Memorandum.
Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised in the parties’ briefs
are addressed in the Issues and Decision
Memorandum. A list of the issues
addressed is attached to this notice.9
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 and in the
Central Records Unit, Room B8024 of
the main Department of Commerce
building. In addition, a complete
version of the Issues and Decision
Memorandum can be accessed directly
at https://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/.
The signed Issues and Decision
Memorandum and the electronic
version of the Issues and Decision
Memorandum are identical in content.
Changes From the Preliminary Results
Based on our analysis of the
comments received, Commerce made
certain revisions to the rates assigned to
Jiangsu Senmao and Riverside Plywood.
The Issues and Decision Memorandum
contains descriptions of these revisions.
Methodology
Commerce conducted this review in
accordance with section 751(a)(1)(A) of
the Act. For each of the subsidy
programs found countervailable, we
find that there is a subsidy, i.e., a
government-provided financial
contribution that gives rise to a benefit
to the recipient, and that the subsidy is
specific.10 The Issues and Decision
Memorandum contains a full
description of the methodology
underlying Commerce’s conclusions,
including any determination that relied
upon the use of adverse facts available
pursuant to sections 776(a) and (b) of
the Act.
Partial Rescission of Administrative
Review
As noted in the Preliminary Results,
Commerce timely received no-shipment
certifications from Anhui Boya Bamboo
& Wood Products Co., Ltd., Chinafloors
Timber (China) Co., Ltd., Hunchun
Clarification of the Scope of the Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Orders, 82 FR 27799 (June 19,
2017).
9 See Appendix I.
10 See sections 771(5)(B) and (D) of the Act
regarding financial contribution; section 771(5)(E)
of the Act regarding benefit; and section 771(5A) of
the Act regarding specificity.

Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 151 / Tuesday, August 6, 2019 / Notices
Forest Wolf Wooden Industry Co., Ltd.
(Hunchun Forest), Jiangsu Keri Wood
Co., Ltd., Jiashan On-Line Lumber Co.,
Ltd., Kingman Floors Co., Ltd., Linyi
Bonn Flooring Manufacturing Co., Ltd.,
and Zhejiang Shiyou Timber Co., Ltd.
We inquired with U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (CBP) whether these
companies had shipped merchandise to
the United States during the POR. CBP
provided no evidence to contradict the
claims of no shipments made by these
companies, except for Hunchun Forest.
Accordingly, we stated our intention to
rescind the review with respect to these
companies in the Preliminary Results.
As the facts have remained the same
since the Preliminary Results, we are
rescinding the administrative review of
these companies, pursuant to 19 CFR
351.213(d)(3).
On October 29, 2018, Huzhou Muyun
Wood Co., Ltd. (Muyun Wood) filed a
no-shipment certification. On November
13, 2018, we rejected Muyun Wood’s
request for no-shipment status because
the request was untimely filed.
Therefore, we are including Muyun
Wood in this administrative review for
purposes of the final results.
Hunchun Forest also timely filed a
no-shipment certification. However,
Hunchun Forest subsequently withdrew
its no-shipment submission. Therefore,
we are including Hunchun Forest in this
administrative review for purposes of
the final results.
Rate for Non-Selected Companies
Under Review
In this review, in addition to the two
selected mandatory respondents, there
are 132 companies for which a review
was requested and not rescinded, but
which were not selected for individual
examination (non-selected companies).
For these companies, we applied the
average of the rates calculated for the
mandatory respondents, Jiangsu Senmao
and Riverside Plywood, which are
above de minimis. For further
information on the calculation of the
non-selected rate, refer to the section in
the Issues and Decision Memorandum
entitled, ‘‘Ad Valorem Rate for NonSelected Companies Under Review.’’
Concerning Jiaxing Brilliant’s April 23,
2019, comments, we note that we
inadvertently included the company in
our review. Jiaxing Brilliant was
excluded from the order as a result of
the final determination in the
investigation segment of this case.11
Therefore, Jiaxing Brilliant is not subject
to this review and is excluded from the
list of non-selected companies receiving
a rate below.
Final Results

351.221(b)(4)(i), we determine the

Mammals; Taking Marine Mammals
Incidental to U.S. Navy Training and
Testing Activities in the Northwest
Training and Testing Study Area
National Marine Fisheries
Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA),
Commerce.
ACTION: Notice; receipt of application for
a Letter of Authorization; request for
comments and information.
Background
NMFS has received a request
from the U.S. Navy (Navy) for
authorization to take marine mammals
incidental to training and testing
activities conducted in the Northwest
Training and Testing (NWTT) Study
Area for a period of seven years, from
November, 2020 through November,
2027. Pursuant to regulations
implementing the Marine Mammal
Protection Act (MMPA), NMFS is
announcing receipt of the Navy’s
request for the development and
implementation of regulations
governing the incidental taking of
marine mammals. NMFS invites the
public to provide information,
suggestions, and comments on the
Navy’s application and request.
DATES: Comments and information must
be received no later than September 5,
2019.
ADDRESSES: Comments on the
application should be addressed to Jolie
Harrison, Chief, Permits and
Conservation Division, Office of
Protected Resources, National Marine
Fisheries Service. Physical comments
should be sent to 1315 East-West
Highway, Silver Spring, MD 20910 and
electronic comments should be sent to
ITP.Piniak@noaa.gov.
Instructions: NMFS is not responsible
for comments sent by any other method,
to any other address or individual, or
received after the end of the comment
period. Comments received
electronically, including all
attachments, must not exceed a 25megabyte file size. Attachments to
electronic comments will be accepted in
Microsoft Word or Excel or Adobe PDF
file formats only. All comments
received are a part of the public record
Sections 101(a)(5)(A) and (D) of the
MMPA (16 U.S.C. 1361 et seq.) direct
the Secretary of Commerce (Secretary)
to allow, upon request, the incidental,
but not intentional taking of marine
mammals by U.S. citizens who engage
in a specified activity (other than
commercial fishing) within a specified
geographic region if certain findings are
made and either regulations are issued
or, if the taking is limited to harassment,
notice of a proposed authorization is
provided to the public for review.
An authorization for incidental
takings shall be granted if NMFS finds
that the taking will have a negligible
impact on the species or stock(s), will
not have an unmitigable adverse impact
on the availability of the species or
stock(s) for subsistence uses (where
relevant), and if the permissible
methods of taking and requirements
pertaining to the mitigation, monitoring
and reporting of such takings are set
forth.
NMFS has defined ‘‘negligible
impact’’ in 50 CFR 216.103 as an impact
resulting from the specified activity that
cannot be reasonably expected to, and is
not reasonably likely to, adversely affect
the species or stock through effects on
annual rates of recruitment or survival.
The MMPA states that the term ‘‘take’’
means to harass, hunt, capture, kill or
attempt to harass, hunt, capture, or kill
any marine mammal.
Except with respect to certain
activities not pertinent here, the MMPA
defines ‘‘harassment’’ as any act of
pursuit, torment, or annoyance which:
(i) Has the potential to injure a marine
mammal or marine mammal stock in the
wild (Level A harassment); or (ii) has
the potential to disturb a marine

mammal or marine mammal stock in the
wild by causing disruption of behavioral
patterns, including, but not limited to,
migration, breathing, nursing, breeding,
feeding, or sheltering (Level B
harassment).
The National Defense Authorization
Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2004 (Public
Law (Pub. L.) 108–136) removed the
‘‘small numbers’’ and ‘‘specified
geographical region’’ limitations
indicated above and amended the
definition of ‘‘harassment’’ as it applies
to a ‘‘military readiness activity’’ to read
as follows (Section 3(18)(B) of the
MMPA): (i) Any act that injures or has
the significant potential to injure a
marine mammal or marine mammal
stock in the wild (Level A harassment);
or (ii) Any act that disturbs or is likely
to disturb a marine mammal or marine
mammal stock in the wild by causing
disruption of natural behavioral
patterns, including, but not limited to,
migration, surfacing, nursing, breeding,
feeding, or sheltering, to a point where
such behavioral patterns are abandoned
or significantly altered (Level B
harassment). On August 13, 2018, the
2019 NDAA (Pub. L. 115–232) amended
the MMPA to allow incidental take
regulations for military readiness
activities to be issued for up to seven
years.
Summary of Request
On March 11, 2019, NMFS received
an adequate and complete application
from the Navy requesting authorization
for the take of marine mammals, by
Level A harassment and B harassment,
incidental to training, testing, and
routine military operations (all
categorized as military readiness
activities) from the use of sonar and
other transducers and in-water
detonations. In addition, the Navy is
requesting authorization of three takes
of large whales by serious injury or
mortality resulting from vessel strikes.
NMFS received a revised application on
June 24, 2019. The requested regulations
would be valid for seven years, from
2020 through 2027.
This will be the third time NMFS has
promulgated incidental take regulations
pursuant to the MMPA relating to
similar military readiness activities in
the NWTT Study Area, following those
effective from November 9, 2010
through November 8, 2015 (75 FR
69275; November 10, 2010) and from
November 9, 2015 through November 8,
2010 (80 FR 73555; November 24, 2015).
Description of the Specified Activity
The NWTT Study Area is composed
of established maritime operating and
warning areas in the eastern North

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Commerce published the Preliminary Results of the administrative
review in the Federal Register on December 28, 2018.\1\ For the events

Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised in the parties' briefs are addressed in the
Issues and Decision Memorandum. A list of the issues addressed is
attached to this notice.\9\ 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

https://access.trade.gov and in the Central Records Unit, Room B8024 of
the main Department of Commerce building. In addition, a complete
version of the Issues and Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly
at https://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/. The signed Issues and Decision
Memorandum and the electronic version of the Issues and Decision
Memorandum are identical in content.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\9\ See Appendix I.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Changes From the Preliminary Results
Based on our analysis of the comments received, Commerce made
certain revisions to the rates assigned to Jiangsu Senmao and Riverside
Plywood. The Issues and Decision Memorandum contains descriptions of
these revisions.
Methodology
Commerce conducted this review in accordance with section
751(a)(1)(A) of the Act. For each of the subsidy programs found
countervailable, we find that there is a subsidy, i.e., a government-
provided financial contribution that gives rise to a benefit to the
recipient, and that the subsidy is specific.\10\ The Issues and
Decision Memorandum contains a full description of the methodology
underlying Commerce's conclusions, including any determination that
relied upon the use of adverse facts available pursuant to sections
776(a) and (b) of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\10\ See sections 771(5)(B) and (D) of the Act regarding
financial contribution; section 771(5)(E) of the Act regarding
benefit; and section 771(5A) of the Act regarding specificity.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Partial Rescission of Administrative Review
As noted in the Preliminary Results, Commerce timely received no-
shipment certifications from Anhui Boya Bamboo & Wood Products Co.,
Ltd., Chinafloors Timber (China) Co., Ltd., Hunchun
[[Page 38222]]
Forest Wolf Wooden Industry Co., Ltd. (Hunchun Forest), Jiangsu Keri
Wood Co., Ltd., Jiashan On-Line Lumber Co., Ltd., Kingman Floors Co.,
Ltd., Linyi Bonn Flooring Manufacturing Co., Ltd., and Zhejiang Shiyou
Timber Co., Ltd. We inquired with U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(CBP) whether these companies had shipped merchandise to the United
States during the POR. CBP provided no evidence to contradict the
claims of no shipments made by these companies, except for Hunchun
Forest. Accordingly, we stated our intention to rescind the review with
respect to these companies in the Preliminary Results. As the facts
have remained the same since the Preliminary Results, we are rescinding
the administrative review of these companies, pursuant to 19 CFR
351.213(d)(3).
On October 29, 2018, Huzhou Muyun Wood Co., Ltd. (Muyun Wood) filed
a no-shipment certification. On November 13, 2018, we rejected Muyun
Wood's request for no-shipment status because the request was untimely
filed. Therefore, we are including Muyun Wood in this administrative
review for purposes of the final results.
Hunchun Forest also timely filed a no-shipment certification.
However, Hunchun Forest subsequently withdrew its no-shipment
submission. Therefore, we are including Hunchun Forest in this
administrative review for purposes of the final results.
Rate for Non-Selected Companies Under Review
In this review, in addition to the two selected mandatory
respondents, there are 132 companies for which a review was requested
and not rescinded, but which were not selected for individual
examination (non-selected companies). For these companies, we applied
the average of the rates calculated for the mandatory respondents,
Jiangsu Senmao and Riverside Plywood, which are above de minimis. For
further information on the calculation of the non-selected rate, refer
to the section in the Issues and Decision Memorandum entitled, ``Ad
Valorem Rate for Non-Selected Companies Under Review.'' Concerning
Jiaxing Brilliant's April 23, 2019, comments, we note that we
inadvertently included the company in our review. Jiaxing Brilliant was
excluded from the order as a result of the final determination in the
investigation segment of this case.\11\ Therefore, Jiaxing Brilliant is
not subject to this review and is excluded from the list of non-
selected companies receiving a rate below.

of China: Countervailing Duty Order, 76 FR 76693, 76694 (December 8,

Commerce also intends to instruct CBP to collect cash deposits of
estimated countervailing duties in the amounts shown for each of the
respective companies listed above on shipments of subject merchandise
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the
