Notification to Importers 

This notice also serves as a 

preliminary reminder to importers of 

their responsibility under 19 CFR 

351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate 

regarding the reimbursement of 

antidumping duties prior to liquidation 

of the relevant entries during this 

review period. Failure to comply with 

this requirement could result in 

Commerce’s presumption that 

reimbursement of antidumping duties 

occurred and the subsequent assessment 

of double antidumping duties. 

We are issuing and publishing these 

results in accordance with sections 

751(a)(2)(B) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 

19 CFR 351.214.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Scope of the Order 1

The product covered by the Order is 

wood flooring from China. For a 

complete description of the scope of this 

administrative review, see the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum.2

Partial Rescission of Review 

We initiated a review of 146 

companies and the China-wide entity 

for this segment of the proceeding.3 All 

requests for review of the following 

producers/exporters were timely 

withdrawn: Dalian Penghong Floor 

Products Co., Ltd. (Dalian Penghong), 

Dalian Shumaike Floor Manufacturing 

Co., Ltd., Fusong Jinqiu Wooden 

Product Co., Ltd., Huzhou Jesonwood 

Co., Ltd. (Huzhou Jesonwood), and 

Dunhua City Jisen Wood Industry Co., 

Ltd. (Jisen Wood).4 Additionally, the 

Order was revoked with respect to the 

following companies: Armstrong Wood 

Products (Kunshan) Co., Ltd., Fine 

Furniture (Shanghai) Limited and 

Double F Limited, and Jisen Wood.5

Lastly, we inadvertently initiated the 

review with respect to Baroque Timber 

Industries (Zhongshan) Co., Ltd., 

despite no request for review of this 

company.6 Accordingly, Commerce is 

rescinding the administrative review 

with respect to these eight 

companies.7 See Appendix II for a 

complete list of these companies. 

Preliminary Determination of No 

Shipments 

Based on an analysis of information 

from U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection (CBP), no shipment 

certifications, and other record 

information, we preliminarily determine 

that 18 companies had no shipments of 

subject merchandise during the period

of review (POR).8 For additional 

information regarding this 

determination, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum. Consistent with 

our practice in non-market economy 

(NME) cases, we are not rescinding this 

administrative review with respect to 

these companies but, rather, intend to 

complete the review and issue 

appropriate instructions to CBP based 

on the final results of the review.9

Separate Rates 

We preliminarily determine that, in 

addition to mandatory respondents, 

Jiangsu Senmao Bamboo and Wood 

Industry Co., Ltd. (Jiangsu Senmao), and 

Sino-Maple (Jiangsu) Co., Ltd. (SinoMaple), 59 companies not individually 

examined are eligible for separate rates 

in this review.10 The statute and 

Commerce’s regulations do not address 

the establishment of a rate to be applied 

to individual respondents not selected 

for individual examination when 

Commerce limits its examination in an 

administrative review pursuant to 

section 777A(c)(2) of the Tariff Act of 

1930, as amended (the Act). Generally, 

Commerce looks to section 735(c)(5) of 

the Act, which provides instructions for 

calculating the all-others rate in an 

investigation, for guidance when 

calculating the rate for separate-rate 

respondents which Commerce did not 

examine individually in an 

administrative review. For the 

preliminary results of this review, 

Commerce has determined the 

estimated dumping margin for each of 

the individually examined respondents 

to be zero or based entirely on facts 

otherwise available.11 As a result, 

following the guidance in section 

735(c)(5)(b) of the Act, we assigned to 

all eligible non-selected respondents the 

simple average of the separate rates 

assigned to Jiangsu Senmao and SinoMaple for the preliminary results of this 

review. 

The China-Wide Entity 

Commerce’s policy regarding 

conditional review of the China-wide 

entity applies to this administrative 

review.12 Under this policy, the Chinawide entity will not be under review 

unless a party specifically requests, or 

Commerce self-initiates, a review of the 

entity. A request for a review of the 

China-wide entity was made in this 

review.13 Therefore, the China-wide 

entity is subject to this administrative 

review. 

Aside from the companies we 

preliminarily find made no shipments 

and those companies for which the 

review is being rescinded, Commerce 

considers all other companies for which 

a review was requested and which did 

not demonstrate separate rate eligibility 

to be part of the China-wide entity.14

For the preliminary results of this 

review, we consider 59 companies to be 

part of the China-wide entity. For 

additional information, see the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum. 

Application of Adverse Facts Available 

(AFA) 

We preliminarily determine that the 

use of facts otherwise available is 

warranted with respect to the Chinawide entity, in accordance with sections 

776(a)(1) and (a)(2)(A)–(C) of the Act, 

because the China-wide entity failed to 

provide necessary information, 

withheld information requested by 

Commerce, and significantly impeded 

the proceeding by not responding to 

Commerce’s quantity and value 

questionnaire.15 Further, pursuant to 

section 776(b) of the Act, we 

preliminarily determine that, because 

the China-wide entity failed to 

cooperate by not acting to the best of its 

ability, an adverse inference is 

warranted. 

We also determine that the use of 

facts otherwise available is warranted 

with respect to Sino-Maple, in 

accordance with sections 776(a)(1) and 

(a)(2)(A)–(C) of the Act, because SinoMaple failed to provide necessary 

information, withheld information 

requested by Commerce, and 

significantly impeded the proceeding, 

by not reporting the nature of its 

relationship with a U.S. affiliate and 

certain sales information. Further, 

pursuant to section 776(b) of the Act, we 

preliminarily determine that, because 

Sino-Maple failed to cooperate by not 

acting to the best of its ability, an 

adverse inference is warranted. 

For additional information, see the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum. 

Methodology 

We are conducting this review in 

accordance with section 751(a)(1)(B) of 

the Act. We calculated export prices for 

Jiangsu Senmao in accordance with 

section 772 of the Act. Because China is 

an NME within the meaning of section 

771(18) of the Act, we calculated NV in 

accordance with section 773(c) of the 

Act. Additionally, as discussed above, 

we are basing Sino-Maple’s estimated 

dumping margin entirely on facts 

otherwise available. 

For a full description of the 

methodology underlying our 

conclusions, 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 and in the 

Central Records Unit, Room B8024 of 

the main Commerce building. In 

addition, a complete version of the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum can 

be accessed directly on the internet at 

http://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/ 

index.html. The signed Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum and the 

electronic version of the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum are identical in 

content. A list of topics discussed in the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum is 

included as Appendix I to this notice. 

Preliminary Results of Review 

In this administrative review, we 

preliminarily calculated a weightedaverage dumping margin for Jiangsu 

Senmao of zero.16 As total AFA, we 

assigned to Sino-Maple the highest 

transaction-specific margin calculated 

for any respondent in this segment of 

the proceeding, or 96.51 percent.17 As 

discussed above, for the 59 additional 

companies subject to this review that 

established separate rate eligibility, we 

assigned a simple average of the 

separate rates assigned to Jiangsu 

Senmao and Sino-Maple, or 48.26 


amozie on DSK3GDR082PROD with NOTICES1
65632 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 245 / Friday, December 21, 2018 / Notices 

percent. Further, as noted, the Chinawide entity is subject to this 

administrative review, and therefore, 

the rate established in the investigation 

of 25.62 percent is subject to change. As 

total AFA, we also preliminarily 

assigned a rate of 96.51 percent to the 

China-wide entity. For additional 

information, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum. 

For the 61 companies subject to this 

review that have established their 

eligibility for a separate rate, and the 

China-wide entity, we preliminarily 

determine that the following estimated 

dumping margins exist for the period 

December 1, 2016, through November 

30, 2017:

Disclosure and Public Comment 

We intend to disclose to interested 

parties the calculations performed for 

these preliminary results within five 

days of the date of publication of this 

notice in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.224(b). Interested parties may 

submit case briefs no later than 30 days 

after the date of publication of these 

preliminary results of review.18

Rebuttals to case briefs may be filed no 

later than five days after the written 

comments are filed, and all rebuttal 

comments must be limited to comments 

raised in the case briefs.19

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; 

and (3) a table of authorities. 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), 

interested parties who wish to request a 

hearing, limited to issues raised in the 

case and rebuttal briefs, must submit a 

written request to the Assistant 

Secretary for Enforcement and 

Compliance, U.S. Department of 

Commerce, 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 discussed. If a 

request for a hearing is made, we intend 

to hold the hearing at the U.S. 

Department of Commerce, 1401 

Constitution Avenue NW, Washington, 

DC 20230, at a time and date to be 

determined. Parties should confirm by 

telephone the date, time, and location of 

the hearing two days before the 

scheduled date. 

Unless otherwise extended, we intend 

to issue the final results of this 

administrative review, which will 

include the results of our analysis of the 

issues raised in the case briefs, within 

120 days of publication of these 

preliminary results in the Federal 

Register, pursuant to section 

751(a)(3)(A) of the Act. 

Assessment Rates 

Upon issuance of the final results, 

Commerce will determine, and CBP 

shall assess, antidumping duties on all 

appropriate entries covered by this 

review, in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.212(b). We intend to issue 

appropriate assessment instructions 

with respect to the companies for which 

this review is rescinded to CBP 15 days 

after the publication of this notice. 

For the companies for which this 

review is rescinded, antidumping duties 

shall be assessed at rates equal to the 

cash deposit of estimated antidumping 

duties required at the time of entry, or 

withdrawal from warehouse, for 

consumption, in accordance with 19 

CFR 351.212(c)(1)(i). For the 

respondents that were not selected for 

individual examination in this 

administrative review that qualified for 

a separate rate, the assessment rate will 

be equal to the simple average of the 

estimated dumping margins assigned to 

Jiangsu Senmao and Sino-Maple in the 

final results of this review.20 For the 

final results, if we continue to base the 

China-wide entity and Sino-Maple’s 

estimated dumping margin on total 

adverse facts available, we will instruct 

CBP to apply an ad valorem assessment 

rate of 96.51 percent to all entries of 

subject merchandise during the POR 

which were produced and/or exported 

by those entities. 

If, in the final results, Jiangsu 

Senmao’s weighted-average dumping 

margin continues to be zero or de 

minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent), 

Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate 

the appropriate entries without regard to 

antidumping duties. For entries that 

were not reported in the U.S. sales 

databases submitted by the company 

individually examined during this 

review, Commerce will instruct CBP to 

liquidate such entries at the China-wide 

rate. In addition, if we continue to find 

no shipments of subject merchandise for 

the 18 companies for which we 

preliminarily find no such shipments 

during the POR,21 any suspended 

entries of subject merchandise from 

those companies will be liquidated at 

the China-wide rate.22

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following cash deposit 

requirements will be effective upon 

publication of the final results of this 

administrative review for all shipments 

of the subject merchandise from China 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after the 

publication date, as provided for by 

section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For 

the companies listed above that have a 

separate rate, the cash deposit rate will 

be that rate established in the final 

results of this review (except, if the rate 

is de minimis, then a cash deposit rate 

of zero will be required); (2) for 

previously investigated or reviewed 

Chinese and non-Chinese exporters for 

which a review was not requested and 

that received a separate rate in a prior 

segment of this proceeding, the cash 

deposit rate will continue to be the 

existing exporter-specific rate; (3) for all 

Chinese exporters of subject 

merchandise that have not been found 

to be entitled to a separate rate, the cash 

deposit rate will be the rate for the 

China-wide entity, as discussed above; 

and (4) for all non-China exporters of 

subject merchandise that have not 

received their own rate, the cash deposit 

rate will be the rate applicable to China 

exporter(s) that supplied that non-China 

exporter. These cash deposit 

requirements, when imposed, shall 

remain in effect until further notice. 

Notification to Importers 

This notice also serves as a 

preliminary reminder to importers of 

their responsibility under 19 CFR 

351.402(f) to file a certificate regarding 

the reimbursement of antidumping and/ 

or countervailing duties prior to 

liquidation of the relevant entries 

during this review period. Failure to 

comply with this requirement could 

result in Commerce’s presumption that 

reimbursement of antidumping and/or 

countervailing duties occurred and the 

subsequent assessment of double 

antidumping duties. 

We are issuing and publishing these 

preliminary results of review in 

accordance with sections 751(a)(l) and 

777(i)(l) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.221(b)(4). 

Dated: December 17, 2018. 

Gary Taverman, 

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping 

and Countervailing Duty Operations, 

performing the non-exclusive functions and 

duties of the Assistant Secretary for 

Enforcement and Compliance.
