SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On December 28, 2020, Commerce 

published the Preliminary Results of 

this CVD administrative review in the 

Federal Register.1 On April 5, 2021, 

Commerce extended the deadline for the 

final results of this administrative 

review until June 25, 2021.2 We invited 

interested parties to comment on the 

Preliminary Results. On May 7, 2021, 

we received case briefs from Alimentary 

Group DCoop S.Coop. And. (DCoop), 

ASEMESA, Agro Sevilla Aceitunas 

S.Coop. And. (Agro Sevilla), and Angel 

Camcho Alimentacion, S.L. (Camacho), 

the European Investment Fund (the 

EIF), the Government of Spain (the 

GOS), and Musco Family Olive 

Company (Musco).3 On May 14, 2021, 

we received rebuttal briefs from 

ASEMESA, Agro Sevilla, and Camacho, 

DCoop, and Musco.4 For a complete 

description of the events that occurred 

since the Preliminary Results, see the 

Issues and Decision Memorandum.5

Scope of the Order 

The product covered by the order are 

ripe olives from Spain. 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 these issues are 

identified 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 

CVD Centralized Electronic Service 

System (ACCESS). ACCESS is available 

to registered users at http://

access.trade.gov. In addition, a complete 

version of the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum can be accessed directly 

at http://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/. 

Changes Since the Preliminary Results 

Based on the comments received from 

interested parties, we revised the 

calculation of the net countervailable 

subsidy rates for the respondents: 

DCoop, Agro Sevilla, and Camacho. For 

a discussion of these issues, see the 

Issues and Decision Memorandum. 

Methodology 

Commerce conducted this 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, 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, see the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum. 

In making this final determination, 

Commerce is relying, in part, on facts 

otherwise available, including adverse 

facts available (AFA), pursuant to 

sections 776(a) and (b) of the Act. For 

a full discussion of our application of 

AFA, see the Preliminary Results and 

the section ‘‘Use of Facts Otherwise 

Available and Adverse Inference’’ in the 

accompanying Issues and Decision 

Memorandum. 

Final Results of Review 

We determine the following net 

countervailable subsidy rates for the 

period of November 28, 2017, through 

December 31, 2018: 

Exporter/producer Subsidy 

rate 

Agro Sevilla Aceitunas S.COOP

Angel Camacho Alimentacion 

S.L ........................................... 5.23 

Alimentary Group DCoop

Disclosure 

We intend to disclose to interested 

parties the calculations and analysis 

performed in the final results of this 

review within five days of the date of 

publication of this notice in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.224(b). 

Assessment 

In accordance with section 

751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.212(b)(2), Commerce shall 

determine, and CBP shall assess, 

countervailing duties on all appropriate 

entries covered by this review. 

Commerce intends to issue appropriate 

assessment instructions to CBP no 

earlier than 35 days after the date of this 

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
