SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On May 2, 2024, Commerce published 

the Preliminary Results of this 

administrative review in the Federal 

Register and invited interested parties 

to comment.1 On July 22, 2024, 

Commerce tolled certain deadlines in 

this administrative proceeding by seven 

days.2 On August 7, 2024, Commerce 

extended the deadline for issuing the 

final results.3 The deadline for the final 

results is now November 5, 2024. 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 this 

Order is common alloy aluminum sheet 

from India. For a complete description 

of the scope of this Order, see the Issues 

and Decision Memorandum. 

Analysis of Comments Received 

All issues raised by the interested 

parties in their case and rebuttal briefs 

are addressed in the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum. A list of 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 comments 

from interested parties and the results of 

verification, we made certain changes to 

Hindalco’s and MALCO’s 

countervailable subsidy rate 

calculations from the Preliminary 

Results. For a full description of these 

changes, see the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum.6

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 all of Commerce’s 

conclusions, see the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum. 

Company Not Selected for Individual 

Review 

The Act and Commerce’s regulations 

do not address the establishment of a 

rate to be applied to companies not 

selected for individual examination 

when Commerce limits its examination 

in an administrative review, pursuant to 

section 777A(c)(2) of the Act. Generally, 

Commerce looks to section 705(c)(5) of 

the Act, which provides instructions for 

determining the all-others rate in an 

investigation, for guidance when 

calculating the rate for companies 

which were not selected for individual 

examination in an administrative 

review. Under section 705(c)(5)(A) of 

the Act, the all-others rate is normally 

an amount equal to the weighted 

average of the countervailable subsidy 

rates established for exporters and 

producers individually investigated, 

excluding any zero or de minimis 

countervailable subsidy rates, and any 

rates determined entirely on the basis of 

facts available. 

Accordingly, to determine the rate for 

Virgo Aluminum Limited (Virgo), the 

company not selected for individual 

examination in this review, because the 

rates calculated for Hindalco and 

MALCO were above de minimis and not 

based entirely on facts available, we are 

assigning Virgo a weighted average of 

the subsidy rates calculated for 

Hindalco and MALCO using each 

company’s public ranged data for the 

value of its exports of subject 

merchandise to the United States.8

Final Results of Review 

As a result of this review, Commerce 

determines the following net 

countervailable subsidy rates exist for 

the period January 1, 2022, through 

December 31, 2022: 

Company 

Subsidy rate 

(percent ad 

valorem) 

Hindalco Industries Limited 9 41.46 

Manaksia Aluminium Company Limited ...................... 1.72 

Virgo Aluminum Limited ....... 3.59 

Disclosure 

Commerce intends to disclose the 

calculations performed for these final 

results within five days of any public 

announcement or, if there is no public 

announcement, within five days of the 

date of publication of this notice in the

Assessment Rates 

Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the 

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

Commerce has determined, and U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 

shall assess, countervailing duties on all 

appropriate entries of subject 

merchandise covered by this review. 

Commerce intends 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). 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

In accordance with section 751(a)(1) 

of the Act, Commerce also intends to 

instruct CBP to collect cash deposits of 

estimated countervailing duties in the 

amounts shown for each of the 

companies listed above for shipments of 

the subject merchandise which entered, 

or were withdrawn from warehouse for 

consumption on or after the date of 

publication of the final results of this 

administrative review. For all nonreviewed firms, we will instruct CBP to 

continue to collect cash deposits of 

estimated countervailing duties at the 

all-others rate or most recent companyspecific rate applicable to the company, 

as appropriate. These cash deposit 

requirements, when imposed, shall 

remain in effect until further notice. 

Administrative Protective Order 

This notice also serves as the final 

reminder to parties subject to an 

administrative protective order (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 or 

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 sanctionable violation. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

We are issuing and publishing these 

final results in accordance with sections 

751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 

CFR 351.221(b)(5). 

Dated: November 5, 2024.
