of nonregulated status for GE organisms,
we are publishing this notice to inform
the public that APHIS will accept
written comments regarding the petition
for a determination of nonregulated
status from interested or affected
persons for a period of 60 days from the
date of this notice. The petition is
available for public review and
comment, and copies are available as
indicated under ADDRESSES and FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT above.
We are interested in receiving
comments regarding potential
environmental and interrelated
economic issues and impacts that
APHIS may determine should be
considered in our evaluation of the
petition. We are particularly interested
in receiving comments regarding
biological, cultural, or ecological issues,
and we encourage the submission of
scientific data, studies, or research to
support your comments. We also
request that, when possible,
commenters provide relevant
information regarding specific localities
or regions as creeping bentgrass growth,
crop management, and crop utilization
may vary considerably by geographic
region.
After the comment period closes,
APHIS will review all written comments
received during the comment period
and any other relevant information. Any
substantive issues identified by APHIS
based on our review of the petition and
our evaluation and analysis of
comments will be considered in the
development of our decisionmaking
documents. As part of our
decisionmaking process regarding a GE
organism’s regulatory status, APHIS
prepares a plant pest risk assessment to
assess its plant pest risk and the
appropriate environmental
documentation—either an
environmental assessment (EA) or an
environmental impact statement (EIS)—
in accordance with the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), to
provide the Agency with a review and
analysis of any potential environmental
impacts associated with the petition
request. For petitions for which APHIS
prepares an EA, APHIS will follow our
published process for soliciting public
comment (see footnote 1) and publish a
separate notice in the Federal Register
announcing the availability of APHIS’
EA and plant pest risk assessment.
Should APHIS determine that an EIS
is necessary, APHIS will complete the
NEPA EIS process in accordance with
Council on Environmental Quality
regulations (40 CFR part 1500–1508)
and APHIS’ NEPA implementing
regulations (7 CFR part 372).

Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Operations to Paul Piquado,
Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and
Compliance, regarding ‘‘Decision Memorandum for
Preliminary Results of 2013–2014 Antidumping
Duty Administrative Review: Multilayered Wood
Flooring from the People’s Republic of China,’’
(‘‘Preliminary Decision Memorandum’’), issued and

Methodology
The Department has conducted this
review in accordance with section
751(a)(1)(B) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (‘‘the Act’’). Export prices and
constructed export prices have been
calculated in accordance with section
772 of the Act. Because the PRC is a
non-market economy (‘‘NME’’) within
the meaning of section 771(18) of the
Act, normal value (‘‘NV’’) has been
calculated in accordance with section
773(c) of the Act.
For a full description of the
methodology underlying our
conclusions, please see the Preliminary
Decision Memorandum, hereby adopted
by 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. The
Preliminary Decision Memorandum is
also available in the Central Records
Unit, Room B8024 of the main
Department of Commerce building. In
addition, a complete version of the
Preliminary Decision Memorandum can
be accessed directly at https://
enforcement.trade.gov/frn/.
The signed Preliminary Decision
Memorandum and the electronic
versions of the Preliminary Decision
Memorandum are identical in content.
Affiliation and Collapsing
Based on the evidence presented in
Dalian Penghong’s questionnaire
responses, we preliminarily find (1) that
Dalian Penghong is affiliated with a
certain glue producer within the
meaning of sections 771(33)(A), (F), and
(G) of the Act; and (2) that Dalian
Penghong and Dalian Shumaike Floor
Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (‘‘Shumaike’’)
are affiliated within the meaning of
section 773(33)(F) of the Act.
Additionally, we are preliminarily
treating Dalian Penghong and Shumaike
as a single entity for antidumping duty
purposes, within the meaning of 19 CFR
351.401(f), because we find that those
two affiliated companies have a high
level of common ownership, production
facilities for similar or identical
products that would not require
substantial retooling to restructure
manufacturing priorities, and that there
is a significant potential for
manipulation of price or production.2

Memorandum dated concurrently with this Notice.

Preliminary Results of Review
The Department preliminarily finds
that nineteen companies subject to this
review did not establish eligibility for a
separate rate. As such, we preliminarily
determine they are part of the PRC-wide
entity.3 Because no party requested a
review of the PRC-wide entity and the
Department no longer considers the
PRC-wide entity as an exporter
conditionally subject to administrative
reviews,4 we did not conduct a review
of the PRC-wide entity. Thus, the rate
for the PRC-wide entity is not subject to
change as a result of this review.
For companies subject to this review
that have established their entitlement
to a separate rate, the Department
preliminarily determines that the
following weighted-average dumping
margins exist for the POR from
December 1, 2013, through November
30, 2014: 5
3 The following companies were named in the
Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Administrative Reviews, 80 FR 6041 (February 4,
2014), but did not submit a certification of no
shipment, separate rate application or separate rate
certification; therefore they are part of the PRC-wide
entity: Anhui Suzhou Dongda Wood Co., Ltd.;
Baiying Furniture Manufacturer Co., Ltd.; Cheng
Hang Wood Co., Ltd.; Dalian Huilong Wooden
Products Co., Ltd.; Dalian Jiuyuan Wood Industry
Co., Ltd.; Fu Lik Timber (HK) Co., Ltd.; Guangzhou
Homebon Timber Manufacturing Co., Ltd.; HaiLin
XinCheng Wooden Products, Ltd.; Hangzhou
Dazhuang Floor Co., Ltd (dba Dasso Industrial
Group Co., Ltd); Linyi Anying Wood Co., Ltd.;
Qingdao Barry Flooring Co., Ltd. (Qingdao Barry);
Shanghai Anxin (Weiguang) Timber Co., Ltd.;
Vicwood Industry (Suzhou) Co., Ltd.; Xiamen Yung
De Ornament Co., Ltd.; Yingyi-Nature (Kunshan)
Wood Industry Co., Ltd.; Zhejiang AnJi XinFeng
Bamboo & Wood Industry Co., Ltd.; Zhejiang
Desheng Wood Industry Co., Ltd.; Zhejiang Haoyun
Wooden Co., Ltd.; and Zhejiang Shiyou Timber Co.,
Ltd. We note that Qingdao Barry is currently subject
to a new shipper review that covers the same POR
as this administrative review. The only sale(s) made
by Qingdao Barry during that period are being
reviewed in the new shipper review. As a result, the
Department may rescind this administrative review
as to Qingdao Barry in the final results if there are
no reviewable entries that remain subject to this
administrative review.
4 See Antidumping Proceedings: Announcement
of Change in Department Practice for Respondent
Selection in Antidumping Duty Proceedings and
Conditional Review of the Nonmarket Economy
Entity in NME Antidumping Duty Proceedings, 78
FR 65963, 65969–70 (November 4, 2013).
5 In addition to the companies listed in the table,
certain companies certified that they did not ship
subject merchandise to the United States during the
POR. The Department confirmed these certifications
of no shipments with U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (‘‘CBP’’); therefore, the following
companies will maintain their rate from the most
recent segment in which they participated:
Changbai Mountain Development and Protection
Zone Hongtu Wood Industrial Co., Ltd.; Dalian TBoom Wood Products Co., Ltd.; Hangzhou
Zhengtian Industrial Co., Ltd.; Jiangsu Guyu
International Trading Co., Ltd.; Jiangsu Mingle
Flooring Co., Ltd.; Linyi Bonn Flooring
Manufacturing Co., Ltd.; Shanghai Eswell Timber
Co., Ltd.; Shenyang Senwang Wooden Industry Co.,
Ltd.; Tongxiang Jisheng Import and Export Co., Ltd.;
and Zhejiang Fuerjia Wooden Co., Ltd.

Disclosure and Public Comment
The Department intends to disclose
calculations performed for these
preliminary results to the parties within
five days of the date of publication of
this notice.10 Interested parties may
submit a case brief no later than 30 days
after the date of publication of these
preliminary results of review.11 Rebuttal
briefs may be filed no later than five
days after the deadline for filing case
briefs and may respond only to
arguments raised in the case briefs.12 A
table of contents, list of authorities used,
and an executive summary of issues
should accompany any briefs submitted
to the Department.13 This summary
6 We note that the record reflects that Dalian
Penghong and Shumaike were not affiliated until
April 2014 (i.e., approximately 4 months into the
POR). Because the record does not support treating
Dalian Penghong as a single entity with Shumaike
prior to the date of affiliation (i.e., April 2014),
separate assessment rates will apply for the period
from 11/30/2013 through 3/31/2014. In particular,
the assessment rate for any entries by Shumaike
will be 13.34 percent (the rate applicable to
unexamined separate rate companies) and the
assessment rate for any entries by Dalian Penghong
will be 0.00.

that Zhejiang Fuma Warm Technology Co., Ltd. is

should be limited to five pages total,
including footnotes. Interested parties
who wish to request a hearing 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.14 Requests
should contain the party’s name,
address, and telephone number, the
number of participants, and a list of the
issues to be discussed. If a request for
a hearing is made, the Department
intends to hold the hearing at the U.S.
Department of Commerce, 14th Street
and Constitution Avenue NW.,
Washington, DC 20230, at a time to be
determined.15 Parties should confirm by
telephone the date, time, and location of
the hearing two days before the
scheduled date.
All submissions, with limited
exceptions, must be filed electronically
using ACCESS. An electronically filed
document must be received successfully
in its entirety by 5 p.m. Eastern Time
(‘‘ET’’) on the due date. Documents
excepted from the electronic submission
requirements must be filed manually
(i.e., in paper form) with the APO/
Dockets Unit in Room 1870 and
stamped with the date and time of
receipt by 5 p.m. ET on the due date.16
Unless extended, the Department
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, pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A)
of the Act.
Assessment Rates
Upon issuance of the final results, the
Department will determine, and CBP
shall assess, antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries covered by this
review.17 The Department intends to
issue assessment instructions to CBP 15
days after the publication date of the
final results of this review. For any
individually examined respondent
whose weighted-average dumping
margin is above de minimis (i.e., 0.50
percent) in the final results of this

review, the Department will calculate an
importer- (or customer-) specific
assessment rate on the basis of the ratio
of the total amount of antidumping
duties calculated for the importer’s
examined sales and the total entered
value of sales, in accordance with 19
CFR 351.212(b)(1). In these preliminary
results, the Department applied the
assessment rate calculation method
adopted in the Final Modification for
Reviews.18 Where either the
respondent’s weighted-average dumping
margin is zero or de minimis, or an
importer- (or customer-) specific
assessment rate is zero or de minimis,
we will instruct CBP to liquidate the
appropriate entries without regard to
antidumping duties.19 We intend to
instruct CBP to liquidate entries
containing subject merchandise
exported by the PRC-wide entity at the
current rate for the PRC-wide entity
(which, as noted above, is not subject to
change in this review).
On October 24, 2011, the Department
announced a refinement to its
assessment practice in NME
antidumping duty cases.20 Pursuant to
this refinement in practice, for
merchandise that was not reported in
the U.S. sales databases submitted by an
exporter individually examined during
this review, but that entered under the
case number of that exporter (i.e., at the
individually-examined exporter’s cash
deposit rate), the Department will
instruct CBP to liquidate such entries at
the PRC-wide rate. Additionally,
pursuant to this refinement, 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 will be
liquidated at the PRC-wide rate.
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) For the
companies listed above the cash deposit
rate will be their respective rate
established in the final results of this
review, except if the rate is zero or de
minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent), then
the cash deposit rate will be zero; (2) for
previously investigated PRC and nonPRC exporters not listed above that have
separate rates, the cash deposit rate will
continue to be the exporter-specific rate
published for the most recent period; (3)
for all PRC exporters of subject
merchandise which have not been
found to be entitled to a separate rate,
the cash deposit rate will be that for the
PRC-wide entity; and (4) 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.
Notification to Importers
This notice also serves as a
preliminary 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 double antidumping duties.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing these
results in accordance with sections
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19
CFR 351.213.
Dated: December 31, 2015.

Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (``the Department'') is conducting
an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on multilayered
wood flooring (``MLWF'') from the People's Republic of China (``PRC'').
The period of review (``POR'') is December 1, 2013, through November
30, 2014. The review covers two mandatory respondents, Fine Furniture
(Shanghai) Limited (``Fine Furniture'') and Dalian Penghong Floor
Products Co., Ltd. (``Dalian Penghong''). We preliminarily find that
both respondents made sales of subject merchandise at less than normal
value (``NV'').

\1\ See Memorandum from Christian Marsh, Deputy Assistant
Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Operations to Paul
Piquado, Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance,
regarding ``Decision Memorandum for Preliminary Results of 2013-2014
Antidumping Duty Administrative Review: Multilayered Wood Flooring
from the People's Republic of China,'' (``Preliminary Decision
Memorandum''), issued and dated concurrently with this notice, for a
complete description of the Scope of the Order.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
While HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and customs
purposes, the written description of the subject merchandise is
dispositive.
Methodology
The Department has conducted this review in accordance with section
751(a)(1)(B) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the Act'').
Export prices and constructed export prices have been calculated in
accordance with section 772 of the Act. Because the PRC is a non-market
economy (``NME'') within the meaning of section 771(18) of the Act,
normal value (``NV'') has been calculated in accordance with section
773(c) of the Act.
For a full description of the methodology underlying our
conclusions, please see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum, hereby
adopted by 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. The Preliminary Decision Memorandum is also available
in the Central Records Unit, Room B8024 of the main Department of
Commerce building. In addition, a complete version of the Preliminary
Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly at https://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/. The signed Preliminary Decision
Memorandum and the electronic versions of the Preliminary Decision
Memorandum are identical in content.
Affiliation and Collapsing
Based on the evidence presented in Dalian Penghong's questionnaire
responses, we preliminarily find (1) that Dalian Penghong is affiliated
with a certain glue producer within the meaning of sections 771(33)(A),
(F), and (G) of the Act; and (2) that Dalian Penghong and Dalian
Shumaike Floor Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (``Shumaike'') are affiliated
within the meaning of section 773(33)(F) of the Act. Additionally, we
are preliminarily treating Dalian Penghong and Shumaike as a single
entity for antidumping duty purposes, within the meaning of 19 CFR
351.401(f), because we find that those two affiliated companies have a
high level of common ownership, production facilities for similar or
identical products that would not require substantial retooling to
restructure manufacturing priorities, and that there is a significant
potential for manipulation of price or production.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ See Dalian Penghong Floor Products Co., Ltd., Preliminary
Affiliation and Single Entity Memorandum dated concurrently with
this Notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Preliminary Results of Review
The Department preliminarily finds that nineteen companies subject
to this review did not establish eligibility for a separate rate. As
such, we preliminarily determine they are part of the PRC-wide
entity.\3\ Because no party requested a review of the PRC-wide entity
and the Department no longer considers the PRC-wide entity as an
exporter conditionally subject to administrative reviews,\4\ we did not
conduct a review of the PRC-wide entity. Thus, the rate for the PRC-
wide entity is not subject to change as a result of this review.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ The following companies were named in the Initiation of
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews, 80 FR
6041 (February 4, 2014), but did not submit a certification of no
shipment, separate rate application or separate rate certification;
therefore they are part of the PRC-wide entity: Anhui Suzhou Dongda
Wood Co., Ltd.; Baiying Furniture Manufacturer Co., Ltd.; Cheng Hang
Wood Co., Ltd.; Dalian Huilong Wooden Products Co., Ltd.; Dalian
Jiuyuan Wood Industry Co., Ltd.; Fu Lik Timber (HK) Co., Ltd.;
Guangzhou Homebon Timber Manufacturing Co., Ltd.; HaiLin XinCheng
Wooden Products, Ltd.; Hangzhou Dazhuang Floor Co., Ltd (dba Dasso
Industrial Group Co., Ltd); Linyi Anying Wood Co., Ltd.; Qingdao
Barry Flooring Co., Ltd. (Qingdao Barry); Shanghai Anxin (Weiguang)
Timber Co., Ltd.; Vicwood Industry (Suzhou) Co., Ltd.; Xiamen Yung
De Ornament Co., Ltd.; Yingyi-Nature (Kunshan) Wood Industry Co.,
Ltd.; Zhejiang AnJi XinFeng Bamboo & Wood Industry Co., Ltd.;
Zhejiang Desheng Wood Industry Co., Ltd.; Zhejiang Haoyun Wooden
Co., Ltd.; and Zhejiang Shiyou Timber Co., Ltd. We note that Qingdao
Barry is currently subject to a new shipper review that covers the
same POR as this administrative review. The only sale(s) made by
Qingdao Barry during that period are being reviewed in the new
shipper review. As a result, the Department may rescind this
administrative review as to Qingdao Barry in the final results if
there are no reviewable entries that remain subject to this
administrative review.
\4\ See Antidumping Proceedings: Announcement of Change in
Department Practice for Respondent Selection in Antidumping Duty
Proceedings and Conditional Review of the Nonmarket Economy Entity
in NME Antidumping Duty Proceedings, 78 FR 65963, 65969-70 (November
4, 2013).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
For companies subject to this review that have established their
entitlement to a separate rate, the Department preliminarily determines
that the following weighted-average dumping margins exist for the POR
from December 1, 2013, through November 30, 2014: \5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ In addition to the companies listed in the table, certain
companies certified that they did not ship subject merchandise to
the United States during the POR. The Department confirmed these
certifications of no shipments with U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (``CBP''); therefore, the following companies will
maintain their rate from the most recent segment in which they
participated: Changbai Mountain Development and Protection Zone
Hongtu Wood Industrial Co., Ltd.; Dalian T-Boom Wood Products Co.,
Ltd.; Hangzhou Zhengtian Industrial Co., Ltd.; Jiangsu Guyu
International Trading Co., Ltd.; Jiangsu Mingle Flooring Co., Ltd.;
Linyi Bonn Flooring Manufacturing Co., Ltd.; Shanghai Eswell Timber
Co., Ltd.; Shenyang Senwang Wooden Industry Co., Ltd.; Tongxiang
Jisheng Import and Export Co., Ltd.; and Zhejiang Fuerjia Wooden

\6\ We note that the record reflects that Dalian Penghong and
Shumaike were not affiliated until April 2014 (i.e., approximately 4
months into the POR). Because the record does not support treating
Dalian Penghong as a single entity with Shumaike prior to the date
of affiliation (i.e., April 2014), separate assessment rates will
apply for the period from 11/30/2013 through 3/31/2014. In
particular, the assessment rate for any entries by Shumaike will be
13.34 percent (the rate applicable to unexamined separate rate
companies) and the assessment rate for any entries by Dalian
Penghong will be 0.00.
\7\ On July 13, 2015, the Department determined that Zhejiang
Fuma Warm Technology Co., Ltd. is the successor-in-interest to
Huzhou Fuma Wood Co., Ltd. See Multilayered Wood Flooring From the
People's Republic of China: Final Results of Changed Circumstances
Review, 80 FR 39998 (July 13, 2015). Because Huzhou Fuma Wood Co.,
Ltd. no longer exists as a legal entity, the rate assigned to Huzhou
Fuma Wood Co., Ltd. will apply for assessment purposes only.
\8\ On November 16, 2015, the Department determined that Sino-
Maple (JiangSu) Co., Ltd. is the successor-in-interest to Jiafeng
Wood (Suzhou) Co., Ltd. See Multilayered Wood Flooring From the
People's Republic of China: Final Results of Changed Circumstances
Review, 80 FR 70756 (November 16, 2015). Because Jiafeng Wood
(Suzhou) Co., Ltd. no longer exists as a legal entity, the rate
assigned to Jiafeng Wood (Suzhou) Co., Ltd. will apply for
assessment purposes only.
\9\ On September 30, 2014, the Department determined that Linyi
Youyou Wood Co., Ltd. is the successor-in-interest to Shanghai
Lizhong Wood Products Co., Ltd./The Lizhong Wood Industry Limited
Company of Shanghai. See Multilayered Wood Flooring From the
People's Republic of China: Final Results of Changed Circumstances
Review, 79 FR 58740 (September 30, 2014). Because Shanghai Lizhong
Wood Products Co., Ltd./The Lizhong Wood Industry Limited Company of
Shanghai no longer exists as a legal entity, the rate assigned to
Shanghai Lizhong Wood Products Co., Ltd./The Lizhong Wood Industry
Limited Company of Shanghai will apply for assessment purposes only.

Disclosure and Public Comment
The Department intends to disclose calculations performed for these
preliminary results to the parties within five days of the date of
publication of this notice.\10\ Interested parties may submit a case
brief no later than 30 days after the date of publication of these
preliminary results of review.\11\ Rebuttal briefs may be filed no
later than five days after the deadline for filing case briefs and may
respond only to arguments raised in the case briefs.\12\ A table of
contents, list of authorities used, and an executive summary of issues
should accompany any briefs submitted to the Department.\13\ This
summary should be limited to five pages total, including footnotes.
Interested parties who wish to request a hearing 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.\14\ Requests should contain the party's name, address, and
telephone number, the number of participants, and a list of the issues
to be discussed. If a request for a hearing is made, the Department
intends to hold the hearing at the U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th
Street and Constitution Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20230, at a time to

Unless extended, the Department 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, pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the
Act.
Assessment Rates
Upon issuance of the final results, the Department will determine,
and CBP shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries
covered by this review.\17\ The Department intends to issue assessment
instructions to CBP 15 days after the publication date of the final
results of this review. For any individually examined respondent whose
weighted-average dumping margin is above de minimis (i.e., 0.50
percent) in the final results of this review, the Department will
calculate an importer- (or customer-) specific assessment rate on the
basis of the ratio of the total amount of antidumping duties calculated
for the importer's examined sales and the total entered value of sales,
in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). In these preliminary results,
the Department applied the assessment rate calculation method adopted
in the Final Modification for Reviews.\18\ Where either the
respondent's weighted-average dumping margin is zero or de minimis, or
an importer- (or customer-) specific assessment rate is zero or de
minimis, we will instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries
without regard to antidumping duties.\19\ We intend to instruct CBP to
liquidate entries containing subject merchandise exported by the PRC-
wide entity at the current rate for the PRC-wide entity (which, as
noted above, is not subject to change in this review).

Average Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping
Duty Proceedings; Final Modification, 77 FR 8101 (February 14, 2012)
(``Final Modification for Reviews'').
\19\ See 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On October 24, 2011, the Department announced a refinement to its
assessment practice in NME antidumping duty cases.\20\ Pursuant to this
refinement in practice, for merchandise that was not reported in the
U.S. sales databases submitted by an exporter individually examined
during this review, but that entered under the case number of that
exporter (i.e., at the individually-examined exporter's cash deposit
rate), the Department will instruct CBP to liquidate such entries at
the PRC-wide rate. Additionally, pursuant to this refinement, 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 will be liquidated at the PRC-wide rate.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\20\ See Non-Market Economy Antidumping Proceedings: Assessment
of Antidumping Duties, 76 FR 65694 (October 24, 2011), for a full
discussion of this practice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon
publication of the final results of this administrative review for
shipments of
[[Page 907]]
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) For the companies
listed above the cash deposit rate will be their respective rate
established in the final results of this review, except if the rate is
zero or de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent), then the cash deposit
rate will be zero; (2) for previously investigated PRC and non-PRC
exporters not listed above that have separate rates, the cash deposit
rate will continue to be the exporter-specific rate published for the
most recent period; (3) for all PRC exporters of subject merchandise
which have not been found to be entitled to a separate rate, the cash
deposit rate will be that for the PRC-wide entity; and (4) 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.
Notification to Importers
This notice also serves as a preliminary 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 double antidumping duties.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing these results in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213.
Dated: December 31, 2015.

Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
