countervailing duty (CVD)
investigations in the preliminary
determination of the companion AD
investigation.
Methodology
The Department is conducting this
investigation in accordance with section
701 of the Act. For each of the subsidy
programs found countervailable, the
Department preliminarily determines
that there is a subsidy, i.e., a financial
contribution by an ‘‘authority’’ that
gives rise to a benefit to the recipient,
and that the subsidy is specific.6
The Department notes that in making
these findings, it relied, in part, on facts
available and, because it finds that one
or more respondents did not act to the
best of their ability to respond to the
Department’s requests for information, it
drew an adverse inference where
appropriate in selecting from among the
facts otherwise available.7 For further
information, see ‘‘Use of Facts
Otherwise Available and Adverse
Inferences’’ in the Preliminary Decision
Memorandum.
All-Others Rate
Sections 703(d) and 705(c)(5)(A) of
the Act provide that in the preliminary
determination, the Department shall
determine an estimated all-others rate
for companies not individually
examined. This rate shall be an amount
equal to the weighted average of the
estimated subsidy rates established for
those companies individually
examined, excluding any zero and de
minimis rates and any rates based
entirely under section 776 of the Act. In
this investigation, the Department
calculated individual estimated
countervailable subsidy rates for Jiangsu
Hongyi Steel Pipe Co., Ltd. (Hongyi) and
Zhangjiagang Huacheng Import & Export
Co., Ltd. (Huacheng I&E) that are not
zero, de minimis, or based entirely on
facts otherwise available. The
Department calculated the all-others’’
rate using a simple average of the
individual estimated subsidy rates
calculated for the examined
respondents.8
6 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.
7 See sections 776(a) and (b) of the Act.
8 With two respondents under examination, the
Department normally calculates (A) a weightedaverage of the estimated subsidy rates calculated for
the examined respondents; (B) a simple average of
the estimated subsidy rates calculated for the
examined respondents; and (C) a weighted-average
of the estimated subsidy rates calculated for the
examined respondents using each company’s
publicly-ranged values for the merchandise under
consideration. The Department then compares (B)
and (C) to (A) and selects the rate closest to (A) as
