Changes Since the Preliminary Results

    Based on our review and analysis of the comments received from 
parties, we made certain changes to the subsidy rate calculations for 
Goodluck and TII. For a discussion of these comments, see the Issues 
and Decision Memorandum.

Methodology

    Commerce is conducting this review in accordance with section 
751(a)(l)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). For each 
of the subsidy programs found countervailable, we find that there is a 
subsidy, i.e., a financial contribution from a government or public 
entity that gives rise to a benefit to the recipient, and the subsidy 
is specific.\3\ For a full description of the methodology underlying 
our conclusions, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Final Results of Administrative Review

    In accordance with section 751(a)(1)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 
351.221(b)(5), we determine the total estimated net countervailable 
subsidy rates for the period January 1, 2019, through December 31, 
2019, to be as follows:

Assessment Rate

    Consistent with section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act, upon issuance of 
the final results, Commerce shall determine, and U.S. Customs and 
Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, countervailing duties on all 
appropriate entries covered by this review. Commerce intends to issue 
appropriate assessment instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days 
after publication of these final results. 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)(1) of the Act, Commerce intends to 
instruct CBP to collect cash deposits of estimated countervailing 
duties in the amounts indicated above with regard to shipments of 
subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for 
consumption on or after the date of publication of the final results of 
this review. 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 instructions, when imposed, shall 
remain in effect until further notice.

an administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning the return or 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 
proceeding. Timely written notification of the return/destruction of 
APO materials or conversion to judicial protective order is hereby 
requested. Failure to comply with the regulations and terms of an APO 
is a violation which is subject to sanction.

    These final results are issued and published in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5).
