**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:**
**Background**
On August 26, 2020, Commerce published in the *Federal Register* an antidumping duty (AD) order on wind towers from Indonesia. [^1] On August 1, 2024, Commerce published in the *Federal Register* a notice of opportunity [^2] to request an administrative review of the AD order on wind towers from Indonesia. [^3] On September 20, 2024, based on timely requests for review, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i), Commerce initiated an administrative review of the *Order.*[^4]

[^4]*See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews,* 89 FR 77079 (September 20, 2024) ( *Initiation Notice* ).
On December 10, 2024, Commerce tolled certain deadlines in this administrative proceeding by 90 days. [^5] On July 1, 2025, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2), Commerce extended the deadline for the preliminary results by 120 days until December 1, 2025. [^6] Due to the lapse in appropriations and Federal Government shutdown, on November 14, 2025, Commerce tolled all deadlines in administrative proceedings by 47 days. [^7] Additionally, due to a backlog of documents that were electronically filed via Enforcement and Compliance's Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service System (ACCESS) during the Federal Government shutdown, on November 24, 2025, Commerce tolled all deadlines in administrative proceedings by an additional 21 days. [^8] Accordingly, the deadline for these preliminary results is now February 5, 2026.

**Scope of the Order
11**
[^11]*See Order,* 85 FR 52547-52548
The merchandise covered by the scope of this *Order* is wind towers from Indonesia. [^12] For a complete description of the scope of the *Order, see* the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.
[^12] At the request of U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), Commerce added the Harmonized Tariff Schedule Of the United States (HTSUS) subheadings 7308.20.0030 and 7308.20.0035 to the scope to reflect the updates to the HTSUS. *See* Memorandum, “Request from Customs and Border Protection to Update the ACE AD/CVD Case Reference File,” dated January 12, 2026.
**Rescission of Administrative Review, In Part**
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), Commerce will rescind an administrative review, in whole or in part, if a company covered by the review had no recorded entries of subject merchandise during the POR. [^13] Based on our analysis of CBP information, we preliminarily determine that six companies listed in the *Initiation Notice* had no recorded entries of subject merchandise during the POR. On January 12, 2026, Commerce notified all interested parties of its intent to rescind this review, in part, with respect to these six companies. [^14] No interested party commented on the Intent to Rescind Memorandum. As a result, we are rescinding this review, in part, with respect to six companies listed in Appendix II of this notice. The administrative review remains active with respect to one company, PT. Kenertec Power System (Kenertec).

**Methodology**
Commerce is conducting this review in accordance with sections 751(a)(1)(B) and (2) of the Act. We calculated constructed export prices and NV in accordance with sections 772 and 773 of the Act, respectively. For a full description of the methodology underlying our preliminary results of review, *see* the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.
**Preliminary Results of Review**
We preliminarily determine the following weighted-average dumping margin for the period August 1, 2023, through July 31, 2024:
| Exporter/producer | Weighted-average dumping margin |
| --- | --- |
| PT. Kenertec Power System | 0.00 |
**Disclosure**
Commerce intends to disclose its calculations and analysis performed to interested parties for these preliminary results of this administrative review 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).
**Verification**
Commerce received a timely request from the Wind Tower Trade Coalition (the petitioner) to verify the information submitted in this administrative review, pursuant 19 CFR 351.307(b)(1)(v). [^15] As provided in section 782(i) of the Act, Commerce intends to verify the information reported by Kenertec prior to issuing the final results of this review.
[^15]*See* Petitioner's Letter, “Request for Verification,” dated December 30, 2024.
**Public Comment**
Because Commerce intends to conduct verification of the questionnaire responses of Kenertec, interested parties will be notified of the deadline for the submission of case briefs at a later date. [^16] Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.309(c)(1)(ii), interested parties may submit case briefs no later than seven days after the date on which the verification report is issued in this administrative review. 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. [^17] Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.309(c)(2) and (d)(2), interested parties who submit case or rebuttal briefs in this proceeding must submit: (1) a table of contents listing each issue; and (2) a table of authorities.
[^16]*See* 19 CFR 351.303 (for general filing requirements).
[^17]*See* 19 CFR 351.309(d); *see also Administrative Protective Order, Service, and Other Procedures in Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Proceedings,* 88 FR 67069, 67077 (September 29, 2023) ( *APO and Service Final Rule* ).
As provided under 19 CFR 351.309(c)(2)(iii) and (d)(2)(iii), we request that interested parties provide at the beginning of their briefs a public, executive summary for each issue raised in their briefs. [^18] Further, we request that interested parties limit their 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 review. We request that interested parties include footnotes for relevant citations in the executive summary of each issue.
[^18] We use the term “issue” here to describe an argument that Commerce would normally address in a comment of the Issues and Decision Memorandum.
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 in the *Federal Register* . Hearing requests should contain: (1) the requesting party's name, address, and telephone number; (2) the number of participants and whether any participant is a foreign national; and (3) a list of issues to be discussed. Issues raised in the hearing will be limited to those raised in the respective case and rebuttal briefs. If a request for a hearing is made, Commerce intends to hold the hearing at a date and time to be determined. [^19] Parties should confirm by telephone the date, time, and location of the hearing two days before the scheduled date.
[^19]*See* 19 CFR 351.310(d).
All submissions, including case and rebuttal briefs, as well as hearing requests, should be filed via ACCESS. [^20] An electronically filed document must be received successfully in its entirety by ACCESS by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the established deadline. Note that Commerce has amended certain of its requirements pertaining to the service of documents in 19 CFR 351.303(f). [^21]
[^20]*See* 19 CFR 351.303.
[^21]*See APO and Service Final Rule.*
**Final Results of Review**
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 case 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).
**Assessment Rates**
Upon completion of the final results, in accordance with section 751(a)(2)(A) of the Act, Commerce shall determine, and CBP shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries of subject merchandise covered by this review.
Where a respondent's weighted-average dumping either is zero or *de minimis,* or an importer-specific *ad valorem* assessment rate is zero percent or *de minimis,* Commerce's practice is to instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties. [^22] Thus, if Commerce continues to calculate a weighted-average dumping margin of zero percent for Kernetec in the final results of this review, it will instruct CBP to liquidate entries of Kenertec's subject merchandise during the POR without regard to antidumping duties.
[^22]*Id.,* 77 FR at 8102-03; *see also* 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2).
However, if Kenertec's weighted-average dumping margin is not zero or *de minimis* ( *i.e.,* less than 0.5 percent) in the final results of this review, we will calculate importer-specific assessment rates for antidumping duties based on the ratio of the total amount of dumping calculated for the importer's examined sales to the total entered value of those same sales in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). [^23] Where the respondent did not report entered values, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), Commerce will calculate importer/customer-specific assessment rates by dividing the amount of dumping for reviewed sales to the importer/customer by the total quantity of those sales. [^24] Commerce will calculate an estimated *ad valorem* importer/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. Where an importer/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.
[^23]*See Antidumping Proceedings: Calculation of the Weighted-Average Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping Proceedings; Final Modification,* 77 FR 8101, 8103 (February 14, 2012).
[^24]*See* 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
In accordance with Commerce's “automatic assessment” practice, for entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by Kenertec for which it did not know that the merchandise was destined for the United States, we will instruct CBP to liquidate those entries at the all-others rate established in the original less-than-fair-value (LTFV) investigation ( *i.e.,* 8.53 percent), [^25] if there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction. [^26]
[^25]*See Order,* 85 FR 52547.
[^26] For a full discussion of this practice, *see Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties,* 68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).
For the six companies for which the 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 POR, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(c)(1)(i). Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP for the rescinded companies no earlier than 35 days after the date of publication of this notice in the *Federal Register* .
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. [^27] Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days after the publication date 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).
[^27]*See* section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act.
**Cash Deposit Requirements**
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon publication in the *Federal Register* of the notice of final results of this administrative review for all shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date of the final results of this administrative review, as provided by 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) the cash deposit rate for the companies listed in the final results of this review will be equal to the weighted-average dumping margins 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 merchandise exported by a company not covered in this review, but covered in a prior segment of the proceeding, the cash deposit rate will be the company-specific rate published for the most recently-completed segment in which it was reviewed; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this review or in the original LTFV investigation, but the producer is, then 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 8.50 percent, the all-others rate established in the LTFV investigation. [^28] These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice.
[^28]*See Order,* 85 FR 52547.
**Notification to Importers**
This notice serves as a preliminary reminder to importers of their responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to the liquidation of the relevant entries during the POR. Failure to comply with this requirement could result in Commerce's presumption that reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of double antidumping duties.
**Notification to Interested Parties**
Commerce is issuing and publishing these results in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, 19 CFR 651.213(d)(3), 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2) and 351.221(b)(4).
