India: Preliminary Results of Countervailing Duty Administrative
Review; 2019, 86 FR 26903 (May 18, 2021) (Preliminary Results), and

\2\ See Memorandum, ``Issues and Decision Memorandum for the
Final Results of the 2019 Administrative Review of the
Countervailing Duty Order on Fine Denier Polyester Staple Fiber from
India,'' dated concurrently, and hereby adopted by, this notice
(Issues and Decision Memorandum).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scope of the Order
The merchandise covered by this order is fine denier polyester
staple fiber (fine denier PSF). For a complete description of the scope
of this order, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum.
Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised in the interested parties' case and rebuttal
briefs are addressed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum. Based on
our analysis of the comments received from interested parties and
record information, we revised the prohibited subsidy rate calculated
for Reliance.
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.\3\ For a description of the methodology underlying Commerce's
conclusions, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ 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(5)(A) of the Act regarding specificity.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Final Results of the Administrative Review
In accordance with section 751(a)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.221(B)(5), we find the net countervailable subsidy rate for the POR
January 1, 2019, through December 31, 2019 to be as follows:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Subsidy rate
Company (percent ad
valorem)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Reliance Industries Limited............................ 4.89
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Assessment and Cash Deposit Requirements
In accordance with section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.212(b)(2), Commerce shall determine, and U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) shall assess, countervailing duties on all appropriate
entries covered by this review. Commerce intends to issue appropriate
assessment instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days after the date
of this 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).
In accordance with section 751(a)(1) of the Act, we also intend to
instruct
[[Page 50048]]
CBP to collect cash deposits of estimated countervailing duties in the
amount shown above. For all non-reviewed firms, CBP will continue to
collect cash deposits of estimated countervailing duties at the most
recent company-specific or all-others rate applicable to the company,
as appropriate. These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall
remain in effect until further notice.
Disclosure
Commerce intends to disclose the calculations and analysis
performed for these final results to interested parties within five
days of the date of publication of this notice in the Federal
Register.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ See 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 315.305(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 the terms of an APO is a sanctionable
violation.
