Changes Since the Preliminary Results 

Based on our analysis of the 

comments received from interested 

parties, we made changes to the net 

countervailable subsidy rates for 

Sgambaro SpA. (Sgambaro). For a 

discussion of these changes, see the 

Issues and Decision Memorandum. 

Methodology 

Commerce conducted this 

administrative review in accordance 

with section 751(a)(1)(A) of the Act. For 

each of the subsidy programs found to 

be 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.4 For a complete 

description of the methodology 

underlying all of Commerce’s 

conclusions, including our reliance, in 

part, on facts otherwise available, 

including adverse facts available, 

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

the Act, see the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum. 

Final Results of the Administrative 

Review 

Commerce determines that the 

following net countervailable subsidy 

rates exist for the period January 1, 

2022, through December 31, 2022: 

Producer/exporter 

Subsidy rate 

(percent ad 

valorem) 

Pastificio Gentile S.r.l ........... 0.94 

Sgambaro SpA ..................... 2.29 

Disclosure 

Commerce intends to disclose 

calculations and analysis performed for 

these final results of review within five 

days after the date of publication of this 

notice in the Federal Register, in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). 

Assessment Rates 

In accordance with 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 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) 

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

intends to instruct CBP to collect cash 

deposits of estimated countervailing 

duties in the amounts shown for the 

companies listed above for shipments of 

subject merchandise entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after the date of 

publication of these 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 the most recent 

company-specific rate applicable to the 

company, as appropriate. These cash 

deposit requirements, effective upon 

publication of these final results, shall 

remain in effect until further notice. 

Administrative Protective Order (APO) 

This notice also serves as a final 

reminder to parties subject to an 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 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 

The final results are issued and 

published in accordance with sections 

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

CFR 351.221(b)(5). 

Dated: November 21, 2024.

3See Huntsman’s Letter, ‘‘Request to Postpone 

Final Determination,’’ dated November 18, 2024. 

Background 

On April 23, 2024, Commerce 

initiated an LTFV investigation of 

imports of epoxy resins from China.1

The period of investigation is October 1, 

2023, through March 31, 2024. On 

November 13, 2024, Commerce 

published its Preliminary Determination 

of sales at LTFV of epoxy resins from 

China.2

Postponement of Final Determination 

Section 735(a)(2) of the Tariff Act of 

1930, as amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 

351.210(b)(2) provide that a final 

determination may be postponed until 

not later than 135 days after the date of 

the publication of the preliminary 

determination if, in the event of an 

affirmative preliminary determination, a 

request for such postponement is made 

by the exporters or producers who 

account for a significant proportion of 

exports of the subject merchandise, or in 

the event of a negative preliminary 

determination, a request for such 

postponement is made by the 

petitioners. Further, 19 CFR 

351.210(e)(2) requires that such 

postponement requests by exporters be 

accompanied by a request for extension 

of provisional measures from a fourmonth period to a period of not more 

than six months, in accordance with 

section 733(d) of the Act. 

On November 18, 2024, Huntsman 

Advanced Materials (Guangdong) 

Company Ltd. (Huntsman), the 

mandatory respondent in this 

investigation, requested that Commerce 

postpone the deadline for the final 

determination until no later than 135 

days from the publication of the 

Preliminary Determination, and extend 

the application of the provisional 

measures from a four-month period to a 

period of not more than six months.3

In accordance with section 

735(a)(2)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.210(b)(2)(ii), because: (1) the 

Preliminary Determination was 

affirmative; (2) the request was made by 

an exporter or producer who accounts 

for a significant proportion of exports of 

the subject merchandise; and (3) no 

compelling reasons for denial exist, 

Commerce is postponing the final 

determination until no later than 135 

days after the date of the publication of 

the Preliminary Determination, and 

extending the provisional measures 

from a four-month period to a period of 

not more than six months. Accordingly, 

Commerce will issue its final 

determination no later than March 28, 

2025. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

This notice is issued and published 

pursuant to section 735(a)(2) of the Act 

and 19 CFR 351.210(g).

Charmaine Weeks, Fee Coordinator,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Section 304(d) of the MagnusonStevens Fishery Conservation and 

Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens 

Act) authorizes and requires that NMFS 

collect cost recovery fees for limited 

access privilege programs and the CDQ 

Program. Cost recovery fees include 

NMFS’ actual costs directly related to its 

management, data collection, and 

enforcement of the programs. Section 

304(d) of the Magnuson-Stevens Act 

mandates that cost recovery fees not 

exceed 3 percent of the annual ex-vessel 

value of fish harvested under any 

program subject to a cost recovery fee 

and that the fee be collected either at the 

time of landing, filing of a landing 

report, or sale of such fish during a 

fishing season or in the last quarter of 

the calendar year in which the fish is 

harvested. 

NMFS manages the Amendment 80 

Program, AFA Program, and AIP 

Program as limited access privilege 

programs. On January 5, 2016, NMFS 

published a final rule to implement cost 

recovery for these three limited access 

privilege programs and the CDQ 

program (81 FR 150). The designated 

representative (for the purposes of cost 

recovery) for each program is 

responsible for submitting the fee 

payment to NMFS on or before 

December 31 of the year in which the 

landings were made. The total dollar 

amount of the fee due is determined by 

multiplying the NMFS published fee 

percentage by the ex-vessel value of all 

landings under the program made 

during the fishing year. NMFS publishes 

this notice of the fee percentages for the 

Amendment 80, AFA, AIP, and CDQ 

programs in the Federal Register by 

December 1 each year. 

Standard Prices 

The fee liability is based on the exvessel value of fish harvested in each 

program. For purposes of calculating 

cost recovery fees, NMFS uses a 

standard ex-vessel price (standard price) 

for each species. A standard price is 

determined using information on 

landings purchased (volume) and exvessel value paid (value). For most 

groundfish species, NMFS annually 

summarizes volume and value 

information for landings of all fishery 

species subject to cost recovery to 

estimate a standard price for each 

species. The standard prices are 

described in U.S. dollars per pound for 

landings made during the year. The 

standard prices for all species in the 

Amendment 80, AFA, AIP, and CDQ 

programs are provided in Table 1. Each
