    The subject merchandise entered as parts of other aluminum products may be classifiable under the following additional Chapter 76 subheadings: 7610.10, 7610.90, 7615.19, 7615.20, and 7616.99, as well as under other HTSUS chapters. In addition, fin evaporator coils may be classifiable under HTSUS numbers: 8418.99.80.50 and 8418.99.80.60. While HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and customs purposes, the written description of the scope of this Order is dispositive.[5]

    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 program identified as bestowing a countervailable subsidy, we preliminarily find that there is a government-provided financial contribution by an “authority” that gives rise to a benefit to the recipient, and that the subsidy is specific.[6] For a full description of the methodology underlying all of the Department's conclusions, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.[7] A list of topics discussed in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum is included as Appendix I to this notice. The Preliminary 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,, and is available to all parties in the Central Records Unit, room B8024 of the main Department of Commerce building. In addition, a complete version of the Preliminary Decision Memorandum can be access directly at http://enforcement.trade.gov/​frn/​. The signed Preliminary Decision Memorandum and the electronic version of the Preliminary Decision Memorandum are identical in content.

    Preliminary Rate for Non-Selected Companies Under Review

    As stated in the Initiation Notice, the Department issued quantity and value (Q&V) questionnaires based on import Start Printed Page 38139values in the CBP data to select respondents for individual examination.[8] The Department received timely responses from each company to which it issued Q&V questionnaires, including pro se companies, required to submit such responses. For further discussion of this determination, refer to the section in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum entitled, “Background.”

    Between July 1, 2015 and August 1, 2015, the Department received timely no-shipment certifications from certain companies. Because there is no evidence on the record to indicate that these companies had entries of subject merchandise during the POR, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), we preliminarily intend to rescind the review with respect to these companies. These companies are listed in Appendix II to this notice. A final decision regarding whether to rescind the review of these companies will be issued with the final results of this review.

    Additionally, for those companies named in the Initiation Notice for which all review requests have been timely withdrawn, we preliminarily intend to rescind this administrative review in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1). These companies are listed at Appendix II to this notice. A final decision regarding whether to rescind the review of these companies will be issued with the final results of review.

    There are 43 companies for which a review was requested and not rescinded, but were not selected as mandatory respondents. We preliminarily did not calculate the non-selected rate using a methodology of weight-averaging the rates of Jangho and Zhongya because the preliminary subsidy rate for Zhongya is based on total AFA. Instead, we preliminarily based the non-selected rate on Jangho's subsidy rate. For further information, refer to the section in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum entitled, “Ad Valorem Rate for Non-Selected Companies Under Review.”

    2.  For purposes of this administrative review, “Jangho” refers to the cross-owned entity consisting of the following members and affiliates of the Jangho Group: Guangzhou Jangho Curtain Wall System Engineering Co., Ltd. (Guangzhou Jangho); Guangzhou Jangho's parent company, Jangho Group Co., Ltd. (Jangho Group Company); Jangho Group Company's corporate parent, Beijing Jiangheyuan Holding Com., Ltd. (Beijing Jiangheyuan), and Jangho Group Company's producer subsidiaries, Beijing Jangho Curtain Wall System Engineering Co., Ltd. (Beijing Jangho); Shanghai Jangho Curtain Wall System Engineering Co., Ltd. (Shanghai Jangho), and Chengdu Jangho Curtain Wall System Engineering Co., Ltd. (Chengdu Jangho). As stated above, we have used “Jangho” to refer to the cross-owned entity, the entity to which we will assign a subsidy rate. See “Preliminary Results of Administrative Review,” below. We have used “the Jangho Group” and “Jangho Group” to refer to the corporate group consisting of Jangho Group Company and its subsidiaries (i.e., not including Beijing Jiangheyuan and Jangho Group Company's other corporate parent, Xinjiang Jianghe Huizhong Equity Investment Limited Partnership (Jianghe Huizhong). We have used “the Jangho companies,” to refer to the members of the Jangho Group as well as Beijing Jiangheyuan and Jianghe Huizhong. Further, Jangho Curtain Wall Hong Kong Ltd. (Jangho HK) is an affiliated Hong Kong reseller/trading company and member of the Jangho Group. For these preliminary results, we are treating Jangho HK as a Hong Kong, or non-PRC company, and as such, we are not making a cross-ownership determination or attributing any subsidies to Jangho HK, consistent with 19 CFR 351.525(b)(6) and (7). Any shipments of subject merchandise to the United States by Jangho HK will be subject to the Department's cash deposit requirements, as set forth in the section of this notice entitled, “Cash Deposit Requirements.”
