SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On December 3, 2021, Commerce 

published the Preliminary 

Determination.1 For a complete 

description of the events that followed 

the Preliminary Determination, see 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://access.trade.gov/ 

public/FRNoticesListLayout.aspx. 

Period of Investigation 

The period of investigation is January 

1, 2020, through December 31, 2020. 

Scope of the Investigation 

The products covered by this 

investigation are UAN from Trinidad 

and Tobago. For a complete description 

of the scope of the investigation, see 

Appendix I. 

Scope Comments 

No interested party commented on the 

scope of the investigation as it appeared 

in the Preliminary Determination. 

Therefore, no changes were made to the 

scope of the investigation. 

Analysis of Subsidy Programs and 

Comments Received 

The subsidy programs under 

investigation and the issues raised in 

the case and rebuttal briefs by parties in 

this investigation are discussed in the 

Issues and Decision Memorandum. For 

a list of the issues raised by interested 

parties and addressed in the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum, see Appendix II 

to this notice. 

Methodology 

Commerce conducted this 

investigation in accordance with section 

701 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 

amended (the Act). For each of the 

subsidy programs found 

countervailable, Commerce 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.3 For a 

full description of the methodology 

underlying our final determination, see 

the Issues and Decision Memorandum. 

Verification 

Commerce was unable to conduct onsite verification of the information 

relied upon in making its final 

determination in this investigation. 

However, we took additional steps in 

lieu of on-site verifications to verify the 

information relied upon in making this 

final determination, in accordance with 

section 782(i) of the Act.4

Changes Since the Preliminary 

Determination 

After evaluating the comments 

received from interested parties and 

record information, we have made no 

changes to the net countervailable 

subsidy rates calculated for Methanol 

Holdings (Trinidad) Limited (MHTL), 

the sole mandatory respondent in this 

investigation. For a discussion of these 

comments, see the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum. 

All-Others Rate 

In accordance with section 

705(c)(1)(B)(i) of the Act, we calculated 

an individual estimated countervailable 

subsidy rate for MHTL. Section 

705(c)(5)(A)(i) of the Act states that, for 

companies not individually 

investigated, Commerce will determine 

an all-others rate equal to the weightedaverage countervailable subsidy rates 

established for exporters and/or 

producers individually investigated, 

excluding any zero and de minimis 

countervailable subsidy rates, and any 

rates determined entirely under section 

776 of the Act. 

Commerce calculated an individual 

estimated countervailable subsidy rate 

for MHTL, the only individually 

examined producer/exporter in this 

investigation. Because the only 

individually calculated rate is not zero, 

de minimis, or based entirely on facts 

otherwise available, the rate calculated 

for MHTL is the rate assigned to all 

other producers and exporters not 

individually examined in this 

investigation, pursuant to section 

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

Final Determination 

Commerce determines that the 

following estimated net countervailable 

subsidy rates exist: 

Company 

Subsidy 

rate 

(percent 

ad valorem) 

Methanol Holdings (Trinidad) 

Limited ................................... 1.83 

All Others .................................. 1.83 

Disclosure 

Normally, Commerce discloses to 

interested parties the calculations 

performed in connection with a final 

determination 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

no changes from the Preliminary 

Determination, there are no new 

calculations to disclose. 

Continuation of Suspension of 

Liquidation 

As a result of our Preliminary 

Determination, and pursuant to sections 

703(d)(1)(B) and (d)(2) of the Act, 

Commerce instructed U.S. Customs and 

Border Protection (CBP) to suspend 

liquidation of entries of subject 

merchandise, as described in the scope 

of the investigation section, that were 

entered or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption, on or after December 

3, 2021, the date of publication of the 

Preliminary Determination in the 

Federal Register. In accordance with 

section 703(d) of the Act, we instructed 

CBP to discontinue the suspension of 

liquidation for subject merchandise 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

on or after April 2, 2022, but to continue 

the suspension of liquidation of all 

entries of subject merchandise between 

December 3, 2021, and April 1, 2022. 

If the U.S. International Trade 

Commission (ITC) issues a final 

affirmative injury determination, we 

will issue a countervailing duty order, 

reinstate the suspension of liquidation 

under section 706(a) of the Act, and 

require a cash deposit of estimated 

countervailing duties for entries of 

subject merchandise in the amounts 

indicated above. If the ITC determines 

that material injury, or threat of material 

injury, does not exist, this proceeding 

will be terminated, and all estimated 

duties deposited or securities posted as 

a result of the suspension of liquidation 

will be refunded or canceled. 

ITC Notification 

In accordance with section 705(d) of 

the Act, Commerce will notify the ITC 

of its final affirmative determination 

that countervailable subsidies are being 

provided to producers and exporters of 

UAN from Trinidad and Tobago. As 

Commerce’s final determination is 

affirmative, in accordance with section 

705(b) of the Act, the ITC will 

determine, within 45 days, whether the 

domestic industry in the United States 

is materially injured or threatened with 

material injury. In addition, we are 

making available to the ITC all nonprivileged and nonproprietary 

information related to this investigation. 

We will allow the ITC access to all 

privileged and business proprietary 

information in our files, provided the 

ITC confirms that it will not disclose 

such information, either publicly or 

under an administrative protective order 

(APO), without the written consent of 

the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement 

and Compliance. 

Notification Regarding APO 

In the event the ITC issues a final 

negative injury determination, this 

notice serves as the only reminder to 

parties subject to an APO of their 

responsibility concerning the 

destruction of proprietary information 

disclosed under APO in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). 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 sanctionable violation. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

This determination is issued and 

published pursuant to sections 705(d) 

and 777(i) of the Act, and 19 CFR 

351.210(c). 

Dated: June 17, 2022.

Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and 

Compliance. 

Appendix I—Scope of the Investigation
