Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on the comments received from interested parties, we made no
changes to our subsidy rate calculations in the Preliminary Results.
For a discussion of these issues, see the Issues and Decision
Memorandum.
Methodology
Commerce conducted this 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.\5\ The Issues and Decision Memorandum contains a full
description of the methodology underlying Commerce's conclusions,
including any determination that relied upon the use of adverse facts
available (AFA) pursuant to sections 776(a) and (b) of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Final Results of Administrative Review
In accordance with 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5), we calculated a
countervailable subsidy rate for the producer/exporter under review for
the period of January 1, 2018, through December 31, 2018 as follows:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Subsidy rate
Company (percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yama Ribbons and Bows Co., Ltd......................... 42.20
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Assessment Rates
Consistent with section 751(a)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.212(b)(2), upon
[[Page 40463]]
completion of the administrative review, Commerce shall determine, and
CBP shall assess, countervailing duties on all appropriate entries
covered by this review. 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 Instructions
In accordance with section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act, Commerce also
intends to instruct CBP to collect cash deposits of estimated
countervailing duties in the amount shown above for Yama, on shipments
of subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after the date of publication of the final results of
this review. For all non-reviewed firms, Commerce will instruct CBP to
continue to collect cash deposits at the most recent company-specific
or all-others rate applicable to the company, as appropriate.
Accordingly, the cash deposit requirements that will be applied to
companies covered by this order, but not examined in this
administrative review, are those established in the most recently
completed segment of the proceeding for each company. These cash
deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until
further notice.
Administrative Protective Orders
This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the destruction 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.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing these results in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5).
Dated: July 22, 2021.

Acting Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
