See the revised scope in Appendix I to this notice. Methodology The Department is conducting this investigation in accordance with section 731 of the Act. The Department calculated export prices in accordance with section 772(a) of the Act.

(Bayley), certain separate rate applicants, and the PRC-wide entity. As the Department preliminarily determined that Bayley is not entitled to a separate rate, the company is included within the PRC-wide entity. For a full description of the methodology underlying the Department’s preliminary determination, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. Preliminary Affirmative Determination of Critical Circumstances, in Part In accordance with section 733(e) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.206, the Department preliminarily determines that critical circumstances exist with respect to imports of hardwood plywood from the PRC for certain separate rate respondents and the PRCwide entity (of which Bayley and certain separate rate respondents are a part), but do not exist for Linyi Chengen Import and Export Co., Ltd. and certain separate rate respondents. For a full description of the methodology and results of the Department’s critical circumstances analysis, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. 6 See Memorandum, ‘‘Certain Hardwood Plywood Products from the People’s Republic of China: Scope Comments Decision Memorandum for the Preliminary Determinations’’ (Preliminary Scope Decision Memorandum), dated April 17, 2017, and hereby adopted by, this preliminary determination; Memorandum, ‘‘Certain Hardwood Plywood Products from the People’s Republic of China: Additional Scope Comments Preliminary Decision Memorandum and Extension of Deadlines for Scope Case Briefs and Scope Rebuttal Briefs’’ (Additional Preliminary Scope Decision Memorandum), dated concurrently with, and hereby adopted by, this preliminary determination.
