Final Results of the Administrative Review

subsidies during the POR:

                                                                Subsidy

Assessment Rates

    Commerce shall determine, and CBP shall assess, countervailing 
duties on all appropriate entries covered by this review, pursuant to 
section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(2). Because we 
determined that Bessan did not receive countervailable subsidies in the 
final results of this review, we intend to instruct CBP to liquidate 
the appropriate entries without regard to countervailing duties in 
accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(2) and 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1).
    Commerce intends to issue appropriate assessment instructions to 
CBP no earlier than 35 days after the date of this publication of the 
final results of this review in the Federal Register. If a timely 
summons is filed at the U.S. Court of International Trade, the 
assessment instructions will direct CBP not to liquidate relevant 
entries until the time for parties to file a request for a statutory 
injunction has expired (i.e., within 90 days of publication).

Cash Deposit Requirements

    Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act, Commerce also intends 
to instruct CBP to collect cash deposits of estimated countervailing 
duties at the appropriate rates. For shipments of subject merchandise 
by Bessan entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or 
after the date of publication of these final results, the cash deposit 
rate will be zero. For all non-reviewed firms, CBP will continue to 
collect cash deposits of estimated countervailing duties at the most 
recent company-specific or all-others rate applicable to the company, 
as appropriate. These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall 
remain in effect until further notice.

Administrative Protective Order

    This notice serves as a reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning the destruction of proprietary information disclosed under 
APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), which continues to govern 
business proprietary information in this segment of the proceeding. 
Timely written notification of return or 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 sanctionable 
violation.

Notification to Interested Parties

    The final results of this review are issued and published in 
accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act.

    Dated: November 8, 2021.
