Extension of Time Limits Regulation
Parties may request an extension of
time limits before a time limit
established under Part 351 expires, or as
otherwise specified by Commerce.10 In
general, an extension request will be
considered untimely if it is filed after
the time limit established under Part
351 expires. For submissions which are
due from multiple parties
simultaneously, an extension request
will be considered untimely if it is filed
after 10:00 a.m. on the due date.
Examples include, but are not limited
to: (1) Case and rebuttal briefs, filed
pursuant to 19 CFR 351.309; (2) factual
information to value factors under 19
CFR 351.408(c), or to measure the
adequacy of remuneration under 19 CFR
351.511(a)(2), filed pursuant to 19 CFR
351.301(c)(3) and rebuttal, clarification
and correction filed pursuant to 19 CFR
351.301(c)(3)(iv); (3) comments
concerning the selection of a surrogate
country and surrogate values and
rebuttal; (4) comments concerning CBP
data; and (5) Q&V questionnaires. Under
certain circumstances, Commerce may
elect to specify a different time limit by
which extension requests will be
considered untimely for submissions
which are due from multiple parties
simultaneously. In such a case,
Commerce will inform parties in the
letter or memorandum setting forth the
deadline (including a specified time) by
which extension requests must be filed
to be considered timely. This policy also
requires that an extension request must
be made in a separate, stand-alone
submission, and clarifies the
circumstances under which Commerce
will grant untimely-filed requests for the
extension of time limits. Please review

Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised in the interested
parties’ case and rebuttal briefs are
addressed in the Issues and Decision
Memorandum. Based on our analysis of
the comments received from interested
parties and record information, we
revised the prohibited subsidy rate
calculated for Reliance.
Methodology
Commerce conducted this
administrative 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.3 For a description of
the methodology underlying
Commerce’s conclusions, see the Issues
and Decision Memorandum.
Final Results of the Administrative
Review
In accordance with section 751(a)(1)
of the Act and 19 CFR 351.221(B)(5), we
find the net countervailable subsidy rate
for the POR January 1, 2019, through
December 31, 2019 to be as follows:
Company
Subsidy rate
(percent ad
valorem)
Reliance Industries Limited ..
4.89
Assessment and Cash Deposit
Requirements
In accordance with section
751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.212(b)(2), Commerce shall
determine, and U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (CBP) shall assess,
countervailing duties on all appropriate
entries covered by this review.
Commerce intends to issue appropriate
assessment instructions to CBP no
earlier than 35 days after the date of this
publication of the final results of this
review in the Federal Register. If a
timely summons is filed at the U.S.
Court of International Trade, the
assessment instructions will direct CBP
not to liquidate relevant entries until the
time for parties to file a request for a
statutory injunction has expired (i.e.,
within 90 days of publication).
In accordance with section 751(a)(1)
of the Act, we also intend to instruct
3 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(5)(A)
of the Act regarding specificity.

these final results to interested parties

determined that Norma (India) Limited; USK

collapsed and treated as a single entity (the Norma
Group). See Finished Carbon Steel Flanges from

determination has not changed. See Norma Group’s
Letter, ‘‘Finished Carbon Steel Flanges from India:
Response to Section A–D of Antidumping Duty
Supplemental Questionnaire,’’ dated August 11,
