Rate for Non-Selected Companies Under Review Because the rates calculated for the companies selected for individual review are above de minimis and not based entirely on facts available, we applied a subsidy rate based on a weighted average of the subsidy rates calculated for the reviewed companies using sales data submitted by those companies to calculate a rate for the companies not selected for review. This is consistent with the methodology that we would use in an investigation to establish the all-others rate, pursuant to section 705c5A of the Act. A list of all non-selected companies is included in Appendix II.
For further information on the calculation of the non-selected rate, see Final Ad Valorem Rate for NonSelected Companies under Review in the Issues and Decision Memorandum.
Final Results of Administrative Review In accordance with section 751a1A and of the Act and 19 CFR
