 FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dennis McClure or Suzanne Lam, AD/CVD Operations, Office VIII, Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20230; telephone: 202-482-5973 or 202-482-0783, respectively.


SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:. Background On December 8, 2011, Commerce issued a countervailing duty (CVD) order on multilayered wood flooring from the PRC.[1]
                    
                     Interested parties requested that Commerce conduct an administrative review of the countervailing duty order,[2]
                    
                     and on February 23, 2018, Commerce published in the 
                    **Federal Register**
                     a notice of initiation of an administrative review of the 
                    *Order*
                     on 149 producers/exporters for the period of review (POR).[3] Scope of the Order The product covered by the 
                    *Order*
                     is wood flooring from the PRC. For a complete description of the scope of this administrative review, 
                    *see*
                     the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.[4] Rescission of Administrative Review, in Part Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Secretary will rescind an administrative review, in whole or in part, if the parties that requested a review withdraw the request within 90 days of the date of publication of the notice of initiation of the requested review. This review was initiated on February 23, 2018. On March 14, 2018, Huzhou Jesonwood submitted a withdrawal request within the 90-day deadline.[5]
                    
                     On May 7, 2018, Dalian Penghong and 15 other companies submitted withdrawal requests.[6]
                    
                     The petitioner filed withdrawal requests for Dalian Penghong, Dunhua City Jisen Wood Industry Co., Ltd (Dunhua City Jisen), and Dalian Shumaike Floor Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (Dalian Shumaike).[7]
                    
                     All of the withdrawal requests submitted above were within the 90-day deadline. Therefore, because there are no remaining requests to review the following companies, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), and consistent with our practice, we are rescinding this review with respect to Dalian Penghong, Dalian Shumaike, Dunhau City Jisen, Fusong Jinqui, Huzhou Jesonwood, and Shanghaifloor. Intent To Rescind Administrative Review, in Part We received timely filed no-shipment certifications from eight companies.[8]
                    
                     Commerce issued no-shipment inquiries to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) requesting any information that may contradict the no-shipment claims. We have not received information from CBP to date that contradicts Anhui Boya Bamboo & Wood Products Co., Ltd.'s, Chinafloors Timber (China) Co., Ltd.'s, Jiangsu Keri Wood Co., Ltd.'s, Jiashan On-Line Lumber Co., Ltd.'s, Kingman Floors Co., Ltd.'s, Linyi Bonn Flooring Manufacturing Co., Ltd.'s, and Zhejiang Shiyou Timber Co., Ltd.'s claims of no sales, shipments or entries of subject merchandise to the United States during the POR.[9]
                    
                     Because these companies timely filed their no-shipment certifications and CBP has not provided information that contradicts the companies' claims, we preliminarily intend to rescind the review of these companies. Absent any evidence of shipments being placed on the record, 
                    ( print page 67230)
                    pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), we intend to rescind the administrative review of these companies in the final results of review. On October 29, 2018, Huzhou Muyun Wood Co., Ltd. (Muyun Wood) filed a no-shipment certification.[10]
                    
                     On November 13, 2018, we rejected Muyun Wood's request for no-shipment status because the request was untimely filed.[11]
                    
                     Consequently, Muyun Wood continues to be subject to this administrative review. Hunchun Forest timely filed a no-shipment certification.[12]
                    
                     However, Hunchun Forest subsequently withdrew its no-shipment submssion.[13]
                    
                     Therefore, we are continuing to include Hunchun Forest in this administrative review for purposes of the preliminary results. Methodology Commerce is conducting this review in accordance with section 751(a)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (Act). For each of the subsidy programs found countervailable, we preliminarily determine that there is a subsidy, 
                    *i.e.,*
                     a financial contribution by an “authority” that confers a benefit to the recipient, and that the subsidy is specific.[14]
                    
                     For a full description of the methodology underlying our preliminary conclusions, 
                    *see*
                     the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. The Preliminary Decision Memorandum is a public document and is on file electronically

Rate for Non-Selected Companies Under Review There are 132 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, we are preliminarily applying the average of the rates calculated for the mandatory respondents, Jiangsu Senmao Bamboo Wood Industry Co., Ltd. (Jiangsu Senmao) and Riverside Plywood Corp. (Riverside Plywood), which are above 
                    *de minimis.*
