measure a relevant business component
related to business productivity and
growth. The module fielded in 2016 for

AGENCY:
The Department is conducting this
countervailing duty (‘‘CVD’’)
investigation in accordance with section
701 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (the ‘‘Act’’). For a full
description of the methodology
underlying our preliminary conclusions,
see the Preliminary Decision Memo.1
The Preliminary Decision Memo is a
public document and is on file
electronically via Enforcement &
Compliance’s Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Centralized
Electronic Service System (‘‘ACCESS’’).
ACCESS is available to registered users
at https://access.trade.gov, and is
available to all parties in the Central
Records Unit, room B8024 of the main
Department of Commerce building. In
addition, a complete version of the
Preliminary Decision Memo can be
accessed directly on the Internet at
https://trade.gov/enforcement/frn/
index.html. The signed Preliminary
Decision Memo and the electronic
versions of the Preliminary Decision
Memo are identical in content.
The Department notes that, in making
these findings, we relied, in part, on
facts available and, because one or more
respondents did not act to the best of
their ability to respond to the
Department’s requests for information,
we drew an adverse inference, where
appropriate, in selecting from among the
facts otherwise available.2 For further
information, see ‘‘Use of Facts
Otherwise Available and Adverse
Inferences’’ in the Preliminary Decision
Memo.
Alignment
As noted in the Preliminary Decision
Memo, in accordance with section
705(a)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.210(b)(4), we are aligning the final
CVD determination in this investigation
with the final determination in the
companion antidumping duty (‘‘AD’’)
investigation of geogrids from the PRC.3
Consequently, the final CVD
determination will be issued on the
same date as the final AD
determination, which is currently
scheduled to be issued no later than
October 31, 2016, unless postponed.
Preliminary Determination and
Suspension of Liquidation
In accordance with section
703(d)(1)(A)(i) of the Act, we calculated
an estimated individual countervailable
subsidy rate for each producer/exporter
of the subject merchandise individually
investigated. We preliminarily
determine these rates to be:
