SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

This preliminary determination is 

made in accordance with section 703(b) 

of the Trade Act of 1930, as amended 

(the Act). Commerce published the 

notice of initiation of this investigation 

on March 25, 2021.1 On May 4, 2021, 

Commerce postponed the preliminary 

determination of this investigation, and 

the revised deadline is now July 26, 

2021.2

For a complete description of the 

events that followed the initiation of 

this investigation, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum.3 A list of topics 

discussed in the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum is included as Appendix 

II to this notice. The Preliminary 

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 http://

access.trade.gov. 

Scope of the Investigation 

The products covered by this 

investigation are certain mobile access 

equipment from China. For a complete 

description of the scope of this 

investigation, see Appendix I. 

Scope Comments 

In accordance with the preamble to 

Commerce’s regulations,4 the Initiation 

Notice set aside a period of time for 

parties to raise issues regarding product 

coverage (i.e., scope).5 We received 

comments regarding the scope, which 

we have addressed in the Preliminary 

Scope Memorandum.6

Methodology 

Commerce is conducting this 

investigation in accordance with section 

701 of the Act. For each of the subsidy 

programs found countervailable, 

Commerce preliminarily determines 

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.7

Commerce notes that, in making these 

findings, it relied, in part, on facts 

available and, because it finds that one 

or more respondents did not act to the 

best of their ability to respond to 

Commerce’s requests for information, it 

drew an adverse inference where 

appropriate in selecting from among the 

facts otherwise available.8 For further 

information, see ‘‘Use of Facts 

Otherwise Available and Adverse 

Inferences’’ in the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum. 

All-Others Rate 

Sections 703(d) and 705(c)(5)(A) of 

the Act provide that, in the preliminary 

determination, Commerce shall 

determine an estimated all-others rate 

for companies not individually 

examined. The rate shall be an amount 

equal to the weighted average of the 

estimated subsidy rates established for 

those companies individually 

examined, excluding any rates that are 

zero, de minimis, or rates based entirely 

under section 776 of the Act. 

In this investigation, as discussed in 

the Preliminary Decision Memorandum, 

Commerce calculated individual 

estimated countervailable subsidy rates 

for Lingong Group Jinan Heavy 

Machinery Co., Ltd. (LGMG) and 

Zhejiang Dingli Machinery Co., Ltd. 

(Dingli) that were not zero, de minimis, 

or based entirely under section 776 of 

the Act. For the companies not 

individually examined,9 we are 

applying to the non-selected companies 

the average of the net subsidy rates 

calculated for LGMG and Dingli, which 

we calculated using the publicly ranged 

sales data submitted by LGMG and 

Dingli.10 This methodology to establish 

the all-others subsidy rate is consistent 

with our practice and section 

705(c)(5)(A) of the Act. 

Preliminary Determination 

Commerce preliminarily determines 

that the following estimated 

countervailable subsidy rates exist:

Disclosure 

Commerce intends to disclose its 

calculations and analysis performed to 

interested parties in this preliminary 

determination within five days of its 

public announcement, or if there is no 

public announcement, within five days 

of the date of this notice in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.224(b). 

Verification 

As provided in section 782(i)(1) of the 

Act, Commerce intends to verify the 

information relied upon in making its 

final determination. Normally, 

Commerce verifies information using 

standard procedures, including an onsite examination of original accounting, 

financial, and sales documentation. 

However, due to current travel 

restrictions in response to the global 

COVID–19 pandemic, Commerce may 

be unable to conduct on-site verification 

in this investigation. While we consider 

the possibility of conducting an on-site 

verification for some of the information 

submitted by the respondents, we may 

also need to verify the information 

relied upon in making the final 

determination through alternative 

means in lieu of an on-site verification. 

Commerce intends to notify parties of 

its verification procedures.
