Floor-Standing, Metal-Top Ironing Tables and Certain Parts Thereof From the People's Republic of China: Final Results of Changed Circumstances Review and Continuation of the Order, 24166-24167 [2023-08232]

Download as PDF 24166 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 75 / Wednesday, April 19, 2023 / Notices companies not selected for individual examination when Commerce limits its examination in an administrative review pursuant to section 777A(e)(2) of the Act. However, Commerce normally determines the rates for non-selected companies in reviews in a manner that is consistent with section 705(c)(5) of the Act, which provides the basis for calculating the all-others rate in an investigation. Section 705(c)(5)(A)(i) of the Act instructs Commerce, as a general rule, to calculate the all-others rate equal to the weighted average of the countervailable subsidy rates established for exporters and producers individually investigated, excluding any zero or de minimis countervailable subsidy rates, and any rates determined entirely on the basis of facts available. There are two companies for which a review was requested and not rescinded, and which were not selected as mandatory respondents or found to be cross-owned with a mandatory respondent. For these non-selected companies, because the rate calculated for the only participating mandatory respondent in this review, Ningbo Master, was above de minimis and not based entirely on facts available, we are applying Ningbo Master’s subsidy rate to the two non-selected companies. This is the same methodology Commerce applied in the Preliminary Results for determining a rate for companies not selected for individual examination. However, due to changes in the calculation for Ningbo Master, we revised the non-selected rate accordingly. Consequently, for both of the non-selected companies for which a review was requested and not rescinded, we are applying an ad valorem subsidy rate of 5.22 percent. Final Results of Administrative Review We determine find the net countervailable subsidy rates for the mandatory and non-selected respondents under review for the period January 1, 2020, through December 31, 2020, to be as follows: lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1 Producer or exporter Subsidy rate (percent ad valorem) Ningbo Master International Trade Co., Ltd 5 .................

Subsidy rate (percent ad valorem) 5.22 Disclosure Commerce intends to disclose calculations and analysis performed for the final results of review within five days after the date of publication of this notice in the Federal Register in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). Assessment Requirements In accordance with section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(2), Commerce has determined, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, countervailing duties on all appropriate entries covered by this review, for the above-listed companies at the applicable ad valorem assessment rates listed. Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days after 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). Cash Deposit Requirements In accordance with section 751(a)(1) of the Act, Commerce also intends to instruct CBP to collect cash deposits of estimated countervailing duties in the amounts shown above for the abovelisted companies with regard to shipments of subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of publication of these final results of review. For all non-reviewed firms, we will instruct CBP to continue to collect cash deposits of estimated countervailing duties at the all-others rate or the most recent company-specific rate applicable to the company, as appropriate. These cash deposit requirements, effective upon publication of these final results, shall remain in effect until further notice. Administrative Protective Order This notice also serves as a final reminder to parties subject to an 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).
