                    *Preliminary Results*
                     of this administrative review on February 7, 2020.[1]
                    
                     This review covers 253 producers/exporters of subject merchandise, including three mandatory respondents: Canfor,[2]
                    
                     Resolute,[3]
                    
                     and West Fraser.[4]
                    
                     For events subsequent to the 
                    *Preliminary Results, see*

                     The final weighted-average dumping margins are listed below in the “Final Results of Review” section of this notice. Commerce conducted this administrative review in accordance with section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). Scope of the Order The product covered by this review is softwood lumber from Canada. For a full description of the scope, 
                    *see*
                     the IDM. Analysis of Comments Received All issues raised in the case briefs filed in this administrative review are addressed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum (IDM). A list of the topics discussed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum is appended to this notice. The IDM is a public document and is available electronically via Enforcement and Compliance's Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Services System (ACCESS). ACCESS is available to registered users at 
                    *http://access.trade.gov.*
                     In addition, a complete version of the IDM is also accessible at 
                    *http://enforcement.trade.gov/​frn/​index.html.*
                     The signed IDM and the electronic versions of the IDM are identical in content. Changes Since the Preliminary Results Based on our review of the record and comments received from interested parties regarding our 
                    *Preliminary Results,*
                     Commerce has made the following changes to the 
                    *Preliminary Results:* As detailed in the February 28, 2020 Memorandum, “Correction of Company names on the Record,” we revised certain names listed in the*Preliminary Results.*
                     These revisions resulted in the number of stated producers/exporters under review changing from 257 to 253.
                In the*Preliminary Results,*
                     we incorrectly stated the all-others rate established in the LTFV investigation to be 6.58 percent. The correct all-others rate, as stated in the 
                    *Softwood Lumber Order,*
                     is 6.04 percent.[6] We adjusted Canfor's affiliated purchase prices of electricity and an input the identity of which is proprietary by the percentage the affiliated electricity purchases were below market prices.[7] We included Canfor's inventory carrying costs incurred in the United States that were reported in U.S. dollars( print page 76520)
                    in calculating Canfor's final dumping margin.[8] We included Resolute's domestic inventory carrying costs in the constructed export price calculation.[9] Final Results of Review As a result of this administrative review, we are assigning the following weighted-average dumping margins to the manufacturers/exporters listed below for the period of June 30, 2017 through December 31, 2018: Exporter/producer

 Assessment Rates Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), Commerce shall determine, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries of subject merchandise in accordance with the final results of this review. We intend to calculate importer- (or customer-) specific assessment rates on the basis of the ratio of the total amount of antidumping duties calculated for each importer's (or customer's) examined sales and the total entered value of the sales in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). Where an importer- (or customer-) specific rate is zero or 
                    *de minimis*
                     within the meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1), we will instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties. Generally, when calculating margins for non-selected respondents, Commerce looks to section 735(c)(5) of the Act for guidance, which provides instructions for calculating the all-others margin in an investigation. Section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act provides that when calculating the all-others margin, Commerce will exclude any zero and 
                    *de minimis*
                     weighted-average dumping margins, as well as any weighted-average dumping margins based on total facts available. Accordingly, Commerce's usual practice has been to average the margins for selected respondents, excluding margins that are zero, 
                    *de minimis,*
                     or based entirely on facts available. In this review, we calculated a weighted-average dumping margin of 1.99 percent for Canfor, 1.15 percent for Resolute, and 1.40 percent for West Fraser. In accordance with section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act, Commerce assigned the weighted-average of these three calculated weighted-average dumping margins, 1.57 percent, to the non-selected companies in these final results. The rate calculated for the non-selected companies is a weighted-average percentage margin which is calculated based on the U.S. values of the three reviewed companies with an affirmative antidumping duty margin.[10]
                    
                     Accordingly, we have applied a rate of 1.57 percent to the non-selected companies.[11]
                    
                     A list of all non-selected companies is included in Attachment II. For entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by each respondent for which it did not know its merchandise was destined for the United States, we will instruct CBP to liquidate such entries at the all-others rate if there is no rate for the intermediate company or companies involved in the transaction. We intend to issue liquidation instructions to CBP 15 days after publication of the final results of this administrative review. Cash Deposit Requirements The following cash deposit requirements will be effective for all shipments of subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date of these final results, as provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) The cash deposit rate for the companies under review will be equal to the weighted-average dumping margin listed above in the “Final Results of Review” section; (2) for merchandise exported by producers or exporters not covered in this review but covered in a previously completed segment of this proceeding, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the company-specific rate published in the final results for the most recent period in which that producer or exporter participated; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this review or in any previous segment of this proceeding, but the producer is, then the cash deposit rate will be that established for the producer of the merchandise in these final results of review or in the final results for the most recent period in which that producer participated; and (4) if neither the exporter nor the producer is a firm covered in this review or in any previously completed segment of this proceeding, then the cash deposit rate will be 6.04 percent 
                    *ad valorem,*
                     the all-others rate established in the less than fair value investigation.[12]
                    
                     These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice. Notification to Importers This notice serves as a final 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 POR. Failure to comply with this requirement could result in Commerce's presumption that reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of doubled antidumping duties. Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Order This notice is the only reminder to parties subject to the administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information disclosed under the APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), which 
                    ( print page 76521)
                    continues to govern business proprietary information in this segment of the proceeding. Timely written notification of the return or destruction of APO materials, or conversion to judicial protective order, is hereby requested. Failure to comply with the regulations and the terms of an APO is a violation subject to sanction. Notification to Interested Parties We are issuing and publishing these final results and this notice in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h). Dated: November 23, 2020. Joseph A. Laroski Jr., Deputy Assistant Secretary for Policy and Negotiations.
