unintentional error which the Secretary
considers ministerial.’’ With respect to
preliminary determinations, 19 CFR
351.224(e) provides that the Department
‘‘will analyze any comments received
and, if appropriate, correct any
significant ministerial error by
amending the preliminary
determination. . .’’ A significant
ministerial error is defined as an error,
the correction of which, singly or in
combination with other errors, would
result in: (1) A change of at least five
absolute percentage points in, but not
less than 25 percent of, the
countervailable subsidy rate calculated
in the original (erroneous) preliminary
determination; or (2) a difference
between a countervailable subsidy rate
of zero (or de minimis) and a
countervailable subsidy rate of greater
than de minimis or vice versa.2
As explained further in the
Ministerial Error Memorandum issued
concurrently with this Notice,3 we
determine that the Preliminary
Determination contained an error with
respect to our calculation of ‘‘tier two’’
world market benchmark prices for
measuring the adequacy of
remuneration for the provision of
acidspar to respondents pursuant to 19
CFR 351.511(a)(2)(ii). Correction of this
error results in a change to the
preliminary subsidy rate for T.T.
International of more than five absolute
points and not less than 25 percent of
the originally calculated margin. Thus,
the error is significant for T.T.
International within the meaning of 19
CFR 351.224(g).4
Amended Preliminary Determination
The Department determines that there
was a significant ministerial error in the
subsidy rate calculated for T.T.
International in the Preliminary
Determination. Consequently, we are
amending the preliminary
countervailing duty rate calculation for
T.T. International pursuant to 19 CFR
351.224(e). In addition, the preliminary

Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance, from

Error in the Preliminary Determination,’’ dated
concurrently with this notice for the analysis
performed (‘‘Ministerial Error Memorandum’’). This
memorandum is on file electronically via
Enforcement and Compliance’s Antidumping and

‘‘All Others’’ rate was based on the
simple average of the subsidy rates
calculated for T.T. International and
Zhejiang Quhua Fluor-Chemistry Co.,
Ltd., and its cross-owned affiliates
(collectively ‘‘JUHUA’’). Thus, we are
also amending the ‘‘All Others’’ rate to
account for the change in T.T.
International’s subsidy rate.
Specifically, we are calculating the
simple average of the corrected subsidy
rate for T.T. International and the
subsidy rate for JUHUA, unchanged
from the Preliminary Determination.
The rate for Jiangsu Bluestar Green
Technology Co., Ltd. remains
unchanged.
As a result, the amended preliminary
net countervailable subsidy rates are as

received. Decision: Approved. We know
of no instruments of equivalent
scientific value to the foreign
instruments described below, for such
purposes as this is intended to be used,

Reasons: The instrument will be used to
study the oligomeric state of EGFP
tagged Retenoid X Receptor (RXR–
EGFP) in the absence and presence of its
ligand by PCH analysis, as well as
follow its binding to DNA and other
nuclear factors by conventional and
scanning fluorescence correlation
spectroscopy (FCS). The laser beam is
continuously scanned in a circular
fashion, which shows peaks and valleys
which add contrast and give
information about the scan radius,
diffusion coefficient and particle
concentrations that would be absent in
conventional FCS. Conventional scan
heads for laser microscopy have a finite
distance between their scan axes, which
introduces aberrations and vignetting
into the scan. These distortions in the
point spread function prohibit the
quantitative imaging experiments. The
Yanus IV scan head has been engineered
with an effective zero optical distance
between the scan axes, which maintains
diffraction-limited performance across
the entire scan field. This is the only
instrument with zero effective optical
distance between the scan axes.
