maintain an annual inquiry service list for each order or suspended investigation, and any interested party submitting a scope ruling application or request for circumvention inquiry shall serve a copy of the application or request on the persons on the annual inquiry service list for that order, as well as any companion order covering the same merchandise from the same country of origin. 26 In accordance with the Procedural Guidance, for orders published in the Federal Register after November 4, 2021, Commerce will create an annual inquiry service list segment in Commerce's online e-filing and document management system, Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Electronic Service System (ACCESS), available at https://access.trade.gov, within five business days of publication of the order. Each annual inquiry service list will be saved in ACCESS, under each case number, and under a specific segment type called “AISL Annual Inquiry Service List.”  27

Interested parties who wish to be added to the annual inquiry service list for an order must submit an entry of appearance to the annual inquiry service list segment for the order in ACCESS within 30 days after the date of publication of the order. For ease of administration, Commerce requests that law firms with more than one attorney representing interested parties in an order designate a lead attorney to be included on the annual inquiry service list. Commerce will finalize the annual inquiry service list within five business days thereafter. As mentioned in the Procedural Guidance, 28 the new annual inquiry service list will be in place until the following year, when the Opportunity Notice for the anniversary month of the order is published.

Commerce may update an annual inquiry service list at any time as needed based on interested parties' amendments to their entries of appearance to remove or otherwise modify their list of members and representatives, or to update contact information. Any changes or announcements pertaining to these procedures will be posted to the ACCESS website.

In the Final Rule, Commerce stated that, “after an initial request and placement on the annual inquiry service list, both petitioners and foreign governments will automatically be placed on the annual inquiry service list in the years that follow.”  29 Accordingly, as stated above, the petitioner and the Government of China should submit their initial entries of appearance after publication of this notice in order to appear in the first annual inquiry service lists for those orders for which they qualify as an interested party. Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.225(n)(3), the petitioner and the Government of China will not need to resubmit their entries of appearance each year to continue to be included on the annual inquiry service list. However, the petitioner and the Government of China are responsible for making amendments to their entries of appearance during the annual update to the annual inquiry service list in accordance with the procedures described above.

This notice constitutes the AD and CVD orders with respect to LSPTVs from China, pursuant to sections 736(a) and 706(a) of the Act. Interested parties can find a list of AD and CVD orders currently in effect at https://enforcement.trade.gov/stats/iastats1.html.

These orders are issued and published in accordance with sections 736(a) and 706(a) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.211(b).

The MMPA prohibits the “take” of marine mammals, with certain exceptions. Sections 101(a)(5)(A) and (D) of the MMPA (16 U.S.C. 1361 et seq. ) direct the Secretary of Commerce (as delegated to NMFS) to allow, upon request, the incidental, but not intentional, taking of small numbers of marine mammals by U.S. citizens who engage in a specified activity (other than commercial fishing) within a specified geographical region if certain findings are made and either regulations are proposed or, if the taking is limited to harassment, a notice of a proposed IHA is provided to the public for review.

Authorization for incidental takings shall be granted if NMFS finds that the taking will have a negligible impact on the species or stock(s) and will not have an unmitigable adverse impact on the availability of the species or stock(s) for taking for subsistence uses (where relevant). Further, NMFS must prescribe the permissible methods of taking and other “means of effecting the least practicable adverse impact” on the affected species or stocks and their habitat, paying particular attention to rookeries, mating grounds, and areas of similar significance, and on the availability of such species or stocks for taking for certain subsistence uses (referred to here as “mitigation”); and requirements pertaining to the monitoring and reporting of the takings. The definition of all applicable MMPA statutory used above are included in the relevant sections below and can be found in section 3 of the MMPA (16 U.S.C. 1362) and NMFS' implementing regulations at 50 CFR 216.103.

NMFS' regulations implementing the MMPA at 50 CFR 216.107(e) indicate that IHAs may be renewed for additional periods of time not to exceed 1 year for each reauthorization. In the notice of proposed IHA for the initial IHA, NMFS described the circumstances under which we would consider issuing a renewal for this activity, and requested public comment on a potential renewal under those circumstances. Specifically, on a case-by-case basis, NMFS may issue a one-time, 1-year renewal of an IHA following notice to the public providing an additional 15 days for public comments when (1) up to another year of identical, or nearly identical, activities as described in the Detailed Description of Specified Activities section of the initial IHA issuance notice is planned or (2) the activities as described in the Description of the Specified Activities and Anticipated Impacts section of the initial IHA issuance notice would not be completed by the time the initial IHA expires and a renewal would allow for completion of the activities beyond that described in the DATES section of the notice of issuance of the initial IHA, provided all of the following conditions are met:

1. A request for renewal is received no later than 60 days prior to the needed renewal IHA effective date (recognizing that the renewal IHA expiration date cannot extend beyond 1 year from expiration of the initial IHA).

2. The request for renewal must include the following:

• An explanation that the activities to be conducted under the requested renewal IHA are identical to the activities analyzed under the initial IHA, are a subset of the activities, or include changes so minor ( e.g., reduction in pile size) that the changes do not affect the previous analyses, mitigation and monitoring requirements, or take estimates (with the exception of reducing the type or amount of take); and

• A preliminary monitoring report showing the results of the required monitoring to date and an explanation showing that the monitoring results do not indicate impacts of a scale or nature not previously analyzed or authorized.

3. Upon review of the request for renewal, the status of the affected species or stocks, and any other pertinent information, NMFS determines that there are no more than minor changes in the activities, the mitigation and monitoring measures will remain the same and appropriate, and the findings in the initial IHA remain valid.

An additional public comment period of 15 days (for a total of 45 days), with direct notice by email, phone, or postal service to commenters on the initial IHA, is provided to allow for any additional comments on the proposed renewal. A description of the renewal process may be found on our website at: https://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/national/marine-mammal-protection/incidental-harassment-authorization-renewals. Any comments received on the potential renewal, along with relevant comments on the initial IHA, have been considered in the development of this proposed IHA renewal, and a summary of agency responses to applicable comments is included in this notice. NMFS will consider any additional public comments prior to making any final decision on the issuance of the requested renewal, and agency responses will be summarized in the final notice of our decision.

The 2004 NDAA (Pub. L. 108-136) removed the “small numbers” and “specified geographical region” limitations indicated above and amended the definition of “harassment” as it applies to a “military readiness activity.” The activity for which incidental take of marine mammals is being requested addressed here qualifies as a military readiness activity.

To comply with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA; 42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq. ) and NOAA Administrative Order (NAO) 216-6A, NMFS must review our proposed action ( i.e., the issuance of a renewal IHA) with respect to potential impacts on the human environment.

In August 2022, the U.S. Navy prepared an Overseas Environmental Assessment (OEA). Prior to issuing the initial IHA for the project, we reviewed the OEA and the public comments received, determined that a separate NEPA analysis was not necessary, and subsequently adopted the document and issued our own Finding of No Significant Impact in support of the issuance of an IHA (89 FR 77089; September 14, 2024).

We have reviewed ONR's application for a renewal IHA for ongoing ARA from September 2025 to September 2026 and the 2024 IHA monitoring report. Based on that review, we have determined that the proposed action is nearly identical to that considered in the previous IHA, the only change being a reduction in proposed activities. In addition, no significant new circumstances or information relevant to environmental concerns have been identified. Thus, we have preliminarily determined that the preparation of a new or supplemental NEPA document is not necessary.

On September 14, 2024, NMFS issued an IHA to ONR to take marine mammals incidental to ARA in the Beaufort and Chukchi Seas (89 FR 77089; September 14, 2024), effective from September 14, 2024, through September 13, 2025. On July 8, 2025, NMFS received an application for the renewal of that initial IHA. As described in the application for the renewal IHA, the activities for which incidental take is requested are nearly identical to those covered in the initial authorization, the only change being a reduction in proposed activities. As required, the applicant also provided a preliminary monitoring report which confirms that the applicant has implemented the required mitigation and monitoring, and which also shows that no impacts of a scale or nature not previously analyzed or authorized have occurred as a result of the activities conducted.

This proposed renewal IHA would cover the eighth year of a larger project for which ONR obtained prior IHAs and renewal IHAs (83 FR 48799, September 27, 2018; 84 FR 50007, September 24, 2019; 85 FR 53333, August 28, 2020; 86 FR 54931, October 5, 2021; 87 FR 57458, September 20, 2022; 88 FR 65657, September 18, 2023; 89 FR 77089; September 14, 2024). ONR has complied with all the requirements ( e.g., mitigation, monitoring, and reporting) of the previous IHAs.

The ONR ARA Global Prediction Program supports two major projects: Stratified Ocean Dynamics of the Arctic (SODA) and Arctic Mobile Observing System (AMOS). The SODA and AMOS projects have been previously discussed in association with previously issued IHAs (83 FR 40234, August 14, 2018; 84 FR 37240, July 31, 2019). However, only activities relating to the AMOS project will occur during the period covered by this proposed action.

Project activities involve acoustic testing and a multi-frequency navigation system concept test using left-behind active acoustic sources. More specifically, these experiments involve the deployment of moored, drifting, and ice-tethered active acoustic sources from the Research Vessel (R/V) Sikuliaq. Recovery of equipment may be from R/V Sikuliaq, U.S. Coast Guard Cutter HEALY, or another vessel, and icebreaking may be required. Underwater sound from the active acoustic sources and noise from icebreaking may result in Level B harassment of marine mammals. The activities proposed under the renewal IHA are nearly identical to those in the initial IHA, with the only change being a reduction in the number of research cruises from two to one.

ONR's request is for authorization of take of the Arctic stock of ringed seals ( Pusa hispida hispida ), and Beaufort Sea and Eastern Chukchi Sea stocks of beluga whales (Delphinapterus leucas ) by Level B harassment only. The proposed take numbers are identical to those authorized in the initial IHA, and the anticipated impacts would also be identical to those analyzed in the initial IHA (89 FR 77089, September 14, 2024). Neither ONR nor NMFS expect serious injury or mortality to result from ONR's ARA. Additional information on the proposed activities may be found in the notice of proposed IHA (89 FR 66068, August 14, 2024) for the initial authorization and notice of final IHA (89 FR 77089, September 14, 2024).

A detailed description of the activities for which authorization of take is proposed here may be found in the notices of the proposed and final IHAs for the initial authorization. The location, timing, and nature of the activities, including the types of equipment planned for use, are identical to those described in the previous notices. The proposed renewal IHA would be effective for a period not exceeding 1 year from the date of expiration of the initial IHA.

A description of the marine mammals in the area of the activities for which authorization of take is proposed here, including information on abundance, status, distribution, and hearing, may be found in the notice of the proposed IHA for the initial authorization. NMFS has reviewed the preliminary monitoring data from the initial IHA, recent draft Stock Assessment Reports (SARs), information on relevant Unusual Mortality Events (UMEs), and other scientific literature, and determined there is no new information that affects which species or stocks have the potential to be affected or the pertinent information in the Description of the Marine Mammals in the Area of Specified Activities contained in the supporting documents for the initial IHA.

A description of the potential effects of the specified activity on marine mammals and their habitat for the activities for which an authorization of incidental take is proposed here may be found in the notice of the proposed IHA for the initial authorization. NMFS has reviewed the preliminary monitoring data from the initial IHA, recent draft SARs, information on relevant UMEs, and other scientific literature, and determined that there is no new information that affects our initial analysis of impacts on marine mammals and their habitat.

A detailed description of the methods and inputs used to estimate take for the specified activity are found in the notices of the proposed and final IHAs for the initial authorization. Specifically, the source levels, days of operation, and marine mammal density and occurrence data applicable to this authorization remain unchanged from the initial IHA. Similarly, the stocks taken, methods of take, and types of take remain unchanged from the previously issued IHA, as do the number of takes, which are indicated below in table 1.

The proposed mitigation, monitoring, and reporting measures included as requirements in this authorization are identical to those included in the Federal Register notice announcing the issuance of the initial IHA, and the discussion of the least practicable adverse impact included in that document and the notice of the proposed IHA remains accurate. The following measures are proposed for this renewal:

• All vessels operated by or for the Navy must have personnel assigned to stand watch at all times while underway. Watch personnel must employ visual search techniques using binoculars. While underway and while using active acoustic sources/towed in-water devices, at least one person with access to binoculars is required to be on watch at all times.

• Vessel captains and vessel personnel must remain alert at all times, proceed with extreme caution, and operate at a safe speed so that the vessel can take proper and effective action to avoid any collisions with marine mammals.

• During moored and drifting acoustic source deployment and recovery, ONR must implement a mitigation zone of 55 m around the deployed source. Deployment and recovery must cease if a marine mammal is visually detected within the mitigation zone.

• Vessels must avoid approaching marine mammals head-on and must maneuver to maintain a mitigation zone of 457 m around all observed cetaceans and 183 m around all other observed marine mammals, provided it is safe to do so.

• Activities must cease if a marine mammal species for which take was not authorized, or a species for which authorization was granted but the authorized number of takes has been met, is observed approaching or within the mitigation zone (table 2). Activities must not resume until the animal is confirmed to have left the area.

• Vessel captains must maintain at-sea communication with subsistence hunters to avoid conflict of vessel transit with hunting activity.

• While underway, all vessels must have at least one person trained through the U.S. Navy Marine Species Awareness Training Program on watch during all activities.

• Watch personnel must use standardized data collection forms, whether hard copy or electronic. Watch personnel must distinguish between sightings that occur during transit or during deployment or recovery of acoustic sources. Data must be recorded on all days of activities, even if marine mammals are not sighted.

• During deployment and recovery of acoustic sources or unmanned undersea vehicles, visual observation must begin 30 minutes prior to deployment or recovery and continue through 30 minutes following the source deployment or recovery.

• The ONR must submit its draft report(s) on all monitoring conducted under the IHA within 90 calendar days of the completion of monitoring or 60 calendar days prior to the requested issuance of any subsequent IHA for research activities at the same location, whichever comes first. A final report must be prepared and submitted within 30 calendar days following receipt of any NMFS comments on the draft report. If no comments are received from NMFS within 30 calendar days of receipt of the draft report, the report shall be considered final.

• In the event of a vessel strike of a marine mammal by any vessel involved in the activities covered by the authorization, the ONR shall report the incident to OPR, NMFS and to the Alaska regional stranding coordinator (877-925-7773) as soon as feasible. The report must include time, date, and location of the incident, species identification, vessel speed, vessel course/heading and operations, sound source status, avoidance measures taken, environmental conditions, animal's estimated size, length, and behavior, presence and behavior of other marine mammals in the area, estimated fate of the animal, and photos/video footage of the animal, if available.

As noted previously, NMFS published a notice of a proposed IHA (89 FR 66068, August 14, 2024) and solicited public comments on both our proposal to issue the initial IHA for ARA and on the potential for a renewal IHA, should certain requirements be met. All public comments were addressed in the notice announcing the issuance of the initial IHA (89 FR 77089, September 20, 2024) and none of the comments specifically pertained to the renewal of the initial IHA.

NMFS has preliminarily concluded that there is no new information suggesting that our analysis or findings should change from those reached for the initial IHA. Based on the information and analysis contained here and in the referenced documents, NMFS has determined the following: (1) the required mitigation measures will effect the least practicable impact on marine mammal species or stocks and their habitat; (2) the authorized takes will have a negligible impact on the affected marine mammal species or stocks; (3) the authorized takes represent small numbers of marine mammals relative to the affected stock abundances; (4) ONR's activities will not have an unmitigable adverse impact on taking for subsistence purposes as no relevant subsistence uses of marine mammals are implicated by this action; and (5) appropriate monitoring and reporting requirements are included.

Section 7(a)(2) of the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq. ) requires that each Federal agency ensure that any action it authorizes, funds, or carries out is not likely to jeopardize the continued existence of any endangered or threatened species or result in the destruction or adverse modification of designated critical habitat. To ensure ESA compliance for the issuance of IHAs, NMFS Office of Protected Resources (OPR) consults internally whenever we propose to authorize take for endangered or threatened species, in this case with the NMFS Alaska Regional Office (AKR).

There is one marine mammal species (Arctic stock of ringed seal) with confirmed occurrence in the study area that is listed as threatened under the ESA. The NMFS AKR issued a Biological Opinion on September 13, 2022, under section 7 of the ESA, on the issuance of an IHA to ONR under section 101(a)(5)(D) of the MMPA by the NMFS OPR. The Biological Opinion concluded that the action is not likely to jeopardize the continued existence of Arctic ringed seals, and is not likely to destroy or adversely modify Arctic ringed seal critical habitat.

As a result of these preliminary determinations, NMFS proposes to issue a renewal IHA to ONR for conducting an eighth year of ARA in the Beaufort and Chukchi Seas from September 2025 to September 2026, provided the previously described mitigation, monitoring, and reporting requirements are incorporated. A draft of the proposed and final initial IHA can be found at https://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/permit/incidental-take-authorizations-under-marine-mammal-protection-act. We request comment on our analyses, the proposed renewal IHA, and any other aspect of this notice. Please include with your comments any supporting data or literature citations to help inform our final decision on the request for this renewal IHA.

The subject permit is requested under the authority of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq. ) and the regulations governing the taking, importing, and exporting of endangered and threatened species (50 CFR parts 222-226).

The applicant proposes to conduct research on sea turtles incidentally entrained at the St. Lucie Nuclear Power Plant in St. Lucie, Florida. Researchers would investigate sea turtle demographics, health, diet, movements, and behavior of up to 200 green, 5 hawksbill, 10 Kemp's ridley, 3 leatherback, and 200 loggerhead sea turtles, annually, that are legally captured by the plant. Researchers would collect blood, scute samples, skin biopsies, and swabs from each animal prior to their release in the Atlantic Ocean. Some animals would also receive an instrument attachment (drill carapace or epoxy); gastric lavage; ultrasound; or be temporarily held for tank-based experiments, such as bycatch reduction trials or foraging behavior trials. The permit would be valid for 10 years.

This 36(b)(1) arms sales notification is published to fulfill the requirements of section 155 of Public Law 104-164 dated July 21, 1996. The following is a copy of a letter to the Speaker of the House of Representatives with attached Transmittal 24-53 and Policy Justification.

(i) Prospective Purchaser: Government of Ukraine

(ii) Total Estimated Value:

Funding Source : Foreign Military Financing

(iii) Description and Quantity or Quantities of Articles or Services under Consideration for Purchase: The Government of Ukraine has requested to buy sustainment-related articles and services for the HAWK Phase III missile system, including:

(iv) Military Department: Army (UP-B-UCX)

(v) Prior Related Cases, if any: NX-B-VGA, NW-B-WTD (USAI Cases)

(vi) Sales Commission, Fee, etc., Paid, Offered, or Agreed to be Paid: None

(vii) Sensitivity of Technology Contained in the Defense Article or Defense Services Proposed to be Sold: None

(viii) Date Report Delivered to Congress: April 9, 2024

* as defined in Section 47(6) of the Arms Export Control Act.

The Government of Ukraine has requested to buy sustainment-related articles and services for the HAWK Phase III missile system, including engineering and integration for communications and interoperability; refurbishment and system overhaul of HAWK air defense fire units; missile recertification components; tool kits; test equipment; support equipment; technical documentation; spare parts; training; U.S. Government and contractor technical and field office support; and other related elements of logistics and program support. The estimated total cost is $138 million.

The Secretary of State has determined and provided detailed justification that an emergency exists that requires the immediate sale to the Government of Ukraine of the above defense articles and services in the national security interests of the U.S., thereby waiving the congressional review requirements under Section 36(b) of the Arms Export Control Act, as amended.

This proposed sale will support the foreign policy goals and national security objectives of the U.S. by improving the security of a partner country that is a force for political stability and economic progress in Europe.

Ukraine has an urgent need to increase its capabilities to defend against Russian missile strikes and the aerial capabilities of Russian forces. Maintaining and sustaining the HAWK missile system will enhance Ukraine's ability to defend its people and protect critical national infrastructure.

The proposed sale of this equipment and support will not alter the basic military balance in the region.

The principal contractors will be RTX Corporation, located in Andover, MA, and PROJECTXYZ, located in Huntsville, AL. Equipment will be supplied from a combination of U.S. Army stock, country donations, Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS), and new production. There are no known offset agreements proposed in connection with this potential sale.

Implementation of this proposed sale will require temporary duty travel of an estimated 5 U.S. Government and 15 contractor representatives to Europe to support HAWK system training and sustainment.

There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a result of this proposed sale.

Title: FERC-542, Gas Pipelines Rates: Rate Tracking.

OMB Control No.: 1902-0070.

Type of Request: Three-year extension of the FERC-542 information collection requirements with no changes to the reporting requirements.

Abstract: The Commission uses FERC-542 filings to verify that costs which are passed through to pipeline customers as rate adjustments are consistent with the Natural Gas Policy Act (NGPA), 15 U.S.C. 3301-3432, and sections 4 and 5 of the Natural Gas Act (NGA), 15 U.S.C. 717c and 717d. These statutory provisions require FERC to regulate the transmission and sale of natural gas for resale in interstate commerce at just and reasonable rates. This collection of information is also in accordance with section 16 of the NGA, 15 U.S.C. 717o, which authorizes FERC to implement the NGA through its rules and regulations.

The regulations at 18 CFR part 154 include provisions that allow an interstate natural gas pipeline to submit filings seeking to:

• Recover research, development and demonstration expenditures (18 CFR 154.401);

• Recover annual charges assessed under 18 CFR part 382 (18 CFR 154.402); and

• Passthrough, on a periodic basis, a single cost or revenue item such as fuel use and unaccounted-for natural gas in kind (18 CFR 154.403).

FERC-542 filings may be submitted at any time or on a regularly scheduled basis in accordance with the pipeline company's tariff. Filings may be: (1) accepted; (2) suspended and set for hearing; (3) minimal suspension; or (4) suspended for further review, such as technical conference or some other type of Commission action. The Commission implements these filing requirements under 18 CFR part 154.

Type of Respondents: Jurisdictional Natural Gas Pipelines

Estimate of Annual Burden:   1 The Commission estimates the total burden and cost for this information collection as follows:

Comments: Comments are invited on: (1) whether the collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Commission, including whether the information will have practical utility; (2) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden and cost of the collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance the quality, utility and clarity of the information collection; and (4) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, including the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology.

Section 3407 of the Central Valley Project Improvement Act (CVPIA) (Pub. L. 102- 575, 106 Stat. 4706, 4726) establishes in the Treasury of the United States the CVP Restoration Fund to carry out the habitat restoration, improvement, and acquisition provisions of the CVPIA. The CVPIA further requires the Secretary of the Interior to assess and collect annual mitigation and restoration payments from CVP Water and Power Contractors (Restoration Payments). The Secretary of the Interior, through the Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation), is responsible for determining and collecting CVP Water and Power Contractors' share of the annual Total Restoration Fund Payment Obligation.

Because WAPA-SN markets and transmits CVP power and maintains all CVP power contracts, WAPA-SN agreed to collect the Restoration Payments from CVP Power Contractors. WAPA-SN executed a letter of agreement with Reclamation to establish procedures for depositing collections from CVP Power Contractors into the Restoration Fund.

The proposed procedures for the collection of the Restoration Payments are detailed below. These collection procedures remain unchanged but are being republished, for administrative purposes, to remove references to a specific WAPA-SN PMP.

Reclamation is responsible for assigning the PRPO for the CVP Power Contractors. On or about July 1 of each year, Reclamation will provide a letter to WAPA-SN with the determined PRPO amount and a detailed explanation of the computation for the upcoming fiscal year (FY). Upon receiving the letter from Reclamation, WAPA-SN will notify CVP Power Contractors of the annual PRPO and the monthly amount to be collected.

WAPA-SN will allocate the PRPO among the CVP Power Contractors each FY. After notification by Reclamation, WAPA-SN will calculate the annual obligation for each CVP Power Contractor based on their assigned Base Resource percentage as specified in their power contracts. Each CVP Power Contractor's annual obligation will be divided by twelve (12) months and billed equally over the FY.

Each CVP Power Contractor will receive a Restoration Fund bill monthly on or about the twenty-fifth (25th) but no later than the last day of the month. The Restoration Fund billing cycle for each FY will begin within thirty (30) days following August 1 or the date written notification of the annual PRPO is received from Reclamation, whichever occurs later.

All CVP Power Contractors' Restoration Payments are due and payable before the close of business twenty (20) calendar days after each Restoration Fund bill is issued, or the next business day thereafter, if said day is a Saturday, Sunday, or federal holiday.

WAPA-SN will add a late payment charge of five hundredths percent (0.05%) of the principal amount unpaid for each day the Restoration Payment is delinquent. Payments received will be first applied to the charges for the late payment assessed on the principal and then to the payment of the principal.

On or about the twenty-seventh (27th) calendar day of the month following each billing month, WAPA-SN will transfer all Restoration Payments received, including late payment charges, to Reclamation for deposit into the Restoration Fund. The thirtieth (30th) of September of each FY is the last day WAPA-SN will transfer Restoration Payments, including late payment charges, to Reclamation for that FY.

The Exchange Program may result in some CVP Power Contractors receiving small amounts of energy in excess of their contractual Base Resource percentage in some months. Although recipients of this exchange energy will pay for this power, Restoration Fund obligations are based on each CVP Power Contractor's percentage of the contractual Base Resource excluding exchange energy. Alternatively, some CVP Power Contractors that are not able to use all their contractual Base Resource and return it as exchange energy could be overpaying their Restoration Fund obligations, since their actual power usage might be less than their contractual Base Resource percentage in a given month.

To rectify underpayments made by recipients of the exchange energy and overpayments by other CVP Power Contractors, WAPA-SN will conduct a reconciliation process, otherwise known as an annual true-up, before preparing August Restoration Fund bills. This reconciliation will require WAPA-SN to identify energy amounts exchanged among individual CVP Power Contractors monthly. The applicable billing periods will track exchange energy associated with power deliveries from July to June service months. This information will provide the basis for determining the amount of energy exchanged during the billing year.

WAPA-SN will add an additional charge, or a balloon payment, to the August Restoration Fund bills for each CVP Power Contractor who received exchange energy during the past year that exceeded their contractual Base Resource percentage. Conversely, WAPA-SN will also post an offsetting credit on their August bills for those CVP Power Contractors that provided exchange energy, thus decreasing the amount of contractual Base Resource energy received.

WAPA-SN reviewed the contributions the Trinity River Division (TRD) and New Melones projects provide, either directly or indirectly, to environmental mitigation in support of CVPIA and/or projects supported by the CVPIA Restoration Fund. The TRD and New Melones projects deliver significant environmental benefits toward the CVPIA Restoration Fund programs.

Since CVPIA was enacted, these facilities have been reoperated, so CVP meets the standards and guidelines set forth by CVPIA. With the reoperation of these facilities and the fact that the First Preference (FP) customers' energy entitlements are based on the generation output of these facilities, their reoperation ultimately affects these customers. These circumstances provide a basis by which to exclude Restoration Fund collections from any FP customers within the affected areas.

WAPA-SN will review the procedures for the assessing and collecting of Restoration Payments from the CVP Power Contractors every five (5) years or if one of the following occurs: (1) if there is a significant change to or suspension of the legislation, (2) if a material issue arises, (3) if an apparent inequity in the procedures is discovered, or (4) if any significant change occurs that affects the procedures.

WAPA-SN intends the collection procedures go into effect March 1, 2026, and remain in effect until superseded.

All studies, comments, letters, memorandums, or other documents that WAPA-SN initiates or uses to develop the proposed collection procedures are available for inspection and copying at the Sierra Nevada Regional Office, located at 114 Parkshore Drive, Folsom, CA. Many of these documents and supporting information are also available on WAPA-SN's website at: www.wapa.gov/about-wapa/regions/sn/sn-rates/restoration-fund/.

WAPA is in the process of determining whether an environmental assessment or an environmental impact statement should be prepared or if this action can be categorically excluded from those requirements. 1

WAPA has an exemption from centralized regulatory review under Executive Order 12866; accordingly, no clearance of this notice by the Office of Management and Budget is required.

The Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act (EGRRCPA) established at the Board an Insurance Policy Advisory Committee (IPAC) to advise the Board on international capital standards and other insurance matters. This notice advises individuals of the opportunity to be considered for appointment to the IPAC. To assist with the appointment of IPAC members, the Board considers information submitted by the candidate, public information, and any other relevant information the Board determines to consider.

The IPAC has at most 21 members. IPAC members serve staggered three-year terms. Members are appointed to three-year terms unless the Board appoints a member to fill a vacant unexpired term. A member that is appointed to serve a three-year term begins his or her service on the first January 1 occurring after his or her appointment. A member appointed to fill a vacant unexpired term serves for the remainder of the term. The Board provides a nominal honorarium and reimburses members only for their actual travel expenses, subject to Board policy.

A Statement of Interest must contain the following information:

• Full name;

• Address;

• Phone number; and

• Email address.

At their option, candidates may provide additional information for consideration.

IPAC candidates should be insurance experts. The Board provides equal appointment opportunity to all persons without regard to race, color, religion, sex (including sexual orientation, gender identity, and pregnancy), national origin, age, disability, genetic information, or military service. In addition, the Board seeks, consistent with section 211 of EGRRCPA, 1 a diverse set of expert perspectives from the various sectors of the U.S. insurance industry including life insurance, property and casualty insurance and reinsurance, agents and brokers, academics, consumer advocates, and experts on issues facing underserved insurance communities and consumers. The Board also seeks relevant actuarial, legal, regulatory, and accounting expertise, as well as expertise on lines of business underwritten by its currently supervised population of insurance institutions.

Members must be willing and able to participate in conference calls and prepare for and attend meetings in person. Membership and attendance is not delegable.

Notice is hereby given that the Office of Research Integrity (ORI) and the Suspension and Debarment Official (SDO) have taken final action in the following case:

Ryan Evanoff, Washington State University (WSU): Based on the preponderance of the evidence from the WSU investigation and obtained by ORI in its oversight review, ORI found that Mr. Evanoff, former Scientific Assistant, Department of Veterinary Microbiology and Pathology, WSU, engaged in research misconduct under 42 CFR part 93 in research funded by PHS, specifically NIAID, NIH, grant R21 AI126304.

ORI found by a preponderance of the evidence that Respondent intentionally and knowingly falsified and/or fabricated the following DNA sequences reported in research records, each of which purports to include data from a different sequencing reaction: pC-293_pcDNAF_CZ3082_1.seq, pC-293_pcDNAR_CZ3083_2.seq, pQ-293_pQEfPR_CZ3084_3.seq, pQ-293_pQErev_CZ3085_4.seq, pQ-CD81_pQEfPR_CZ3086_1.seq, and pQ-CD81_pQErev_CZ3087_2.seq.

Based on the information in the administrative record, the HHS SDO proposed debarment under 2 CFR 180.800(b)(1)—“Violation of the terms of a public agreement or transaction so serious as to affect the integrity of a Federal agency program, such as willful failure to perform in accordance with the terms of one or more public agreements or transactions;” and 2 CFR 180.800(d)—“Any other cause that is so serious or compelling in nature that it affects your present responsibility” to protect the Federal Government's interest.

HHS provided Respondent the opportunity to contest the proposed debarment under 42 CFR part 93 by requesting a hearing before an administrative law judge with the HHS Departmental Appeals Board or alternatively, in lieu of requesting a hearing, to contest under 2 CFR part 180. Respondent did not contest within the prescribed 30-day period. Accordingly, the following administrative action has been implemented:

• For a period of three (3) years, beginning on June 16, 2025, Respondent is debarred from participating in “covered transactions” as defined in 42 CFR § 180.200 and procurement transactions covered under the Federal Acquisition Regulation (48 CFR chapter 1).

Section 106 of the HUD Reform Act added a new section 7(q) to the Department of Housing and Urban Development Act (42 U.S.C. 3535(q)), which provides that:

1. Any waiver of a regulation must be in writing and must specify the grounds for approving the waiver;

2. Authority to approve a waiver of a regulation may be delegated by the Secretary only to an individual of Assistant Secretary or equivalent rank, and the person to whom authority to waive is delegated must also have authority to issue the particular regulation to be waived;

3. Not less than quarterly, the Secretary must notify the public of all waivers of regulations that HUD has approved, by publishing a notice in the Federal Register . These notices (each covering the period since the most recent previous notification) shall:

a. Identify the project, activity, or undertaking involved;

b. Describe the nature of the provision waived and the designation of the provision;

c. Indicate the name and title of the person who granted the waiver request;

d. Describe briefly the grounds for approval of the request; and

e. State how additional information about a particular waiver may be obtained.

Section 106 of the HUD Reform Act also contains requirements applicable to waivers of HUD handbook provisions that are not relevant to the purpose of this notice.

This notice follows procedures provided in HUD's Statement of Policy on Waiver of Regulations and Directives issued on April 22, 1991 (56 FR 16337). In accordance with those procedures and with the requirements of section 106 of the HUD Reform Act, waivers of regulations are granted by the Assistant Secretary with jurisdiction over the regulations for which a waiver was requested. In those cases in which a General Deputy Assistant Secretary granted the waiver, the General Deputy Assistant Secretary was serving in the absence of the Assistant Secretary in accordance with the office's Order of Succession.

This notice covers waivers of regulations granted by HUD from January 1, 2025 through March 31, 2025. For ease of reference, the waivers granted by HUD are listed by HUD program office (for example, the Office of Community Planning and Development, the Office of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity, the Office of Housing, and the Office of Public and Indian Housing, etc.). Within each program office grouping, the waivers are listed sequentially by the regulatory section of title 24 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) that is being waived. For example, a waiver of a provision in 24 CFR part 58 would be listed before a waiver of a provision in 24 CFR part 570.

Where more than one regulatory provision is involved in the grant of a particular waiver request, the action is listed under the section number of the first regulatory requirement that appears in 24 CFR and that is being waived. For example, a waiver of both § 58.73 and § 58.74 would appear sequentially in the listing under § 58.73.

Waiver of regulations that involve the same initial regulatory citation are in time sequence beginning with the earliest-dated regulatory waiver.

Should HUD receive additional information about waivers granted during the period covered by this report (the first quarter of calendar year 2025) before the next report is published (the second quarter of calendar year 2025), HUD will include any additional waivers granted for the first quarter in the next report.

Accordingly, information about approved waiver requests pertaining to HUD regulations is provided in the Appendix that follows this notice.

In accordance with the PRA of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq. ) and 5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1), as part of our continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent burdens, we invite the public and other Federal agencies to comment on new, proposed, revised, and continuing collections of information. This helps us assess the impact of our information collection requirements and minimize the public's reporting burden. It also helps the public understand our information collection requirements and provide the requested data in the desired format.

We are especially interested in public comment addressing the following:

(1) Whether or not the collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether or not the information will have practical utility;

(2) The accuracy of our estimate of the burden for this collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used;

(3) Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and

(4) How the agency might minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic submission of response.

Comments that you submit in response to this notice are a matter of public record. We will include or summarize each comment in our request to OMB to approve this information collection request (ICR). Before including your address, phone number, email address, or other personally identifiable information (PII) in your comment, you should be aware that your entire comment—including your PII—may be made publicly available at any time. While you can ask us in your comment to withhold your PII from public review, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so.

Abstract: The National Land Remote Sensing Education, Outreach and Research Activity involves the development of a U.S. national consortium in building the capability to receive, process, and archive remotely sensed data for the purpose of providing access to university and State organizations in a ready-to-use format. It also involves expanding the science of remote sensing through education, research/applications development, and outreach in areas such as environmental monitoring (including the effects of climate variability on water availability), phenology, natural resource management, and disaster analysis.

Respondents submit proposals to acquire funding for a U.S. national program to promote the uses of space-based land remote sensing data and technologies through education and outreach at the State and local level and through university-based and collaborative research projects. Respondents provide sufficient and relevant information to help decision makers evaluate and select proposals for funding. A panel of USGS managers and scientists will review each proposal to evaluate technical merit, requirements, and compatibility with the priorities identified in the call for proposals.

This notice concerns the collection of information that is sufficient and relevant to evaluate and select proposals for funding. We will protect information from respondents considered proprietary under the Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552) and its implementing regulations (43 CFR part 2) and under regulations at 30 CFR 250.197, “Data and information to be made available to the public or for limited inspection.” Responses are voluntary. No questions of a “sensitive” nature are asked. We intend to release the project abstracts and primary investigators for awarded/funded projects only.

Title of Collection: “National Land Remote Sensing Education, Outreach and Research Activity.”

OMB Control Number: 1028-0085.

Form Number: None.

Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.

Respondents/Affected Public: Public or private institutions of higher education including universities; State and local governments (including county, city township, or special district governments); independent school districts; Native American Tribal governments or organizations; and nonprofit organizations (with or without 501(c)(3) status).

Total Estimated Number of Annual Respondents: Approximately 5 respondents.

Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: Approximately 5 responses or applications.

Estimated Completion Time per Response: We expect to receive approximately 5 applications per year, taking each applicant approximately 24 hours to complete, totaling 120 burden hours. We anticipate awarding one grant per year. The grantee will be required to submit an interim annual progress report to the designated USGS project officer within 90 days of the end of the project period and a final report on or before 90-business days after the expiration of the agreement.

Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 120 hours per year.

Respondent's Obligation: Required to obtain a benefit.

Frequency of Collection: Annually.

Total Estimated Annual Nonhour Burden Cost: There are no “non-hour-cost” burdens associated with this ICR.

An agency may not conduct or sponsor, nor is a person required to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.

The authority for this action is the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq. ).

Authority: 43 U.S.C. chap. 3.

Section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930 provides that, if the Commission finds a violation, it shall exclude the articles concerned from the United States unless, after considering the effect of such exclusion upon the public health and welfare, competitive conditions in the United States economy, the production of like or directly competitive articles in the United States, and United States consumers, it finds that such articles should not be excluded from entry. (19 U.S.C. 1337(d)(1)). A similar provision applies to cease and desist orders. (19 U.S.C. 1337(f)(1)).

The Commission is soliciting submissions on public interest issues raised by the recommended relief should the Commission find a violation, specifically: a general exclusion order directed to certain women's flats with colored outsoles thereof imported, sold for importation, and/or sold after importation by respondents Kijera's OneDrop LLC of New York, New York; Craze of Essel Park, Philippines; Pierjeda Information Technology Co., Ltd. d/b/a “Piergitar”, and Guangzhou Shun Cheng Trading Co., Ltd. of Guangzhou, China; Shengze Trading Company of Zhangshou City, China; Kunming Ouxiang Trading Co., Ltd. of Kunming City, China; Huihui Bianan of Beijing, China; Bingxin Qingfeng of Zhongshan City, China; Baiqiuju1983, tb249835650, Yuyoufang Foreign Trade Store, and Xu Wengping 123 of Zhongshan City, China; and Ynwll of Huilongguan, China (collectively, “Respondents”). Parties are to file public interest submissions pursuant to 19 CFR 210.50(a)(4).

The Commission is interested in further development of the record on the public interest in this investigation. Accordingly, members of the public and interested government agencies are invited to file submissions of no more than five (5) pages, inclusive of attachments, concerning the public interest in light of the ALJ's Recommended Determination on Remedy and Bonding issued in this investigation on July 23, 2025. Comments should address whether issuance of the recommended remedial orders in this investigation, should the Commission find a violation, would affect the public health and welfare in the United States, competitive conditions in the United States economy, the production of like or directly competitive articles in the United States, or United States consumers.

In particular, the Commission is interested in comments that:

(i) explain how the articles potentially subject to the recommended remedial orders are used in the United States;

(ii) identify any public health, safety, or welfare concerns in the United States relating to the recommended orders;

(iii) identify like or directly competitive articles that complainant, its licensees, or third parties make in the United States which could replace the subject articles if they were to be excluded;

(iv) indicate whether complainant, complainant's licensees, and/or third-party suppliers have the capacity to replace the volume of articles potentially subject to the recommended orders within a commercially reasonable time; and

(v) explain how the recommended orders would impact consumers in the United States.

Written submissions must be filed no later than by close of business on Monday, September 8, 2025.

Persons filing written submissions must file the original document electronically on or before the deadlines stated above pursuant to 19 CFR 210.4(f). Submissions should refer to the investigation number (“Inv. No. 337-TA-1428”) in a prominent place on the cover page and/or the first page.

Persons with questions regarding filing should contact the Secretary (202-205-2000).

Any person desiring to submit a document to the Commission in confidence must request confidential treatment by marking each document with a header indicating that the document contains confidential information. This marking will be deemed to satisfy the request procedure set forth in Rules 201.6(b) and 210.5(e)(2) (19 CFR 201.6(b) & 210.5(e)(2)). Documents for which confidential treatment by the Commission is properly sought will be treated accordingly. Any non-party wishing to submit comments containing confidential information must serve those comments on the parties to the investigation pursuant to the applicable Administrative Protective Order. A redacted non-confidential version of the document must also be filed simultaneously with any confidential filing and must be served in accordance with Commission Rule 210.4(f)(7)(ii)(A) (19 CFR 210.4(f)(7)(ii)(A)). All information, including confidential business information and documents for which confidential treatment is properly sought, submitted to the Commission for purposes of this investigation may be disclosed to and used: (i) by the Commission, its employees and Offices, and contract personnel (a) for developing or maintaining the records of this or a related proceeding, or (b) in internal investigations, audits, reviews, and evaluations relating to the programs, personnel, and operations of the Commission including under 5 U.S.C. Appendix 3; or (ii) by U.S. government employees and contract personnel, solely for cybersecurity purposes. All contract personnel will sign appropriate nondisclosure agreements. All nonconfidential written submissions will be available for public inspection on EDIS.

This action is taken under the authority of section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1337), and in Part 210 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR part 210).
