SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On May 21, 2025, the U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) initiated the countervailing duty (CVD) investigation of silicon metal from the Kingdom of Thailand (Thailand).[1] Simultaneously, Commerce initiated the less-than-fair-value (LTFV) investigations of silicon metal from Angola, Australia, the Lao People's Democratic Republic, and Norway.[2] The CVD investigation and the LTFV investigations cover the same class or kind of merchandise.

Alignment With Final LTFV Determinations

On September 23, 2025, in accordance with section 705(a)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), Ferroglobe USA, Inc. and Mississippi Silicon LLC (the petitioners) timely requested an alignment of the final CVD determination with the final LTFV determinations of silicon metal from Angola and the Lao People's Democratic Republic.[3] Therefore, in accordance with section 705(a)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.210(b)(4)(i), Commerce is aligning the final CVD determination of silicon metal from Thailand with the final LTFV determinations of silicon metal from Angola and the Lao People's Democratic Republic. Consequently, the final CVD determination will be issued on the same date as the final LTFV determinations, which are currently scheduled to be issued no later than December 15, 2025, unless postponed.

This notice is issued and published pursuant to section 705(a)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.210(b)(4)(i).
