For a complete description of the scope of this investigation, see Appendix I. Methodology Commerce is conducting this investigation in accordance with section 701 of the Act. For each of the subsidy programs found countervailable, Commerce 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.4 Commerce notes that, in making these findings, it relied, in part, on facts available and, because it finds that the Government of India did not act to the best of its ability to respond to Commerce’s requests for information, Commerce has drawn an adverse inference where appropriate in selecting from among the facts otherwise available.5 For a full description of the methodology underlying our preliminary 1 See Certain Non-Refillable Steel Cylinders from India: Initiation of Countervailing Duty Investigation, 88 FR 33580 (May 24, 2023) (Initiation Notice). 2 See Certain Non-Refillable Steel Cylinders from India: Postponement of Preliminary Determination in the Countervailing Duty Investigation, 88 FR 43295 (July 7, 2023). 3 See Memorandum, ‘‘Decision Memorandum for the Preliminary Affirmative Determination in the Countervailing Duty Investigation of Certain NonRefillable Steel Cylinders from India,’’ dated concurrently with, and hereby adopted by, this notice (Preliminary Decision Memorandum). 4 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(5A) of the Act regarding specificity. 5 See sections 776(a) and (b) of the Act.
