SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On August 3, 2023, Commerce 

published the Preliminary Results of 

this administrative review in the 

Federal Register and invited interest 

parties to comment.1 We received 

timely-filed case briefs from the 

Government of China (GOC) and Ningbo 

Daye.2 On November 17, 2023, 

Commerce extended the deadline for 

issuing these final results to January 30, 

2024.3 For a complete description of the 

events that occurred since the 

publication of the Preliminary Results, 

see the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum.4

Scope of the Order 5

The merchandise covered by the 

Order is lawn mowers from China. For 

a complete description of the scope of 

the Order, see the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum.6

Analysis of Comments Received 

All issues raised by interested parties 

in their case briefs are addressed in the 

Issues and Decision Memorandum. A 

list of the topics discussed in the Issues 

and Decision Memorandum is provided 

in the 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 https://access.trade.gov. In addition, a 

complete version of the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum can be accessed 

directly at https://access.trade.gov/ 

public/FRNoticesListLayout.aspx. 

Changes Since the Preliminary Results 

Based on our analysis of the 

comments received from interested 

parties and the evidence on the record, 

we revised the calculation of the net 

countervailable subsidy rate for Ningbo 

Daye. For a full description of these 

revisions, see the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum. 

Methodology 

Commerce conducted this 

administrative 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 government-provided 

financial contribution that gives rise to 

a benefit to the recipient, and that the 

subsidy is specific.7 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. 

Final Results of Administrative Review 

We determine the following net 

countervailable subsidy rate exists for 

the period October 30, 2020, through
