Changes Since the Preliminary Results 

Based on comments received and 

record evidence, Commerce made 

certain changes to the Preliminary 

Results, correcting certain minor 

calculation errors with regard to the 

respondent companies, Zhongji and 

Xiashun. These changes are explained 

in 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, 

Commerce continues to 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.8 For a full 

description of the methodology 

underlying all of Commerce’s 

conclusions, including any 

determination that relied upon the use 

of adverse facts available pursuant to 

section 776(a) and (b) of the Act, see the 

Issues and Decision Memorandum. 

Final Results of Administrative Review 

In accordance with 19 CFR 

351.221(b)(5), Commerce calculated a 

countervailable subsidy rate for 

mandatory respondents Zhongji and 

Xiashun. For the non-selected 

companies subject to this review, 

Commerce followed its practice, which 

is to base the subsidy rates on a 

weighted average of the subsidy rates 

calculated for those companies selected 

for individual examination, excluding 

rates of zero, de minimis, or rates 

determined entirely based on adverse 

facts available.9 To this end, Commerce 

calculated a rate by weight averaging the 

calculated subsidy rates of Zhongji and 

Xiashun using their publicly-available 

sales data for exports of subject 

merchandise to the United States during 

the POR. Commerce finds the
