Analysis of Subsidy Programs and Comments Received

    The subsidy programs under investigation, and the issues raised in 
the case and rebuttal briefs by parties in this investigation, are 
discussed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum. For a list of the 
issues raised by parties, and to which we responded in the Issues and 
Decision Memorandum, see Appendix II.

[[Page 80537]]

Methodology

    Commerce conducted this investigation in accordance with section 
701 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). For each of the 
subsidy programs found to be countervailable, Commerce determines 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.\7\ For a full description of the methodology underlying our 
final determination, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ See sections 771(5)(B) and (D) of the Act regarding 
financial contribution; see also section 771(5)(E) of the Act 
regarding benefit; and section 771(5A) of the Act regarding 
specificity.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In making this final determination, Commerce relied on total facts 
otherwise available, including with an adverse inference, pursuant to 
sections 776(a) and (b) of the Act. For a full discussion of our 
application of adverse facts available (AFA), see the Preliminary 
Determination \8\ and the Issues and Decision Memorandum at the section 
entitled ``Use of Facts Otherwise Available and Application of Adverse 
Inferences.''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ See PDM at 5-12.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Verification

    Consistent with section 782(i) of the Act, in May 2024, Commerce 
verified all information reported by PT Indal Aluminum Industry TBK 
(Indal), PT Alfo Citra Abadi (PT Alfo), and the Government of Indonesia 
(GOI). We used standard verification procedures, including an 
examination of relevant account records and original source documents 
provided by the respondents.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ See Memoranda, ``Verification of the Questionnaire Responses 
of Indonesia'' dated June 26, 2024; and ``Verification of the 
Questionnaire Responses of PT Indal Aluminum Industry and PT Indal 
Reiwa Auto,'' dated June 26, 2024.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Changes Since the Preliminary Determination

    Based on our review and analysis of the information received during 
verification and comments received from parties, for this final 
determination, we made certain changes to the countervailable subsidy 
rate calculations for Indal, PT Alfo, and for all other producers/
exporters. For a discussion of these changes, see the Issues and 
Decision Memorandum.

All-Others Rate

    In accordance with section 705(c)(1)(B)(i) of the Act, we 
calculated an individual estimated countervailable subsidy rate for the 
two mandatory respondents, Indal and PT Alfo. Section 705(c)(5)(A)(i) 
of the Act states that, for companies not individually investigated, 
Commerce will determine an all-others rate equal to the weighted-
average countervailable subsidy rates established for exporters and/or 
producers individually investigated, excluding any zero and de minimis 
countervailable subsidy rates, and any rates determined entirely under 
section 776 of the Act.
    In this investigation, we continue to calculate a total net subsidy 
rate for Indal that is de minimis and a net subsidy rate for PT Alfo 
that is not zero, de minimis, or based entirely on the facts otherwise 
available. Because Commerce calculated an individual estimated 
countervailable subsidy rate for PT Alfo that is not zero, de minimis, 
or based entirely on the facts otherwise available, we have assigned an 
all-others rate based on the estimated subsidy rate calculated for PT 
Alfo.

Final Determination

    Commerce determines that the following estimated net 
countervailable subsidy rates exist for the period January 1, 2022, 
through December 31, 2022:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ Commerce continues to determine that PT Indal Aluminium 
Industry Tbk. is cross-owned with PT Indal Reiwa Auto. See 
Preliminary Determination PDM at 14. For the final determination we 
also find that PT Indal Aluminium Industry Tbk is cross-owned with 
PT Husin Investama. See Issues and Decision Memorandum at 4 and 
Comment 1.

Disclosure

    Commerce intends to disclose its calculations and analysis 
performed to interested parties in this final determination within five 
days of its public announcement or, if there is no public announcement, 
within five days of the date of the publication of this notice in the 
Federal Register, accordance with 19 CFR 351.244(b).

Suspension of Liquidation

    As a result of our Preliminary Determination, and pursuant to 
sections 703(d)(1)(B) and (d)(2) of the Act, Commerce instructed U.S. 
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to collect cash deposits and 
suspend liquidation of entries of subject merchandise as described in 
the scope of the investigation section entered, or withdrawn from 
warehouse, for consumption on or after March 11, 2024, the date of 
publication of the Preliminary Determination in the Federal Register, 
except for Indal and its cross-owned companies because its preliminary 
rate was de minimis. In accordance with section 703(d) of the Act, we 
instructed CBP to discontinue the suspension of liquidation of all 
entries of subject merchandise entered or withdrawn from warehouse, on 
or after July 9, 2024, but to continue the suspension of liquidation of 
all entries of subject merchandise that were subject to suspension of 
liquidation on or before July 8, 2024.
    If the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) issues a final 
affirmative injury determination, we will issue a countervailing duty 
order, reinstate the suspension of liquidation under section 706(a) of 
the Act, and require a cash deposit of estimated countervailing duties 
for such entries of subject merchandise, other than those produced and 
exported by Indal and its cross-owned companies because its rate is de 
minimis, in the amounts indicated above, in accordance with section 
706(a) of the Act. Because the subsidy rate for Indal and its cross-
owned companies is de minimis, Commerce will instruct CBP not to 
suspend liquidation of entries of the merchandise from this company, in 
accordance with section 705(a)(3) of the Act. If the ITC determines 
that material injury, or threat of material injury, does not exist, 
this proceeding will be terminated, and all estimated duties deposited 
or securities posted as a result of the suspension of liquidation will 
be refunded or canceled.

ITC Notification

    In accordance with section 705(d) of the Act, Commerce will notify 
the ITC of its final affirmative determination that countervailable 
subsidies are being provided to producers and exporters of aluminum 
extrusions from Indonesia. As Commerce's final determination is 
affirmative, in accordance with section 705(b) of the Act, the ITC will 
determine, within 45 days, whether the domestic industry in the United 
States is materially injured, or threated with material injury, by 
reason of import of aluminum extrusions from Indonesia. In addition, we 
are making available to the ITC all non-privileged and non-proprietary 
information in our files, provided the ITC confirms that it will not 
disclose such information, either

[[Page 80538]]

publicly or under administrative protective order (APO), without the 
written consent of the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and 
Compliance.
    If the ITC determines that material injury or threat of material 
injury does not exist, this proceeding will be terminated and all cash 
deposits will be refunded. If the ITC determines that such injury does 
exist, Commerce will issue a countervailing duty order directing CBP to 
assess, upon further instruction by Commerce, countervailing duties on 
all imports of the subject merchandise that are entered, or withdrawn, 
for consumption on or after the effective date of the suspension of 
liquidation, as discussed above in the ``Continuation of Suspension of 
Liquidation'' section.

Administrative Protective Order

    In the event that the ITC issues a final negative injury 
determination, this notice will serve as the only reminder to parties 
subject to the APO of their responsibility concerning the destruction 
of proprietary information disclosed under APO, in accordance with 19 
CFR 351.305(a)(3). 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

    This determination is issued and published pursuant to sections 
705(d) and 777(i) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.210(c).

    Dated: September 26, 2024.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.

Appendix I

Scope of the Investigation

    The merchandise subject to this investigation are aluminum 
extrusions, regardless of form, finishing, or fabrication, whether 
assembled with other parts or unassembled, whether coated, painted, 
anodized, or thermally improved. Aluminum extrusions are shapes and 
forms, produced by an extrusion process, made from aluminum alloys 
having metallic elements corresponding to the alloy series 
designations published by the Aluminum Association commencing with 
the numbers 1, 3, and 6 (or proprietary equivalents or other 
certifying body equivalents). Specifically, subject aluminum 
extrusions made from an aluminum alloy with an Aluminum Association 
series designation commencing with the number 1 contain not less 
than 99 percent aluminum by weight. Subject aluminum extrusions made 
from an aluminum alloy with an Aluminum Association series 
designation commencing with the number 3 contain manganese as the 
major alloying element, with manganese accounting for not more than 
3.0 percent of total materials by weight. Subject aluminum 
extrusions made from an aluminum alloy with an Aluminum Association 
series designation commencing with the number 6 contain magnesium 
and silicon as the major alloying elements, with magnesium 
accounting for at least 0.1 percent but not more than 2.0 percent of 
total materials by weight, and silicon accounting for at least 0.1 
percent but not more than 3.0 percent of total materials by weight. 
The scope also includes merchandise made from an aluminum alloy with 
an Aluminum Association series designation commencing with the 
number 5 (or proprietary equivalents or other certifying body 
equivalents) that have a magnesium content accounting for up to but 
not more than 2.0 percent of total materials by weight.
    The country of origin of the aluminum extrusion is determined by 
where the metal is extruded (i.e., pressed through a die).
    Aluminum extrusions are produced and imported in a wide variety 
of shapes and forms, including, but not limited to, hollow profiles, 
other solid profiles, pipes, tubes, bars, and rods. Aluminum 
extrusions that are drawn subsequent to extrusion (drawn aluminum) 
are also included in the scope.
    Subject aluminum extrusions are produced and imported with a 
variety of coatings and surface treatments, and types of 
fabrication. The types of coatings and treatments applied to 
aluminum extrusions include, but are not limited to, extrusions that 
are mill finished (i.e., without any coating or further finishing), 
brushed, buffed, polished, anodized (including bright dip), liquid 
painted, electroplated, chromate converted, powder coated, 
sublimated, wrapped, and/or bead blasted. Subject aluminum 
extrusions may also be fabricated, i.e., prepared for assembly, or 
thermally improved. Such operations would include, but are not 
limited to, extrusions that are cut-to-length, machined, drilled, 
punched, notched, bent, stretched, stretch-formed, hydroformed, 
knurled, swedged, mitered, chamfered, threaded, spun, etched, and 
engraved. Performing such operations in third countries does not 
otherwise remove the merchandise from the scope of the 
investigation.
    The types of products that meet the definition of subject 
merchandise include but are not limited to, the aluminum extrusion 
portions of vehicle roof rails and sun/moon roof framing, solar 
panel racking rails and framing, tradeshow display fixtures and 
framing, parts for tents or clear span structures, fence posts, 
drapery rails or rods, electrical conduits, door thresholds, 
flooring trim, electric vehicle battery trays, heat sinks, signage 
or advertising poles, telescoping poles, or cleaning system 
components.
    Aluminum extrusions may be heat sinks, which are fabricated 
aluminum extrusions that dissipate heat away from a heat source and 
may serve other functions, such as structural functions. Heat sinks 
come in a variety of sizes and shapes, including but not limited to 
a flat electronic heat sink, which is a solid aluminum extrusion 
with at least one flat side used to mount electronic or mechanical 
devices; a heat sink that is a housing for electronic controls or 
motors; lighting heat sinks, which dissipate heat away from LED 
devices; and process and exchange heat sinks, which are tube 
extrusions with fins or plates used to hold radiator tubing. Heat 
sinks are included in the scope, regardless of whether the design 
and production of the heat sinks are organized around meeting 
specified thermal performance requirements and regardless of whether 
they have been tested to comply with such requirements. For purposes 
of the investigations on aluminum extrusions from the People's 
Republic of China, only heat sinks designed and produced around 
meeting specified thermal performance requirements and tested to 
comply with such requirements are included in the scope. Excluded 
from the scope of the investigation are large, multi-finned extruded 
aluminum heat sinks designed to dissipate heat, meeting the 
following criteria: (1) an aspect ratio (defined as the ratio of the 
area of a void in an extrusion to the size of the smallest gap 
opening at the entrance of that void and calculated by dividing the 
void area by the square of the gap opening) greater than 15 to 1; or 
(2) the circumscribing circle diameter (defined as the diameter of 
the smallest circle that will entirely enclose the extrusion's 
cross-sectional profile) rounded up to the next half inch, exceeds 
10 inches, and the weight-per-foot (defined as the theoretical 
weight of the profile as extruded prior to any machining that may 
remove material and calculated by multiplying the area of the 
profile in square inches by 1.2) exceeds 3.50 pounds per foot.
    Merchandise that is comprised solely of aluminum extrusions or 
aluminum extrusions and fasteners, whether assembled at the time of 
importation or unassembled, is covered by the scope in its entirety. 
A fastener is any material or part that serves an attachment 
function, fastens two or more components, or serves to prevent or 
restrict movement of a component or another item. Examples of 
fasteners include, but are not limited to, nuts, bolts, clamps, and 
end caps.
    The scope also includes aluminum extrusions contained in 
merchandise that is a part or subassembly of a larger whole, whether 
or not the merchandise also contains a component other than aluminum 
extrusions that is beyond a fastener. Such merchandise may be either 
assembled or unassembled at the time of importation. A ``part or 
subassembly'' is defined as a unit designed to be attached to, or 
incorporated with, one or more other units or components into a 
larger completed product. Only the aluminum extrusion portion of the 
merchandise described in this paragraph, whether assembled or 
unassembled, is subject merchandise included in the scope and 
subject to duties. Examples of merchandise that is a part or 
subassembly of a larger whole include, but are not limited to, 
window parts or subassemblies; door unit parts or subassemblies; 
shower and bath parts or subassemblies; solar panel mounting 
systems; fenestration system parts or subassemblies, such as units 
which make up

[[Page 80539]]

a curtain wall, and window walls and window wall units, which 
collectively make up a fenestration system on the side of a 
building; and parts or subassemblies of storefronts; furniture parts 
or subassemblies; appliance parts or subassemblies, such as fin 
evaporator coils and systems for refrigerators; railing or deck 
system parts or subassemblies; fence system parts or subassemblies; 
motor vehicle parts or subassemblies, such as bumpers for motor 
vehicles; trailer parts or subassemblies, such as side walls, 
flooring, and roofings; electric vehicle charging station parts or 
subassemblies; or signage or advertising system parts or 
subassemblies. Parts or subassemblies described by this paragraph 
that are subject to duties in their entirety pursuant to existing 
antidumping and countervailing duty orders (defined as those 
antidumping and countervailing duty orders that are in effect as of 
the date of publication of order resulting from this investigation) 
are excluded from the scope of this investigation. Any part or 
subassembly that otherwise meets the requirements of this scope and 
that is not covered by other antidumping and/or countervailing duty 
orders remains subject to the scope of the investigation.
    The scope excludes aluminum extrusions contained in fully and 
permanently assembled merchandise, if the assembled merchandise is 
not a part or subassembly of a larger whole. To be excluded under 
this paragraph, the assembled merchandise must also contain a 
component other than aluminum extrusions, beyond fasteners. In 
addition, to be excluded under this paragraph, the assembled 
merchandise must be ready for use as imported, without undergoing 
after importation any processing, fabrication, finishing, or 
assembly or the addition of parts or material (with the exception of 
consumable parts or material or interchangeable media or tooling).
    The scope also excludes aluminum extrusions contained in 
unassembled merchandise if the unassembled merchandise is not a part 
or subassembly of a larger whole. To be excluded under this 
paragraph, the unassembled merchandise must also contain a component 
other than aluminum extrusions, beyond fasteners. In addition, to be 
excluded under this paragraph, the unassembled merchandise must be a 
packaged combination of parts that is ready to be assembled as 
imported, without undergoing after importation any processing, 
fabrication, or finishing or the addition of parts or material (with 
the exception of consumable parts or material or interchangeable 
media or tooling). To be excluded under this paragraph, the 
unassembled merchandise must be sold and enter as a discrete kit on 
one Customs entry form.
    Examples of such excluded assembled and unassembled merchandise 
include windows with glass, door units with door panel and glass, 
motor vehicles, trailers, furniture, appliances, and solar panels 
and solar modules. Window walls and window wall units are not 
considered windows with glass for purposes of this exclusion.
    The scope also excludes merchandise containing multiple 
subassemblies of a larger whole with non-extruded aluminum 
components beyond fasteners. A subassembly that meets the definition 
of subject merchandise, including any product expressly identified 
as subject merchandise in this scope, can only be excluded if it is 
fully and permanently assembled with at least one other different 
subassembly, and where (1) at least one of the subassemblies, if 
entered individually, would not itself be subject to the scope; (2) 
the aluminum extrusions within the merchandise collectively account 
for 50 percent or less of the actual weight of the combined multiple 
subassemblies (without including any non-extruded aluminum fasteners 
in the calculations); and (3) the aluminum extrusions within the 
merchandise collectively account for 50 percent or less of the 
number of pieces of the combined multiple subassemblies (without 
including any non-extruded aluminum fasteners in the calculations).
    The scope also includes aluminum extrusions that have been 
further processed in a third country, including, but not limited to, 
the finishing and fabrication processes described above, assembly, 
whether with other aluminum extrusion components or with non-
aluminum extrusion components, or any other processing that would 
not otherwise remove the merchandise from the scope if performed in 
the country of manufacture of the in-scope product. Third country 
processing; finishing; and/or fabrication, including those processes 
described in the scope, does not alter the country of origin of the 
subject aluminum extrusions.
    The following aluminum extrusion products are excluded: aluminum 
extrusions made from an aluminum alloy with an Aluminum Association 
series designations commencing with the number 2 (or proprietary 
equivalents or other certifying body equivalents) and containing in 
excess of 1.5 percent copper by weight; aluminum extrusions made 
from an aluminum alloy with an Aluminum Association series
