The Department published the notice of initiation of this investigation on December 22, 2017.1 On February 2, 2017, the Department postponed the 1 See Certain Softwood Lumber Products from Canada: Initiation of Countervailing Duty Investigation, 81 FR 93897 (December 22, 2016) (Initiation Notice). VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:38 Apr 27, 2017 Jkt 241001 preliminary determination of this investigation and the revised deadline is now April 24, 2017.2 On April 13, 2017, the Department preliminarily determined that critical circumstances exist with respect to certain companies.3 For a complete description of the events that followed the initiation of this investigation, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.4 A list of topics discussed in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum is included as Appendix II 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, and is available to all parties in the Central Records Unit, room B8024 of the main Department of Commerce building.

Scope of the Investigation The product covered by this investigation is softwood lumber from Canada. For a complete description of the scope of this investigation, see Appendix I. Scope Comments In accordance with the preamble to the Department’s regulations,5 the Initiation Notice set aside a period of time for parties to raise issues regarding product coverage, (i.e., scope).6 Certain interested parties commented on the scope of the investigation as it appeared in the Initiation Notice as well as on additional language proposed by the Department. On March 29, 2017, a letter presenting a proposal for company exclusions was filed on behalf of the Government of Canada (GOC), Canadian 2 See Certain Softwood Lumber Products from Canada: Postponement of Preliminary Determination in the Countervailing Duty Investigation, 82 FR 9055 (February 2, 2017). 3 See Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Investigations of Certain Softwood Lumber Products from Canada: Preliminary Determinations of Critical Circumstances, signed April 13, 2017 (Preliminary CC Determination). 4 See Memorandum, ‘‘Decision Memorandum for the Preliminary Determination in the Countervailing Duty Investigation of Certain Softwood Lumber Products from Canada,’’ dated concurrently with, and hereby adopted by, this notice (Preliminary Decision Memorandum). 5 See Antidumping Duties; Countervailing Duties, Final Rule, 62 FR 27296, 27323 (May 19, 1997). 6 See Initiation Notice.

Comments on any proposed scope exclusions are due no later than seven days of publication of this notice in the Federal Register. Please note that the Department will not accept any new factual information in these submissions. The Department intends to set the same deadline on the record of the companion AD investigation. For further information regarding proposed scope excusions, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum accompanying this notice. Methodology The Department is conducting this investigation in accordance with section 701 of the Act. For each of the subsidy programs found countervailable, the Department preliminarily determines that there is a subsidy, i.e., a financial contribution by an ‘‘authority’’ that gives rise to a benefit to the recipient, and that the subsidy is specific.9 Alignment As noted in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum, in accordance with section 705(a)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.210(b)(4), the Department is aligning the final CVD determination in this investigation with the final determination in the companion AD 7 See letter from the Government of Canada, ‘‘Proposal for Company Exclusions,’’ dated March 29, 2017; see also letter from the Government of New Brunswick, ‘‘Softwood Lumber from Canada: Proposals for Product- or Company-Based Exclusions from the CVD Investigation,’’ dated March 31, 2017; letter from Government of British Columbia, ‘‘Certain Softwood Lumber Products from Canada: Comments in Support of Clarifying and Exclusionary Language Proposed by Canada Regarding the Scope of these Investigations,’’ dated April 3, 2017. 8 See Memorandum from Gary Taverman, Associate Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Operations, to Ronald K.
