SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On December 19, 2025, Commerce published in the Federal Register
the Final Results of the 2022 administrative review \1\ of the
countervailing duty order on MAE from China.\2\ On December 29, 2025,
we received a timely ministerial error allegation from the Coalition of
American Manufacturers of Mobile Access Equipment (the petitioners).\3\
No other interested party submitted comments. Commerce is amending the
Final Results to correct one ministerial error.

the People's Republic of China: Final Results of Countervailing Duty
Administrative Review; 2022, 90 FR 59492 (December 19, 2025) (Final
Results), and accompanying Issues and Decision Memorandum (IDM).

Thereof from the People's Republic of China: Countervailing Duty
Order and Amended Final Affirmative Countervailing Duty
Determination, 86 FR 70439 (December 10, 2021) (Order).
\3\ See Petitioners' Letter, ``Ministerial Error Comments,''
dated December 29, 2025 (Petitioners' Ministerial Error Comments).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Legal Framework
Section 751(h) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act),
defines a ``ministerial error'' as including ``errors in addition,
subtraction, or other arithmetic function, clerical errors resulting
from inaccurate copying, duplication, or the like, and any other
unintentional error which the administering authority considers
ministerial.'' \4\ With respect to final results of administrative
reviews, 19 CFR 351.224(e) provides that Commerce ``will analyze any
comments received and, if appropriate, correct any . . . ministerial
error by amending the final results of review . . . {.{time} ''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ See 19 CFR 351.224(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ministerial Error
Commerce reviewed the record and finds that errors alleged by the
petitioner constitute a ministerial error within the meaning of section
751(h) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.224(f).\5\ Specifically, we find that
the benchmark error present in Dingli's final margin calculation, which
calculated inland freight on a per-kilogram per-kilometer basis instead
of a per-kilogram basis, was an inadvertent error which we consider
ministerial. Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.224(e), Commerce is amending the
Final Results to reflect the correction of this ministerial error. The
revised new subsidy rate is provided below.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ See Memorandum, ``Analysis of Ministerial Error
Allegations,'' dated concurrently with this notice (Ministerial
Error Memorandum).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
For a complete discussion of the ministerial error allegation, as
well as Commerce's analysis, see the Ministerial Error Memorandum. The
Ministerial Error Memorandum is on file electronically via ACCESS.
ACCESS is available to registered users at https://access.trade.gov.
Amended Final Results of Review
As a result of correcting the ministerial error, we determine that
the following countervailable subsidy rate for Dingli exists for the
period of January 1, 2022, through December 31, 2022:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Subsidy rate
Company (percent ad
valorem)

Zhejiang Dingli Machinery Co. Ltd.; Zhejiang Green 33.10
Power Machinery Co., Ltd.; Zhejiang Shengda Fenghe
Automotive Equipment Co., Ltd.; Zhejiang Xieheng

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Disclosure
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ As discussed in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum, and
unchanged in the Issues and Decision Memorandum and the Ministerial
Error Memorandum, Commerce has found the following companies to be
cross-owned with Dingli: Zhejiang Green Power Machinery Co., Ltd.;
Zhejiang Shengda Fenghe Automotive Equipment Co., Ltd.; and Zhejiang
Xieheng Intelligent Equipment Co., Ltd.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Commerce intends to disclose its calculations and analysis
performed for the amended final results of review within five days
after the date of publication of this notice in the Federal Register,
in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).
Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.212(b)(2), Commerce has determined, and U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) shall assess, countervailing duties on all appropriate
entries of subject merchandise in accordance with the amended final
results of this review, for the above-listed company at the applicable
ad valorem assessment rate. We intend to issue assessment instructions
to CBP no earlier than 35 days after the date of publication of these
amended final results of review in the Federal Register. If a timely
summons is filed at the U.S. Court of International Trade, the
assessment
[[Page 3122]]
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
For Dingli, Commerce is amending the cash deposit rate,
countervailing duties shall be assessed at a rate equal to the cash
deposit of estimated countervailing duties required at the time of
entry, or withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption on or after the
date of publication of the Final Results of this administrative
review.\7\ The cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in
effect until further notice.
