during the period of review (POR), 

January 1, 2020, through December 31,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On March 8, 2022, 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://access.trade.gov/ 

public/FRNoticesListLayout.aspx. 

Scope of the Order 3

The merchandise covered by this 

Order is fine denier polyester staple 

fiber. For a complete description of the 

scope of this order, see the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum. 

Analysis of Comments Received and 

Changes Since the Preliminary Results 

All issues raised in the case brief 

submitted by Auriga Polymers, Inc., 

Fiber Industries LLC, and Nan Ya 

Plastics Corporation, America are 

addressed in the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum. A list of the issues 

discussed in the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum is included as the 

appendix to this notice. Based on our 

analysis of the comments received and 

record information, we revised the 

countervailing duty (CVD) subsidy rates 

calculated for Reliance. These changes 

are explained in the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum. 

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 to 

be 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.4 For a description of 

the methodology underlying 

Commerce’s conclusions, see the Issues 

and Decision Memorandum. 

Final Results of 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

Disclosure 

Commerce intends to disclose the

Assessment Rates 

In accordance with section 

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

351.212(b)(2), Commerce shall 

determine, and U.S. Customs and 

Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, 

CVDs 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, we also intend to instruct 

CBP to collect cash deposits of 

estimated CVDs in the amount shown 

above. For all non-reviewed firms, CBP 

will continue to collect cash deposits of 

estimated CVDs at the most recent 

company-specific or all-others rate 

applicable to the company, as 

appropriate. These cash deposit 

requirements, effective upon 

publication of these final results, shall 

remain in effect until further notice. 

Administrative Protective Order 

This notice also serves as a reminder 

to parties subject to an administrative 

protective order (APO) of their 

responsibility concerning the 

disposition of proprietary information 

disclosed under APO in accordance 

with 19 CFR 315.305(a)(3), which 

continues to govern business 

proprietary information in this segment 

of the proceeding. Timely written 

notification of the return/destruction of 

APO materials or conversion to judicial 

protective order is hereby requested. 

Failure to comply with the regulations 

and the terms of an APO is a 

sanctionable violation. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

These final results are issued and 

published in accordance with sections 

751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 

CFR 351.221(b)(5).
