Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the
Act, and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1),
Commerce shall determine, and U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
shall assess, antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries of subject
merchandise in accordance with the
amended final results of this review.
For the GHC and Jilin Bright,
Commerce will calculate importerspecific assessment rates for
antidumping duties, in accordance with
19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). For entries that
were not reported in the U.S. sales
database submitted by the exporter
individually examined during this
review, Commerce will instruct CBP to
liquidate such entries at the China-wide
rate.13 For the respondents that were not
selected for individual examination in
this administrative review but qualified
for a separate rate, the per unit
assessment rate will be the rate
established for these companies in these
amended final results of review.
For the six companies identified in
the appendix to this notice as part of the
China-wide entity, we will instruct CBP
to apply the China-wide per-unit
assessment rate to all entries of subject
merchandise made during the POR
which were exported by those
companies.
Commerce intends to issue
assessment instructions to CBP no
earlier than 35 days after the date of
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
Upon publication of this notice in the
Federal Register the following cash
deposit requirements will be effective
for all shipments of the subject
merchandise from China entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after the publication
date, as provided by section 751(a)(2)(C)
of the Act: (1) the amended cash deposit
rate for GHC and Jilin Bright and the

other companies not individually
examined in this review will be equal to
the weighted-average dumping margin
that is established in the amended final
results of this review, except if the rate
is less than 0.50 percent and, therefore,
de minimis within the meaning of 19
CFR 351.106(c)(1), in which case the
cash deposit rate will be zero; (2) for
previously investigated or reviewed
Chinese and non-Chinese exporters not
listed above or in Appendix I that
received a separate rate in a prior
segment of this proceeding, the cash
deposit rate will continue to be the
existing exporter-specific rate published
for the most recently completed segment
of this proceeding; (3) for all Chinese
exporters of subject merchandise that
have not been found to be entitled to a
separate rate, the cash deposit rate will
be the rate for the China-wide entity
(i.e., 2.42 USD/kg); and (4) for all nonChinese exporters of subject
merchandise that have not received
their own separate rate, the cash deposit
rate will be the rate applicable to the
Chinese exporter that supplied that nonChinese exporter. These deposit
requirements, when imposed, shall
remain in effect until further notice.
Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a final reminder
to importers of their responsibility
under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a
certificate regarding the reimbursement
of antidumping duties prior to
liquidation of the relevant entries
during this review period. Failure to
comply with this requirement could
result in Commerce’s presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties
occurred and the subsequent assessment
of double antidumping duties.
Administrative Protective Order
This notice serves as the final
reminder to parties subject to
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), which
continues to govern business
proprietary information in this segment
of the proceeding. Timely written
notification of return/destruction of
APO materials or conversion to judicial
protective order is hereby requested.
Failure to comply with the regulations
and the terms of an APO is a
sanctionable violation.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing these
amended final results of review in
accordance with sections 751(h) and
777(i) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.224(e).

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of
Commerce (Commerce) is amending the
final results of the administrative review
of the countervailing duty order on
phosphate fertilizers (fertilizers) from
the Kingdom of Morocco (Morocco) to
correct a ministerial error. The period of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
In accordance with section 751(a)(1)
of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended
(the Act), and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5), on
November 7, 2024, Commerce disclosed
its calculations to interested parties and
provided interested parties with the
opportunity to submit ministerial error
comments.1 On November 12, 2024,
OCP S.A. (OCP) submitted an allegation
of a ministerial errors in the Final
Results.2 On November 18, 2024, the
Mosaic Company submitted rebuttal
comments in response to OCP’s
ministerial error allegations.3 On
November 12, 2024, Commerce
published its final results of
administrative review.4
Legal Framework
Section 751(h) of the Act, defines a
‘‘ministerial error’’ as including ‘‘errors
in addition, subtraction, or other
arithmetic function, clerical errors
resulting from inaccurate copying,
duplication, or the like, and any other
unintentional error which the
administering authority considers
ministerial.’’ With respect to final
results of administrative reviews, 19
CFR 351.224(e) provides that Commerce
‘‘will analyze any comments received
and, if appropriate, correct any
ministerial error by amending . . . the
final results of review . . .’’
Ministerial Error
Commerce has determined that one of
the two errors alleged by OCP
constitutes a ministerial error within the
meaning of section 751(h) of the Act and
19 CFR 351.224(f). In its ministerial
error allegations, OCP alleges that, with
regard to the provision of phosphate
mining rights for less than adequate
remuneration (LTAR) program,
Commerce: (1) did not include OCP’s
allocated debt costs in OCP’s total cost
of production when calculating OCP’s
profit for phosphate rock; and (2) should

have calculated a simple average of two
datasets provided by different parties for
a third-market country from the same
business proprietary data source, as
Commerce did with two datasets
provided from the same business
proprietary data source for another
third-market country.5
For the calculation of the simple
average of two datasets, we disagree
with OCP and find that not averaging
the datasets was a methodological
decision and not a ministerial error.
However, Commerce agrees that, in the
Final Results, we did not include the
allocated cost of OCP’s debt in OCP’s
total cost of production when
calculating OCP’s profit to determine
the price OCP paid for phosphate rock
in the provision of phosphate mining
rights for LTAR program as we
intended. Commerce determines that
this constitutes a ministerial error in the
Final Results pursuant to section 751(h)
of the Act and 19 CFR 351.224(f) and is
amending the Final Results with respect
to the phosphate mining rights for LTAR
benefit calculation to correct the
ministerial error in the calculation of
the ad valorem subsidy rate. The revised
net subsidy rate is provided below.
For a complete discussion of the
ministerial error allegations, as well as
Commerce’s analysis, see the
accompanying Ministerial Error
Memorandum.6 The Ministerial Error
Memorandum is a public document and

and Compliance’s Antidumping and

Amended Final Results
As a result of correcting the
ministerial error, we determine that the

injunction has expired (i.e., within 90
days of publication).
Cash Deposit Requirements
In accordance with section 751(a)(1)

CBP to collect cash deposits of
estimated countervailing duties in the
amount shown for OCP on shipments of
the subject merchandise entered, or

information disclosed under APO in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3).
Timely written notification of the
return/destruction of APO materials or
conversion to judicial protective order is

response from any government or
respondent interested party to this
proceeding. On October 31, 2024,
Commerce notified the U.S.
International Trade Commission that it
did not receive an adequate substantive
response from respondent interested
parties.7 As a result, Commerce
conducted an expedited (120-day)
sunset review of the Order, pursuant to
section 751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and 19

Legal Framework
Section 751(h) of the Act, defines a ``ministerial error'' as
including ``errors in addition, subtraction, or other arithmetic
function, clerical errors resulting from inaccurate copying,
duplication, or the like, and any other unintentional error which the
administering authority considers ministerial.'' With respect to final
results of administrative reviews, 19 CFR 351.224(e) provides that
Commerce ``will analyze any comments received and, if appropriate,
correct any ministerial error by amending . . . the final results of
review . . .''
Ministerial Error
Commerce has determined that one of the two errors alleged by OCP
constitutes a ministerial error within the meaning of section 751(h) of
the Act and 19 CFR 351.224(f). In its ministerial error allegations,
OCP alleges that, with regard to the provision of phosphate mining
rights for less than adequate remuneration (LTAR) program, Commerce:
(1) did not include OCP's allocated debt costs in OCP's total cost of
production when calculating OCP's profit for phosphate rock; and (2)
should have calculated a simple average of two datasets provided by
different parties for a third-market country from the same business
proprietary data source, as Commerce did with two datasets provided
from the same business proprietary data source for another third-market
country.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ See generally Ministerial Error Allegations.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
For the calculation of the simple average of two datasets, we
disagree with OCP and find that not averaging the datasets was a
methodological decision and not a ministerial error. However, Commerce
agrees that, in the Final Results, we did not include the allocated
cost of OCP's debt in OCP's total cost of production when calculating
OCP's profit to determine the price OCP paid for phosphate rock in the
provision of phosphate mining rights for LTAR program as we intended.
Commerce determines that this constitutes a ministerial error in the
Final Results pursuant to section 751(h) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.224(f) and is amending the Final Results with respect to the
phosphate mining rights for LTAR benefit calculation to correct the
ministerial error in the calculation of the ad valorem subsidy rate.
The revised net subsidy rate is provided below.
For a complete discussion of the ministerial error allegations, as
well as Commerce's analysis, see the accompanying Ministerial Error
Memorandum.\6\ The Ministerial Error Memorandum is a public document

351.212(b)(2), Commerce has determined, and U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) shall assess, countervailing duties on all appropriate
entries of subject merchandise in accordance with the amended final
results of this review, for the above-listed company at the applicable
ad valorem assessment rate. We intend to issue assessment instructions
to CBP no earlier than 35 days after the date of publication of the
amended final results of this review in the Federal Register. However,
OCP has filed a summons at the U.S. Court of International Trade
challenging the Final Results. Therefore, our 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 intends
to instruct CBP to collect cash deposits of estimated countervailing
duties in the amount shown for OCP on shipments of the subject
merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on or
after the date of publication of the amended final results of this
administrative review. The cash deposit requirement, effective upon the
publication of the amended final results of this review, shall remain
in effect until further notice.
Administrative Protective Order (APO)
This notice also serves as a final reminder to parties subject to
an APO of their responsibility concerning the return or destruction of
proprietary information disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR
351.305(a)(3). Timely written notification of the return/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.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with
sections 751(h) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.224(e).
