SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Commerce published the Preliminary 

Results of this review on February 24, 

2021.1 On June 2, 2021, Commerce 

extended the deadline for the final 

results by 177 days. The deadline for the 

final results of this review is now 

August 20, 2021. For a complete 

description of the events that occurred 

since the Preliminary Results, see the 

Issues and Decision Memorandum.2

Scope of the Order 

The products covered by this order 

are stainless steel flanges 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 in interested parties’ 

briefs are addressed in the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum. A list of the 

issues raised by interested parties and to 

which we responded in the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum is provided in 

Appendix I 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 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/ 

index.html. 

Changes Since the Preliminary Results 

After evaluating the comments 

received from interested parties and 

record information, we have made no 

changes to the net subsidy rate 

calculated for Chandan Steel Limited 

(Chandan) or Kisaan Die Tech Pvt Ltd. 

(Kisaan). For a discussion of these 

comments, see the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum. 

Methodology 

Commerce is conducting this 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 countervailable, we 

find that there is a subsidy, i.e., a 

financial contribution from a 

government or public entity that gives 

rise to a benefit to the recipient, and the 

subsidy is specific.3 For a full 

description of the methodology 

underlying our conclusions, see the 

Issues and Decision Memorandum. 

Companies Not Selected for Individual 

Review 

For the companies not selected for 

individual review, because the rates 

calculated for Chandan and Kisaan are 

above de minimis and not based entirely 

on facts available, we applied a subsidy 

rate based on the weighted-average of 

the subsidy rates calculated for Chandan 

and Kisaan using publicly ranged sales 

data submitted by the respondents.4 We 

have made no changes to the subsidy 

rate calculated for companies not 

selected for individual review. 

Final Results of Administrative Review 

In accordance with section 

751(a)(1)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.221(b)(5), we determine the total 

estimated net countervailable subsidy 

rates for the period January 23, 2018, 

through December 31, 2018 to be as 

follows: 

Company 

Subsidy rate 

(percent 

ad valorem) 

Chandan Steel Limited ......... 4.15 

Kisaan Die Tech Pvt Ltd ...... 4.51 

Non-Selected Companies 

Under Review 5 ................. 4.22 

Disclosure 

Normally, Commerce discloses to 

interested parties the calculations 

performed in connection with a final 

results within five days of any public 

announcement or, if there is no public 

announcement, within five days of the 

date of publication of the notice of final 

determination in the Federal Register, 

in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). 

However, because there are no changes 

from the Preliminary Results, there are 

no new calculations to disclose. 

Assessment Rate 

Consistent with section 751(a)(2)(C) of 

the Act, upon issuance of the final 

results, Commerce shall determine, and 

U.S. Customs and Border Protection 

(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 

publication of these final results. 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 

Pursuant to section 751(a)(1) of the 

Act, Commerce intends to instruct CBP 

to collect cash deposits of estimated 

countervailing duties in the amounts 

indicated above with regard to 

shipments of subject merchandise 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after the date of 

publication of the final results of this 

review. For all non-reviewed firms, we 

will instruct CBP to continue to collect 

cash deposits of estimated 

countervailing duties at the most recent 

company-specific or all-others rate 

applicable to the company, as 

appropriate. These cash deposit 

instructions, when imposed, shall 

remain in effect until further notice. 

Administrative Protective Order 

This notice also serves as a final 

reminder to parties subject to an 

administrative protective order (APO) of 

their responsibility concerning the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On May 11, 2021, the Department of 

Commerce (Commerce) initiated the 

less-than-fair-value (LTFV) 

investigations of raw honey from 

Argentina, Brazil, India, Ukraine, and 

Vietnam.1 Currently, the preliminary 

determinations are due no later than 

September 28, 2021. 

Postponement of Preliminary 

Determination 

Section 733(b)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act 

of 1930, as amended (the Act), requires 

Commerce to issue the preliminary 

determination in an LTFV investigation 

within 140 days after the date on which 

Commerce initiated the investigation. 

However, section 733(c)(1) of the Act 

permits Commerce to postpone the 

preliminary determination until no later 

than 190 days after the date on which 

Commerce initiated the investigation if: 

(A) The petitioner makes a timely 

request for a postponement; or (B) 

Commerce concludes that the parties 

concerned are cooperating, that the 

investigation is extraordinarily 

complicated, and that additional time is 

necessary to make a preliminary 

determination. Under 19 CFR 

351.205(e), the petitioner must submit a 

request for postponement 25 days or 

more before the scheduled date of the 

preliminary determination and must 

state the reasons for the request. 

Commerce will grant the request unless 

it finds compelling reasons to deny the 

request. 

On August 17, 2021, the American 

Honey Producers Association and the 

Sioux Honey Association (collectively, 

the petitioners) submitted a timely 

request that Commerce postpone the 

preliminary determinations in the LTFV 

investigations for Argentina, Brazil, 

India, Ukraine, and Vietnam.2 The 

petitioners stated that they request 

postponement due to concerns that 

Commerce will need more time to issue 

supplemental questionnaires to address 

deficiencies in the respondents’ initial 

questionnaire responses. Further, the 

petitioners noted that Commerce has not 

yet determined the cost of production 

methodology that it will rely on for 

many of these investigations.3

For the reasons stated above, and 

because there are no compelling reasons 

to deny the request, Commerce, in 

accordance with section 733(c)(1)(A) of 

the Act and 19 CFR 351.205(e), is 

postponing the deadline for the
