Background
This preliminary determination is
made in accordance with section 703(b)
of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended
(the Act). On February 20, 2018, we
initiated a countervailing duty (CVD)
investigation of rubber bands from
Thailand.1 On April 12, 2018, in

accordance with section 703(c)(1)(A) of
the Act, we postponed the preliminary
determination of this investigation to
July 2, 2018.2
For a complete description of the
events that followed the initiation of
this investigation, see the Preliminary
Decision Memorandum.3 A list of topics
discussed in the Preliminary Decision
Memorandum is included as an
Appendix to this notice. The
Preliminary 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).
ACCESS is available to registered users
at https://access.trade.gov, and is

final CVD determination in this
investigation with the final
determination in the companion
antidumping duty (AD) investigation of
rubber bands based on a request made
by the petitioner.5 Consequently, the
final CVD determination will be issued
on the same date as the final AD
determination, which is currently
scheduled to be issued no later than
November 13, 2018, unless postponed.6
Scope of the Investigation
The products subject to this
investigation are rubber bands from
Thailand. For a complete description of
the scope of this investigation, see
Appendix I.
0.37 (de minimis).
Methodology
Commerce is conducting this
investigation in accordance with section
701 of the Act. For each of the subsidy
programs found countervailable,
Commerce 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.4
Alignment
As noted in the Preliminary Decision
Memorandum, in accordance with
section 705(a)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.210(b)(4)(i), we are aligning the
Countervailing Duty Investigations, 83 FR 8429
(February 27, 2018) (Initiation Notice).

People’s Republic of China: Postponement of

Preliminary Determination
For this preliminary determination,
Commerce calculated de minimis
estimated countervailable subsidies for
all individually examined producers/
exporters of the subject merchandise.
Consistent with section 703(b)(4)(A) of
the Act, Commerce has disregarded the
de minimis rates. Commerce
preliminarily determines that the
following estimated countervailable
subsidy rates exist:
Company
Liang Hah Heng International Rubber Co.,
Ltd.
U. Yong Industry Co.,
Ltd.
Subsidy rate
(percent)
0.23 (de minimis).
Consistent with section 703(d) of the
Act, Commerce has not calculated an
estimated weighted-average subsidy rate
for all other producers/exporters
because it has not made an affirmative
preliminary determination.
Suspension of Liquidation
Because Commerce preliminarily
determines that no countervailable
subsidies are being provided to the
production or exportation of subject
merchandise, Commerce will not direct
U.S. Customs and Border Protection to
suspend liquidation of any such entries.
5 The petitioner in this investigation is Alliance
Rubber Co. See Letter from the petitioner, ‘‘Petition
for the Imposition of Antidumping and
Countervailing Duties on Rubber Bands from
Thailand and China—Petitioner’s Request for
Postponement of the Preliminary Determinations,’’
dated March 27, 2018.
6 The AD preliminary determination was
postponed to no later than August 29, 2018, see
Rubber Bands from the People’s Republic of China
and Thailand: Postponement of Preliminary
Determinations in the Less-Than-Fair-Value
Investigations, 83 FR 29748 (June 26, 2018).
Therefore, the AD final determination is currently
due for signature no later than Monday, November
12, 2018, which is a federal holiday. Commerce’s
practice dictates that where a deadline falls on a
weekend or federal holiday, the appropriate
deadline is the next business day (see Notice of
Clarification: Application of ‘‘Next Business Day’’
Rule for Administrative Determination Deadlines
Pursuant to the Tariff Act of 1930, As Amended, 70
FR 24533 (May 10, 2005). As such, the AD final
determination signature date rolls to Tuesday,
November 13, 2018.

Preliminary Determination
For this preliminary determination, Commerce calculated de minimis
estimated countervailable subsidies for all individually examined
producers/exporters of the subject merchandise. Consistent with section
703(b)(4)(A) of the Act, Commerce has disregarded the de minimis rates.
Commerce preliminarily determines that the following estimated
countervailable subsidy rates exist:

Company Subsidy rate (percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Liang Hah Heng International Rubber Co., 0.23 (de minimis).
Ltd.
U. Yong Industry Co., Ltd................. 0.37 (de minimis).
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Consistent with section 703(d) of the Act, Commerce has not
calculated an estimated weighted-average subsidy rate for all other
producers/exporters because it has not made an affirmative preliminary
determination.
Suspension of Liquidation
Because Commerce preliminarily determines that no countervailable
subsidies are being provided to the production or exportation of
subject merchandise, Commerce will not direct U.S. Customs and Border
Protection to suspend liquidation of any such entries.
