For each of the subsidy programs found to be 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.5 For a full description of the methodology underlying all of Commerce’s conclusions, including our reliance, in part, on facts otherwise available, including adverse facts available, pursuant to sections 776(a) and (b) of the Act, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum. Non-Selected Companies’ Rate Commerce made no changes to the methodology from the Preliminary Results for determining a rate for companies not selected for individual examination. However, due to changes in the calculation for SRH, we revised the non-selected rate accordingly.
