With two respondents under examination,
Commerce normally calculates (A) a weighted-
average of the estimated subsidy rates calculated for
the examined respondents; (B) a simple average of
the estimated subsidy rates calculated for the
examined respondents; and (C) a weighted-average
of the estimated subsidy rates calculated for the
examined respondents using each company’s
publicly-ranged U.S. sale quantities for the
merchandise under consideration. Commerce then
compares (B) and (C) to (A) and selects the rate
closest to (A) as the most appropriate rate for all
other producers and exporters. See, e.g., Ball
Bearings and Parts Thereof from France, Germany,
Italy, Japan, and the United Kingdom: Final Results

olives from Spain during the period of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
:
Background
On October 6, 2020, Commerce
published the notice of initiation of an
administrative review of the
countervailing duty order on ripe olives
from Spain.
1
On April 5, 2021,
Commerce extended the deadline for the
preliminary results of this review by 120
days until August 31, 2021.
2
For a
complete description of the events that
followed the initiation of this review,
see the Preliminary Decision
Memorandum.
3
Scope of the Order
The products covered by the order are
ripe olives from Spain. For a complete
description of the scope of this
administrative review, see the
Preliminary Decision Memorandum.
4
Methodology
Commerce is conducting this
administrative review in accordance
with section 751(a)(1)(A) of the Tariff
Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). For
each of the subsidy programs found
countervailable, Commerce
preliminarily 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.
5
For a full
description of the methodology
underlying our conclusions, including
our reliance, in part, on facts otherwise
available pursuant to section 776(a) of
the Act, see the Preliminary Decision
Memorandum.
The Preliminary Decision
Memorandum is a public document and
is on file electronically via Enforcement
and Compliance’s Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Centralized
Electronic Service System (ACCESS).
ACCESS is available to registered users
at https://access.trade.gov. In addition, a
complete version of the Preliminary
Decision Memorandum can be accessed
directly at http://enforcement.trade.gov/
frn/index.html. A list of topics
discussed in the Preliminary Decision
Memorandum is included as Appendix
I to this notice.
Preliminary Rate for Non-Selected
Companies Under Review
There are three companies for which
a review was requested and not
rescinded, and which were not selected
as mandatory respondents or found to
be cross-owned with a mandatory
respondent. For these companies,
because the rates calculated for the
mandatory respondents, Agro Sevilla
Aceitunas S.Coop. And. (Agro Sevilla)
and Angel Camacho Alimentacio
´n, S.L.
(Camacho), were above de minimis and
not based entirely on facts available, we
are applying to the non-selected
companies the weighted average of the
net subsidy rates calculated for Agro
Sevilla and Camacho, which we
calculated using the publicly ranged
sales data submitted by Agro Sevilla and
Camacho.
6
This methodology to
establish the all-others subsidy rate is
consistent with our practice and section
705(c)(5)(A) of the Act. For further
information on the calculation of the
non-selected respondent rate, refer to
the section in the Preliminary Decision
Memorandum entitled ‘‘Non-Selected
Company Rate.’’
Preliminary Results of Review
We preliminarily determine the
following net countervailable subsidy
rates for the period January 1, 2019,
through December 31, 2019:
Producer/exporter Subsidy rate
(percent)
Agro Sevilla Aceitunas

review the calculations performed for
these preliminary results within five

Commerce also intends to issue
a post-preliminary analysis
memorandum after the publication of
this notice. Commerce will notify the
parties to this proceeding of the
deadlines for the submission of case and
rebuttal briefs after the issuance of a
post-preliminary memorandum.
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.309(c)(2) and
(d)(2), parties who submit case briefs or
rebuttal briefs in this review are
encouraged to submit with each
argument: (1) A statement of the issue;
(2) a brief summary of the argument;

must be filed electronically using

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c),
interested parties who wish to request a
hearing must submit a written request to
the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement
and Compliance, filed electronically via
ACCESS by 5 p.m. Eastern Time within
30 days after the date of publication of
this notice. Requests should contain the
party’s name, address, and telephone
number, the number of participants,
whether any participant is a foreign
national, and a list of the issues to be

Unless extended, Commerce intends

than 120 days of publication of these
preliminary results in the Federal
Register, pursuant to section
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.213(h)(1).
Assessment Rates
In accordance with 19 CFR
351.221(b)(4)(i), we preliminarily
determined subsidy rates in the
amounts shown above for the producer/
exporters shown above. Upon
completion of the administrative
review, consistent with section 751(a)(1)
of the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(2),
Commerce shall determine, and CBP
shall assess, countervailing duties on all
appropriate entries covered by this
review. Commerce intends to issue
assessment instructions to CBP no
earlier than 35 days after the date of
publication of the final results of this
review in the Federal Register. 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
In accordance with section
751(a)(2)(C) of the Act, Commerce also
intends to instruct CBP to collect cash
deposits of estimated countervailing
duties in the amounts calculated in the
final results of this review for the
respective companies listed 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 all-others
rate or the most recent company-specific
rate applicable to the company, as
appropriate. These cash deposit
requirements, when imposed, shall
remain in effect until further notice.
Notification to Interested Parties
These preliminary results and notice
are issued and published in accordance
with sections 751(a) and 777(i)(1) of the
Act and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(4).
