Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 

FR 23954 (May 6, 2003). 9See Order, 87 FR at 935. 

Disclosure 

Commerce intends to disclose the 

calculations performed for Kaptan in 

connection with these final results to 

interested parties within five days of the 

date of publication of this notice, in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). 

Assessment Rates 

Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the 

Act, and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), 

Commerce has determined, 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. 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), 

because both Colakoglu Metalurji A.S./ 

Colakoglu Dis Ticaret A.S. (collectively, 

Colakoglu) and Kaptan reported the 

entered value for their U.S. sales, we 

calculated importer-specific ad valorem 

antidumping duty assessment rates 

based on the ratio of the total amount of 

antidumping duties calculated for the 

examined sales to the total entered 

value of those same sales. Where either 

a respondent’s weighted-average 

dumping margin is zero or de minimis 

within the meaning of 19 CFR 

351.106(c)(1), or an importer-specific 

assessment rate is zero or de minimis, 

we will instruct CBP to liquidate the 

appropriate entries without regard to 

antidumping duties. For the companies 

identified in Appendix II that were not 

selected for individual examination, we 

will instruct CBP to liquidate entries at 

the rate established in these final results 

of review. 

Commerce’s ‘‘automatic assessment’’ 

practice will apply to entries of subject 

merchandise during the POR produced 

by Colakoglu or Kaptan for which the 

producer did not know that the 

merchandise it sold to the intermediary 

(e.g., a reseller, trading company, or 

exporter) was destined for the United 

States. In such instances, we will 

instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed 

entries at the all-others rate if there is no 

rate for the intermediate company(ies) 

involved in the transaction.8

Commerce intends to issue 

assessment instructions to CBP no 

earlier than 35 days after the date of 

publication of the final results of this 

review in the Federal Register. If a 

timely summons is filed at the U.S. 

Court of International Trade, the 

assessment instructions will direct CBP 

not to liquidate relevant entries until the 

time for parties to file a request for a 

statutory injunction has expired (i.e., 

within 90 days of publication). 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following cash deposit 

requirements will be effective for all 

shipments of the subject merchandise 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after the 

publication date of the final results of 

this administrative review, 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 that 

is established in the final results of this 

review, except if the rate is less than 

0.50 percent and, therefore, de minimis 

within the meaning of 19 CFR 

351.106(c)(1), in which case the cash 

deposit rate will be zero; (2) for 

previously investigated or reviewed 

companies not covered in this review, 

the cash deposit rate will continue to be 

the company-specific rate published for 

the most recently completed segment of 

this proceeding in which the company 

participated; (3) if the exporter is not a 

firm covered in this review, or the lessthan-fair-value (LTFV) investigation, but 

the manufacturer is, the cash deposit 

rate will be the cash deposit rate 

established for the most recently 

completed segment for the producer of 

the subject merchandise; and (4) the 

cash deposit rate for all other producers 

or exporters will continue to be 3.90 

percent, the all-others rate established 

in the LTFV investigation.9 These 

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 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, and/or increase in 

the amount of antidumping duties by 

the amount of the countervailing duties. 

Administrative Protective Order (APO) 

This notice serves as the only 

reminder to parties subject to APO of 

their responsibility concerning the 

disposition of proprietary information 

disclosed under APO in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), which 

continues to govern business 

proprietary information in this segment 

of the proceeding. Timely written 

notification of return/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 

sanctionable violation. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

This notice is issued and published in 

accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 

777(i)(1) of the Act. 

Dated: December 20, 2023.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On December 8, 2011, Commerce 

issued a countervailing duty order on 

wood flooring from China.1 The 

American Manufacturers of 

Multilayered Wood Flooring (the 

petitioner) and other interested parties 

requested that Commerce conduct an 

administrative review of the Order. On 

February 2, 2023, Commerce published 

in the Federal Register a notice of 

initiation of an administrative review of 

the Order.2 We initiated an 

administrative review with respect to 86 

producers/exporters of wood flooring 

from China for the POR. 

For events that occurred since the 

Initiation Notice, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum.3 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. In addition, a 

complete version of the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum can be accessed 

at https://access.trade.gov/public/ 

FRNoticesListLayout.aspx. A list of 

topics discussed in the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum is included as 

Appendix I to this notice. 

Scope of the Order 

The product covered by the Order is 

wood flooring from China. For a 

complete description of the scope of the 

Order, see the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum. 

Final Rescission of Review, in Part 

On September 27, 2023, Commerce 

notified interested parties that we 

intended to rescind this administrative 

review with respect to the companies 

listed in Appendix II, in the absence of 

suspended entries during the POR.4 No 

party commented on our Intent to 

Rescind Memorandum. As a result, we 

are rescinding this review, in part, with 

respect to the 70 companies listed in 

Appendix II, pursuant to 19 CFR 

351.213(d)(3) and (4). 

In addition, the following parties 

submitted no-shipment certifications: 

Anhui Longhua Bamboo Product Co., 

Ltd.; Benxi Flooring Factory (General 

Partnership); Dalian Jiahong Wood 

Industry Co., Ltd.; Dalian Shengyu 

Science and Technology Development 

Co., Ltd.; Dongtai Fuan Universal 

Dynamics, LLC; Dunhua City Dexin 

Wood Industry Co., Ltd.; Dunhua 

Shengda Wood Industry Co., Ltd.; 

HaiLin LinJing Wooden Products Co., 

Ltd.; Jiangsu Keri Wood Co., Ltd.; 

Jiangsu Mingle Flooring Co., Ltd.; 

Jiangsu Simba Flooring Co., Ltd.; 

Jiashan On-Line Lumber Co., Ltd.; 

Kingman Wood Industry Co., Ltd.; Pinge 

Timber Manufacturing (Zhejiang) Co., 

Ltd. (Pinge Timber); Power Dekor Group 

Co. Ltd.; Sino-Maple (Jiangsu) Co., Ltd.; 

Suzhou Dongda Wood Co., Ltd.; 

Tongxiang Jisheng Import and Export 

Co., Ltd.; Zhejiang Dadongwu Green 

Home Wood Co., Ltd.; and Zhejiang 

Shiyou Timber Co., Ltd. All of these 

companies were included in the Intent 

to Rescind Memorandum with the 

exception of Pinge Timber.5 Therefore, 

as explained above, we are rescinding 

the review with regard to all these 

companies, except for Pinge Timber. 

Our analysis of the U.S. Customs and 

Border (CBP) information placed on the 

record shows that Pinge Timber made 

shipments of subject merchandise 

during the POR.6 Therefore, we are 

preliminarily treating Pinge Timber as a 

non-selected company under review. 

For further discussion on the decision 

not to rescind the review with respect 

to Pinge Timber’s entry, see the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum. 

Methodology 

Commerce is conducting this review 

in accordance with section 751(a)(1)(A) 

of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 

(the Act). For each of the subsidy 

programs found to be 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.7 For a full description of the 

methodology underlying our 

preliminary conclusions, including our 

reliance, in part, on adverse facts 

available pursuant to sections 776(a) 

and (b) of the Act, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum. 

Preliminary Rate for Non-Selected 

Companies Under Review 

As discussed above, Commerce 

initiated this administrative review with 

respect to 86 producers/exporters. We 

are rescinding the review for 70 

companies listed in Appendix II that 

had no suspended entries during the 

POR. As discussed above, this group 

includes 19 companies that certified no 

shipments during the POR. In addition, 

Commerce selected two mandatory 

respondents, Jiangsu Senmao Bamboo 

and Wood Industry Co., Ltd. (Jiangsu 

Senmao) and Riverside Plywood Corp. 

(Riverside Plywood) for individual 

examination.8 For the remaining 12 

companies subject to this review, but 

not selected for individual examination, 

because the rates calculated for 

mandatory respondents Jiangsu Senmao 

and Riverside Plywood were above de 

minimis and not based entirely on facts 

available, we applied a subsidy rate 

based on a weighted-average of the 

subsidy rates calculated for these 

mandatory respondents using the 

publicly ranged sales data they 

submitted on the record. This 

methodology is consistent with our 

practice for establishing an all-others 

subsidy rate pursuant to section 

705(c)(5)(A) of the Act. For further 

information on the calculation of the 

non-selected respondent rate, see the

Preliminary Results of the Review 

In accordance with 19 CFR 

351.221(b)(4)(i), we calculated a

Senmao and Riverside Plywood, and 

their cross-owned affiliates, where 

applicable. We preliminarily find the 

following countervailable subsidy rates 

to exist:

proceedings we have encouraged 

interested parties to provide an 

executive summary of their brief that 

should be limited to five pages total, 

including footnotes. In this review, we 

instead request that interested parties 

provide at the beginning of their briefs 

a public, executive summary for each 

issue raised in their briefs.15 Further, we 

request that interested parties limit their 

executive summary of each issue to no 

more than 450 words, not including 

citations. We intend to use the executive 

summaries as the basis of the comment 

summaries included in the issues and 

decision memorandum that will 

accompany the final results in this 

administrative review. We request that 

interested parties include footnotes for 

relevant citations in the executive 

summary of each issue. Note that 

Commerce has amended certain of its 

requirements pertaining to the service of 

documents in 19 CFR 351.303(f).16

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), 

interested parties who wish to request a 

hearing must submit a written request to

will be limited to those raised in the 

respective case briefs. An electronically 

filed hearing request must be received 

successfully in its entirety by 

Commerce’s electronic records system, 

ACCESS, by 5 p.m. Eastern Time within 

30 days after the date of publication of 

this notice. 

Final Results 

Unless the deadline is 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 and 19 CFR 

351.213(h). 

Assessment Rates 

In accordance with 19 CFR 

351.221(b)(4)(i), we are preliminarily 

assigning subsidy rates in the amounts 

shown above for the producer/exporters 

subject to review. Upon completion of 

the administrative review, consistent 

with section 751(a)(1) of the Act and 19 

CFR 351.212(b)(2), Commerce shall 

determine, and CBP shall assess, 

countervailing duties on all appropriate 

entries covered by this review. 

For the companies for which this 

review is rescinded, Commerce will 

instruct CBP to assess countervailing 

duties on all appropriate entries at a rate 

equal to the cash deposit of estimated 

countervailing duties required at the 

time of entry, or withdrawal from 

warehouse, for consumption, during the 

period January 1, 2021, through 

December 31, 2021, in accordance with 

19 CFR 351.212(c)(l)(i). Commerce 

intends to issue assessment instructions 

to CBP no earlier than 35 days after the 

date of publication of the preliminary 

results of this review in the Federal 

Register. 

For the companies for which this 

review is not rescinded, Commerce 

intends to issue assessment instructions 

to CBP no earlier than 35 days after the 

date of publication of the final results of 

this review in the Federal Register. If a 

timely summons is filed at the U.S. 

Court of International Trade, the 

assessment instructions will direct CBP 

not to liquidate relevant entries until the 

time for parties to file a request for a 

statutory injunction has expired (i.e., 

within 90 days of publication). 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

In accordance with section 751(a)(1) 

of the Act, Commerce intends, upon 

publication of the final results, to 

instruct CBP to collect cash deposits of 

estimated countervailing duties in the 

amounts shown for each of the 

respective companies listed above and 

in Appendix III on shipments of subject 

merchandise entered, or withdrawn 

from warehouse, for consumption on or 

after the date of publication of the final 

results of this administrative review. For 

all non-reviewed firms, we will instruct 

CBP to continue to collect cash deposits 

at the most recent company-specific or 

all-others rate applicable to the 

company. These cash deposit 

requirements, when imposed, shall 

remain in effect until further notice. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

These preliminary results are issued 

and published pursuant to sections 

751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 

CFR 351.221(b)(4).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

NMFS Alaska Region administers the 

IFQ Program in the North Pacific. The 

IFQ Program is a limited access system 

authorized by the Magnuson-Stevens 

Fishery Conservation and Management 

Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act) and the 

Northern Pacific Halibut Act of 1982 

(Halibut Act). Fishing under the IFQ 

Program began in March 1995. 

Regulations implementing the IFQ 

Program are set forth at 50 CFR part 679. 

In 1996, the Magnuson-Stevens Act 

was amended to, among other purposes, 

require the Secretary of Commerce to 

collect a fee to recover the actual costs 

directly related to the management and 

enforcement of any individual quota 

program. This requirement was further 

amended in 2006 to include collection 

of the actual costs of data collection and 

to replace the reference to ‘‘individual 

quota program’’ with a more general 

reference to ‘‘limited access privilege 

program’’ at section 304(d)(2)(A) of the 

Magnuson-Stevens Act. Section 

304(d)(2) of the Magnuson-Stevens Act 

also specifies an upper limit on these 

fees, when the fees must be collected, 

and where the fees must be deposited. 

On March 20, 2000, NMFS published 

regulations at § 679.45 to implement 

cost recovery for the IFQ Program (65 

FR 14919, March 20, 2000). Under the 

regulations, an IFQ permit holder must 

pay a cost recovery fee for every pound 

of IFQ halibut and sablefish that is 

landed on their IFQ permit(s), including 

any halibut that is landed as guided 

angler fish. The IFQ permit holder is 

responsible for self-collecting the fee for 

all IFQ halibut and sablefish landings 

on their permit(s). The IFQ permit 

holder is also responsible for submitting
