plywood products (hardwood plywood) 

from the People’s Republic of China 

(China) under review had no shipments 

of subject merchandise during the 

period of review (POR) January 1, 2020, 

through December 31, 2020. Commerce 

also preliminary determines that the 

remaining 39 remaining companies 

subject to this review are part of the 

China-wide entity because they did not 

demonstrate eligibility for separate 

rates.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On March 4, 2021, Commerce 

published in the Federal Register a 

notice of initiation of an administrative 

review of the antidumping duty (AD) 

order 1 on hardwood plywood from 

China with respect to 56 exporters.2

Subsequently, we released U.S. Customs 

and Border Protection (CBP) data to 

interested parties for comment.3 We 

received comments from the petitioner.4

No other interested party commented on 

the CBP data. 

From March 30 to April 5, 2021, we 

received timely no-shipment 

certifications from 17 companies.5 We 

did not receive a no-shipment 

statement, separate rate application 

(SRA), or separate rate certification 

(SRC) from any other company subject 

to this review. On June 14, 2021, we 

received a request from the petitioner 

that we conduct verification of the 

information submitted in this review.6

On October 1, 2021, Commerce 

extended the time limit for completing 

the preliminary results of this review to 

January 28, 2022.7

For a complete description of the 

events that followed the initiation of 

this administrative review, see the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum.8 A 

list of topics included in the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum is 

provided in Appendix III to this notice. 

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 http://access.trade.gov. In addition, a 

complete version of the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum can be found at 

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

signed and the electronic versions of the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum are 

identical in content. 

Scope of the Order 

The product covered by the order is 

hardwood plywood from China. A full 

description of the scope of the order is 

contained in the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum.9

Methodology 

Commerce is conducting this review 

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

of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 

(the Act) and 19 CFR 351.213. 

Preliminary Determination of No 

Shipments 

Based upon the no shipment 

certifications received by Commerce, 

and our review of the CBP data, we 

preliminary find that 17 companies had 

no shipments during the POR. 

Commerce requested that CBP confirm 

whether any shipments of subject 

merchandise entered the United States 

during the POR with respect to the 17 

companies that submitted no shipment 

claims, and CBP responded that it has 

no record of any subject entries for these 

17 inquiries.10 Because we have

corroborated the 17 no-shipment claims 

with CBP, we have verified these claims 

for purposes of these preliminary 

results, in accordance with section 

782(i) of the Act. For additional 

information regarding this 

determination, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum. Consistent with 

our assessment in non-market economy 

administrative reviews,11 Commerce is 

not rescinding this review for these 17 

companies.12 Commerce intends to 

complete this review and issue 

appropriate instructions to CBP based 

on the final results of this review. 

Separate Rates 

Because the other 39 companies 

under review did not submit a noshipment certification, SRA, or SRC, 

Commerce preliminarily determines 

that these companies have not 

demonstrated their eligibility for 

separate rates.13 For additional 

information, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum. 

China-Wide Entity 

Commerce’s policy regarding 

conditional review of the China-wide 

entity applies to this administrative 

review.14 Under this policy, the Chinawide entity will not be under review 

unless a party specifically requests, or 

Commerce self-initiates, a review of the 

China-wide entity.15 Because no party 

requested a review of the China-wide 

entity in this review, the China-wide 

entity is not under review and the 

China-wide entity’s rate (i.e., 183.36 

percent) is not subject to change.16 For 

additional information, see the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum. 

Public Comment 

In accordance with 19 CFR 

351.309(c), case briefs or other written 

comments may be submitted to the 

Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and 

Compliance no later than 30 days after 

the date of publication of these 

preliminary results, unless the Secretary 

alters the time limit. Rebuttal briefs, 

limited to issues raised in case briefs, 

may be submitted no later than seven 

days after the deadline date for case 

briefs.17 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. 

Note that Commerce has temporarily 

modified certain of its requirements for 

serving documents containing business 

proprietary information, until further 

notice.18

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: (1) The party’s name, 

address, and telephone number; (2) the 

number of participants; and (3) a list of 

issues to be discussed. Oral 

presentations at the hearing will be 

limited to those issues raised in the 

briefs. If a request for a hearing is made, 

Commerce intends to hold the hearing 

at a date and time to be determined.19

Assessment Rates 

Upon issuance of the final results of 

this review, Commerce will determine, 

and CBP shall assess, AD duties on all 

appropriate entries covered by this 

review.20 We have not calculated any 

assessment rates in this administrative 

review. Based on record evidence, we 

have preliminarily determined that 17 

companies had no shipments of subject 

merchandise and, therefore, pursuant to 

Commerce’s assessment practice, any 

suspended entries that entered under 

their case numbers, where available, 

will be liquidated at the China-wide 

entity rate.21 For all remaining 

companies subject to this review, which 

are part of the China-wide entity, we 

will instruct CBP to liquidate their 

entries at the current rate for the Chinawide entity (i.e., 183.36 percent). 

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 upon 

publication of the final results of this 

administrative review for shipments of 

the subject merchandise from China 

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 rates for the 17 

companies that had no shipments 

during the POR will remain unchanged 

from the rates assigned to them in the 

most recently completed segment for 

each company; (2) for previously 

investigated or reviewed Chinese and 

non-Chinese exporters that have 

separate rates, the cash deposit rate will 

continue to be the exporter-specific rate 

published for the most recently 

completed segment of this proceeding; 

(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 (i.e., 183.36 percent); 

and (4) for all non-Chinese exporters of 

subject merchandise that have not 

received their own rate, the cash deposit 

rate will be the rate applicable to the 

Chinese exporter that supplied that nonChinese exporter. These deposit 

requirements, when imposed, shall 

remain in effect until further notice. 

Final Results of Review 

Unless otherwise extended, 

Commerce intends to issue the final 

results of this administrative review, 

which will include the results of its 

analysis of issues raised in any briefs, 

within 120 days of publication of these 

preliminary results of review, pursuant 

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

Notification to Importers 

This notice also serves as a reminder 

to importers of their responsibility 

under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a 

certificate regarding the reimbursement 

of AD 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 AD duties occurred 

and the subsequent assessment of 

double AD duties.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In March 

2007, the Governments of the United 

States and Brazil established the U.S.- 

Brazil CEO Forum (Forum). Through a 

Federal Register notice on October 12, 

2018 (83 FR 51663), the Department of 

Commerce solicited applicants for 

appointment to the U.S. Section for a 

term of three years to expire November 

30, 2021, and on December 21, 2018 (83 

FR 65627), the term was extended 

through February 24, 2022. Vacancies 

arising during the three-year term were 

filled through the same process (see 83 

FR 65627 (Dec. 21, 2018) and 86 FR 

1479 (Jan. 8, 2021)). The Secretary of 

Commerce and the Director of the 

National Economic Council, together 

with the Brazilian Minister of Economy 

and the Planalto Casa Civil Minister 

(Presidential Chief of Staff), co-chair the 

U.S.-Brazil CEO Forum (Forum), 

pursuant to the Terms of Reference 

signed in March 2007 by the U.S. and 

Brazilian governments, as amended, 

which set forth the objectives and 

structure of the Forum. The Terms of 

Reference may be viewed at: https://

www.trade.gov/us-brazil-ceo-forumterms-reference/. The Forum, consisting 

of both private and public sector 

members, brings together leaders of the 

respective business communities of the 

United States and Brazil to discuss 

issues of mutual interest, particularly 

ways to strengthen the economic and 

commercial ties between the two 

countries. The Forum consists of the 

U.S. and Brazilian Government cochairs and a Committee comprised of 

private sector members. The Committee 

is composed of two Sections, each 

consisting of approximately ten to 

twelve members from the private sector, 

representing the views and interests of 

the private sector business community 

in the United States and Brazil. Each 

government appoints the members to its 

respective Section. The Committee 

provides joint recommendations to the 

two governments that reflect private 

sector views, needs, and concerns 

regarding the creation of an economic 

environment in which their respective 

private sectors can partner, thrive, and 

enhance bilateral commercial ties to 

expand trade between the United States 

and Brazil. 

As stated in the amended Terms of 

Reference, ‘‘members [of the Forum] 

normally are to serve three-year terms 

but may be reappointed.’’ The current 

U.S. Section Member appointments 

expire on February 24, 2022. The 

COVID–19 pandemic has impacted the 

most recently scheduled meeting of the 

United States-Brazil CEO Forum, 

resulting in a need for additional time 

for the current U.S. Section Members to 

participate in ongoing events through 

April 2022. For that reason, the 

Secretary of Commerce and the Director 

of the National Economic Council have 

decided to extend the current U.S.
