Analysis of Comments Received 

All issues raised in the parties’ briefs 

are addressed in the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum, dated concurrently with, 

and hereby adopted by, this notice. A 

list of issues addressed is attached as an 

Appendix to this notice. 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://

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

enforcement.trade.gov/frn/. The signed 

and electronic versions of the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum are identical in 

content. 

Methodology 

Commerce 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 governmentprovided financial contribution that 

gives rise to a benefit to the recipient, 

and that the subsidy is specific.4 For a 

full description of the methodology 

underlying Commerce’s conclusions, 

including any determination that relied 

upon the use of adverse facts available 

pursuant to sections 776(a) and (b) of 

the Act, see the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum. 

Rescission of Review for No Shipments 

In the Preliminary Results, we stated 

our intention to rescind the review with 

respect to certain companies that 

submitted no shipment certifications.5

We inquired with U.S. Customs and 

Border Protection (CBP) whether these 

companies had shipped merchandise to 

the United States during this review 

period, and CBP provided no evidence 

to contradict the claims made by these 

companies. Because no evidence of 

shipments was placed on the record 

following the Preliminary Results to 

contradict those claims, we are 

rescinding the administrative review of 

Guangdong Xin Wei Aluminum 

Products Co., Ltd., Xin Wei Aluminum 

Co. Ltd., and Xin Wei Aluminum 

Company Limited, pursuant to 19 CFR 

351.213(d)(3). 

Final Results of Administrative Review 

In accordance with 19 CFR 

351.221(b)(5), we determine the 

following final net subsidy rates for the 

2016 administrative review: 6

Assessment Rates 

Commerce 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, 2016, through December 

31, 2016, at the ad valorem rates listed 

above. 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

Commerce also intends to instruct 

CBP to collect cash deposits of 

estimated countervailing duties in the 

amounts indicated above for each 

company listed on shipments of subject 

merchandise entered, or withdrawn 

from warehouse, for consumption on or 

after the date of publication of the final 

results of this administrative review. For 

all non-reviewed firms, we will instruct 

CBP to collect cash deposits of 

estimated countervailing duties at the 

most recent company-specific or allothers 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

The Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield 

Framework was designed by the U.S. 

Department of Commerce (DOC) and the 

Swiss Administration (Swiss) to provide 

companies in both Switzerland and the 

United States with a mechanism to 

comply with data protection 

requirements when transferring 

personal data from Switzerland to the 

United States in support of transatlantic 

commerce. On January 12, 2017, the 

Swiss deemed the Swiss-U.S. Privacy 

Shield Framework (Swiss Privacy 

Shield) adequate to enable data transfers 

under Swiss law, and on April 12, 2017, 

the DOC began accepting selfcertifications from U.S. companies to 

join the program (82 FR 16375; April 12, 

2017). For more information on the 

Privacy Shield, visit 

www.privacyshield.gov. 

As described in Annex I of the Swiss 

Privacy Shield, the DOC and the Swiss 

committed to implement an arbitration 

mechanism to provide Swiss 

individuals with the ability to invoke 

binding arbitration to determine, for 

residual claims, whether an 

organization has violated its obligations 

under the Privacy Shield. Organizations 

voluntarily self-certify to the Swiss 

Privacy Shield and, upon certification, 

the commitments the organization has 

made to comply with the Swiss Privacy 

Shield become legally enforceable under 

U.S. law. Organizations that self-certify 

to the Swiss Privacy Shield commit to 

binding arbitration of residual claims if 

the individual chooses to exercise that 

option. Under the arbitration option, a 

Privacy Shield Panel a (consisting of one 

or three arbitrators, as agreed by the 

parties) has the authority to impose 

individual-specific, non-monetary 

equitable relief (such as access, 

correction, deletion, or return of the 

individual’s data in question) necessary 

to remedy the violation of the Swiss 

Privacy Shield only with respect to the 

individual. The parties will select the 

arbitrators from the list of arbitrators 

described below. 

The DOC and the Swiss 

Administration are developing a list of 

up to five arbitrators to supplement the 

list of arbitrators developed under the 

EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework. To 

be eligible for inclusion on the 

supplemental list, applicants must be 

admitted to practice law in the United 

States and have expertise in both U.S. 

privacy law and European or Swiss data 

protection law. Applicants shall not be 

subject to any instructions from, or be 

affiliated with, any Privacy Shield 

organization, or the U.S., Switzerland, 

EU, or any EU Member State or any 

other governmental authority, public 

authority or enforcement authority. 

The DOC received emergency 

approval for this information collection 

on March 26, 2018 under Control 

Number 0625–0278. Upon receiving that 

approval, the DOC accepted 

applications submitted by April 30, 

2018 for inclusion on the Supplemental 

List of Arbitrators. The DOC is currently 

evaluating applicants who submitted by 

April 30, 2018 and is thus not currently
