Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 155 / Friday, August 11, 2006 / Notices
found the December 2002 restructuring
was de facto specific to Hynix within
the meaning of section 771(5A)(D)(iii)(I)
of the Act. See AR1 Decision
Memorandum at 10–11.
Nothing on the record of this review
would lead us to reconsider these prior
specificity findings.

III. Programs Previously Found Not to
Have Been Used or Provided No
Benefits
We preliminarily determine that the
following programs were not used
during the POR: See Hynix’s December
22, 2005, Questionnaire Response at 24
and the GOK’s December 22, 2005,
Questionnaire Response at 13.
A. Short–term Export Financing
B. 1.Tax Programs Under the TERCL
and/or the RSTA
2. Tax Credit for Investment in
Facilities for Productivity
Enhancement (Article 25 of RSTA/
Article 25 of TERCL)
3. Tax Credit for Investment in
Facilities for Special Purposes
(Article 25 of RSTA)
4. Reserve for Overseas Market
Development (formerly, Article 17
of TERCL)
5. Reserve for Export Loss (formerly,
Article 16 of TERCL)
6. Tax Exemption for Foreign
Technicians (Article 18 of RSTA)
7. Reduction of Tax Regarding the
Movement of a Factory That Has
Been Operated for More Than Five
Years (Article 71 of RSTA)
C. Tax Reductions or Exemption on
Foreign Investments under Article 9
of the Foreign Investment
Promotion Act (‘‘FIPA’’)/ FIPA
(Formerly Foreign Capital
Inducement Law)
D. Duty Drawback on Non–Physically
Incorporated Items and Excessive
Loss Rates
E. Export Insurance
F. Electricity Discounts Under the
RLA Program
G. System IC 2010 Project
In the first administrative review, the
Department found that ‘‘any benefits
provided to Hynix under the System IC
2010 Project are tied to non–subject
merchandise’’ and, therefore, that
‘‘Hynix did not receive any
countervailable benefits under this
program during the POR,’’ in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.525(b)(5).
See AR1 Decision Memorandum at 15.
No new information has been provided
with respect to this program. Therefore,
we preliminarily find that Hynix did not
receive any countervailing benefits from
the System IC 2010 Project during the
POR.

Preliminary Results of Review
In accordance with 19 CFR
351.221(b)(4)(i), we calculated an
individual subsidy rate for Hynix
Semiconductor, Inc., the producer/
exporter covered by this administrative
review. We preliminarily determine that
the total estimated net countervailable
subsidy rate for Hynix for calendar year
2004 is 31.86 percent ad valorem.
If the final results of this review
remain the same as these preliminary
results, the Department intends to
instruct CBP, within 15 days of
publication of the final results of this
review, to liquidate shipments of
DRAMS by Hynix entered or withdrawn
from warehouse, for consumption from
January 1, 2004, through December 31,
2004, at 31.86 percent ad valorem of the
F.O.B. invoice price.
The Department also intends to
instruct CBP to collect cash deposits of
estimated countervailing duties at 31.86
percent ad valorem of the F.O.B. invoice
price on all shipments of the subject
merchandise from Hynix, entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after the date of
publication of the final results of this
administrative review.
We will instruct CBP to continue to
collect cash deposits for non–reviewed
companies covered by this order at the
most recent company–specific rate
applicable to the company. Accordingly,
the cash deposit rate that will be
applied to non–reviewed companies
covered by this order will be the rate for
that company established in the
investigation. See Notice of Amended
Final Affirmative Countervailing Duty
Determination: Dynamic Random
Access Memory Semiconductors from
the Republic of Korea, 68 FR 44290 (July
28, 2003). The ‘‘all others’’ rate shall
apply to all non–reviewed companies
until a review of a company assigned
this rate is requested. The Department
has previously excluded Samsung
Electronics Co., Ltd. from this order. Id.
