SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the
Final Determination, the Department
assigned a total adverse facts available
(AFA) rate of 374.14 percent to the three
non-cooperating mandatory respondents
and calculated company-specific net
subsidy rates for two participating
voluntary respondents. The Department
averaged the rates calculated for the
mandatory respondents and applied that
rate as the all-others rate, calculated
pursuant to section 705(c)(5)(A) of the
Tariff Act of 1930 (the Act).4
In MacLean-Fogg I, the CIT held that
the statute was ambiguous concerning
whether the Department is required to
base the all-others rate on rates
calculated for mandatory respondents
and therefore the Department was
permitted to use the mandatory
respondents’ rates in calculating the allothers rate provided it did so in a
reasonable manner.5 Nonetheless, the
CIT remanded the all-others rate to the
Department for reconsideration because
the Department failed to articulate a
connection between the mandatory
respondent rates, based on AFA, and the
all-others companies.6
In MacLean-Fogg II, the CIT held that
the Department’s preliminary all-others
rate in the Preliminary Determination 7
was also subject to review under the
same reasonableness standard because it
had legal effect on the entries made

Aluminum Extrusions From the

Final Affirmative Countervailing Duty
Determination Pursuant to Court
Decision

International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: On October 23, 2015, the
United States Court of International
Trade (CIT) sustained the Department of
Commerce’s (the Department’s) results
of redetermination pursuant to court
remand, which recalculated the allothers subsidy rate in the countervailing
duty (CVD) investigation of aluminum
extrusions from the People’s Republic of
China (the PRC),1 pursuant to the CIT’s

during the interim time period between
the issuance of the preliminary and final
CVD rates, both as a cash deposit rate
and, if an annual review was sought, as
a cap on the final rate for those
particular entries.8 Thus, in MacLeanFogg II, the Court held that it would
consider the reasonableness of the
preliminary rate when it reviewed the
Department’s remand determination.9
In MacLean-Fogg III, the CIT
considered the Department’s remand
results.10 On remand, the Department
did not recalculate the all-others rate,
but rather, provided data indicating that
the rate calculated for the mandatory
respondents was logically connected to
the all-others companies because the
mandatory respondents comprised a
significant portion of the PRC extruded
aluminum producers and exporters, and
thus were representative of the PRC
extruded aluminum industry as a
whole.11 The CIT held that ‘‘nothing in
the statute requires that the mandatory
respondents’ rates, even when based on
AFA, may only be used to develop rates
for uncooperative respondents.’’ 12
However, in MacLean-Fogg III, the CIT
also concluded that the Department
failed to explain how the calculated allothers rate was remedial and not
punitive when it assumed use of all
subsidy programs identified in the
investigation.13 Therefore, the CIT
remanded again to the Department for
re-consideration of the issue.14
In the second results of
redetermination pursuant to remand
issued in this litigation, the Department
designated the all-others rate as equal to
the preliminary rate it calculated for the
mandatory respondents, i.e., 137.65
percent.15 In MacLean-Fogg IV, the CIT
affirmed the Department’s remand
results, holding that the Department’s
selection of this all-others rate was
reasonable.16
The CIT’s holdings were appealed to
the CAFC. On June 3, 2014, the CAFC
held that section 351.204(d)(3) of the
Department’s regulations, which directs
the Department to exclude voluntary
respondents’ rates from its calculation
of the all-others rate, was inconsistent

with the statute.17 Accordingly, the
CAFC held that the Department must
include rates calculated for voluntary
respondents in determining an allothers rate.18 As the Department had not
used the rates calculated for the
voluntary respondents in the underlying
investigation to determine the all-others
rate, the CAFC therefore held that the
Department was required to recalculate
the all-others rate using the voluntary
respondents’ rates. The CIT
subsequently remanded the issue to the
Department for reconsideration in light
of the CAFC’s holding.19
On remand, the Department
recalculated the all-others rate using a
simple average of the voluntary
respondents’ rates.20 Section
705(c)(5)(A)(i) of the Act provides that,
in general, the all-others rate ‘‘shall be
an amount equal to the weighted
average countervailable subsidy rates
established for exporters and producers
individually investigated . . . .’’
However, the Department explained in
the Third Remand Results that the use
of a weighted average would have
revealed the proprietary information of
the voluntary respondents to each
other.21
Petitioners 22 argued that the
Department should have requested
publicly ranged versions of proprietary
data on the record from the voluntary
respondents to use in its calculation of
the all-others rate, but in the Third
Remand Results, the Department
instead calculated the all-others rate
using a simple average of the rates of the
two voluntary respondents, which
resulted in a rate of 7.42 percent.23
After considering the Third Remand
Results, the CIT remanded to the
Department the all-others rate
calculation, explaining that the ‘‘statute
unequivocally and without exception
requires that the Department base the
all-others rate on the weighted average
of individually-investigated non-zero,
non-de minimis, non-AFA rates.’’ 24
Furthermore, the CIT emphasized that
19 CFR 351.304(c)(1) requires all
proprietary information ‘‘to be
accompanied by public versions ‘in
sufficient detail to permit a reasonable

understanding of the substance of the
information.’ ’’ 25 The CIT thus directed
the Department on remand to either
request the publicly ranged data from
the voluntary respondents, or publicly
range the companies’ information itself,
and reconsider its determination to use
a simple average of their subsidy rates.26
The Department requested and
received from the voluntary respondents
(i.e., Guang Ya Companies and Zhongya
Companies) their publicly ranged sales
value and volume data for exports of
subject merchandise to the United
States during the 2009 investigation
period. Using that data, the Department
calculated a weighted-average all-others
subsidy rate of 7.37 percent.27 In
accordance with the MacLean-Fogg
Remand Order, the Department
reconsidered its decision to rely on the
simple average of the voluntary
respondents’ rates in determining the
all-others rate.28 Specifically, because
the subsidy rate determined based on
the publicly ranged data, rather than the
subsidy rate determined based on a
simple average, is closer to the subsidy
rate that would have resulted from
weighting the voluntary respondents’
rates based on proprietary sales values,
the Department revised the all-others
rate to 7.37 percent in its Final Remand
Results.29
On October 23, 2015, in MacLean
Fogg Remand Order, the CIT affirmed
the Department’s Final Remand Results,
upholding that the Department’s allothers rate of 7.37 percent.30
Amended Final Determination
Because there is now a final court
decision with respect to the Final
Determination, the Department amends
its Final Determination. The following
revised net subsidy rate exists:
