Methodology
Commerce 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 governmentprovided financial contribution that
gives rise to a benefit to the recipient,
and that the subsidy is specific.4 For a
full description of the methodology
underlying Commerce’s conclusions,
including any determination that relied
upon the use of adverse facts available
pursuant to sections 776(a) and (b) of
the Act, see the Issues and Decision
Memorandum.
Rescission of Review for No Shipments
In the Preliminary Results, we stated
our intention to rescind the review with
respect to certain companies that
submitted no shipment certifications.5
We inquired with U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (CBP) whether these
companies had shipped merchandise to
the United States during this review
period, and CBP provided no evidence
to contradict the claims made by these
companies. Because no evidence of
shipments was placed on the record
following the Preliminary Results to
contradict those claims, we are
rescinding the administrative review of
Guangdong Xin Wei Aluminum
Products Co., Ltd., Xin Wei Aluminum
Co. Ltd., and Xin Wei Aluminum
Company Limited, pursuant to 19 CFR
351.213(d)(3).
Final Results of Administrative Review
In accordance with 19 CFR
351.221(b)(5), we determine the
following final net subsidy rates for the
2016 administrative review: 6

as appropriate. Accordingly, the cash
deposit requirements that will be
applied to companies covered by this
order, but not examined in this
administrative 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
I. Abstract
The Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield
Framework was designed by the U.S.
Department of Commerce (DOC) and the
Swiss Administration (Swiss) to provide
companies in both Switzerland and the
United States with a mechanism to
comply with data protection
requirements when transferring
personal data from Switzerland to the
United States in support of transatlantic
commerce. On January 12, 2017, the
Swiss deemed the Swiss-U.S. Privacy
Shield Framework (Swiss Privacy
Shield) adequate to enable data transfers
PO 00000
Frm 00009
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
under Swiss law, and on April 12, 2017,
the DOC began accepting selfcertifications from U.S. companies to
join the program (82 FR 16375; April 12,
2017). For more information on the
Privacy Shield, visit
www.privacyshield.gov.
As described in Annex I of the Swiss
Privacy Shield, the DOC and the Swiss
committed to implement an arbitration
mechanism to provide Swiss
individuals with the ability to invoke
binding arbitration to determine, for
residual claims, whether an
organization has violated its obligations
under the Privacy Shield. Organizations
voluntarily self-certify to the Swiss
Privacy Shield and, upon certification,
the commitments the organization has
made to comply with the Swiss Privacy
Shield become legally enforceable under
U.S. law. Organizations that self-certify
to the Swiss Privacy Shield commit to
binding arbitration of residual claims if
the individual chooses to exercise that
option. Under the arbitration option, a
Privacy Shield Panel a (consisting of one
or three arbitrators, as agreed by the
parties) has the authority to impose
individual-specific, non-monetary
equitable relief (such as access,
correction, deletion, or return of the
individual’s data in question) necessary
to remedy the violation of the Swiss
Privacy Shield only with respect to the
individual. The parties will select the
arbitrators from the list of arbitrators
described below.
The DOC and the Swiss
Administration are developing a list of
up to five arbitrators to supplement the
list of arbitrators developed under the
EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework. To
be eligible for inclusion on the
supplemental list, applicants must be
admitted to practice law in the United
States and have expertise in both U.S.
privacy law and European or Swiss data
protection law. Applicants shall not be
subject to any instructions from, or be
affiliated with, any Privacy Shield
organization, or the U.S., Switzerland,
EU, or any EU Member State or any
other governmental authority, public
authority or enforcement authority.
The DOC received emergency
approval for this information collection
on March 26, 2018 under Control
Number 0625–0278. Upon receiving that
approval, the DOC accepted
applications submitted by April 30,
2018 for inclusion on the Supplemental
List of Arbitrators. The DOC is currently
evaluating applicants who submitted by
April 30, 2018 and is thus not currently
a The Privacy Shield Panel would govern
arbitration proceedings brought under either the
Swiss-U.S. or EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Frameworks.

Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised in the parties' briefs are addressed in the
Issues and Decision Memorandum, dated concurrently with, and hereby
adopted by, this notice. A list of issues addressed is attached as an
Appendix to this notice. 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). ACCESS is available to registered users at https://access.trade.gov; the Issues and Decision Memorandum is available to
all parties in the Central Records Unit (CRU), Room B8024 of the main
Department of Commerce building. In addition, a complete version of the
Issues and Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly at https://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/. The signed and electronic versions of the
Issues and Decision Memorandum are identical in content.
Methodology
Commerce 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.\4\ For a full description of the methodology underlying
Commerce's conclusions, including any determination that relied upon
the use of adverse facts available pursuant to sections 776(a) and (b)
of the Act, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rescission of Review for No Shipments
In the Preliminary Results, we stated our intention to rescind the
review with respect to certain companies that submitted no shipment
certifications.\5\ We inquired with U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(CBP) whether these companies had shipped merchandise to the United
States during this review period, and CBP provided no evidence to
contradict the claims made by these companies. Because no evidence of
shipments was placed on the record following the Preliminary Results to
contradict those claims, we are rescinding the administrative review of
Guangdong Xin Wei Aluminum Products Co., Ltd., Xin Wei Aluminum Co.
Ltd., and Xin Wei Aluminum Company Limited, pursuant to 19 CFR
351.213(d)(3).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Decision Memorandum at 3.

In accordance with 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5), we determine the following
final net subsidy rates for the 2016 administrative review: \6\

Assessment Rates
Commerce intends to issue appropriate assessment instructions
directly to CBP, 15 days after publication of these final results of
review, to liquidate shipments of subject merchandise entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after January 1, 2016,
through December 31, 2016, at the ad valorem rates listed above.
Cash Deposit Requirements
Commerce also intends to instruct CBP to collect cash deposits of
estimated countervailing duties in the amounts indicated above for each
company listed on shipments of subject merchandise entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of
publication of the final results of this administrative review. For all
non-reviewed firms, we will instruct CBP to collect cash deposits of
estimated countervailing duties at the most recent company-specific or
all-others rate applicable to the company, as appropriate. Accordingly,
the cash deposit requirements that will be applied to companies covered
by this order, but not examined in this administrative 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 Act.
Dated: July 13, 2018.
