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 Issues and
Decision Memorandum, hereby adopted
by this notice.6 The Issues and Decision
Memorandum is a public document and
is on file electronically via Enforcement
and Compliance’s Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Centralized

Final Determination of No Shipments
In the Preliminary Results, we found
that nine companies had no shipments
during the POR.7 Power Dekor
submitted comments stating the
Department made an inadvertent error
in the Preliminary Results by not
recognizing Power Dekor’s timely filed
no-shipment letter.8 We have reviewed
Power Dekor’s comments and noshipment letter and have found that
Power Dekor had no shipments during
this POR.9 Therefore, for these Final
Results, we find that a total of ten
companies had no shipments during the
POR.10 Consistent with our ‘‘automatic
assessment’’ clarification, we will issue
appropriate instructions with respect to
these companies to CBP based on our
Final Results.11 In addition, as
discussed below, these companies will
maintain their rate from the most recent
segment in which they participated.
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
• We granted Power Dekor no
shipment status during the POR.12
• We assigned a separate rate to the
Fusong Jinlong Group, which includes
all four members of the group: Fusong
Jinlong Wooden Group Co., Ltd., Fusong
Qianqiu Wooden Product Co., Ltd.,
Dalian Qianqiu Wooden Product Co.,
Ltd., and Fusong Jinqiu Wooden
Product Co., Ltd.13
• We revised the calculation of the
surrogate value for water in Penghong’s
margin program by converting MT to KG
before applying the water surrogate
value to the reported water
consumption.14
• We added the value of free of
charge inputs to Penghong’s calculation
of export price as applicable.15
• We corrected the surrogate values
for red oak, jatoba, plastic strip, and
overlaying glue that are applicable for
Senmao; that were inadvertently
assigned incorrect surrogate values in
the Preliminary Results.16
• We revised the surrogate value for
plywood for Senmao to reflect
Romanian Harmonized Tariff Schedule
(HTS) 441232 rather than using a simple
average of Romanian HTS 44123210 and
44123190.17
Final Results of the Administrative
Review
The Department determines that
twenty companies subject to this review
did not establish eligibility for a
separate rate. As such, we determine
they are part of the PRC-wide entity.18
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,19 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 calculated a separate rate
based on the expected method
according to 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act. For
further discussion see accompanying
Issues and Decisions Memorandum at
comment 3.
For companies subject to this review
that have established their eligibility for
a separate rate, the Department
determines that the following dumping
margins exist for the POR from
December 1, 2014, through November
30, 2015:

margin is above de minimis (i.e., 0.50
percent), the Department will calculate
importer- (or customer)-specific
assessment rates for merchandise
subject to this review. In these Final
Results, the Department applied the
assessment rate calculation method
adopted in the Final Modification for
Reviews.29 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.30 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).
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.
Assessment Rates
The Department will determine, and
CBP shall assess, antidumping duties on
all appropriate entries covered by this
review.28 The Department intends to
issue assessment instructions to CBP 15
days after the publication date of these
Final Results of review. In accordance
with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), we are
calculating importer- (or customer-)

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 the Initiation
Notice.24 Accordingly, the Department
rescinded this review with respect to
Jiangsu Keri Wood Co., Ltd., in
accordance with 19 CFR
351.213(d)(1).25 The Department
reviewed Jiangsu Keri Wood Co., Ltd. as
part of its concurrent new shipper
review and intends to issue appropriate
instructions to CBP based on the results
therein.26
With respect to Dongtai Zhangshi
Wood Industry Co., Ltd. and Huzhou
Muyun Wood Co., Ltd., the Department
has 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’’).27 Because the sale
subject to this administrative review is
the same sale 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
rescinding this review with respect to
Dongtai Zhangshi Wood Industry Co.,
Ltd. and Huzhou Muyun Wood Co., Ltd.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit
requirements will be effective upon
publication of these Final Results of
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
rate on a common basis to the four companies that
comprise the Fusong Jinlong Group.
23 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

Disclosure
The Department intends to disclose
calculations performed for these Final
Results to the parties within five days of
the date of publication of this notice.31
Notification to Importers
This notice also 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 double antidumping duties.
Administrative Protective Order (APO)
This notice also serves as a final
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(a)(3),
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.
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

respectively.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On December 7, 2009, the Department
published its final determination in the
CVD investigation of OCTG from the
PRC.1 On January 20, 2010, the
Department published an amended final
determination and the CVD order.2
The Court remanded aspects of the
Department’s findings for further
consideration.3 In particular, in the
Remand and Opinion Order, the CIT
ordered the Department to clarify or
reconsider: (1) Its use of the date of the
PRC accession to the World Trade
Organization (WTO) as a uniform cut-off
date for identifying and measuring
subsidies in the PRC; (2) its attribution
methodology for subsidies received by
certain of Changbao’s and TPCO’s
subsidiaries; (3) its decision to include
Jianli’s freight quote in the benchmark
price for steel rounds and billets; and (4)
its decision not to tie the benefit
received by TPCO from the provision of
steel rounds and billets at less-thanadequate remuneration to its sales of
seamless steel pipe.4 Finally, the Court
granted the Department’s request for a
voluntary remand to recalculate the
benchmark for steel rounds without
Steel Business Briefing (SBB) East Asia
pricing data.5
On December 20, 2016, the
Department issued its Remand
Redetermination.6 In its Remand
Redetermination, the Department: (1)
Evaluated certain subsidies and
determined a date prior to the WTO
accession date on which subsidies
provided to the respondents could be

2010) (Amended Final Determination and Order).

identified and measured for purposes of
the remand; (2) changed the
methodology for attributing to Changbao
and TPCO subsidies provided to certain
of their subsidiaries; (3) continued to
find that the freight rates used by the
Department in the investigation to
adjust the benchmark for steel rounds
are representative of what an importer
paid or would pay if it imported the
product; (4) clarified the finding that the
provision of steel rounds was not tied to
TPCO’s seamless steel pipe production;
and (5) removed SBB East Asia pricing
data from the benchmark for steel
rounds. The resulting calculations
changed the CVD rates calculated for
Changbao, Jianli, TPCO, and Wuxi, as
well as their respective cross-owned
companies, and the all-others rate.
On May 3, 2017, the CIT sustained the
Department’s Remand
Redetermination.7 In particular, the
Court held that the Remand
Redetermination ‘‘adequately
address{ed} the concerns raised in the
court’s prior decision’’ and was
‘‘supported by substantial evidence.’’ 8
Timken Notice
In its decision in Timken,9 as clarified
by Diamond Sawblades,10 the United
States Court of Appeals for the Federal
Circuit (CAFC) held that, pursuant to
section 516A(e) of the Tariff Act of
1930, as amended (the Act), the
Department must publish a notice of a
court decision that is not ‘‘in harmony’’
with a Department determination and
must suspend liquidation of entries
pending a ‘‘conclusive’’ court decision.
The CIT’s May 3, 2017, final judgment
affirming the Remand Redetermination
constitutes a final decision of that court
which is not in harmony with the
Amended Final Determination and
Order. This notice is published in
fulfillment of the publication
requirements of Timken.
Amended Final Determination
As there is now final court decision,
the Department amends its Amended
Final Determination and Order. The
Department finds that the following
revised net countervailable subsidy
rates exist:

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 Issues and Decision Memorandum, hereby adopted
by this notice.\6\ The Issues and 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 Issues and Decision Memorandum is also available

Memorandum is provided in the Appendix to this notice.

Final Determination of No Shipments
In the Preliminary Results, we found that nine companies had no
shipments during the POR.\7\ Power Dekor submitted comments stating the
Department made an inadvertent error in the Preliminary Results by not
recognizing Power Dekor's timely filed no-shipment letter.\8\ We have
reviewed Power Dekor's comments and no-shipment letter and have found
that Power Dekor had no shipments during this POR.\9\ Therefore, for
these Final Results, we find that a total of ten companies had no
shipments during the POR.\10\ Consistent with our ``automatic
assessment'' clarification, we will issue appropriate instructions with
respect to these companies to CBP based on our Final Results.\11\ In
addition, as discussed below, these companies will maintain their rate
from the most recent segment in which they participated.

Group Co., Ltd., Fusong Qianqiu Wooden Product Co., Ltd., Dalian
Qianqiu Wooden Product Co., Ltd., and Fusong Jinqiu Wooden Product Co.,
Ltd.\13\

Final Results of the Administrative Review
The Department determines that twenty companies subject to this
review did not establish eligibility for a separate rate. As such, we
determine they are part of the PRC-wide entity.\18\ 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,\19\ 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
calculated a separate rate based on the expected method according to
735(c)(5)(A) of the Act. For further discussion see accompanying Issues
and Decisions Memorandum at comment 3.

Final Partial Rescission of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Department will rescind an
[[Page 25769]]
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 the
Initiation Notice.\24\ Accordingly, the Department rescinded this
review with respect to Jiangsu Keri Wood Co., Ltd., in accordance with
19 CFR 351.213(d)(1).\25\ The Department reviewed Jiangsu Keri Wood
Co., Ltd. as part of its concurrent new shipper review and intends to
issue appropriate instructions to CBP based on the results therein.\26\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\20\ The mandatory respondents for this review included Dalian
Penghong Floor Products Co., Ltd./Dalian Shumaike Floor
Manufacturing Co., Ltd. and Jiangsu Senmao Bamboo and Wood Industry
Co., Ltd.
\21\ See Issues and Decisions Memorandum at comment 5.
\22\ In prior reviews, the Department determined that the four
affiliated companies that comprise the Fusong Jinlong Group, namely,
Fusong Jinlong Wooden Group Co., Ltd., Fusong Qianqiu Wooden Product
Co., Ltd., Dalian Qianqiu Wooden Product Co., Ltd., and Fusong
Jinqiu Wooden Product Co., Ltd., are sufficiently interrelated that
for antidumping analysis purposes they should be treated together,
and should together be assigned the separate rate on a common basis.
The Department has received no information to contradict this
finding. Therefore, in these Final Results, the Department has
applied the separate rate on a common basis to the four companies
that comprise the Fusong Jinlong Group.
\23\ 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.
\24\ See Letter from Jiangsu Keri Wood Co., Ltd. to the
Department regarding ``Withdrawing of Review Request'' dated
February 22, 2016.
\25\ See Preliminary Results.
\26\ See Multilayered Wood Flooring from the People's Republic
of China: Final Results and Partial Rescission of Antidumping Duty
New Shipper Reviews; 2014-2015, dated concurrently with this notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
With respect to Dongtai Zhangshi Wood Industry Co., Ltd. and Huzhou
Muyun Wood Co., Ltd., the Department has 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'').\27\ Because the sale subject to this
administrative review is the same sale 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 rescinding this review with
respect to Dongtai Zhangshi Wood Industry Co., Ltd. and Huzhou Muyun
Wood Co., Ltd.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\27\ See Multilayered Wood Flooring from the People's Republic
of China: Rescission of Antidumping Duty New Shipper Reviews; 2014-
2015, 81 FR 74393 (October 26, 2016).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Assessment Rates
The Department will determine, and CBP shall assess, antidumping
duties on all appropriate entries covered by this review.\28\ The
Department intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP 15 days
after the publication date of these Final Results of review. 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- (or customer)-specific assessment
rates for merchandise subject to this review. In these Final Results,
the Department applied the assessment rate calculation method adopted
in the Final Modification for Reviews.\29\ 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.\30\ 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).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\28\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
\29\ 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).
\30\ See 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 these Final Results of 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.
Disclosure
The Department intends to disclose calculations performed for these
Final Results to the parties within five days of the date of
publication of this notice.\31\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\31\ See 19 CFR 351.224(b).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notification to Importers
This notice also 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 double antidumping duties.
Administrative Protective Order (APO)
This notice also serves as a final 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(a)(3), 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.
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: May 26, 2017.
