    \3\ See Memorandum, ``Issues and Decision Memorandum for the 
Final Affirmative Determination in the Countervailing Duty 
Investigation of Tin Mill Products from the People's Republic of 
China,'' dated concurrently with, and hereby adopted by, this notice 
(Issues and Decision Memorandum).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Scope of the Investigation

    The products covered by this investigation are tin mill products 
from China. For a complete description of the scope of this 
investigation, see Appendix I.

Scope Comments

    During the course of this investigation, Commerce received scope 
comments from parties. Commerce issued a Preliminary Scope Decision 
Memorandum to address these comments and set aside a period of time for 
parties to address scope issues in scope-specific case and rebuttal 
briefs.\4\ We received comments from parties on the Preliminary Scope 
Decision Memorandum, which we address in the Final Scope Decision 
Memorandum.\5\ We did not make any changes to the scope of the 
investigation from the scope published in the Preliminary 
Determination, as noted in Appendix I.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See Memorandum, ``Preliminary Scope Decision Memorandum,'' 
dated August 16, 2023 (Preliminary Scope Decision Memorandum).
    \5\ See Memorandum, ``Final Scope Decision Memorandum,'' dated 
concurrently with this memorandum (Final Scope Decision Memorandum).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Analysis of Subsidy Programs and Comments Received

    The subsidy programs under investigation, and the issues raised in 
the case and rebuttal briefs that were submitted by parties in this 
investigation, are discussed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum. For 
a list of the issues raised by interested parties and addressed in the 
Issues and Decision Memorandum, see Appendix II.

Methodology

    Commerce conducted this investigation in accordance with section 
701 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). For each of the 
subsidy programs found to be countervailable, Commerce determines that 
there is a subsidy, i.e., a financial contribution by an ``authority'' 
that gives rise to a benefit to the recipient, and that the subsidy is 
specific.\6\ For a full description of the methodology underlying our 
final determination, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ See sections 771(5)(B) and (D) of the Act regarding 
financial contribution; see also section 771(5)(E) of the Act 
regarding benefit; and section 771(5A) of the Act regarding 
specificity.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In making this final determination, Commerce relied, in part, on 
facts otherwise available, pursuant to sections 776(a) and (b) of the 
Act. For a full discussion of our application of adverse facts 
available (AFA), see the section ``Use of Facts Available and Adverse 
Inferences'' in the Issues and Decision Memorandum.

Verification

    Commerce was unable to conduct on-site verification of the 
information relied on in making its final determination in this 
investigation. However, in August 2023, we took additional steps in 
lieu of on-site verifications to verify the information relied upon in 
making this final determination, in accordance with section 782(i) of 
the Act, by conducting virtual verification of one of the mandatory 
respondents, Shougang Jingtang United Iron & Steel Co., Ltd. (Jingtang 
Iron).

Final Affirmative Determination of Critical Circumstances, in Part

    In accordance with sections 703(e)(1), and 776(a) and (b) of the 
Act, and 19 CFR 351.206, as well as our analysis of comments received 
regarding our affirmative preliminary determination of critical 
circumstances,\7\ Commerce continues to find that critical 
circumstances exist with respect to imports of tin mill products from 
China for one of the mandatory respondents, Baoshan Iron & Steel Co., 
Ltd. (Baoshan Iron). In addition, we continue to find that critical 
circumstances do not exist with respect to imports of tin mill products 
from Jingtang Iron and companies not individually examined. For a full 
description of the methodology and results of Commerce's critical 
circumstances analysis, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ See Issues and Decision Memorandum at Comment 1.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Changes Since the Preliminary Determination

    Based on our review and analysis of the information at verification 
and comments received from interested parties, we made changes to the 
subsidy rate calculations for Jingtang Iron. For a discussion of the 
comments received, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum.

[[Page 1533]]

All-Others Rate

    Pursuant to section 705(c)(5)(A)(i) of the Act, Commerce will 
determine an all-others rate equal to the weighted-average 
countervailable subsidy rates established for exporters and/or 
producers individually investigated, excluding any zero and de minimis 
countervailable subsidy rates, and any rates determined entirely under 
section 776 of the Act. In this investigation, Commerce calculated a 
total subsidy rate for Baoshan Iron determined entirely under section 
776 of the Act. Therefore, the only rate that is not zero, de minimis, 
or based entirely on facts otherwise available is the rate calculated 
for Jingtang Iron. Consequently, the rate calculated for Jingtang Iron 
is also assigned as the rate for all other producers and exporters.

Final Determination

    Commerce determines that the following estimated countervailable 
subsidy rates exist: \8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ Commerce finds the following companies to be cross-owned 
with Jingtang Iron: Shougang Group Co., Ltd.; Shougang Casey Steel 
Co., Ltd.; Beijing Shougang Co., Ltd.; Beijing Shougang Steel Trade 
Management Co., Ltd.; Beijing Shougang Machinery & Electric Co., 
Ltd.; Beijing Shougang Gas Co., Ltd.; Qinhuangdao Shougang Machinery

Disclosure

    Commerce intends to disclose to interested parties the calculations 
performed in this final determination within five days of any public 
announcement or, if there is no public announcement, within five days 
of the date of the publication of this notice in the Federal Register, 
in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).

Continuation of Suspension of Liquidation

    As a result of our Preliminary Determination and pursuant to 
sections 703(d)(1)(B) and (d)(2) of the Act, we instructed U.S. Customs 
and Border Protection (CBP) to suspend liquidation of entries of 
subject merchandise from China that were entered, or withdrawn from 
warehouse, for consumption, on or after June 26, 2023, the date of 
publication of the Preliminary Determination in the Federal Register. 
Because we preliminarily determined that critical circumstances existed 
with respect to Baoshan Iron, we instructed CBP to suspend such entries 
on or after March 28, 2023, which is 90 days prior to the date of the 
publication of the Preliminary Determination in the Federal 
Register.\9\ In accordance with section 703(d) of the Act, we 
instructed CBP to discontinue the suspension of liquidation of all 
entries of subject merchandise entered or withdrawn from warehouse, on 
or after October 24, 2023.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ See Countervailing Duty Investigation of Tin Mill Products 
from the People's Republic of China: Preliminary Determination of 
Critical Circumstances, in Part, 88 FR 46738 (July 20, 2023).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    If the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) issues a final 
affirmative injury determination, we will issue a countervailing duty 
(CVD) order, reinstate the suspension of liquidation under section 
706(a) of the Act, and require a cash deposit of estimated CVDs for 
entries of subject merchandise in the amounts indicated above. If the 
ITC determines that material injury, or threat of material injury, does 
not exist, this proceeding will be terminated, and all estimated duties 
deposited or securities posted as a result of the suspension of 
liquidation will be refunded or canceled.

ITC Notification

    In accordance with section 705(d) of the Act, we will notify the 
ITC of our final affirmative determination that countervailable 
subsidies are being provided to producers and exporters of pressure 
washers from China. Because the final determination in this proceeding 
is affirmative, in accordance with section 705(b) of the Act, the ITC 
will make its final determination as to whether the domestic industry 
in the United States is materially injured, or threatened with material 
injury, by reason of imports of pressure washers from China no later 
than 45 days after our final determination. In addition, we are making 
available to the ITC all non-privileged and nonproprietary information 
related to this investigation. We will allow the ITC access to all 
privileged and business proprietary information in our files, provided 
the ITC confirms that it will not disclose such information, either 
publicly or under an administrative protective order (APO), without the 
written consent of the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and 
Compliance. If the ITC determines that material injury or threat of 
material injury does not exist, this proceeding will be terminated and 
all cash deposits will be refunded. If the ITC determines that such 
injury does exist, Commerce will issue a CVD order directing CBP to 
assess, upon further instruction by Commerce, CVDs on all imports of 
the subject merchandise that are entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 
for consumption on or after the effective date of the suspension of 
liquidation, as discussed above in the ``Continuation of Suspension of 
Liquidation'' section.

Administrative Protective Order

    In the event that the ITC issues a final negative injury 
determination, this notice will serve as the only reminder to parties 
subject to an APO of their responsibility concerning the destruction of 
proprietary information disclosed under APO, in accordance with 19 CFR 
351.305(a)(3). 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.

Notification to Interested Parties

    This determination is issued and published pursuant to sections 
705(d) and 777(i) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.210(c).

    Dated: January 4, 2024.
