SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On July 5, 2016, the Department published a notice of an 
opportunity to request an administrative review of the countervailing 
duty order on certain pasta from Italy.\1\ We received review requests 
from the following eight producers/exporters of the subject 
merchandise: (1) GR.A.M.M. S.R.L. (GR.A.M.M.); (2) La Fabbrica Della 
Pasta Di Gragnano S.A.S. di Antonio Moccia (La Fabbrica); (3) Liguori 
Pastificio dal 1820 S.p.A. (Liguori); (4) Pastificio Andalini S.p.A. 
(Andalini); (5) Pastificio Labor S.r.L.(Labor); (6) Pastificio Zaffiri 
S.r.l (Zaffiri); (7) Premiato Pastificio Afeltra S.r.l (Premiato); (8) 
Tesa SrL (Tesa).\2\ On September 12, 2016, we initiated a review of the 
eight producers/exporters.\3\ On November 7, 2016, Tesa SrL withdrew 
its request for review.\4\ On October 27, 2016, we selected Liguori and 
Andalini as mandatory respondents in this review.\5\ On December 12, 
2016, Andalini, GR.A.M.M., La Fabbrica, Labor, Premiato, and Zaffiri, 
withdrew their requests for administrative review.\6\ As a result of 
the timely withdrawals of their requests for review, we rescinded the 
administrative review with respect to these seven companies.\7\

Scope of the Order

    The merchandise covered by this order is certain pasta from Italy 
and is currently classifiable under items 1901.90.90.95 and 1902.19.20 
of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS). 
Although the HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and customs 
purposes, the written description of the merchandise subject to the 
order is dispositive.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ For a complete description of the scope of the order, see 
``Decision Memorandum for Preliminary Results of the Countervailing 
Duty Administrative Review: Certain Pasta from Italy,'' from James 
Maeder, Senior Director performing the duties of Deputy Assistant 
Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Operations, to 
Gary Taverman, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and 
Countervailing Duty Operations, performing the non-exclusive 
functions and duties of the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and 
Compliance, dated concurrently with this notice (Preliminary 
Decision Memorandum).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Methodology

    We are conducting 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 preliminarily 
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.\9\ For a full description of the methodology 
underlying our conclusions, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. 
The Preliminary 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 and 
in the Central Records Unit, Room B8024 of the main Department of 
Commerce building. In addition, a complete version of the Preliminary 
Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly on the internet at http://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/index.html. The signed Preliminary Decision 
Memorandum and the electronic version of the Preliminary Decision 
Memorandum are identical in content.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Preliminary Results of the Review

    In accordance with 19 CFR 351.221(b)(4)(i), we calculated the 
following individual countervailable subsidy rate for the mandatory 
respondent, Liguori, for the period January 1, 2015 through December 
31, 2015:

Assessment Rates

    In accordance with 19 CFR 351.221(b)(4)(i), we have preliminarily 
assigned a subsidy rate to the sole producer/exporter subject to this 
administrative review. Upon issuance of the final results, the 
Department will determine, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 
shall assess, countervailing duties on all appropriate entries covered 
by this review. We intend to issue instructions to CBP 15 days after 
publication of the final results of this review.

Cash Deposit Requirements

    In accordance with section 751(a)(1) of the Act, the Department 
intends to instruct CBP to collect cash deposits of estimated 
countervailing duties in the amount shown above for Liguori on 
shipments of subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 
for consumption on or after the date of publication of the final 
results of this administrative review. For all non-reviewed firms, we 
will instruct CBP to continue to collect cash deposits at the most 
recent company specific or all-others rate applicable to the company. 
These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect 
until further notice.
    These preliminary results and notice are issued and published in 
accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act and 19 CFR 
351.221(b)(4).
