Preliminary Affirmative Countervailing Duty Determinations; Certain Textile
Mill Products and Apparel From the Philippines
Friday, January 11, 1985
*1607
AGENCY: Import Administration. International Trade Administration.
ACTION: Notice.
SUMMARY: We preliminarily determine that certain benefits which constitute bounties
or grants within the meaning of the countervailing duty law are being provided to
manufacturers, producers, or exporters in the Philippines of certain textile mill
products and apparel. The estimated net bounty or grant is 1.49 percent ad valorem for
textile mill products and 1.33 percent ad valorem for apparel. We are directing the U.S.
Customs Service to suspend liquidation of all entries of textile mill products and apparel
from the Philippines, except those produced by Aris Philippines, G&S Manufacturing
Corporation and Philippine Handicraft, Inc., that are entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption after the date of publication of this notice, and to require a
cash deposit or bond on entries of these products in the amount equal to the estimated
net bounty or grant.
These investigations were initiated by the Department under the title "Certain Textiles and
Textile Products from the
*1608
Philippines." Because of the number of products
covered, and the differences in those products, the Department determined that it should
conduct separate investigations--one on textiles and non-apparel textile products, and
one on apparel. Because of the potential for confusion, as apparel can also be considered a
textile product, we are changing the titles of these investigations to "Certain Textile Mill
Products and Apparel from the Philippines." The scope of these investigations remains
the same as announced in the initiation.
If these investigations proceed normally, we will make our final determinations by March
15, 1985.
EFFECTIVE DATE: January 11, 1985.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Preliminary Determinations
Based upon our investigations, we preliminary determine that there is reason to believe
or suspect that certain benefits which constitute bounties or grants within the meaning of
section 303 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), are being provided to
manufacturers, producers, or exporters in the Philippines of certain textile mill
products and apparel. For purposes of these investigations, the following programs are
preliminarily found to confer a bounty or grant:
- Preferential Export Credits.
- Preferential Tax Benefits.
Development Bank of the Philippines Interest Moratorium
We estimate the net bounty or grant to be 1.49 percent ad valorem for textile mill
products and 1.33 percent ad valorem for apparel.
Case History
On August 2, 1984, we received a petition from the American Textile Manufacturers
Institute, the Amalgamated Clothing and Textile Workers Union, and the International
Ladies' Garment Workers Union, on behalf of the U.S. industry producing certain textile
mill products and apparel. In compliance with the filing requirements of section 355.26 of
our regulations (19 CFR 355.26), the petition alleges that manufacturers, producers, or
exporters in the Philippines of textile mill products and apparel receive, directly or
indirectly, benefits which constitute bounties or grants within the meaning of section 303
of the Act.
We found that the petition contained sufficient grounds upon which to initiate
countervailing duty investigations, and on August 30, 1984, we initiated such
investigations (49 FR 34381). We stated that we expected to issue preliminary
determinations by October 35, 1984. On September 21, 1984, we determined these
investigations to be "extraordinarily complicated," as defined in section 703(c)(1)(B) of
the Act. Therefore, we extended the period for making our preliminary determinations
until not later than December 31, 1984 (49 FR 42772).
Since the Philippines is not a "country under the Agreement" within the meaning of
section 701(b) of the Act and the merchandise being investigated is dutiable, sections
303(a)(1) and (b) of the Act apply to these investigations. Accordingly, the domestic
industry is not required to allege that, and the U.S. International Trade Commission is not
required to determine whether, imports of these products cause or threaten material
injury to a U.S. industry.
Due to the scope of these investigations, we employed a two-step questionnaire process.
We presented a preliminary questionnaire to the government of the Philippines in
Washington, D.C., on August 28, 1984. Based on the responses to the preliminary
questionnaire, we requested responses from those producers who account for at least 60
percent of the textile mill products and apparel exported to the United States. We
selected eight textile producers and exporters, and ten apparel producers and exporters
to respond to the detailed questionnaire. On October 29, 1984, we presented the detailed
government and company questionnaires to the government of the Philippines in
Washington, D.C. The responses to our detailed questionnaires were received on
November 28 and December 3, 1984. Nine companies made timely requests for exclusion
and were sent copies of the detailed questionnaires. The responses of Aris Philippines,
G&S Manufacturing Corporation and Philippine Handicraft, Inc., indicate that they
receive benefits which are de minimis, and therefore, they are excluded from these
preliminary determinations. Other companies requesting exclusion have been included in
the suspension of liquidation.
Certain respondents in the Certain Textile Mill Products and Apparel investigations have
raised the issue as to whether petitioners have standing to file these cases. We addressed
this issue in our preliminary determinations of Certain Textile Mill Products and Apparel
from Indonesia (49 FR 49672, December 21, 1984). See that notice for our comments on
the issue of petitioners' standing.
Scope of the Investigation
The products covered by these investigations are certain textile mill products (textiles)
and apparel, which are described in Appendix A, attached to this notice.
Analysis of Programs
Throughout this notice, we refer to certain general principles applied to the facts of the
instant investigation. These principles are described in the "Subsidies Appendix" attached
to the notice of "Cold-Rolled Carbon Steel Flat- Rolled Products from Argentina; Final
Affirmative Countervailing Duty Determination and Countervailing Duty Order,"
which was published in the April 26, 1984, issue of the Federal Register (49 FR 18006).
Consistent with our practice in preliminary determinations, where a response to an
allegation denies the existence of a program, receipt of benefits under a program, or
eligibility of a company or industry under a program, and the Department has no
persuasive evidence showing that the response is incorrect, we accept the response for
purposes of the preliminary determination. All such responses, of course, are subject to
verification. If the response cannot be supported at verification, and the program is
otherwise countervailable, the program will be considered a subsidy in the final
determination.
For purposes of these preliminary determinations, the period for which we are measuring
bounties or grants ("the review period") is calendar year 1983.
Based upon our analysis of the petition and the response to our questionnaires, we
preliminarily determine the following:
1. Programs Determined to Confer Bounties or Grants
We preliminarily determine that bounties or grants are being provided to manufacturers,
producers, or exporters in the Philippines of certain textile mill products and apparel
under the following programs.
A. Preferential Export Credit
Petitioners allege that the exporters of the products under investigation receive
preferential export credit at below market rates through the rediscounting
*1609
program run by the Central Bank of the Philippines.
The export packing credit program (EPC) is a rediscounting program offered by the
Central Bank of the Philippines, which provides credit on eligible paper with original
maturity of one year or less. Upon receipt of a letter of credit, an exporter may request
from a commercial bank a loan predicated on the letter of credit to finance working
capital and other requirements. From January to November, the maximum interest rate
chargeable to exporters under this program was 12 percent. In November 1983, the
Central Bank adjusted the relending rates to a maximum of the Manila Reference Rate (as
published by the Central Bank of the Philippines) less 2 percentage points. The Central
Bank rediscounts up to 80 percent of the letter of credit at a rate of three percent. During
the review period, the average annual commercial bank interest rate on short-term loans
(one year and less) was 18.63 percent. Since this program is available solely to exporters
and interest rates are less than those for comparable commercially available loans, we
preliminarily determine that this program confers a bounty or grant upon the products
under investigation.
The benefit provided by this program was calculated by applying the interest differential
to the amount of loans taken out during the review period for the days outstanding. We
determined that the most appropriate comparable commercial interest rate was the
average of the monthly weighted average interest rates charged by commercial banks on
secured loans with a duration of one year or less (as published by the Central Bank of the
Philippines). The responses provided information on EPCs used to finance exports to
the United States and, for one producer, on total EPCs. To determine the amount of
benefit to be applied to U.S. exports, we mutiplied the benefit from total EPCs by that
producer's percentage of U.S. exports to total exports, where appropriate. Otherwise, we
used the amount of the benefit received on EPCs used to finance exports to the U.S. We
then allocated the amount of the total benefit received by all producers over total exports
to the U.S. of the products under investigation. On this basis, we calculated a bounty or
grant in the amount of 1.08 percent ad valorem for textiles and 0.80 percent ad valorem
for apparel.
B. Preferential Tax Benefits
Petitioners allege that producers and exporters of the products under investigation
receive a variety of preferential tax benefits under the Export Processing Zone Authority
(EPZA) created by PD 66, as amended by PD 1449, ARticles 48 and 49 of the Omnibus
Investment Code (OIC), and Sections 11 and 12 of the Investment Incentive Policy Act of
1983 (IIPA).
To be eligible for incentives granted by the EPZA a company must be located in one of the
designated export zones. To locate in one of the zones a company is required to export a
certain percentage of its production. Because availability of the incentives is limited to
companies located in the zones, and location in the zones is contingent upon export
performance, we preliminarily determine that Section 17(a) of the PD 66 confers a bounty
or grant on the export of the products under investigation.
The Board of Investments (BOI) is responsible for administering the OIC and IIPA. The
BOI prepares an annual Investment Priority Plan listing the preferred areas of
investment," which designates areas of economic activity. Firms operating in these areas
are entitled to apply for incentives under the OIC and IIPA.
Articles 48 and 49 of the OIC provide for incentives to "registered export producers" and
"registered export traders." A "registered export producer" is defined in the OIC as a
registered producer which manufactures and exports or sells export products that meet
certain standards set by the Board of investments (BOI). A "registered export trader" is
defined as a registered export trading company that trades the products of registered
export producers. Because availability of the incentives is limited to companies
registered under Articles 48 and 49 of the OIC, and registration is contingent upon export
performance, we preliminarily determine that Article 48(b) and 48(f) of the OIC confers
bounties or grants on the export of the products under investigation.
The IIPA, enacted in January 1983, amends the OIC. Section 11 of the IIPA specifically
amends Article 48, and Section 12 amends the OIC to insert new Articles 48-A and 48-B.
Companies which were registered under the OIC prior to January 1983, may continue to
receive the incentives offered under the OIC, or may choose to re-register under the
IIPA. Companies which originally register under the IIPA are eligible only for the
incentives offered by the IIPA. Article 48, as amended by Section 11, offers incentives for
"registered new or expanding export producers." Articles 48-A and 48-B, as inserted by
Section 12, provide for incentives to "registered existing export producers" and
"registered indirect export producers," respectively. Some of the incentives available to
companies under the OIC have been eliminated by the IIPA. Others have been modified
or added. Because registration under Articles 48, 48-A, and 48-B continues to be
contingent upon export performance, we preliminarily determine that Article 48(d) of
the IIPA confers a bounty or grant on the export of the products under investigation.
One of the companies chosen to receive our questionnaire is registered under the EPZA
and located in the Bataan Export Processing Zone. The other companies that responded
to our questionnaire are registered with the BOI as export producers or export traders
under the OIC, or the IIPA.
1. Exemption from Duties on Imported Capital Equipment. Article 48(f) of the OIC, Article
48(a) of the IIPA and Section 17(a) of PD 66 provide for the importation of capital
equipment with a 100 percent exemption of the tariff duties and compensating tax
payable. One textile producer and one apparel producer received an exemption from
duties on the importation of capital equipment during the review period under Article
48(a). One apparel producer received an exemption from duties on the importation of
capital equipment during the review period because of his location in an Export
Processing Zone.
Article 45(d) of the OIC provides for an exemption of 50 percent of the duties on
imported capital equipment and Article 45(a) of the IIPA provides an exemption of 50
percent of the duties on imported capital equipment to nonpioneer domestic producers.
Article 45(d) of the OIC has been determined not to confer a bounty or grant on the basis
that both in law and in practice, it is not limited to a specific enterprise or industry or
group of enterprises or industries. (See "Final Affirmative Countervailing Duty
Determination: Canned Tuna from the Philippines," 48 Fed. Reg. 50133). Therefore, the
difference between the amount of exemption allowed under Article 48(f), 48(a) or Section
17(a) and the amount that would have been allowed (50 percent) had the claims been
filed under Article 45(d) of the OIC, is preliminarily determined to confer a bounty or
grant on the export of the products under investigation. We calculated the benefit by
taking 50 percent of the amount of the exemption taken under the different laws and
allocating that amount over total exports of the products under investigation. On this
basis, we calculated a net bounty or grant, under Article 48(a), in the amount of 0.16
*1610
percent ad valorem for textiles and 0.12 percent ad valorem for apparel. We
calculated a net bounty or grant under Section 17(a), in the amount of 0.01 percent ad
valorem for apparel.
2. Tax Deduction for Direct Labor Costs and Local Raw
Materials. Article 48(b) of the OIC provides a tax deduction for direct labor costs and
local raw materials. A registered export producer may, for the first five years from the
date of its registration or initial commercial operation, deduct from its total taxable
income from domestic and export sales by its registered operation an amount equivalent
to the direct labor costs of its domestic and export products and the local raw material
costs incurred in the production of its export products. The total deduction may not
exceed 25 percent of the company's total export revenue. Five textile producers and
three apparel producers used this incentive during the review period. The benefit
provided by this Article is the amount of tax savings which were claimed on the tax
return filed during the review period. We calculated the benefit by applying the corporate
tax rate to the amount of deduction claimed and then allocating the resulting tax savings
over total exports of the products under investigation. On this basis, we calculated a
bounty or grant in the amount of 0.08 percent ad valorem for textiles and 0.08 percent
ad valorem for apparel.
3. Article 48(d) of the--11PA Tax Credit on Net Local Content. Article 48(d) provides for a
tax credit on net local content of exports for registered new or existing export producers.
One of the companies under investigation responded that it received a tax credit on net
local content due to its registration under PB 391 (11PA). Because receipt of this tax
credit is contingent upon export performance, we preliminarily determine that this
program confers a bounty or grant on the export of the products under investigation. We
calculated the benefit from this program by allocating the amount of the tax credit
received in the year of review over total exports of the products under investigation. On
this basis we calculated a bounty or grant in the amount of 0.12 percent ad valorem for
textiles and 0.09 percent ad valorem for apparel.
C. Development Bank of the Philippines Interest Moratorium. Petitioners allege that the
Development Bank of the Philippines (DBP) has provided equity infusions into
Continental Manufacturing Corporation and Redson Garments on terms inconsistent with
commercial considerations. According to the resonse of the government of the
Philippines, the DBP has not provided equity infusions into either of those companies.
However, the annual report of one of the companies producing textiles indicates that the
DBP has converted outstanding loans and interest payable by that company to the DBP
into that company's common and preferred stock. The report states that the company has
not yet recognized the conversion, due to the necessity of amending its Articles of
Incorporation. The company's annual reports indicate that the company is not making
interest or principal payments on the loans that would be converted. The annual report of
one of the companies producing apparel indicates that, although there is a plan under
which the DBP will convert its outstanding debt to equity in the company, it has not yet
implemented this plan. This company's annual report indicates that the company is not
making interest or principal payments on these loans. Therefore, for our preliminary
determinations, we consider these to be interest free loans in the amount of the debt plus
interest to be converted to equity. We calculated the benefit provided by these loans as
the amount of interest that the company would pay on a short- term loan granted at the
commercial interest rate.
The net benefit is allocated over total sales. On this basis, we calculated a bounty or grant
in the amount of 0.05 percent ad valorem for textiles and 0.24 percent ad valorem for
apparel.
11. Programs Determined Not To Confer Bounties or Grants
We preliminarily determine that bounties or grants are not being provided to
manufacturers, producers, or exporters in the Philippines of certain textile mill
products and apparel under the following programs.
A. Incentives Available Under the Export Processing Zone Authority
1. Preferential Leasing Rates. Petitioners allege that exporters of the products under
investigation located in the Bataan Export Processing Zone (BEPZ) receive land lease
rates and occupancy terms that are much more favorable than comparable rates and
terms in the suburbs of Manila. The responses of the government of the Philippines and
the company located in the BEPZ state that the rates and terms are not favorable. The
annual report of the EPZA indicates that it is not operating at a loss. Due to the differences
in the location and the services available in the different areas of the country, it would be
inappropriate to compare the land lease rates and occupancy terms of the BEPZ and the
suburbs of Manila. Therefore, since the information on the record indicates that the Zone
is not operating at a loss and we have no other information to suggest that the Zone is run
on manifestly uncommercial terms, we preliminarily determine that this program does
not confer a bounty or grant.
2. Tax Deductions. Petitioners allege that exporters of the products under investigation
are eligible for tax deductions for organizational and pre- operating expenses: sales and
compensating taxes and duties on supplies, raw materials, and semimanufactures used in
export production: expansion costs: and labor training costs. The amount of deduction
allowable under the EPZA is the same as the amount that is provided to producers
registered under Article 45 of the OIC. Since Article 45 has been determined not to confer
a bounty or grant on the basis that registration and benefits provided under Article 45 are
not limited to a specific enterprise or industry or group of enterprises or industries (See
"Final Affirmative Countervailing Duty Determination: Canned Tuna from the
Philippines," 48 Fed. Reg. 50133), we preliminarily determine that this program does
not confer a bounty or grant.
B. Additional Incentives Under the Omnibus Investment Code and the Investment
Incentive Policy Act of 1983
1. Loss Carryforward. Petitioners allege that exporters of the products under
investigation are allowed to reduce their taxable income by a carryforward of new
operating losses. One of the producers of the products under investigation reduced their
taxable income by a carryforward of net operating losses. The OIC allows for the
carryforward of net operating losses incurred in any of the first 10 years of operation as a
registered export enterprise. The same provision is available to domestic producers
under Article 45(b) of the OIC. Since Article 45 has been determined not to confer a
bounty or grant on the basis that registration and benefits provided under Article 45 are
not limited to a specific enterprise or industry or group of enterprises or industries (See
"Final Affirmative Countervailing Duty Determination: Canned Tuna from the
Philippines," 48 Fed Reg. 50133), we preliminarily determine that this program does
not confer a bounty or grant.
2. Article 48(c). Petitioners allege that exporters of the products under
*1611
investigation benefit from Article 48(c) of the 11PA that provides for a tax credit on the
net value earned by registered new or expanding export producers. The same provision is
available to domestic producers under Article 45(c) of the 11PA. Since Article 45 has
been determined not to confer a bounty or grant on the basis that registration and
benefits provided under Article 45 are not limited to a specific enterprise or industry or
group of enterprises or industries (See "Final Affirmative Countervailing Duty
Determination: Canned Tuna from the Philippines." 48 FR 50133), we preliminarily
determine that this program does not confer a bounty or grant.
III. Programs Determined Not To Be Used
We preliminarily determine that manufacturers, producers or exporters in the
Philippines of certain textile mill products and apparel did not use the following
programs which were listed in our notice of initiation.
A. Certain Provisions Provided Under the Export Processing Zone Authority
Petitioners allege that the exporters of the products under investigation which are
located in Export Processing Zones, specifically the Bataan Export Processing Zone,
receive the following incentives provided for under the EPZA:
Section 18(a), which provides for a net-operating loss carry-over for zone- registered
enterprises;
Section 18(b), which provides for the use of accelerated depreciation;
Section 18(c), which provides for the exemption from export taxes on the products
exported from an export zone;
Section 18(d), which provides for foreign exchange assistance in the form of priority in
the allocation of foreign exchange;
Section 18(e), which provides for financial assistance to zone-registered enterprises by
conferring on them the same privileges accorded to enterprises approved by and
registered with the BOI under any other law;
Section 18(g), which allows the deduction of labor training expenses;
Section 18(h), which allows the deduction of organizational and operating expenses for 10
years; and
Section 18(i), which provides for a tax credit on supplies, raw materials and
semi-manufactured products used in the manufacture, processing or production of
export products and forming a part thereof.
The responses state that none of the producers which are zone-registered enterprises
used any of these incentives. Therefore, we preliminarily determine that these incentives
were not used.
B. Certain Incentives to Exporters Under the Export Incentives Act and Sections 11 and
12 of the Investment Incentive Policy Act of 1983
Petitioners allege that firms exporting the products under investigation to the U.S. are
receiving countervailable benefits under these laws. Article 48(b) of the OIC provides for
the total exemption from export taxes, duties, imposts, and fees on exported products.
The responses state that exports of textiles and apparel are not otherwise subject to these
taxes. Therefore, we preliminarily determine that these Articles were not used.
IV. Programs for Which Additional Information is Needed
We preliminarily determine that additional information is needed for the following
programs which were listed in our notice of initiation.
A. Foreign Currency Retention Scheme
Petitioners allege that the producers and exporters of the products under investigation
benefit from a so-called export deduction program, under which export-oriented
industries are allowed to use a part of their export proceeds for the repayment of loans
obtained for imports of machinery, raw materials, and other requirements. They state
that normally foreign currency must be surrendered to an authorized agent of the Central
Bank, and that no foreign currency or foreign exchange may leave the Philippines
without approval of the Central Bank. The responses of the individual companies state
that some of the producers of the products under investigation were able to obtain
foreign currency. We will investigate further to determine whether there was any
preference in their ability to obtain such currency.
B. Preferential Access to Foreign Exchange
Petitioners allege that exporters of the products under investigation are given priority
access to foreign exchange for financing imports. In addition, petitioners allege that
exporters of the products under investigation have preferential access to foreign
exchange under a program run by the Philippine International Trading Corporation. The
responses of the individual companies state that some of the producers of the products
under investigation were able to obtain foreign currency. We will investigate further to
determine whether there as any preference in their ability to obtain such currency.
C. Tax Incentives for Preferred Investments
Petitioners allege that the Omnibus Investment Code as amended by the Investment
Incentive Policy act provides that the Board of Investments may grant tax incentives to
preferred producer enterprises. We believe that we have covered all of the tax incentives
of this program in the other sections of this notice.
D. Section 17(f) of PD 66 Creating the Export Processing Zone Authority
Petitioners allege that the Section 17(f) of PD 66 confers a bounty or grant because it
allows for the exemption from local taxes and licenses. As we understand the operation of
these zones they operate as federal government districts in that if taxes were to be paid,
they would be federal not local taxes. We will seek more information on the operation of
these zones for our final determination.
Suspension of Liquidation
In accordance with section 703(d) of the Act we are directing the U.S. Customs Service to
suspend liquidation of all entries of certain textile mill products and apparel from the
Phillipines which are entered or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after
the date of publication of this notice in the Federal Register and to require an ad valorem
cash deposit or bond for each such entry of this merchandise as follows:
----------------------------------------------
Product Ad valorem rate (percent)
----------------------------------------------
Textiles ................................ 1.49
Apparel ................................. 1.33
----------------------------------------------
The following will remain in effect until further notice.
Verification
In accordance with section 776(a) of the Act we will verify the data used in making our
final determination. As previously stated, we will not accept any statement in the
response that cannot be verified in our final determination.
Public Comment
In accordance with section 355.35 of our regulations we will hold a public hearing, if
requested, to afford interested parties an opportunity to comment on these preliminary
determinations at 10:00 a.m. on February 18, 1985, at the U.S. Department of Commerce,
Room 3708, 14th Street and Constitution
*1612
Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20230.
