Scope of the Order

    Imports covered by the Order are shipments of certain non-egg dry 
pasta in packages of five pounds four ounces or less, whether or not 
enriched or fortified or containing milk or other optional ingredients 
such as chopped vegetables, vegetable purees, milk, gluten, diastasis, 
vitamins, coloring and flavorings, and up to two percent egg white. The 
pasta covered by the scope of the Order is typically sold in the retail 
market, in fiberboard or cardboard cartons, or polyethylene or 
polypropylene bags of varying dimensions.
    Excluded from the scope of the Order are refrigerated, frozen, or 
canned pastas, as well as all forms of egg pasta, with the exception of 
non-egg dry pasta containing up to two percent egg white. Multicolored 
pasta, imported in kitchen display bottles of decorative glass that are 
sealed with cork or paraffin and bound with raffia, is excluded from 
the scope of the Order.\2\ Pursuant to the Department's May 12, 2011 
changed circumstances review, effective January 1, 2009, gluten-free 
pasta is also excluded from the scope of the Order.\3\ Effective

certified by an EU authorized body in accordance with the United States 
Department of Agriculture's National Organic Program for organic 
products. The organic pasta certification must be retained by exporters 
and importers and made available to U.S. Customs and Border Protection

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.

Final Results of Review

    Because the Department received no comments after the Preliminary 
Results for consideration for these final results, we have made no 
changes to the Preliminary Results. As a result of this review, we 
determine that countervailable subsidies were provided to the 
respondent for the period January 1, 2015, through December 31, 2015, 
at the following rate: \5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ We have made no changes to this rate since the Preliminary 
Results. Therefore, no additional disclosure of calculations is 
necessary for these final results under 19 CFR 351.224(b).

    In accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(2), the Department intends to

effect until further notice.

notification of the return or destruction of APO materials or
