Final Results of Review

    The Department determines a net subsidy rate of 100.40 percent ad 
valorem for AR Printing for the period January 1, 2010, through, 
December 31, 2010. We adjusted the net subsidy rate to reflect our 
finding that a program-wide change exists with regard to two subsidy 
programs to arrive at a cash deposit rate for AR Printing of 94.92 
percent ad valorem.

Assessment Rates/Cash Deposits

    The Department intends to issue assessment instructions to U.S. 
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 15 days after the date of 
publication of these final results of review to liquidate shipments of 
subject merchandise by AR Printing entered, or withdrawn form 
warehouse, for consumption on or after January 1, 2010, through 
December 31, 2010, at the ad valorem assessment rate listed above. We 
will also instruct CBP to collect cash deposits for the respondent at 
the countervailing duty cash deposit rate indicated above on all 
shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from 
warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of publication of these 
final results of review.
    For all non-reviewed companies, we will instruct CBP to continue to 
collect cash deposits at the most recent

company-specific or country-wide rate applicable to the company. 
Accordingly, the cash deposit rates that will be applied to companies 
covered by this order, but not examined in this review, are those 
established in the most recently completed administrative proceeding 
for each company. The cash deposit rates for all companies not covered 
by this review are not changed by the results of this review, and 
remain in effect until further notice.

administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility

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
