Trade mission delegates will meet with Government of Philippines officials in Manila to learn more about business development incentives and to discuss regulatory reforms.

Changes Since the Preliminary Results Based on comments received from interested parties and issues originating from verification, we are applying total adverse facts available (AFA) to Gentile for the final results of this review. For a discussion of the issues, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum. 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.6 For a full description of the methodology underlying all of Commerce’s conclusions, including our reliance, on facts otherwise available, including AFA, pursuant to sections 776(a) and (b) of the Act, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum. Final Results of the Administrative Review As a result of this review, we determine that the following estimated countervailable subsidy rates exist for the period January 1, 2021, through December 31, 2021: 3383 individual examination where 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 allothers rate in an investigation. Section 705(c)(5)(A)(i) of the Act instructs Commerce, as a general rule, to calculate an all-others rate equal to the weighted average of the countervailable subsidy rates established for exporters and/or producers individually examined, excluding any rates that are zero, de minimis, or based entirely on facts available. In this review, the final rate for Gentile, the sole mandatory respondent, was based entirely on facts available. Accordingly, under ‘‘any reasonable method,’’ we have selected the rate calculated in the most recently completed administrative review as the rate to be applied for Sgambaro, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum at Comment 3. Cash Deposit Requirements In accordance with section 751(a)(1) of the Act, Commerce intends to instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (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.

    Based on comments received from interested parties and issues 
originating from verification, we are applying total adverse facts 
available (AFA) to Gentile for the final results of this review. For a 
discussion of the issues, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum.

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.\6\ For a full description of the methodology underlying all 
of Commerce's conclusions, including our reliance, on facts otherwise 
available, including AFA, pursuant to sections 776(a) and (b) of the 
Act, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum.

    \6\ See sections 771(5)(B) and (D) of the Act regarding

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Final Rate for Non-Selected Company Under Review

    There is one company, Sgambaro, for which a review was requested 
and not rescinded, and which was not selected as a mandatory respondent 
or found to be cross-owned with the mandatory respondent. The statute 
and Commerce's regulations do not directly address the establishment of 
rates to be applied to companies not selected for individual 
examination where 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 all-others rate in an investigation.
    Section 705(c)(5)(A)(i) of the Act instructs Commerce, as a general 
rule, to calculate an all-others rate equal to the weighted average of 
the countervailable subsidy rates established for exporters and/or 
producers individually examined, excluding any rates that are zero, de 
minimis, or based entirely on facts available. In this review, the 
final rate for Gentile, the sole mandatory respondent, was based 
entirely on facts available. Accordingly, under ``any reasonable 
method,'' we have selected the rate calculated in the most recently 
completed administrative review as the rate to be applied for Sgambaro, 
see the Issues and Decision Memorandum at Comment 3.

Cash Deposit Requirements

    In accordance with section 751(a)(1) of the Act, Commerce intends 
to instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to collect cash 
deposits of estimated countervailing duties in the amounts shown above 
for the above-listed 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. These 
cash deposit requirements, effective upon publication of these final 
results, shall remain in effect until further notice.

Assessment Rates

    In accordance with section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR 
351.212(b)(2), Commerce shall determine, and CBP shall assess, 
countervailing duties at the applicable ad valorem rates on all 
appropriate entries covered by this review. 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).

Disclosure

    Commerce intends to disclose our AFA calculations performed for the

[[Page 3384]]

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).

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). Timely written 
notification of the return or destruction of APO materials or 
conversion to judicial protective order, is hereby requested. Failure 
to comply with the regulations and terms of an APO is a sanctionable 
violation.

sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5).
