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 System (ACCESS). ACCESS is available to registered users at https:// access.trade.gov, and is available to all parties in the Central Records Unit, Room B8024 of the main Commerce Building. In addition, a complete version of the Issues and Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly at http://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/. The signed Issues and Decision Memorandum and its electronic version are identical in content. A list of the issues raised by interested parties, and to which we responded in the Issues and Decision Memorandum, is attached as the appendix to this notice. Changes From the Preliminary Results Based on our analysis of the comments received, Commerce made certain revisions to the CVD subsidy rates calculated for Canadian Solar and Jinko Solar (the mandatory company respondents). The Issues and Decision Memorandum contains descriptions of these revisions. Methodology Commerce conducted this 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 financial contribution from a government or public entity that gives rise to a benefit to the recipient, and that the subsidy is specific.8 For a full description of the methodology underlying all of Commerce’s conclusions, including any determination that relied upon the use of facts available pursuant to sections 776(a) and (b) of the Act, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum. Partial Rescission of Administrative Review As noted in the Preliminary Results, Commerce received a timely filed noshipments certification from BYD Shangluo. Commerce inquired with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) as to whether BYD Shangluo shipped merchandise subject to this review to 8 See section 771(5)(B) and (D) of the Act regarding financial contribution; section 771(5)(E) of the Act regarding benefit; and section 771(5A) of the Act regarding specificity. E:\FR\FM\28AUN1.SGM 28AUN1 45126 Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 167 / Wednesday, August 28, 2019 / Notices the United States during the POR. In response to our inquiry, CBP informed Commerce that it found no evidence of shipments concerning subject merchandise that were produced and/or exported by BYD Shangluo to the United States during the POR. Based on the no-shipments certification submitted by BYD Shangluo, and CBP’s response to our no-shipments inquiry, we are rescinding this review with respect to BYD Shangluo in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3). Final Results of Administrative Review In accordance with section 777A(e) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5), we calculated a countervailable subsidy rate for the two mandatory respondents, Canadian Solar and Jinko Solar. For the non-selected companies subject to this review, we followed our practice, which is to base the subsidy rates on an average of the subsidy rates calculated for those companies selected for individual review, excluding de minimis rates or rates based entirely on adverse facts available.9 In this case, for the non-selected companies, we calculated a rate by weight-averaging the calculated subsidy rates of the two mandatory respondents using their publicly-ranged sales data for exports of subject merchandise to the United States during the POR. We find the countervailable subsidy rates for the producers/exporters under review to be as follows: Subsidy rate (percent) Company Canadian Solar Inc. and Cross-Owned Affiliates 10 ............................................................................................................
