referenced in Qinghes allegation constituted a ministerial error within the meaning of section 705e of the Act and 19 CFR 351.224f.4 Specifically, Commerce found that it made an error in calculating Qinghes sales denominator used in the China Final Determination by excluding other operating revenue from the denominator, and in the use of a denominator other than the sales value from the period of investigation.5
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.224e, Commerce is amending the China Final Determination to reflect the correction of the ministerial error described above.
Based on this correction, the subsidy rate for Qinghe decreased from 19.88
percent ad valorem to 19.31 percent ad valorem.6 Because we based the allothers rate on Qinghes ad valorem subsidy rate,7 the correction described above also applies to the all-others rate.
As a result, the all-others rate determined in the China Final Determination also decreased from 19.52 percent ad valorem to 19.05
percent ad valorem.8 Because we used the subsidy rate for several programs in our calculation of the adverse facts available AFA rate, the AFA rate also decreased from 337.09 percent ad valorem to 336.55 percent ad valorem.9
Countervailing Duty Orders On January 25, 2021, in accordance with sections 705b1Ai and 705d of the Act, the ITC notified Commerce of its final determinations in these investigations, in which it found that an industry in the United States is materially injured by reason of subsidized imports of FEBs from China, Germany, India, and Italy.10 Therefore, in accordance with section 705c2 of the Act, Commerce is issuing these countervailing duty orders. Because the ITC determined that imports of FEBs from China, Germany, India, and Italy are materially injuring a U.S. industry, unliquidated entries of such merchandise from China, Germany, India, and Italy, entered or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, are subject to the assessment of countervailing duties.
