All deadlines in this segment of the proceeding have been extended by four business days. The revised deadline for the final determination is now March 4, 2016.\4\ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \4\ See Memorandum to the Record from Ron Lorentzen, Acting Assistant Secretary for Enforcement & Compliance, regarding ``Tolling of Administrative Deadlines As a Result of the Government Closure During Snowstorm Jonas,'' dated January 27, 2016. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Scope of the Investigation The merchandise covered by this investigation is PET resin. The merchandise subject to this investigation is properly classified under subheading 3907.60.00.30 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS). Although the HTSUS subheading is provided for convenience and customs purposes, the written description of the merchandise under investigation is dispositive. For a complete description of the scope of this investigation, see Appendix II. The Department did not receive comments regarding the scope of this investigation. Methodology The Department is conducting this countervailing duty (CVD) investigation in accordance with section 701 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). For each of the subsidy programs found countervailable, we determine that there is a subsidy, i.e., a financial contribution by an ``authority'' that [[Page 13335]] gives rise to a benefit to the recipient, and that the subsidy is specific.\5\ For a full description of the methodology underlying our conclusions, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum.\6\ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \5\ See sections 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. \6\ See Issues and Decision Memorandum. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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. A list of the issues that parties raised, and to which we responded in the Issues and Decision Memorandum, is attached to this notice at Appendix I. Use of Adverse Facts Available In making this final determination, the Department relied, in part, on facts available and, because JBF Industries Limited and the Government of India did not act to the best of their ability to respond to the Department's requests for information, we drew an adverse inference where appropriate in selecting from among the facts otherwise available.\7\ For further information, see the section ``Use of Facts Otherwise Available and Adverse Inferences'' in the accompanying Issues and Decision Memorandum. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \7\ See sections 776(a) and (b) of the Act. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Changes Since the Preliminary Determination Based on our review and analysis of the comments received from parties and minor corrections presented at verification, we made certain changes to the respondents' subsidy rate calculations since the Preliminary Determination and post-preliminary determination. For a discussion of these changes, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum. Final Affirmative Determination of Critical Circumstances, in Part On July 16, 2015, Petitioners filed a timely critical circumstances allegation, pursuant to section 773(e)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.206(c)(1), alleging that critical circumstances exist with respect to imports of PET resin from India.\8\ We preliminarily determined that critical circumstances did not exist for Dhunseri Petrochem Ltd., but did exist for JBF Industries Limited and the all-others companies. That determination remains unchanged and a discussion of our final critical circumstances determination can be found in the Issues and Decision Memorandum at the section, ``Final Determination of Critical Circumstances, In Part.'' --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \8\ See Letter from Petitioners dated July 16, 2015. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Final Determination In accordance with section 705(c)(1)(B)(i) of the Act, we calculated a rate for Dhunseri, the only individually investigated exporter/producer of the subject merchandise that participated in this investigation. In accordance with sections 705(c)(1)(B)(i)(I) and 705(c)(5)(A) of the Act, for companies not individually investigated, we apply an ``all-others'' rate, which is normally calculated by weighting the subsidy rates of the individual companies selected as respondents with those companies' export sales of the subject merchandise to the United States. Under section 705(c)(5)(A)(i) of the Act, the all-others rate should exclude zero and de minimis rates calculated for the exporters and producers individually investigated, and any rates determined entirely under section 776 of the Act. In this investigation, the only rate that is not zero or de minimis, or based entirely on facts available, is the rate calculated for Dhunseri. Consequently, the rate calculated for Dhunseri is also assigned as the ``all-others'' rate. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Subsidy rate Exporter/producer (percent) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dhunseri Petrochem Ltd (formerly Dhunseri Petrochem and 5.12 Tea Ltd) (collectively, Dhunseri)...................... JBF Industries Limited.................................. 153.80 All-Others.............................................. 5.12 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Continuation of Suspension of Liquidation As a result of our Preliminary Determination, and pursuant to section 703(d) of the Act, we instructed U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to suspend liquidation of entries of merchandise under consideration from India that were entered or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption, on or after May 16, 2015 (for those entities for which we found critical circumstances exist) or on or after August 14, 2015, the date of publication of the Preliminary Determination in the Federal Register (for all entities for which we did not find critical circumstances exist). In accordance with section 703(d) of the Act, we issued instructions to CBP to discontinue the suspension of liquidation for CVD purposes for subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, on or after December 12, 2015, but to continue the suspension of liquidation of all entries from May 16, 2015, or August 14, 2015, as the case may be, through December 11, 2015. If the U.S. International Trade Commission (the ITC) issues a final affirmative injury determination, we will issue a CVD order and will reinstate the suspension of liquidation under section 706(a) of the Act and will require a cash deposit of estimated CVDs for such 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. International Trade Commission Notification In accordance with section 705(d) of the Act, we will notify the ITC of our determination. In addition, we are making available to the ITC all non-privileged and non-proprietary information relating 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, without the written consent of the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance. Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Orders In the event the ITC issues a final negative injury determination, this notice will serve as the only reminder to parties subject to an APO of their responsibility concerning the disposition 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 violation subject to sanction. This determination is issued and published pursuant to sections 705(d) and 777(i) of the Act.
