SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On December 14, 2015, the Department published the Final 
Results.\5\ On December 15, 2015, the Jangho Companies alleged that 
certain ministerial errors were contained in the Final Results, and 
requested that the Department correct such errors.\6\ No other party 
has submitted ministerial error comments or rebuttal comments.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See Final Results.
    \6\ See letter from the Jangho Companies to the Department 
regarding: ``Aluminum Extrusions from the People's Republic of 
China: Ministerial Errors,'' December 15, 2015 (Ministerial Error 
Allegation).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Before the Department could take action on the alleged ministerial 
errors, both Taizhou United Imp & Exp Co Ltd. and the Jangho Companies 
filed a summons and complaint with the U.S. Court of International 
Trade (``CIT'') challenging the Final Results, which vested the CIT 
with jurisdiction over the administrative proceeding.\7\ On February 8 
and 12, 2016, the CIT granted the Department leave to publish amended 
final results upon considering the ministerial error allegations.\8\

purposes, the written description of the scope of this Order is 
dispositive.

Correction to the Final Results

    As discussed in the memoranda accompanying this notice, and which 
are hereby adopted by this notice, we determine that the Final Results 
contained two ministerial errors.\10\ First, in Guangzhou Jangho's 
glass for less than adequate remuneration (LTAR) purchases and benefits 
spreadsheet, we inadvertently referenced the wrong column in the 
transaction-specific benefits formulas for Guangzhou Jangho's glass 
purchases. We have corrected this error by modifying the relevant 
formula to refer to the correct column. Second, in Shanghai Jangho's 
aluminum extrusions for LTAR purchases and benefits spreadsheet, the 
formulas used to reference monthly aluminum extrusions benchmark prices 
were returning the value for the wrong month in certain instances, and 
in some instances we had used incorrect formulas. We have corrected 
these errors.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ See Memorandum from Tyler Weinhold and Davina Friedmann, 
through Robert James, program Manager, Office VI, to Scot Fullerton, 
Director, AD/CVD Operations, Office VI, regarding: ``Administrative 
Review of Countervailing Duty Order on Aluminum Extrusions from the 
People's Republic of China: Ministerial Error Allegation,'' dated 
concurrently with this memorandum (Amended Final Results Decision 
Memorandum), and Memorandum from Tyler Weinhold through Robert 
James, Program Manager, Office VI, to the File, regarding: 
``Administrative Review of Countervailing Duty Order on Aluminum 
Extrusions from the People's Republic of China: Amended Final 
Results Analysis Memorandum for the Jangho Companies,'' dated 
concurrently with this memorandum (Amended Final Analysis Memorandum 
for the Jangho Companies).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Amendment to Rates for Non-Selected Companies Under Review

    In light of the above corrections, for the 38 companies for which a 
review was requested and not rescinded, but were not selected as 
mandatory respondents, we have recalculated the net subsidy rate which 
is based on the overall subsidy rates calculated for the mandatory 
respondents of this review.\11\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ For further information see Memorandum from Davina 
Friedmann and Tyler Weinhold, Case Analysts, to Robert James, 
Program Manager, Office VI, AD/CVD Operations, regarding: 
``Administrative Review of Countervailing Duty Order on Aluminum 
Extrusions from the People's Republic of China: Non-Selected Rate 
Calculation Memorandum for the Amended Final Results,'' dated 
concurrently with these amended final results of review.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    We have also recalculated the net subsidy rate assigned to those 
companies for which we applied AFA in the Final Results because the AFA 
rate includes the individual subsidy rates determined for the glass for 
LTAR and aluminum extrusions for LTAR programs.\12\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ For further information see Memorandum from Davina 
Friedmann and Tyler Weinhold, Case Analysts, to Robert James, 
Program Manager, Office VI, AD/CVD Operations, regarding: 
``Administrative Review of Countervailing Duty Order on Aluminum 
Extrusions from the People's Republic of China: AFA Calculation 
Memorandum for the Amended Final Results,'' dated concurrently with 
these amended final results of review.
    \13\ Because the net subsidy rate for the Guang Ya Group did not 
change as a result of these amended final results, their net subsidy 
rate remains the same as was published in the Final Results. See 
Final Results, 80 FR 77325, 77327.
    \14\ In the Final Results, the Department misspelled the name of 
this company. This error has been corrected for these amended final 
results of review.

Amended Final Results of Administrative Review

    In accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(e) we determine the following 
amended final net subsidy rates for the 2013 administrative review:
