For each of the subsidy programs found to be 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.8 Commerce notes that, in making these findings, it relied, in part, on facts available and, because it finds that one respondent, and also (in certain instances) the Government of India, did not act to the best of their ability to respond to Commerce’s requests for information. Consequently, Commerce has drawn an adverse inference where appropriate in selecting from among the facts otherwise available.9 For further information, see the ‘‘Use of Facts Otherwise Available and Adverse Inferences’’ section in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. 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), Commerce is aligning the final CVD determination in this investigation with the final 5 See Initiation Notice, 87 FR at 67448.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    Commerce published the preliminary results of this administrative 
review on November 16, 2022.\1\ We invited interested parties to 
comment on the Preliminary Results.\2\ No party submitted comments. 
Accordingly, the final results are unchanged from the Preliminary 
Results. Commerce conducted this administrative review in accordance

Preliminary Results.\4\

    \4\ See Preliminary Results PDM at 3.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Final Results of Administrative Review

    We received no comments concerning, and we have made no changes to, 
the Preliminary Results. We continue to find that Alcha,\5\ the only 
entity subject to this review, did not demonstrate its eligibility for 
a separate rate. Therefore, for these final results, we determine that 
Alcha is part of the China-wide entity.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ Commerce previously determined that the following companies 
should be treated as a single entity: Alcha International); Jiangsu 
Alcha; and Baotou Alcha. Additionally, Commerce previously 
determined that Jiangsu Alcha Aluminum Group Co., Ltd is the 
successor-in-interest to Jiangsu Alcha. See Common Alloy Aluminum 
Sheet from the People's Republic of China: Final Results of 
Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, Final Successor-In-Interest 
Determination, and Final Determination of No Shipments; 2018-2020,

Republic of China: Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative 
Review; 2020-2021; Correction, 87 FR 59059 (September 29, 2022). 
Accordingly, we are treating the single entity of Alcha 
International, Jiangsu Alcha, and Baotou Alcha (collectively, Alcha) 
as the companies under review in this proceeding.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Because no party requested a review of the China-wide entity, and 
we did not self-initiate a review, the China-wide entity rate (i.e., 
59.72 percent) \6\ is not subject to change as a result of this review.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ See Order.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Assessment Rates

    Commerce will determine, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
(CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries 
covered by this review in accordance with section 751(a)(2)(C) of the 
Act. For Alcha, we will instruct CBP to apply the China-wide rate of 
59.72 percent to all entries of subject merchandise during the POR. 
Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier 
than 35 days after the date of 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).

notice, as provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) for 
previously investigated or reviewed Chinese and non-Chinese exporters 
that are not under review in this segment of the proceeding but have 
separate rates, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the 
exporter's existing cash deposit rate; (2) for all Chinese exporters of 
subject merchandise that do not have a separate rate, including Alcha, 
the cash deposit rate will be the China-wide rate of 59.72 percent; and 
(3) for all non-Chinese exporters of subject merchandise that do not

responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate 
regarding the reimbursement of antidumping and/or countervailing duties

to comply with this requirement could result in Commerce's presumption

and the subsequent assessment of double antidumping duties, and/or an 
increase in the amount of antidumping duties by the amount of the 
countervailing duties.

Administrative Protective Order

an administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility

to govern business proprietary information in this segment of the 
proceeding. Timely written notification of the return or destruction of 
APO materials, or conversion to judicial protective order, is hereby
