determination according to 19 CFR
351.224(e). A ministerial error is
defined in 19 CFR 351.224(f) as ‘‘an
error in addition, subtraction, or other
arithmetic function, clerical error
resulting from inaccurate copying,
duplication, or the like, and any other
similar type of unintentional error
which the Secretary considers
ministerial.’’ 4 A significant ministerial
error is defined as a ministerial error,
the correction of which, singly or in
combination with other errors, would
result in: (1) A change of at least five
absolute percentage points in, but not
less than 25 percent of, the
countervailing duty rate calculated in
the original preliminary determination;
or (2) a difference between a
countervailing duty rate of zero (or de
minimis) and a countervailing duty rate
greater than de minimis, or vice versa.5
Amended Preliminary Determination
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.224(e) and
(g)(1), Commerce is amending the
Preliminary Determination to reflect the
correction of a ministerial error made in
the calculation of the estimated
weighted-average all-others
countervailable subsidy rate. This error
is a significant ministerial error within
the meaning of 19 CFR 351.224(g)
because the all-other’s rate decreases
from 13.82 percent to 7.24 percent as a
result of correcting this ministerial
error, exceeding the specified threshold,
i.e., a change of at least five absolute
percentage points in, but not less than
25 percent of, the countervailable
subsidy rate calculated in the original
Preliminary Determination.6
Amended Cash Deposits and
Suspension of Liquidation
The collection of cash deposits and
suspension of liquidation will be
revised according to the rates calculated
in this amended preliminary
determination. Because these amended
rates result in decreased cash deposits,
the amended rate for the all-others rate
will be effective retroactively to May 3,
2019, the date of publication of the
Preliminary Determination. Parties will
be notified of this determination, in
accordance with section 733(d) and (f)
of the Act.

Appendix I—Scope of the Investigation
The merchandise covered by this
investigation, polyester textured yarn, is
synthetic multifilament yarn that is
manufactured from polyester (polyethylene
terephthalate). Polyester textured yarn is
produced through a texturing process, which
imparts special properties to the filaments of
the yarn, including stretch, bulk, strength,
moisture absorption, insulation, and the
appearance of a natural fiber. This scope
includes all forms of polyester textured yarn,
regardless of surface texture or appearance,
yarn density and thickness (as measured in
denier), number of filaments, number of
plies, finish (luster), cross section, color, dye
method, texturing method, or packing
method (such as spindles, tubes, or beams).
Excluded from the scope of this
investigation is bulk continuous filament
yarn that: (a) Is polyester synthetic
multifilament yarn; (b) has denier size ranges
of 900 and above; (c) has turns per meter of
40 and above; and (d) has a maximum
shrinkage of 2.5 percent.
The merchandise subject to this
investigation is properly classified under
subheadings 5402.33.3000 and 5402.33.6000
of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTSUS). Although the HTSUS
subheadings are provided for convenience
and customs purposes, the written
description of the scope of the investigation
is dispositive.

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.224(e) and (g)(1), Commerce is amending the
Preliminary Determination to reflect the correction of a ministerial
error made in the calculation of the estimated weighted-average all-
others countervailable subsidy rate. This error is a significant
ministerial error within the meaning of 19 CFR 351.224(g) because the
all-other's rate decreases from 13.82 percent to 7.24 percent as a
result of correcting this ministerial error, exceeding the specified
threshold, i.e., a change of at least five absolute percentage points

be revised according to the rates calculated in this amended
preliminary determination. Because these amended rates result in
decreased cash deposits, the amended rate for the all-others rate will
