SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background On May 18, 2021, Commerce published the 
                    *Preliminary Results*
                     of this review.[1]
                    
                     A summary of the events that occurred since Commerce published the 
                    *Preliminary Results*
                    , as well as a full discussion of the issues raised by parties for these final results, are discussed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum.[2]
                    
                     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://enforcement.trade.gov/​frn/​.* Scope of the Order The merchandise covered by this order is fine denier polyester staple fiber (fine denier PSF). For a complete description of the scope of this order, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum. Analysis of Comments Received All issues raised in the interested parties' case and rebuttal briefs are addressed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum. Based on our analysis of the comments received from interested parties and record information, we revised the prohibited subsidy rate calculated for Reliance. 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 countervailable, we find that there is a subsidy, 
                    *i.e.,*
                     a government-provided financial contribution that gives rise to a benefit to the recipient, and that the subsidy is specific.[3]
                    
                     For a description of the methodology underlying Commerce's conclusions, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum. Final Results of the Administrative Review In accordance with section 751(a)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.221(B)(5), we find the net countervailable subsidy rate for the POR January 1, 2019, through December 31, 2019 to be as follows: Company

                    *i.e.,*
                     within 90 days of publication). In accordance with section 751(a)(1) of the Act, we also intend to instruct
