                    *https://access.trade.gov/​public/​FRNoticesListLayout.aspx.* Changes Since the Preliminary Results Based on a review of the record and comments received from interested parties regarding our 
                    *Preliminary Results,*
                     and for the reasons explained in the Issues and Decision Memorandum, we made certain changes for these final results of review. Methodology Commerce conducted 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, we find that there is a subsidy, 
                    *i.e.,*
                     a financial contribution from a government or public entity that gives rise to a benefit to the recipient, and the subsidy is specific.[6]
                    
                     For a full description of the methodology underlying our 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. Companies Not Selected for Individual Review We made no changes to the methodology for determining a rate for companies not selected for individual examination from the 
                    *Preliminary Results.*
                     However, due to changes in calculations for Goodluck India Limited, the non-selected rate changed for each of the non-selected companies for which a review was requested and not rescinded, and which were not selected as mandatory respondents.[7] Final Results of Review We determine the total estimated net countervailable subsidy rates for the period January 1, 2021, through December 31, 2021, to be as follows: Producer/exporter

 Disclosure Commerce will disclose to interested parties the calculations performed for these final results within five days of public announcement or, if there is no public announcement, within five days of the date of publication of the notice of final results in the 
                    **Federal Register**
                    *,*
                     in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). Assessment Rate Consistent with section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act, upon issuance of the final results, Commerce shall determine, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, countervailing duties on all appropriate entries covered by this review. Commerce intends to issue appropriate assessment instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days after publication of these final results. If a timely summons is filed at the U.S. Court of International Trade, the assessment instructions will direct CBP not to liquidate relevant entries until the time for parties to file a request for a statutory injunction has expired (
                    *i.e.,*
                     within 90 days of publication). Cash Deposit Requirements Pursuant to section 751(a)(1) of the Act, Commerce intends to instruct CBP to collect cash deposits of estimated countervailing duties in the amounts indicated above with regard to shipments of subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of publication of the final results of this review. For all non-reviewed firms, CBP will continue to collect cash deposits of estimated countervailing duties at the most recent company-specific or all-others rate applicable to the company, as appropriate. These cash deposit instructions, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice. Administrative Protective Order This notice also serves as a final reminder to parties subject to an administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), which continues to govern business proprietary information in this segment of proceeding. Timely written notification of the return/destruction of APO materials or conversion to judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to comply with the regulations and terms of an APO is a violation which is subject to sanction. Notification to Interested Parties These final results are issued and published in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5). Dated: August 29, 2023.
