SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
United States Investment Advisory
Council (IAC) is established in
accordance with the provisions of the
Federal Advisory Committee Act, as
amended, 5 U.S.C. 1001 et seq., to
advise the Secretary of Commerce
(Secretary) on matters relating to the
promotion and retention of foreign
direct investment in the United States
(FDI).
SelectUSA is accepting applications
for membership on the IAC for a twoyear term. The IAC functions solely as
an advisory committee. The IAC shall
advise the Secretary on U.S. government
policies and programs that affect FDI;
identify and recommend programs and
policies to help the United States attract
and retain FDI; and recommend ways to
support the position of the United States
as the world’s preeminent destination
for FDI. The IAC shall report to the
Secretary on its activities and
recommendations regarding FDI. In
creating its reports, the IAC should
survey and evaluate the investment and
investment-facilitating activities of
stakeholders, should identify and
examine specific problems facing
potential foreign investors, and should
examine the needs of stakeholders to
inform the IAC’s efforts. The IAC should
recommend specific solutions to the
problems and needs that it identifies.
The IAC shall consist of no more than
forty members appointed by the
Secretary. Members shall represent
companies and organizations investing,
seeking to invest, seeking foreign
investors, or facilitating investment
across many sectors, including but not
limited to:
U.S.-incorporated companies that are
majority-owned by foreign companies or

by a foreign individual or individuals,
or that generate significant foreign direct
investment (e.g., through their supply
chains); U.S. companies or entities
whose business includes FDI-related
activities or the facilitation of FDI; U.S.
incorporated companies, regardless of
ownership, that are considering
expanding their operations in the
United States or transferring to the
United States operations that are
currently being conducted overseas; and
Economic development organizations
and other U.S. governmental and nongovernmental organizations and
associations whose missions or
activities include the promotion or
facilitation of FDI.
Members shall be selected based on
their ability to carry out the objectives
of the IAC, in accordance with
applicable Department of Commerce
guidelines, in a manner that ensures
that the IAC is balanced in terms of
points of view, industry subsector,
organization type, geography of the
source and the destination of the FDI,
and company size. Members shall also
represent a broad range of products and
services and shall be drawn from large,
medium, and small enterprises, privatesector organizations involved in
investment, and other investmentrelated entities including nongovernmental organizations,
associations, and economic
development organizations. The diverse
membership of the IAC assures
perspectives reflecting the breadth of
the IAC’s responsibilities, and, where
possible, the Department of Commerce
will also consider the ethnic, racial, and
gender diversity and various abilities of
the United States population.
Priority may be given to executives
(Chief Executive Officer, Executive
Chairman, President, or comparable
level of responsibility).
Members shall serve in a
representative capacity, representing the
views and interests of their sponsoring
entity and its particular sector (if
applicable). Members are not special
government employees and will receive
no compensation for their participation
in IAC activities. Members will not be
reimbursed for travel expenses related
to IAC activities. Appointments to the
IAC shall be made without regard to
political affiliation. Because the IAC
will advise the Secretary on U.S.
international competitiveness in
attracting and retaining FDI, each
member must be a U.S. citizen or
permanent resident.
Each member shall be appointed for a
term of two years and will serve at the
pleasure of the Secretary. The Secretary
may at his/her discretion reappoint any
PO 00000

member to an additional term or terms,
provided that the member proves to
work effectively on the IAC and that
his/her knowledge and advice is still
needed. The IAC will meet a minimum
of two times a year with, to the extent
practical, additional meetings called at
the discretion of the Secretary or his/her
designee. Meetings will be held in
Washington, DC or elsewhere in the
United States, or by teleconference, as
feasible. Members are expected to attend
a majority of IAC meetings.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On January 31, 2023, we received a
timely request for an administrative
review from the petitioner 1 and BGH.2
On March 14, 2023, Commerce
published a notice of initiation of an
administrative review of the
countervailing duty (CVD) order on
fluid end blocks from Germany.3 On
April 20, 2023, we selected BGH and
Schmiedewerke Gro¨ditz GmbH (SWG)
as mandatory respondents in this
administrative review.4 On September
27, 2023, Commerce extended the
deadline for the preliminary results of
this review until January 31, 2024.5
For a complete description of the
events that followed the initiation of
this review, see the Preliminary
Decision Memorandum.6 A list of topics
discussed in the Preliminary Decision
Memorandum is included as an
appendix to this notice. The Preliminary
Decision Memorandum is a public
document and is on file electronically
via Enforcement and Compliance’s
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Centralized Electronic Service System
(ACCESS). ACCESS is available to
registered users at https://
access.trade.gov. In addition, a complete

Memorandum can be accessed directly

Scope of the Order
The products covered by the Order
are fluid end blocks from Germany. For
a complete description of the scope of
the Order, see the Preliminary Decision
Memorandum.
Rescission of Administrative Review, in
Part
On April 28, 2023, the petitioner
timely withdrew its requests for an
administrative review with respect to
Schmiedewerke Gro¨ditz GmbH (SWG),
voestalpine Bohler Welding Group
GmbH (VBG), Buderus Edelstahl GmbH
(Buderus), Deutsche Edelstahlwerke
GmbH (Edelstahlwerke), and
Saarschmiede GmbH FreiformSchmiede
(SSF).7 On May 3, 2023, Commerce
notified interested parties that it had
suspended the questionnaire response
deadlines for SWG based on the
petitioners’ timely withdrawal of its
requests for an administrative review
with respect to all companies except for
BGH.8 As no other party requested a
review of the above-referenced five
companies, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.213(d)(1), we are rescinding this
administrative review with respect to
SWG, VBG, Buderus, Edelstahlwerke,
and SSF. For additional information
regarding this determination, see the
Preliminary Decision Memorandum.
Methodology
Commerce is conducting this CVD
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 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.9 For a full
description of the methodology
underlying our conclusions, see the
Preliminary Decision Memorandum.
Preliminary Results of Review
As a result of this review, we
preliminarily determine the following
net countervailable subsidy rate for the
POR January 1, 2022, through December
31, 2022:
7 See Petitioner’s Letter, ‘‘Petitioners’ Withdrawal
of Request for 2022 Administrative Review for
Certain Entities,’’ dated April 28, 2023.
8 See Memorandum, ‘‘Suspension of
Questionnaire Response Deadline,’’ dated May 3,
2023.
9 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.
