Notification to Importers 

This notice also serves as a final 

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 the countervailing duties. 

Administrative Protective Order (APO) 

This notice also serves as a reminder 

to parties subject to an APO of their 

responsibility concerning the return or 

destruction of proprietary information 

disclosed under APO in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), which 

continues to govern business 

proprietary information in this segment 

of the proceeding. 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 

violation subject to sanction. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

These final results and notice are 

issued and published in accordance 

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

the Act, and 19 CFR 351.213(h) and 19

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 September 30, 2024, we 

extended the time limit for these final 

results to December 3, 2024.3 For a 

complete description of the events that 

occurred since the publication of the 

Preliminary Results, see the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum.4

The merchandise covered by this 

Order is organic soybean meal from 

India. For a complete description of the 

scope of the 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, we made certain 

changes to Shri Sumati Industries 

Private Limited’s countervailable 

subsidy rate calculations from the 

Preliminary Results. For a full 

description of these changes, see the 

Issues and Decision Memorandum. 

Methodology 

Commerce is conducting this 

administrative review in accordance 

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

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

each of the subsidy programs found to 

be countervailable, we determine 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.6 For a 

full description of the methodology 

underlying our conclusions, including 

our reliance on facts available with 

adverse inferences, pursuant to sections 

776(a) and (b) of the Act, see the Issues 

and Decision Memorandum. 

Final Results of Review 

As a result of this review, Commerce 

determines the following net 

countervailable subsidy rates exist for 

the period September 3, 2021, through 

December 31, 2022:
