date of this notice, as provided by
section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For
the exporters listed above, the cash
deposit rate will be equal to the
weighted-average dumping margin
established in the final results of this
review (except, if the rate is zero or de
minimis, then the cash deposit rate will
be zero for that exporter); (2) for
previously investigated or reviewed 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 recently completed segment of this
proceeding; (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 the
rate for the PRC-wide entity; and (4) for
all non-PRC exporters of subject
merchandise that 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 POR.
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.
We are issuing and publishing these
results in accordance with sections
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19
CFR 351.221(b)(4).
Dated: December 5, 2016.

Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and
Compliance.

Federal Register a notice of opportunity
to request an administrative review of
the antidumping duty order on wood
flooring from the PRC.2 On December
30, 2015, and December 31, 2015, the
Department received requests from 74
foreign and domestic interested parties
for administrative reviews of wood
flooring from the PRC. Additionally, on
December 31, 2015, the Department
received a request from the Coalition for
American Hardwood Parity
(‘‘Petitioner’’), petitioner in the
underlying investigation, to conduct
administrative reviews of numerous
exporters/producers of wood flooring
from the PRC, many of which were
already the subject of review requests
filed by other parties. On February 9,
2016, the Department published in the
Federal Register a notice of initiation of
an administrative review of the wood
flooring order with respect to 111
companies for which a timely request
for an administrative review of the
applicable antidumping duty order was
submitted.3 On March 3, 2016, the
Department published in the Federal
Register a Second Initiation Notice to
correct an inadvertent misspelling of
one company’s name in the First
Initiation Notice.4 Requesting parties
have subsequently timely withdrawn all
review requests for one company for
which the Department initiated a
review, as discussed below.
Scope of the Order
The merchandise covered by the order
includes MLWF, subject to certain
exceptions.5 Imports of the subject
merchandise are provided for under the
following subheadings of the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (‘‘HTSUS’’): 4412.31.0520;

Tolling of Deadline of Preliminary
Results of Review/Extension of
Deadlines for Preliminary Results
As explained in the memorandum
from the Acting Assistant Secretary for
Enforcement and Compliance, the
Department exercised its discretion to
toll all administrative deadlines due to
the closure of the Federal Government
between January 22 and January 26,
2016. All deadlines in this segment of
the proceeding were extended by four
business days.6 On August 11, 2016, the
Department extended the time period
for issuing the preliminary results of

Lorentzen, Acting Assistant Secretary for

this review until November 30, 2016.7
On November 17, 2016 the Department
extended the time period for issuing the
preliminary results of this review again,
until December 20, 2016.8
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.9 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/

Decision Memorandum and the

Decision Memorandum are identical in
content.

which is on the record of this review,10
the Department preliminarily finds that:
(1) Penghong is affiliated with both a
certain glue producer and a certain
wood processor within the meaning of
sections 771(33)(A), (F), and (G) of the
Act; and (2) that 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 Penghong and Shumaike as a
single entity for antidumping duty
purposes, within the meaning of 19 CFR
351.401(f), because we continue to 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.11
Verification
As provided in section 782(i) of the
Act, the Department verified
information provided by the Penghong
and Senmao.12 The Department
conducted the verification using
standard verification procedures
including the examination of relevant
sales, financial, and other records and
the selection and review of original
documentation containing relevant
information. The results of the
verification are outlined in the public
version of the verification reports. The
verification reports are on file
electronically via ACCESS.
Preliminary Results of Review
The Department preliminarily finds
that twenty-four 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.13 Because no party

Preliminary Partial Rescission of
Antidumping Duty Administrative
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 the review
withdraws its request within 90 days of
the date of publication of the notice of
initiation of the requested review.
Jiangsu Keri Wood Co., Ltd. withdrew
its respective request for an
administrative review within 90 days of
the date of publication of Initiation
Notice.17 Accordingly, the Department
is rescinding this review with respect to
Jiangsu Keri Wood Co., Ltd., in
accordance with 19 CFR
351.213(d)(1).18
16 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

With respect to Dongtai Zhangshi

Muyun Wood Co., Ltd., the Department
preliminarily found each of these
company’s one sale during the POR to
be a non-bona fide sale in a concurrent
new shipper review (‘‘NSR’’).19 Because
the sale subject to this administrative
review is the same sale preliminarily
found to be a non-bona fide sale in the

other reviewable sales by either
company during the POR, we are
preliminarily rescinding this review

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.27 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.28 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.29 We intend to
instruct CBP to liquidate entries
containing subject merchandise

Additionally, for the companies for
which this review is rescinded,
antidumping duties shall be assessed at
rates equal to the cash deposit of
estimated antidumping duties required
at the time of entry, or withdrawal from
warehouse, for consumption, in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(c)(l)(i).
The Department intends to issue
appropriate assessment instructions
directly to CBP 15 days after publication

In accordance with section
751(a)(2)(C) of the Act, the final results
of this review shall be the basis for the
assessment of antidumping duties on

final results of this review and for future
deposits of estimated duties, where
applicable.
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

Multilayered Wood Flooring From the People's Republic of China:
Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review,
Preliminary Determination of No Shipments, and Preliminary Partial
Rescission of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review; 2014-2015
AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration,
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, 2014, through November
30, 2015. The review covers two mandatory respondents, Dalian Penghong
Floor Products Co., Ltd. (``Penghong'') and Jiangsu Senmao Bamboo and
Wood Industry Co., Ltd. (``Senmao''). We preliminarily find that both
respondents made sales of subject merchandise at less than normal value
(``NV'').
DATES: Effective December 27, 2016.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: William Horn or Aleksandras Nakutis,
AD/CVD Operations, Office IV, Enforcement & Compliance, International
Trade Administration, Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue
NW., Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482-2615, and (202) 482-
3147, respectively.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On December 8, 2011, the Department published in the Federal
Register an antidumping duty order on wood flooring from the PRC.\1\ On
December 1, 2015, the Department published in the Federal Register a
notice of opportunity to request an administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on wood flooring from the PRC.\2\ On December
30, 2015, and December 31, 2015, the Department received requests from
74 foreign and domestic interested parties for administrative reviews
of wood flooring from the PRC. Additionally, on December 31, 2015, the
Department received a request from the Coalition for American Hardwood
Parity (``Petitioner''), petitioner in the underlying investigation, to
conduct administrative reviews of numerous exporters/producers of wood
flooring from the PRC, many of which were already the subject of review
requests filed by other parties. On February 9, 2016, the Department
published in the Federal Register a notice of initiation of an
administrative review of the wood flooring order with respect to 111
companies for which a timely request for an administrative review of
the applicable antidumping duty order was submitted.\3\ On March 3,
2016, the Department published in the Federal Register a Second
Initiation Notice to correct an inadvertent misspelling of one
company's name in the First Initiation Notice.\4\ Requesting parties
have subsequently timely withdrawn all review requests for one company
for which the Department initiated a review, as discussed below.

Tolling of Deadline of Preliminary Results of Review/Extension of
Deadlines for Preliminary Results
As explained in the memorandum from the Acting Assistant Secretary
for Enforcement and Compliance, the Department exercised its discretion
to toll all administrative deadlines due to the closure of the Federal
Government between January 22 and January 26, 2016. All deadlines in
this segment of the proceeding were extended by four business days.\6\
On August 11, 2016, the Department extended the time period for issuing
the preliminary results of this review until November 30, 2016.\7\ On
November 17, 2016 the Department extended the time period for issuing
the preliminary results of this review again, until December 20,

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.\9\ 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\9\ A list of topics discussed in the Preliminary Decision
Memorandum is provided in the Appendix to this notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Affiliation and Collapsing
Based on evidence presented in Penghong's questionnaire responses
and a collapsing/single entity memorandum from a prior segment of this
proceeding which is on the record of this review,\10\ the Department
preliminarily finds that: (1) Penghong is affiliated with both a
certain glue producer and a certain wood processor within the meaning
of sections 771(33)(A), (F), and (G) of the Act; and (2) that 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 Penghong and Shumaike as a
single entity for antidumping duty purposes, within the meaning of 19
CFR 351.401(f), because we continue to 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.\11\

Affiliation and Single Entity Memorandum dated December 31, 2015

Affiliation memo'').

Affiliation and Single Entity Memorandum'' dated December 20, 2016.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Verification
As provided in section 782(i) of the Act, the Department verified
information provided by the Penghong and Senmao.\12\ The Department
conducted the verification using standard verification procedures
including the examination of relevant sales, financial, and other
records and the selection and review of original documentation
containing relevant information. The results of the verification are
outlined in the public version of the verification reports. The
verification reports are on file electronically via ACCESS.

Jiangsu Senmao Bamboo and Wood Industry Co., Ltd.,'' dated December
08, 2016.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Preliminary Results of Review
The Department preliminarily finds that twenty-four 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.\13\ Because no party
[[Page 95116]]
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,\14\ 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\13\ The following companies were named in the Initiation of
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews, 81 FR
6832, 6835-37 (February 9, 2016) (``First Initiation Notice'') and
81 FR 11179, 11182 (March 3, 2016) (``Second Initiation Notice''),
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
Qianqiu Wooden Product Co., Ltd., Fusong Jinqui Wooden Product Co.,
Ltd., Fusong Qianqiu Wooden Products Co., Ltd., HaiLin XinCheng
Wooden Products, Ltd., Hangzhou Dazhuang Floor Co., Ltd (dba Dasso
Industrial Group Co., Ltd)., Hangzhou Huahi Wood Industry Co., Ltd.,
Huber Engineering Wood Corp., Huzhou City Nanxun Guangda Wood Co.,
Ltd., Huzhou Fuma Wood Co., Ltd., Jiafeng Wood (Suzhou) Co., Ltd.,
Qingdao Barry Flooring Co., Ltd., Shandong Kaiyuan Wood Industry
Co., Ltd., Shanghai Anxin (Weiguang) Timber Co., Ltd., Shanghai
Eswell Timber Co., Ltd., Shanghai New Sihe Wood Co., Ltd., Shanghai
Shenlin Corporation, Vicwood Industry (Suzhou) Co. Ltd., Yixing
Lion-King Timber Industry, Zhejiang AnJi XinFeng Bamboo & Wood
Industry Co., Ltd., Zhejiang Desheng Wood Industry Co., Ltd., and
Zhejiang Haoyun Wooden Co., Ltd.
\14\ 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 dumping margins exist for the POR from December 1,
2014, through November 30, 2015: \15\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\15\ 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 Xinjinghua Wood Co., Ltd.,
Guangzhou Homebon Timber Manufacturing Co., Ltd., Henan Xingwangjia
Technology Co., Ltd., Jiangsu Yuhui International Trade Co., Ltd.,
Shenyang Senwang Wooden Industry Co., Ltd., Xuzhou Antop
International Trade Co., Ltd., Yekalon Industry Inc., Zhejiang
Shuimojiangnan New Material Technology Co., Ltd.

\16\ 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 is assigned to
Linyi Youyou Wood Co., Ltd.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Preliminary Partial Rescission of Antidumping Duty Administrative
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
the review withdraws its request within 90 days of the date of
publication of the notice of initiation of the requested review.
Jiangsu Keri Wood Co., Ltd. withdrew its respective request for an
administrative review within 90 days of the date of publication of
Initiation Notice.\17\ Accordingly, the Department is rescinding this
review with respect to Jiangsu Keri Wood Co., Ltd., in accordance with
19 CFR 351.213(d)(1).\18\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\17\ See Letter from Jiangsu Keri Wood Co., Ltd. to the
Department regarding ``Withdrawal of Review Request'' dated February
22, 2016.
\18\ See Appendix. As stated in Change in Practice in NME
Reviews, the Department will no longer consider the non-market
economy (``NME'') entity as an exporter conditionally subject to
administrative reviews. 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
(November 4, 2013) (``Change in Practice in NME Reviews''). The PRC-
wide entity is not subject to this administrative review because no
interested party requested a review of the entity. See First
Initiation Notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
With respect to Dongtai Zhangshi Wood Industry Co., Ltd. and Huzhou
Muyun Wood Co., Ltd., the Department preliminarily found each of these
company's one sale during the POR to be a non-bona fide sale in a
concurrent new shipper review (``NSR'').\19\ Because the sale subject
to this administrative review is the same sale preliminarily found to
be a non-bona fide sale in the new shipper review, and there are no
other reviewable sales by either company during the POR, we are
preliminarily rescinding this review with respect to Dongtai Zhangshi
Wood Industry Co., Ltd. and Huzhou Muyun Wood Co., Ltd.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.\27\ 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.\28\ 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.\29\ 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).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\27\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
\28\ See Antidumping Proceeding Calculation of the Weighted-
Average Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping
Duty Proceedings; Final Modification, 77 FR 8101 (February 14, 2012)
(``Final Modification for Reviews'').
\29\ See 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Additionally, for the companies for which this review is rescinded,
antidumping duties shall be assessed at rates equal to the cash deposit
of estimated antidumping duties required at the time of entry, or
withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(c)(l)(i). The Department intends to issue appropriate
assessment instructions directly to CBP 15 days after publication of
this notice.
In accordance with section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act, the final
results of this review shall be the basis for the assessment of
antidumping duties on entries of merchandise covered by the final
results of this review and for future deposits of estimated duties,
where applicable.
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 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 20, 2016.
