SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On January 3, 2018, Commerce 

published the CVD order on certain 

softwood lumber from Canada.1 On May 

10, 2024, the petitioner 2 requested that 

Commerce initiate a changed 

circumstances review (CCR) of the 

Order, pursuant to section 751(b)(1) of 

the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 

Act), 19 CFR 351.216, and 19 CFR 

251.221(c)(3).3 Specifically, the 

petitioner requested that Commerce 

determine that ISM is cross-owned with 

EACOM, Chaleur Forest Products Inc., 

and Chaleur Forest Products LP.4 On 

June 28, 2024, Commerce initiated the 

requested CCR.5

Scope of the Order 

The merchandise covered by this 

Order is softwood lumber, siding, 

flooring, and certain other coniferous 

wood (softwood lumber products). For a 

complete description of the scope, see 

the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum.6

Preliminary Results of Changed 

Circumstances Review 

Pursuant to section 751(b) of the Act, 

Commerce is conducting a CCR based 

on a request from an interested party 7

that shows changed circumstances 

sufficient to warrant a review of an 

order. In accordance with 19 CFR 

351.221(b)(4) and (c)(3)(i), we 

preliminary find that the record 

contains information indicating that 

Interfor Corporation, ISM, EACOM, 

Chaleur Forest Products Inc., and 

Chaleur Forest Products LP meet the 

definition of cross-ownership under 19 

CFR 351.525(b)(6). 

For a complete discussion of the 

information that ISM and the petitioner 

provided and the complete crossownership analysis, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum. A list of topics 

discussed in the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum is included as the 

appendix 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 https://

access.trade.gov. In addition, a complete

Memorandum can be accessed directly

this CCR in accordance with 19 CFR

a public, executive summary for each 

issue raised in their briefs.10 Further, we

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 CCR. 

We request that interested parties 

include footnotes for relevant citations 

in the executive summary of each issue.

certain of its requirements pertaining to 

the service of documents in 19 CFR 

351.303(f).11 All submissions must be

at a time and date to be determined. 

Parties should confirm the date and the 

time of the hearing two days before the 

scheduled date. 

Final Results of the Changed 

Circumstances Review 

Commerce will issue the final results 

of this CCR, which will include its 

analysis of any written comments, no 

later than 270 days after the date on 

which this review was initiated.12 The 

current requirement for cash deposits of 

estimated countervailing duties on all 

entries of subject merchandise will not 

change as the result of this preliminary 

CCR determination. As noted in the 

Initiation Notice and Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum, the purpose of 

this CCR does not include identifying 

the applicable cash deposit rates, but 

rather making determinations of crossownership. Furthermore, we note that 

Interfor Corporation, ISM, EACOM, 

Chaleur Forest Products Inc., and 

Chaleur Forest Products LP are all 

already receiving the same cash deposit 

rate assigned to non-selected 

companies.13

Notification to Interested Parties 

These preliminary results of a CCR 

and this notice are published in 

accordance with sections 751(b) and 

777(i) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.216,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

The Petitions 

On November 21, 2024, the U.S. 

Department of Commerce (Commerce) 

received countervailing duty (CVD) 

petitions concerning imports of float 

glass products from China and Malaysia 

filed in proper form on behalf of Vitro 

Flat Glass, LLC and Vitro Meadville Flat 

Glass, LLC (the petitioner), a U.S. 

producer of float glass products.1 The 

CVD Petitions were accompanied by 

antidumping duty (AD) petitions 

concerning imports of float glass 

products from China and Malaysia.2

Between November 25 and December 

23, 2024, Commerce requested 

supplemental information pertaining to 

certain aspects of the Petitions.3

Between December 2 and 26, 2024, the 

petitioner filed timely responses to 

these requests for additional 

information.4

On December 11, 2024, Commerce 

extended the initiation deadline by 20 

days to poll the domestic industry in 

accordance with section 702(c)(4)(D) of 

the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 

Act), because it was ‘‘not clear from the 

Petitions whether the industry support 

criteria have been met. . . .’’ 5

In accordance with section 702(b)(1) 

of the Act, the petitioner alleges that the 

Government of China (GOC) and the 

Government of Malaysia (GOM) 

(collectively, Governments) are 

providing countervailable subsidies, 

within the meaning of sections 701 and 

771(5) of the Act, to producers of float 

glass products from China and Malaysia 

and that such imports are materially 

injuring, or threatening material injury 

to, the domestic industry producing 

float glass products in the United States. 

Consistent with section 702(b)(1) of the 

Act and 19 CFR 351.202(b), for those 

alleged programs on which we are 

initiating CVD investigations, the 

Petitions were accompanied by 

information reasonably available to the 

petitioner supporting its allegations. 

Commerce finds that the petitioner 

filed the Petitions on behalf of the 

domestic industry because the 

petitioner is an interested party, as 

defined in section 771(9)(C) of the Act. 

Commerce also finds that the petitioner 

demonstrated sufficient industry 

support with respect to the initiation of 

the requested CVD investigations.6

Periods of Investigation 

Because the Petitions were filed on 

November 21, 2024, the periods of 

investigation for the China and Malaysia 

CVD investigations are January 1, 2023, 

through December 31, 2023.7

Scope of the Investigations 

The products covered by these 

investigations are float glass products 

from China and Malaysia. For a full
