SUMMARY:
ehiers on DSK2VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Background
On September 3, 2013, we published
a notice of opportunity to request an
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on freshwater
crawfish tail meat from the PRC for the
period of review (POR) September 1,
2012, through August 31, 2013.1 On
November 8, 2013, in response to
requests from the petitioner, Crawfish
Processors Alliance (CPA), and Chinese
producers and exporters of subject
merchandise, Hubei Zhenghe Food Co.,
Ltd. (Hubei Zhenghe) and Xiping Opeck
Food Co., Ltd. (Xiping Opeck), and in
accordance with section 751(a) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act)
and 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i), we initiated
an administrative review of the order on
freshwater crawfish tail meat from the
PRC with respect to eight companies:
China Kingdom (Beijing) Import &
Export Co., Ltd. (China Kingdom);
Deyan Aquatic Products and Food Co.,
Ltd. (Deyan Aquatic); Hubei Zhenghe,

Ltd. (Xuzhou Jinjiang); and Yancheng
Hi-King Agriculture Developing Co.,

On November 14, 2013, in response to
requests from Hubei Nature Agriculture
Industry Co., Ltd. (Hubei Nature) and
Hubei Zhenghe, Chinese producers and
exporters of subject merchandise, and in
accordance with section 751(a)(2)(B) of

351.221(c)(1)(i), we initiated new
shipper reviews of the order on
freshwater crawfish tail meat from the
PRC with respect to these two
companies for the POR September 1,
2012, through August 31, 2013.3
On January 6, 2014, Hubei Zhenghe
withdrew its request for an
administrative review.4 On January 13,
2014, Hubei Zhenghe withdrew its
request for a new shipper review.5 On
February 6, 2014, the CPA withdrew its
request for an administrative review on
six companies: China Kingdom; Deyan
Aquatic; Nanjing Gemsen; Shanghai
Ocean Flavor; Xuzhou Jinjiang; and
Yancheng Hi-King.6
Partial Rescission of Administrative
Review and Rescission of New Shipper
Review
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the
Department will rescind an
administrative review, ‘‘in whole or in
part, if a party that requested a review
withdraws the request within 90 days of
the date of publication of notice of
initiation of the requested review.’’ The
CPA withdrew its request for an
administrative review, covering six
companies of the seven companies for
which it requested a review, within the
90-day time limit, and Hubei Zhenghe
withdrew its request for an
administrative review and new shipper
review within the 90-day time limit.
Because we received timely withdrawal
requests from the CPA and Hubei
Zhenghe, we are partially rescinding the
administrative review with respect to
China Kingdom, Deyan Aquatic,
Nanjing Gemsen, Shanghai Ocean
Flavor, Xuzhou Jinjiang, Yancheng HiKing and Hubei Zhenghe, and
rescinding the new shipper review of
Hubei Zhenghe with respect to the
order. This rescission is in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1).
Accordingly, the Department intends
to issue appropriate assessment
instructions to U.S. Customs and Border

Notifications
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 review period. Failure to
comply with this requirement could
result in the Department’s presumption
that reimbursement of antidumping
duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of doubled antidumping
duties.
This notice also serves as a reminder
to parties subject to administrative
protective order (APO) of their
responsibility concerning the
disposition of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). 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 sanctionable violation.
This notice is issued and published in
accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and
777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.213(d)(4).

Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on a review of the record and
comments received from interested
parties regarding our preliminary
results, we made revisions to the margin
calculations for Armstrong, Fine
Furniture and Minglin.9
Separate Rates
In our Preliminary Results, we
determined that 13 separate rate
applicant companies and 55 separate
rate certifier companies demonstrated
their eligibility for separate rate status.10
Subsequent to the publication of the
Preliminary Results, we clarified the
names of five companies eligible for a
separate rate and also determined that
an additional company was no longer
eligible for a separate rate and would be
placed in the PRC-wide entity.11
Additionally, the company incorrectly
identified in the Preliminary Results as
Changbai Mountain Development and
Protection Zone Hongtu Wood Industry
Co., Ltd. has been corrected for the final
results to Changbai Mountain
Development and Protection Zone
Hongtu Wood Industrial Co., Ltd.12
Finally, we determined that Jilin
Xinyuan Wooden Industry Co., Ltd. is
the correct name for the company that
was also referred to in the Preliminary
Results, incorrectly, as Xinyuan
Wooden Industry Co., Ltd.13

rate is above de minimis (de minimis
being less than 0.5 percent in a review),
we will instruct CBP to assess duties on
all entries of subject merchandise for
that importer during the period from
December 7, 2011 through November

pursuant to section 737(a) of the Tariff
Act of 1930, as amended (the ‘‘Act’’). In

estimated dumping duty. The
Department announced a refinement to
its assessment practice in non-market
economy (‘‘NME’’) cases. Pursuant to
this refinement in practice, for entries
that were not reported in the U.S. sales
databases submitted by companies
individually examined during this
review, the Department will instruct
CBP to liquidate such entries at the
NME-wide rate. In addition, if the
Department determines that an exporter
under review had no shipments of the
subject merchandise, any suspended
entries that entered under that
exporter’s case number (i.e., at that
exporter’s rate) will be liquidated at the
NME-wide rate. For a full discussion of
this practice, see Assessment in NME

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 the PRC
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the
publication date, as provided by section
751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) Armstrong,
Fine Furniture, Minglin and the nonexamined, separate rate respondents,
the cash deposit rate will be equal to
their weighted-average dumping
margins established in the final results
of this review, except if the rate is zero
or de minimis, then no cash deposit will
be required; (2) for Changzhou, Jiuyuan,
Jiaxing Brilliant, Polywell and Vicwood,
which claimed no shipments, the cash
deposit rate will remain unchanged
from their rate assigned in the most
recently completed review of the
company; (3) for previously investigated
or reviewed PRC and non-PRC exporters
not listed above that received a separate
rate in a prior segment of this
proceeding, the cash deposit rate will
continue to be the existing exporterspecific rate; (4) for all PRC exporters of
subject merchandise that have not been
found to be entitled a separate rate, the
cash deposit rate will be that for the
PRC-wide entity established in the final
determination of the less than fair value
investigation (i.e., 58.84 percent); and

merchandise which have not received
their own rate, the cash deposit rate will
be the rate applicable to the PRC
exporter that supplied that non-PRC

Disclosure
We intend to disclose the calculations
performed regarding these final results
within five days of the date of
publication of this notice in this
proceeding in accordance with 19 CFR
351.224(b).
Notification to Importers Regarding the
Reimbursement of Duties
This notice also serves as a final
reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)
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 the Department’s presumption
that reimbursement of antidumping
duties has occurred and the subsequent
assessment of doubled antidumping
duties.
Administrative Protective Order
This notice also serves as a reminder
to parties subject to APO of their
responsibility concerning the return or
destruction of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.305, which 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 terms of an APO is a violation
which is subject to sanction.
We are issuing and publishing this
administrative review and notice in
accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and
777(i) of the Act.

Multilayered Wood Flooring From the People's Republic of China:
Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review; 2011-2012
AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: On November 25, 2013, the Department of Commerce (``the
Department'') published its Preliminary Results of the 2011-2012
administrative review of the antidumping duty order on multilayered
wood flooring (``MLWF'') from the People's Republic of China (``the
PRC'').\1\ This review
[[Page 26713]]
covers 76 companies. The mandatory respondents in this review are: (1)
Armstrong Wood Products (Kunshan) Co., Ltd. (``Armstrong''); (2) Fine
Furniture (Shanghai) Limited (``Fine Furniture''); and (3) Nanjing
Minglin Wooden Industry Co. Ltd. (``Minglin''). The period of review
(``POR'') is May 26, 2011, through November 30, 2012. We invited
interested parties to comment on our Preliminary Results. Based on our
analysis of the comments received, we made changes to the margin
calculations for these final results of the antidumping duty
administrative review. The final dumping margins are listed below in
the ``Final Results'' section of this notice.

Background
On November 25, 2013, the Department published its Preliminary
Results. On January 13, 2014, the Department received case briefs from
Armstrong, Fine Furniture, Minglin and Chinafloors Timber (China) Co.,
Ltd. On January 14, 2014, the Department received a case brief from the
Coalition for American Hardwood Parity (``CAHP'').\2\ On January 22,
2014, the Department received rebuttal briefs from Armstrong, CAHP,
Fine Furniture and Minglin. Between December 16, 2013 and December 23,
2013, the Department received requests for a hearing from Fine
Furniture, CAHP and Armstrong. All parties withdrew their requests for
a hearing between February 12, 2014 and February 19, 2014. On March 14,
2014, we extended the time period for issuing the final results of this
review by 30 days, until April 24, 2014. On April 23, 2014, we extended
the time period for issuing the final results of this review by an
additional seven days, until May 1, 2014. On April 23, 2014, the United
States Court of International Trade entered final judgments in Baroque
Timber Industries (Zhongshan) Company, Limited, et. al. v. United
States and Zhejiang Layo Wood Industry Co., Ltd. v. United States.\3\
As a result of these judgments, the Department is amending the amended
final less than fair value determination,\4\ and because the revised
weighted-average dumping margins for Zhejiang Layo Wood Industry Co.,
Ltd. and The Samling Group \5\ are de minimis, merchandise produced and
exported by Layo Wood and merchandise produced and exported by The
Samling Group is excluded from the antidumping duty order on MLWF from
the PRC.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ The Coalition for American Hardwood Parity consists of the
following domestic producers of the like product: Anderson Hardwood
Floors, LLC, From the Forest, Howell Hardwood Flooring, Mannington
Mills, Inc., Nydree Flooring, and Shaw Industries Group, Inc.

Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on a review of the record and comments received from
interested parties regarding our preliminary results, we made revisions
to the margin calculations for Armstrong, Fine Furniture and
Minglin.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\9\ See Issues and Decision Memorandum.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Separate Rates
In our Preliminary Results, we determined that 13 separate rate
applicant companies and 55 separate rate certifier companies
demonstrated their eligibility for separate rate status.\10\ Subsequent
to the publication of the Preliminary Results, we clarified the names
of five companies eligible for a separate rate and also determined that
an additional company was no longer eligible for a separate rate and
would be placed in the PRC-wide entity.\11\ Additionally, the company
incorrectly identified in the Preliminary Results as Changbai Mountain
Development and Protection Zone Hongtu Wood Industry Co., Ltd. has been
corrected for the final results to Changbai Mountain Development and
Protection Zone Hongtu Wood Industrial Co., Ltd.\12\ Finally, we
determined that Jilin Xinyuan Wooden Industry Co., Ltd. is the correct
name for the company that was also referred to in the Preliminary
Results, incorrectly, as Xinyuan Wooden Industry Co., Ltd.\13\

------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\15\ The following companies were named in the Initiation Notice
but did not submit a certification of no shipment, separate rate
application or separate rate certification; therefore the Department
has determined that they are part of the PRC-wide entity: Baiying
Furniture Manufacturer Co., Ltd.; Dazhuang Floor Co. (dba Dasso
Industrial Group Co., Ltd.); Dunhua Jisheng Wood Industry Co., Ltd.;
Fu Lik Timber (HK) Co., Ltd.; Furnco International (HK) Company
Limited; Fusong Qianqiu Wooden Group Co., Ltd.; Guangdong Jiasheng
Timber Industry Co., Ltd.; Guanghzhou Panyu Shatou Trading Co.,
Ltd.; Huzhou Fuma Wood Bus. Co., Ltd.; Jiazing Brilliant Import &
Export Co., Ltd.; Puli Trading Co., Ltd.; Sennorwell International
Group (Hong Kong) Limited; Shanghai Demeijia Wooden Co., Ltd.;
Shenyang Haobainian Wood Co.; Shenyang Sende Wood Co., Ltd.; Suzhou
Anxin Weiguang Timber Co., Ltd.; Yekalon Industry, Inc.; Zhejiang
AnJi XinFeng Bamboo & Wood Co., Ltd.; Zhejiang Haoyun Wood Co.,
Ltd.; Zhejiang Jeson Wood Co., Ltd.; and Zhejiang Jiechen Wood
Industry Co., Ltd. See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing
Duty Administrative Reviews and Request for Revocation in Part, 78
FR 6291 (January 30, 2013); see also Initiation of Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and Request for
Revocation in Part, 78 FR 13633 (February 28, 2013) (``Initiation
Notice'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Assessment Rates
The Department will determine, and U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (``CBP'') shall assess, antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries covered by this review. The Department intends to
issue assessment instructions to CBP 15 days after the publication date
of these final results of this review, excluding any sales that entered
during the gap period.\16\ Where an assessment rate is above de minimis
(de minimis being less than 0.5 percent in a review), we will instruct
CBP to assess duties on all entries of subject merchandise for that
importer during the period from December 7, 2011 through November 30,
2012. For entries made during the provisional-measures period (i.e.,
May 26, 2011 through November 21, 2011), we will instruct CBP to
liquidate the entries at the proper assessment rates, pursuant to
section 737(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the ``Act''). In
accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), we are calculating importer- (or
customer-) specific assessment rates for the merchandise subject to
this review. For any individually examined respondent whose weighted-
average dumping margin is above de minimis (i.e., 0.50 percent), the
Department will calculate importer-specific assessment rates on the
basis of the ratio of the total amount of dumping calculated for the
importer's examined sales and the total entered value of sales.\17\ We
will instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries covered by this review when the importer-specific assessment
rate is above de minimis. Where either the respondent's weighted-
average dumping margin is zero or de minimis, 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\16\ The gap period represents the period of time after the
expiration of the 180-day provisional measures period during the
original investigation, to the day prior to the publication in the
Federal Register of the U.S. International Trade Commission's final
determination. In the instant case, the gap period is November 22,
2011, to December 6, 2011.
\17\ See Antidumping Proceedings: Calculation of the Weighted-
Average Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping
Proceedings: Final Modification, 77 FR 8101 (February 14, 2012).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
For the companies not selected for individual examination, we will
instruct CBP to apply the rates listed above to the entries of subject
merchandise exported by such companies and entered during the period
from December 7, 2011 through November 30, 2012. The rates were
obtained by averaging the above-de minimis cash-deposit rates
calculated for the companies selected for individual examination as
mandatory respondents. For entries made during the provisional-measures
period, we will instruct CBP to apply the lower of the rates assigned
to the companies as a result of the final
[[Page 26716]]
results of this review or the cash deposit rate collected as security
for an estimated dumping duty. The Department announced a refinement to
its assessment practice in non-market economy (``NME'') cases. Pursuant
to this refinement in practice, for entries that were not reported in
the U.S. sales databases submitted by companies individually examined
during this review, the Department will instruct CBP to liquidate such
entries at the NME-wide rate. In addition, if the Department determines
that an exporter under review had no shipments of the subject
merchandise, any suspended entries that entered under that exporter's
case number (i.e., at that exporter's rate) will be liquidated at the
NME-wide rate. For a full discussion of this practice, see Assessment
in NME Antidumping Proceedings.\18\

of Antidumping Duties, 76 FR 65694 (October 24, 2011) (Assessment in
NME Antidumping Proceedings).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 the PRC entered, or withdrawn
from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date, as
provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) Armstrong, Fine
Furniture, Minglin and the non-examined, separate rate respondents, the
cash deposit rate will be equal to their weighted-average dumping
margins established in the final results of this review, except if the
rate is zero or de minimis, then no cash deposit will be required; (2)
for Changzhou, Jiuyuan, Jiaxing Brilliant, Polywell and Vicwood, which
claimed no shipments, the cash deposit rate will remain unchanged from
their rate assigned in the most recently completed review of the
company; (3) for previously investigated or reviewed PRC and non-PRC
exporters not listed above that received a separate rate in a prior
segment of this proceeding, the cash deposit rate will continue to be
the existing exporter-specific rate; (4) for all PRC exporters of
subject merchandise that have not been found to be entitled a separate
rate, the cash deposit rate will be that for the PRC-wide entity
established in the final determination of the less than fair value
investigation (i.e., 58.84 percent); and (5) for all non-PRC exporters
of subject merchandise which have not received their own rate, the cash
deposit rate will be the rate applicable to the PRC exporter that
supplied that non-PRC exporter. These deposit requirements, when
imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice.
Disclosure
We intend to disclose the calculations performed regarding these
final results within five days of the date of publication of this
notice in this proceeding in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).
Notification to Importers Regarding the Reimbursement of Duties
This notice also serves as a final reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f) 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 the Department's presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties has occurred and the subsequent
assessment of doubled antidumping duties.
Administrative Protective Order
This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to APO of
their responsibility concerning the return or destruction of
proprietary information disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR
351.305, which 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 terms of an APO is a violation which is subject to
sanction.
We are issuing and publishing this administrative review and notice
in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act.
Dated: May 1, 2014.
Paul Piquado,
Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
