Notification to Importers 

This notice serves as a preliminary 

reminder to importers of their 

responsibility under 19 CFR 

351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate 

regarding the reimbursement of 

antidumping and/or countervailing 

duties prior to liquidation of the 

relevant entries during this POR. Failure 

to comply with this requirement could 

result in Commerce’s presumption that 

reimbursement of antidumping and/or 

countervailing duties occurred and the 

subsequent assessment of double 

antidumping duties, and/or an increase 

in the amount of antidumping duties by 

the amount of countervailing duties. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

These preliminary results and notice 

are issued and published in accordance 

with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the 

Act, 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4), 19 CFR 

351.213(h) and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(4).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On August 1, 2018, Commerce 

published in the Federal Register the 

countervailing duty (CVD) order on ripe 

olives from Spain.1 On October 18, 

2023, Commerce published in the 

Federal Register the notice of initiation 

of an administrative review of the 

Order.2 On November 15, 2023, 

Commerce selected Agro Sevilla 

Aceitunas S.Coop And. (Agro Sevilla) 

and Angel Camacho Alimentacio ́n, S.L. 

(Camacho) for individual examination 

as the mandatory respondents in this 

administrative review.3 On April 5, 

2024, Commerce extended the deadline 

for the preliminary results review until 

August 29, 2024.4 On July 22, 2024, 

Commerce tolled certain deadlines in 

this administrative proceeding by seven 

days.5 The deadline for the preliminary 

results is now September 5, 2024. 

For a complete description of the 

events that followed the initiation of 

this investigation, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum.6 A list of topics 

discussed in the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum is included in the 

Appendix I to this notice. The 

Preliminary 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 Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum can be accessed 

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

public/FRNoticesListLayout.aspx. 

Scope of the Order 

The products covered by the Order 

are ripe olives from Spain. For a 

complete description of the scope of the 

Order, see the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum.7

Methodology 

Commerce is conducting this 

administrative review in accordance 

with section 751(a)(1)(A) of the Tariff 

Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). For 

each subsidy program found 

countervailable, we preliminarily find 

that there is a subsidy (i.e., a financial 

contribution by an ‘‘authority’’ that 

gives rise to a benefit to the recipient, 

and that the subsidy is specific).8 For a 

full description of the methodology 

underlying our conclusions, including 

our reliance, in part, on facts otherwise 

available pursuant to sections 776(a) 

and (b) of the Act, see the Preliminary 

Determination Memorandum. 

Partial Recission of Administrative 

Review 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), 

Commerce will rescind an 

administrative review, in whole or in 

part, if the parties that requested a 

review withdraw the request within 90 

days of the date of publication of the 

notice of initiation. Commerce received 

timely filed withdrawal requests with 

respect to one company, Plasoliva, S.L 

(Plasoliva), pursuant to 19 CFR 

351.213(d)(1).9 Because the withdrawal 

request was timely filed, and no other 

parties requested a review of this 

company, in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.213(d)(1), Commerce is rescinding 

this review of the Order with respect to 

Plasoliva. 

Additionally, Commerce’s practice is 

to rescind an administrative review of a 

countervailing duty order, pursuant to 

19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), when there are no 

reviewable entries of subject 

merchandise during the POR for which 

liquidation is suspended.10 Normally,

13See Memorandum, ‘‘Notice of Intent to Rescind 

Review, in Part,’’ dated February 8, 2024. In this 

memorandum, Commerce also notified parties of its 

intent to rescind the administrative review with 

respect to Plasilova. However, as discussed above, 

Commerce is rescinding the review with respect to 

Plasilova pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1). 

14As discussed in the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum, Commerce found the following 

companies to be cross-owned with Angel Camacho 

Alimentacio ́n, S.L.: Grupo Angel Camacho, S.L., 

Cuarterola S.L., and Cucanoche S.L. 

15See 19 CFR 351.224(b). 16See 19 CFR 351.309(d); see also Administrative 

Protective Order, Service, and Other Procedures in 

Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Proceedings, 

88 FR 67069, 67077 (September 29, 2023) (APO and 

Service Final Rule). 17See 19 351.309(c)(2) and (d)(2) 18We use the term ‘‘issue’’ here to describe an 

argument that Commerce would normally address 

in a comment of the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum. 19See APO and Service Final Rule. 

upon completion of an administrative 

review, the suspended entries are 

liquidated at the countervailing duty 

assessment rate calculated for the 

review period.11 Therefore, for an 

administrative review of a company to 

be conducted, there must be a 

reviewable, suspended entry that 

Commerce can instruct U.S. Customs 

and Border Protection (CBP) to liquidate 

at the countervailing duty assessment 

rate calculated for the review period.12

On February 8, 2024, we issued a 

memorandum notifying parties of our 

intent to rescind this administrative 

review with respect to: (1) Aceitunera 

del Norte de Ca ́ceres, S.Coop.Ltda. de 2° 

Grado; and (2) Alimentary Group DCoop 

S.Coop. And.13 We received no 

comments from interested parties 

regarding our intention to rescind the 

review with respect to these two 

companies. Accordingly, in the absence 

of reviewable, suspended entries of 

subject merchandise during the POR, we 

are rescinding this administrative 

review with respect to these two 

companies, in accordance with 19 

CFR351.213(d)(3). 

Preliminary Results of Review 

Commerce preliminary determines 

that the following net countervailable 

subsidy rates exist for the period 

January 1, 2022, through December 31, 

2022:

Disclosure and Public Comment 

We intend to disclose the calculations 

performed for these preliminary results 

to interested parties within five days 

after the date of publication of this 

notice.15 Case briefs or other written 

comments may be submitted to the 

Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and 

Compliance. A timeline for the 

submission of case briefs and written 

comments will be notified to interested 

parties at a later date. Rebuttal briefs, 

limited to issues raised in the case 

briefs, may be filed not later than five 

days after the date for filing case 

briefs.16 Interested parties who submit 

case briefs or rebuttal briefs in this 

proceeding must submit: (1) a table of 

contents listing each issue; and (2) a 

table of authorities.17

As provided under 19 CFR 

351.309(c)(2) and (d)(2), in prior 

proceedings we have encouraged 

interested parties to provide an 

executive summary of their brief that 

should be limited to five pages total, 

including footnotes. In this review, we 

instead request that interested parties 

provide at the beginning of their briefs 

a public, executive summary for each 

issue raised in their briefs.18 Further, we 

request that interested parties limit their 

public executive summary of each issue 

to no more than 450 words, not 

including citations. We intend to use 

the public executive summaries as the 

basis of the comment summaries 

included in the issues and decision 

memorandum that will accompany the 

final results in this administrative 

review. We request that interested 

parties include footnotes for relevant 

citations in the executive summary of 

each issue. Note that Commerce has 

amended certain of its requirements 

pertaining to the service of documents 

in 19 CFR 351.303(f).19

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), 

interested parties who wish to request a 

hearing must submit a written request to 

the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement 

and Compliance, filed electronically via 

ACCESS. Requests should contain: (1) 

the party’s name, address, and 

telephone number; (2) the number of 

participants; and (3) a list of issues to be 

discussed. Issues raised in the hearing 

will be limited to those raised in the 

respective case briefs. An electronically 

filed hearing request must be received 

successfully in its entirety by 

Commerce’s electronic records system, 

ACCESS, by 5 p.m. Eastern Time within 

30 days after the date of publication of 

this notice. 

Unless extended, we intend to issue 

the final results of this administrative 

review, which will include the results of 

our analysis of the issues raised in the 

case briefs, within 120 days of 

publication of these preliminary results 

in the Federal Register, pursuant to 

section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 

CFR 351.213(h)(1). 

Assessment Rates 

In accordance with section 

751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.221(b)(4)(i), we preliminarily 

determined subsidy rates in the 

amounts shown above for the 

producers/exporters shown above. Upon 

completion of the administrative 

review, consistent with section 751(a)(1) 

of the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(2), 

Commerce shall determine, and CBP 

shall assess, countervailing duties on all 

appropriate entries covered by this 

review. We intend to issue assessment 

instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 

days after the date of publication of the 

final results of this review in the 

Federal Register. 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). 

For the companies for which this 

review is rescinded with these 

preliminary results, we will instruct 

CBP to assess countervailing duties on 

all appropriate entries at a rate equal to 

the cash deposit of estimated 

countervailing duties required at the 

time of entry, or withdrawal from 

warehouse, for consumption, during the 

period January 1, 2022, through 

December 31, 2022, in accordance with 

19 CFR 351.212(c)(l)(i). Commerce 

intends to issue appropriate assessment 

instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 

days after the date of publication of this 

notice in the Federal Register. 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

In accordance with section 

751(a)(2)(C) of the Act, Commerce also 

intends upon publication of the final 

results, to instruct U.S. Customs and 

Border Protection (CBP) to collect cash 

deposits of the estimated countervailing 

duties in the amounts calculated in the 

final results of this review for the 

respective companies listed 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. If the rate
