The products covered by this order are certain large vertical shaft engines from China. For a complete description of the scope of the order, see the appendix to this notice. Amendment to the Final Determination of Vertical Shaft Engines From China On January 21, 2021, co-petitioner Kohler Co. (Kohler) and mandatory respondent Loncin Motor Co., Ltd. (Loncin) submitted timely ministerial error allegations regarding the Final Determination. On January 29, 2012, Kohler, mandatory respondent Chongqing Zongshen General Power Machine Co., Ltd. (Zongshen) and interested party MTD Products Inc. (MTD) submitted timely responses to the ministerial allegations. See Kohler's Letter, ``Certain Vertical Shaft Engines Between 225cc and 999cc, and Parts Thereof, from the People's Republic of China: Ministerial Error Allegations,'' dated January 21, 2021 (Kohler Allegations); Loncin's Letter, ``Loncin Comments on Ministerial Errors in the Final Determination and the Disclosed Calculations for Loncin: Countervailing Duty Investigation of Certain Vertical Shaft Engines Between 225CC and 999CC, and Parts Thereof From the People's Republic of China (C-570-120),'' dated January 21, 2021 (Loncin Allegations). See Kohler's Letter, ``Certain Vertical Shaft Engines Between 225cc and 999cc, and Parts Thereof, from the People's Republic of China: Response to Ministerial Error Comments,'' dated January 29, 2021 (Kohler Response); Zongshen's Letter, ``Certain Vertical Shaft Engines Between 225cc and 999cc, and Parts Thereof, from China; CVD Investigation; Chongqing Zongshen Response to Petitioner Ministerial Error Comments,'' dated January 29, 2021 (Zongshen Response); and MTD's Letter, ``Certain Vertical Shaft Engines Between 225cc and 999cc, and Parts Thereof (VSEs) from the People's Republic of China: MTD's Response to Kohler Ministerial Error Comments,'' dated January 29, 2021 (MTD Response). Commerce reviewed the record and agreed that certain errors referenced in Kohler and Loncin's allegations constituted ministerial errors within the meaning of section 705(e) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.224(f). Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.224(e), Commerce is amending the Final Determination to reflect the corrections of the ministerial errors described in the Ministerial Error Memorandum. Based on these corrections, the subsidy rate for Loncin changed from 17.75 to 18.96 percent, and the subsidy rate for Zongshen changed from 19.29 percent to 20.38 percent. Because we based the all-others rate on Loncin's and Zongshen's ad valorem subsidy rates, the all-others rate has also changed from 18.72 percent to 19.85 percent. See Memorandum, ``Countervailing Duty Investigation of Certain Vertical Shaft Engines Between 225cc and 999cc, and Parts Thereof from the People's Republic of China: Ministerial Error Allegations in the Final Determination,'' dated concurrently with, and hereby adopted by, this notice (Ministerial Error Memorandum), at 2-6. Countervailing Duty (CVD) Order On February 24, 2021, in accordance with sections 705(b)(1)(A)(i) and 705(d) of the Act, the ITC notified Commerce of its final determination in this investigation, in which it found that an industry in the United States is materially injured by reason of subsidized imports of vertical shaft engines from China. Therefore, in accordance with section 705(c)(2) of the Act, Commerce is issuing this countervailing duty order. Because the ITC determined that imports of vertical shaft engines from China are materially injuring a U.S. industry, unliquidated entries of such merchandise from China, entered or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, are subject to the assessment of countervailing duties. See ITC Notification Letter. Therefore, in accordance with section 706(a) of the Act, Commerce will direct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to assess, upon further instruction by Commerce, countervailing duties for all relevant entries of vertical shaft engines from China which are entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after June 19, 2020, the date of publication of the Preliminary Determination, but will not include entries occurring after the expiration of the provisional measures period and before the publication of the ITC's final injury determinations under section 705(b) of the Act, as further described below. See Certain Vertical Shaft Engines Between 225cc and 999cc, and Parts Thereof from the People's Republic of China: Preliminary Affirmative Countervailing Duty Determination, Preliminary Negative Critical Circumstances Determination, and Alignment of Final Determination With Final Antidumping Duty Determination, 85 FR 37061 (June 19, 2020) (Preliminary Determination), and accompanying Preliminary Decision Memorandum. Suspension of Liquidation and Cash Deposits In accordance with section 706 of the Act, Commerce will instruct CBP to reinstitute the suspension of liquidation of vertical shaft engines from China, as described in the appendix to this notice, effective on the date of publication of the ITC's notice of final determinations in the Federal Register, and to assess, upon further instruction by Commerce, pursuant to section 706(a)(1) of the Act, countervailing duties for each entry of the subject merchandise in an amount based on the net countervailable subsidy rates below.
