SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Commerce published the Final Results of this review on June 30,
2022.\1\ On June 30, 2022, we also received timely submitted
ministerial error comments from the petitioner.\2\ We are amending the
Final Results to correct the ministerial errors raised by the

Final Results of Countervailing Duty Administrative Review; 2020, 87
FR 39063 (June 30, 2022) (Final Results).
\2\ See Petitioner's Letter, ``Truck and Bus Tires from the
People's Republic of China: Ministerial Error Comments,'' dated June
30, 2022. The petitioner is United Steel, Paper and Forestry,
Rubber, Manufacturing, Energy, Allied Industrial and Service Workers
Union, AFL-CIO.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Legal Framework
A ministerial error, as defined in section 751(h) of the Tariff Act
of 1930, as amended (the Act), includes ``errors in addition,
subtraction, or other arithmetic function, clerical errors resulting
from inaccurate copying, duplication, or the like, and any other type
of unintentional error which the administering authority considers
ministerial.'' \3\ 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 . . . .''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ See 19 CFR 351.224(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ministerial Error
Commerce determines that, in accordance with section 751(h) of the
Act and 19 CFR 351.224(f), it made ministerial errors in the Final
Results. Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.224(e), Commerce is amending the Final
Results to reflect the correction of these ministerial errors in the
calculation of Qingdao Ge Rui Da Rubber Co., Ltd.'s (GRT's)
countervailable subsidy rate, which changes from 16.76 percent to 17.48
percent. For a detailed discussion of Commerce's analysis, see the
Ministerial Error Memorandum and Amended Analysis Memorandum.\4\ As a
result of this change, the rate for the non-selected companies under
review also changes from 16.85 percent to 17.51 percent.\5\
