Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on our review and analysis of the comments received from
parties, we made certain changes to the subsidy rate calculations for
Goodluck and TII. For a discussion of these comments, see the Issues
and Decision Memorandum.
Methodology
Commerce is conducting this review in accordance with section
751(a)(l)(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 financial contribution from a government or public
entity that gives rise to a benefit to the recipient, and the subsidy
is specific.\3\ For a full description of the methodology underlying
our 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(5A) of the Act regarding specificity.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Final Results of Administrative Review
In accordance with section 751(a)(1)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.221(b)(5), we determine the total estimated net countervailable
subsidy rates for the period January 1, 2019, through December 31,
2019, to be as follows:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Subsidy
rate
Company (percent

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

date of publication of this notice in the Federal Register.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ See 19 CFR 351.224(b).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Assessment Rate
Consistent with section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act, upon issuance of
the final results, 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 publication of these final results. 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
Pursuant to section 751(a)(1) of the Act, Commerce intends to
instruct CBP to collect cash deposits of estimated countervailing
duties in the amounts indicated above with regard to 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, 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 instructions, when imposed, shall
remain in effect until further notice.
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 return or destruction 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
proceeding. 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 violation which is subject to sanction.
Notification to Interested Parties
These final results are issued and published in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5).
Dated: December 6, 2021.
