SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

In accordance with sections 705(a), 

705(d), and 777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 

1930, as amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 

351.210(c), on December 11, 2020, 

Commerce published its affirmative 

final determinations that 

countervailable subsidies are being 

provided to producers and exporters of 

FEBs from China, Germany, India, and 

Italy.1 In the investigation of FEBs from 

China, an interested party to the 

investigation submitted a timely filed 

allegation on the record that Commerce 

made certain ministerial errors in the 

final countervailing duty determination 

on FEBs from China. Section 705(e) of 

the Act and 19 CFR 351.224(f) define 

ministerial errors as 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 Commerce considers 

ministerial. We reviewed the allegations 

and determined that we made certain 

ministerial errors in the final 

countervailing duty determination on 

FEBs from China. See ‘‘Amendment to 

the Final Determination’’ section below 

for further discussion. 

On January 25, 2021, the ITC notified 

Commerce of its affirmative final 

determinations that pursuant to sections 

705(b)(1)(A)(i) and 705(d) of the Act, 

that an industry in the United States is 

materially injured by reason of 

subsidized imports of subject 

merchandise from China, Germany, 

India, and Italy.2

Scope of the Orders 

The merchandise covered by these 

orders is FEBs from China, Germany, 

India, and Italy. For a complete 

description of the scope of these orders, 

see the appendix to this notice. 

Amendment to the Final Determination 

of FEBs From China 

On December 21, 2020, Shanghai 

Qinghe Machinery Co., Ltd. (Qinghe) 

timely alleged that the China Final 

Determination contained certain 

ministerial errors and requested that 

Commerce correct such errors.3

Commerce reviewed the record and, 

on January 6, 2020, agreed that an error 

referenced in Qinghe’s allegation 

constituted a ministerial error within 

the meaning of section 705(e) of the Act 

and 19 CFR 351.224(f).4 Specifically, 

Commerce found that it made an error 

in calculating Qinghe’s sales 

denominator used in the China Final 

Determination by excluding ‘‘other 

operating revenue’’ from the 

denominator, and in the use of a 

denominator other than the sales value 

from the period of investigation.5

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.224(e), 

Commerce is amending the China Final 

Determination to reflect the correction 

of the ministerial error described above. 

Based on this correction, the subsidy 

rate for Qinghe decreased from 19.88 

percent ad valorem to 19.31 percent ad 

valorem.6 Because we based the allothers rate on Qinghe’s ad valorem 

subsidy rate,7 the correction described 

above also applies to the all-others rate. 

As a result, the all-others rate 

determined in the China Final 

Determination also decreased from 

19.52 percent ad valorem to 19.05 

percent ad valorem.8 Because we used 

the subsidy rate for several programs in 

our calculation of the adverse facts 

available (AFA) rate, the AFA rate also 

decreased from 337.09 percent ad 

valorem to 336.55 percent ad valorem.9

Countervailing Duty Orders 

On January 25, 2021, in accordance 

with sections 705(b)(1)(A)(i) and 705(d) 

of the Act, the ITC notified Commerce 

of its final determinations in these 

investigations, in which it found that an 

industry in the United States is 

materially injured by reason of 

subsidized imports of FEBs from China, 

Germany, India, and Italy.10 Therefore, 

in accordance with section 705(c)(2) of 

the Act, Commerce is issuing these 

countervailing duty orders. Because the 

ITC determined that imports of FEBs 

from China, Germany, India, and Italy 

are materially injuring a U.S. industry, 

unliquidated entries of such 

merchandise from China, Germany, 

India, and Italy, entered or withdrawn 

from warehouse for consumption, are 

subject to the assessment of 

countervailing duties.

Therefore, in accordance with section 

706(a) of the Act, Commerce will direct 

U.S. Customs and Border Protection 

(CBP) to assess, upon further instruction 

by Commerce, countervailing duties for 

all relevant entries of FEBs from China, 

Germany, India, and Italy, which are 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after May 26, 

2020, the date of publication of the 

Preliminary Determinations,11 but will 

not include entries occurring after the 

expiration of the provisional measures 

period and before the publication of the 

ITC’s final injury determinations under 

section 705(b) of the Act, as further 

described below. 

Suspension of Liquidation and Cash 

Deposits 

In accordance with section 706 of the 

Act, Commerce will instruct CBP to 

reinstitute the suspension of liquidation 

of FEBs from China, Germany, India, 

and Italy, as described in the appendix 

to this notice, effective on the date of 

publication of the ITC’s notice of final 

determinations in the Federal Register, 

and to assess, upon further instruction 

by Commerce, pursuant to section 

706(a)(1) of the Act, countervailing 

duties for each entry of the subject 

merchandise in an amount based on the 

net countervailable subsidy rates below. 

On or after the date of publication of the 

ITC’s final injury determinations in the 

Federal Register, CBP must require, at 

the same time as importers would 

deposit estimated normal customs 

duties on this merchandise, a cash 

deposit equal to the rates noted below. 

The all-others rate applies to all 

producers or exporters not specifically 

listed below.

Provisional Measures 

Section 703(d) of the Act states that 

instructions issued pursuant to an 

affirmative preliminary determination 

may not remain in effect for more than 

four months. In the underlying 

investigations, Commerce published the 

Preliminary Determinations on May 26, 

2020. As such, the four-month period 

beginning on the date of the publication 

of the Preliminary Determinations 

ended on September 22, 2020. 

Furthermore, section 707(b) of the Act 

states that definitive duties are to begin 

on the date of publication of the ITC’s 

final injury determination. 

Therefore, in accordance with section 

703(d) of the Act, we instructed CBP to 

terminate the suspension of liquidation 

and to liquidate, without regard to 

countervailing duties, unliquidated 

entries of FEBs from China, Germany, 

India, and Italy, entered, or withdrawn 

from warehouse, for consumption, on or 

after September 23, 2020, the date on
