                    *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 to be countervailable, Commerce finds 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.[9]
                    
                     For a full description of the methodology underlying our conclusions, including any determination that relied upon the use of adverse facts available pursuant to section 776(a) and (b) of the Act,
