SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:  Background Commerce selected Jiangsu Senmao and Fine Furniture as mandatory respondents in this administrative review of the countervailing duty (CVD) order on MLWF from the PRC.[1]
                    
                     Commerce published the 
                    *Preliminary Results*
                     of the administrative review in the 
                    **Federal Register**
                     on December 7, 2017.[2]
                    
                     We invited interested parties to comment on the 
                    *Preliminary Results.*
                     On January 2, 2018, we received a case brief from Dun Hua Sen Tai Wood Co., Ltd.[3]
                    
                     On January 16, 2018, we received case briefs from the Government of the People's Republic of China (GOC) and Fine Furniture.[4]
                    
                     No party filed a rebuttal brief. Commerce exercised its discretion to toll all deadlines affected by the closure of the Federal Government from January 20 through 22, 2018. After revising the deadline for tolling the due date for the final results of this administrative review as a result of the shutdown of the Federal Government, we extended the deadline for the final results to June 8, 2018.[5] Scope of the Order The product covered by the 
                    *Order*
                     is multilayered wood flooring from the PRC. For a complete description of the scope of the order, 
                    *see*
                     the Issues and Decision Memorandum.[6] Analysis of Comments Received All issues raised in the parties' briefs are addressed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum. A list of the issues addressed is attached to this notice at Appendix I. The Issues and 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 
                    *http://access.trade.gov*
                     and in the Central Records Unit, Room B8024 of the main Department building. In addition, a complete version of the Issues and Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly at 
                    *http://enforcement.trade.gov/​frn/​.*
                     The signed Issues and Decision Memorandum and the electronic version of the Issues and Decision Memorandum are identical in content. Methodology Commerce conducted 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 find that there is a subsidy, 
                    *i.e.,*
                     a government-provided financial contribution that gives rise to a benefit to the recipient, and that the subsidy is specific.[7]
                    
                     The Issues and Decision Memorandum contains a full description of the methodology underlying Commerce's conclusions, including any determination that relied upon the use of adverse facts available pursuant to sections 776(a) and (b) of the Act. Partial Rescission of Administrative Review As noted in the 
                    *Preliminary Results,*
                     Commerce timely received no-shipment certifications from Changbai Mountain Development and Protection Zone Hongtu Wood Industrial Co., Ltd., Jiangsu Yuhui International Trade Co., Ltd., Jiaxing Hengtong Wood Co., Ltd., and Zhejiang Shuimojiangnan New Material Technology Co., Ltd. We inquired with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) whether these companies had shipped merchandise to the United States during the POR, and CBP provided no evidence to contradict the claims of no shipments made by these companies. Accordingly, we stated its intention to rescind the review with respect to these companies in the 
                    *Preliminary Results.*
                     As the facts have remained the same since the 
                    *Preliminary Results,*
                     we are rescinding the administrative review of these companies, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3). Jiangsu Keri Wood Co., Ltd. (Jiangsu Keri Wood) and Linyi Bonn Flooring Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (Linyi Bonn) also timely filed no-shipment certifications. However, both companies subsequently withdrew their no-shipment submissions. Therefore, we are including Jiangsu Keri Wood and Linyi Bonn in this administrative review for purposes of the final results. Rate for Non-Selected Companies Under Review In this review, in addition to the two selected mandatory respondents, there are 105 companies for which a review was requested and not rescinded, but which were not selected for individual examination (non-selected respondents). For these companies, we applied the rate of mandatory respondent, Fine Furniture, the only above 
                    *de minimis*
                     rate calculated in this review. For further information on the calculation of the non-selected rate, refer to the section in the Issues and Decision Memorandum entitled, “
                    *Ad Valorem*
                     Rate for Non-Selected Companies Under Review.”
                    ( print page 27752) Final Results of Administrative Review In accordance with 19 CFR 351.221(b)(4)(i), we determine the following net subsidy rates for the 2015 administrative review: Producer/exporter
