SUMMARY: On February 7, 2017, the
Department of Commerce (the
‘‘Department’’) published its notice of
initiation and preliminary results of
changed circumstances reviews (‘‘CCR’’)
of the antidumping duty (‘‘AD’’) and
countervailing duty (‘‘CVD’’) orders on
multilayered wood flooring from the
People’s Republic of China (‘‘PRC’’)
(Preliminary Results). The Department
preliminarily determined that Yihua
Lifestyle Technology Co., Ltd. (‘‘Yihua
Tech’’) is the successor-in-interest to
Guangdong Yihua Timber Industry Co.,
Ltd. (‘‘Yihua Timber’’) for purposes of
the AD and CVD orders on wood
flooring from the PRC and, as such, is
entitled to Yihua Timber’s AD and CVD
cash deposit rates with respect to entries
of subject merchandise. We invited
interested parties to comment on the
Preliminary Results. As no parties
submitted comments, and there is no
other information or evidence on the
record calling into question our
Preliminary Results, the Department is
making no changes to the Preliminary
Results. For these final results, the
Department continues to find that Yihua
Tech is the successor-in-interest to
Yihua Timber.
DATES: Effective March 22, 2017.
