Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 81 / Thursday, April 25, 2024 / Notices
calculated a countervailable subsidy
rate attributable to Santa Priscila under
both the Priority Sectors program and
the Investment Contract program that
should have only been calculated
pursuant to one program, i.e., the
Priority Sectors Program.9 Commerce
finds that these ministerial errors are
significant ministerial errors within the
meaning of 19 CFR 351.224(g) because
correction of these errors decreases
Santa Priscila’s countervailing subsidy
rate from 13.41 to 2.89 percent, which
is a change that is at least five absolute
percentage points in, and more than 25
percent of, the subsidy rate calculated
for Santa Priscila in the original
Preliminary Determination.
Furthermore, in the Preliminary
Determination, we calculated a 1.69
percent subsidy rate for SONGA and
indicated that we will instruct U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to
require a cash deposit equal to that rate.
Section 703(b)(4)(B) of the Act, provides
that Commerce will apply a de minimis
threshold of two percent to a country
designated by the United States Trade
Representative (USTR) as a developing
country for purposes of the CVD law.10
Ecuador is designated as a developing
country by the USTR under CVD law
and is subject to a de minimis standard
of two percent.11 As stated by SONGA
and the GOE,12 we inadvertently did not
designate the preliminary ad valorem
subsidy rate assigned to SONGA as de
minimis as stipulated by section
703(b)(4)(B) of the Act. Therefore, for
SONGA, we will not direct CBP to
suspend liquidation of entries of the
subject merchandise from Ecuador, in
accordance with section 703(b)(4)(B) of
the Act.
In addition, as a result of this
inadvertent error and as stipulated by
section 705(c)(5)(A) of the Act, we are
correcting the all-others rate to equal the
amended preliminary CVD rate
established for Santa Priscila, i.e., 2.89
percent ad valorem, as this is the only
rate that is not zero, de minimis, or
based entirely on the facts otherwise
available.
Also, we listed an incorrect name for
one of Santa Priscila’s cross-owned
companies, i.e., Tropical Packing
Ecuador S.A.13 Moreover, we
inadvertently stated ‘‘aluminum
extrusions from Indonesia’’ in the ITC
Notification section of the original
notice.14

alleged ministerial errors, see the
Preliminary Ministerial Error
Memorandum.

Correction
In the Federal Register of April 1,
2024, in FR Doc 2024–06845, on page
22380, in the third column, correct the
Subsidy Rate (percent ad valorem) for
Sociedad Nacional de Galapagos C.A.
and All Others, as found in the rate
table, to 1.69 de minimis and 2.89,
respectively, and correct the name
‘‘Tropack S.A.’’ as found under footnote
9 to ‘‘Tropical Packing Ecuador S.A.’’
Additionally, in FR Doc 2024–06845, on
page 22380, in the third column, second
paragraph, include ‘‘As provided for in
section 703(b)(4)(B) of the Act, for
developing countries, any rate less than
two percent ad valorem in an
investigation is de minimis.
Accordingly, for SONGA, we will not
direct CBP to suspend liquidation of
entries of subject merchandise’’ before
the sentence stating, ‘‘Further, pursuant
to 19 CFR 351.205(d), Commerce will
instruct CBP to require a cash deposit
equal to the rates indicated above.’’
Additionally, in FR Doc 2024–06845, on
page 22381, in the second column,
correct ‘‘aluminum extrusions from
Indonesia’’ to ‘‘shrimp from Ecuador.’’

preliminary determination.
The collection of cash deposits and

result in decreased cash deposits, they
will be effective retroactively to April 1,

Docket Number: 24–009. Applicant:
The Regents of the University of
Michigan, 5082 Wolverine Tower, 3003
South State Street, Ann Arbor, MI
48109–1287. Instrument: Formula
Student Motor and Motor Controllers.
Manufacturer: AMK Motion GmbH +
CoKG, Germany. Intended Use: The
instrument is intended to be used to
teach current engineering students at
the University of Michigan about
vehicle integration, design, and
dynamics. This is taught to students
through participation in the national
wide intercollegiate Formula SAE
competitions. This motor is a critical
component in the electric powertrain of
the vehicle as each motor will
independently control each wheel of the
car. These specific motors from AMK
allow our team to learn the
fundamentals of such a process without
having to design and manufacture our
motors and motor controllers, which is
a far more expensive, time-consuming,
and knowledge-heavy process.
Justification for Duty-Free Entry:
According to the applicant, there are no
instruments of the same general
category manufactured in the United
States. Application accepted by
Commissioner of Customs: January 3,
2024.
