Analysis of Comments Received

All issues raised in the parties' briefs are addressed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum, dated concurrently with this notice, and which is hereby adopted by this notice. A list of the issues raised is attached to this notice at Appendix I.^[8] The Issues and Decision Memorandum is a public document and is on file electronically via Enforcement and Compliance's Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service System (ACCESS). ACCESS is available to registered users at http://access.trade.gov;​; the Issues and Decision Memorandum is available to all parties in the Central Records Unit (CRU), Room B8024 of the main Department of Commerce building. In addition, a complete version of the Issues and Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly at http://enforcement.trade.gov/​frn/​. The signed and electronic versions of the Issues and Decision Memorandum are identical in content.

Methodology

The Department 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.^[9] For a full description of the methodology underlying all of the Department's conclusions, including our reliance, in part, on adverse facts available pursuant to sections 776(a) and (b) of the Act, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum.

Partial Rescission of Review

For those companies named in the Initiation Notice ^[10] for which all review requests have been timely withdrawn, we are rescinding this administrative review in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1). These companies are listed at Appendix II to this notice. For these companies, countervailing duties shall be assessed at rates equal to the rates of the cash deposits for estimated countervailing duties required at the time of entry, or withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption, during the POR, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(c)(2).

Also, between August 1, 2014 and September 5, 2014, the Department received timely no-shipment certifications from certain companies. The Department confirmed with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) that these companies did not ship merchandise to the United States during this review period.^[11] However, these no-shipment companies were also included in the Petitioner's timely withdrawal request, and because no party other than the Petitioner requested a review of the no-shipment companies, the Department is rescinding the administrative review of these companies pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1).

Rate for Non-Selected Companies Under Review

There are 38 companies for which a review was requested and not rescinded, but were not selected as mandatory respondents. For these companies, we calculated the non-selected rate using a methodology of weight-averaging the rates of the Guang Ya Group and Jangho Group based on their publicly-ranged sales data for the POR because basing a weighted-average on their proprietary sales data for the POR risks disclosure of proprietary information. For further information on the calculation of the non-selected rate, refer to the section in the Issues and Decision Memorandum entitled, “Final Ad Valorem Rate for Non-Selected Companies Under Review.”

For those companies that failed to respond to the Department's quantity and value questionnaire, we have relied on facts available, determined that those companies are non-cooperative and, on that basis, found that the application of adverse facts available is warranted in determining the net countervailable subsidy rate for those companies. For further discussion of this determination, refer to the section in the Issues and Decision Memorandum entitled, “Use of Facts Otherwise Available and Adverse Inferences.”

Assessment Rates

The Department intends to issue appropriate assessment instructions directly to CBP 15 days after publication of these final results of review, to liquidate shipments of subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after January 1, 2013, through December 31, 2013, at the ad valorem rates listed above.

For all non-reviewed firms, we will instruct CBP to collect cash deposits of estimated countervailing duties 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 Order

This notice serves as a 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). Timely written notification of return or 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.

We are issuing and publishing these results in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

Dated: December 7, 2015.

Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
