---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 determine that there 
is a subsidy, i.e., a financial contribution from an ``authority'' that 
confers a benefit to the recipient, and that the subsidy is 
specific.\7\ For a full description of the methodology underlying our 
conclusions, see the Final Decision Memorandum.

financial contribution; section 771(5)(E) of the Act regarding 
benefit; and section 771(5A) of the Act regarding specificity.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In making these findings, we relied, in part, on facts available 
and, because the GOC did not act to the best of its ability to respond 
to the Department's requests for information, we drew an adverse 
inference in selecting from among the facts otherwise available.\8\ For 
further information, see ``Use of Facts Otherwise Available and Adverse 
Inferences'' in the Final Decision Memorandum.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ See sections 776(a) and (b) of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Final Results of the Review

    In accordance with 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5), we determine a net 
countervailable subsidy rate of 17.55 percent ad valorem for the RZBC 
Companies.

Assessment Rates

    The Department intends to issue appropriate assessment instructions 
directly to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 15 days after the 
date of publication of these final results, to liquidate shipments of 
subject merchandise by the RZBC Companies entered, or withdrawn from 
warehouse, for consumption on or after January 1, 2012, through 
December 31, 2012.

Cash Deposit Instructions

    The Department also intends to instruct CBP to collect cash 
deposits of estimated CVDs in the amount shown above on shipments of 
subject merchandise by the RZBC Companies entered, or withdrawn from 
warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of publication of the 
final results of this review. For all non-reviewed companies, we will 
instruct CBP to continue to collect cash deposits at the most recent 
company-specific or country-wide rate applicable to the company. 
Accordingly, the cash deposit rates that will be applied to companies 
covered by this order, but not examined in this review, are those 
established in the most recently completed segment of the proceeding 
for each company. These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall 
remain in effect until further notice.

Administrative Protective Order

    This notice serves as a reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under 
APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely written 
notification of return or destruction of APO materials or conversion to 
judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to comply with 
the regulations and the terms of an APO is a sanctionable violation.
    We are issuing and publishing these results in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended.
