Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised in the parties’ briefs
are addressed in the Issues and Decision
Memorandum, dated concurrently with
this notice, which is hereby adopted by
this notice. A list of the issues raised is
attached to this notice as an Appendix.
The Issues and Decision Memorandum
is a public document and is on file
electronically via Enforcement and
Compliance’s Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Centralized
Electronic Service System (ACCESS).8
ACCESS is available to registered users
at https://access.trade.gov and is
available to all parties in the Central
Records Unit, room 7046 of the main
Department of Commerce building. In
addition, a complete version of the
Issues and Decision Memorandum can
be accessed directly on the internet at
https://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/
index.html. The signed Issues and
Decision Memorandum and the
electronic version of the Issues and
Decision Memorandum are identical in
content.
Methodology
The Department conducted this
review in accordance with section
751(a)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (the Act). For each of the
subsidy programs found
countervailable, we find that there is a
subsidy, i.e., a government-provided
financial contribution that gives rise to
a benefit to the recipient, and that the
subsidy is specific.9
For a full description of the
methodology underlying all of the
Department’s conclusions, see the Issues
and Decision Memorandum.
Rate for Non-Selected Companies
Under Review
There are 58 companies 10 for which
a review was requested and not
rescinded, but were not selected as
mandatory respondents. We did not
calculate the non-selected rate by
weight-averaging the rates of the Alnan
Companies and Jiangsu Changfa, the
companies selected for individual
examination (mandatory respondents),
using their actual export sales of subject
merchandise to the United States for the
POR, because doing so risks disclosure
of proprietary information. We,
therefore, calculated an average rate
using the mandatory respondents’
publicly-ranged sales data for 2012. For
further information on the calculation of
the non-selected rate, see ‘‘Ad Valorem
Rate for Non-Selected Companies under
Review’’ in the Issues and Decision
Memorandum.
Rate for Non-Cooperatives Under
Review
There are four companies that did not
respond to the Department’s Quantity
and Value Questionnaire. For those noncooperative companies, we calculated
an adverse facts available rate (AFA).
For further information on the
calculation of the AFA rate, see ‘‘Ad
Valorem Rate for Non-Cooperative
Companies under Review’’ in the Issues
and Decision Memorandum.
Final Results of the Review
In accordance with 19 CFR
351.221(b)(5),we calculated the listed
net subsidy rates for 2012:

Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised in the parties' briefs are addressed in the
Issues and Decision Memorandum, dated concurrently with this notice,
which is hereby adopted by this notice. A list of the issues raised is
attached to this notice as an Appendix. The Issues and Decision
Memorandum is a public document and is on file electronically via
Enforcement and Compliance's Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Centralized Electronic Service System (ACCESS).\8\ ACCESS is available
to registered users at https://access.trade.gov and is available to all
parties in the Central Records Unit, room 7046 of the main Department
of Commerce building. In addition, a complete version of the Issues and
Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly on the internet at https://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/. The signed Issues and Decision
Memorandum and the electronic version of the Issues and Decision
Memorandum are identical in content.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\8\ On November 24, 2014, Enforcement and Compliance changed the
name of Enforcement and Compliance's AD and CVD Centralized
Electronic Service System (IA ACCESS) to AD and CVD Centralized
Electronic Service System (ACCESS). The Web site location was
changed from https://iaaccess.trade.gov to https://access.trade.gov.
The Final Rule changing the references to the regulations can be
found at 79 FR 69046 (November 20, 2014).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Methodology
The Department conducted this review in accordance with section
751(a)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). For each
of the subsidy programs found countervailable, we find that there is a
subsidy, i.e., a government-provided financial contribution that gives
rise to a benefit to the recipient, and that the subsidy is
specific.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\9\ See sections 771(5)(B) and (D) of the Act regarding
financial contribution; section 771(5)(E) of the Act regarding
benefit; and section 771(5A) of the Act regarding specificity.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
For a full description of the methodology underlying all of the
Department's conclusions, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum.
Rate for Non-Selected Companies Under Review
There are 58 companies \10\ for which a review was requested and
not rescinded, but were not selected as mandatory respondents. We did
not calculate the non-selected rate by weight-averaging the rates of
the Alnan Companies and Jiangsu Changfa, the companies selected for
individual examination (mandatory respondents), using their actual
export sales of subject merchandise to the United States for the POR,
because doing so risks disclosure of proprietary information. We,
therefore, calculated an average rate using the mandatory respondents'
publicly-ranged sales data for 2012. For further information on the
calculation of the non-selected rate, see ``Ad Valorem Rate for Non-
Selected Companies under Review'' in the Issues and Decision
Memorandum.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\10\ The Preliminary Results stated 59 companies. For the final
results, there are 58 companies because of the removal of one
company. See Comment 22 of the Issues and Decision Memorandum.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rate for Non-Cooperatives Under Review
There are four companies that did not respond to the Department's
Quantity and Value Questionnaire. For those non-cooperative companies,
we calculated an adverse facts available rate (AFA). For further
information on the calculation of the AFA rate, see ``Ad Valorem Rate
for Non-Cooperative Companies under Review'' in the Issues and Decision
Memorandum.
Final Results of the Review
In accordance with 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5), we calculated the listed
net subsidy rates for 2012:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\11\ The Alnan Companies are the producer of subject
merchandise, and Kromet is the exporter. The rate applies to subject
merchandise produced and/or exported by any of the named companies.
