SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Commerce is conducting an
administrative review and an aligned
new shipper review (NSR) of the
antidumping duty order on multilayered
wood flooring (MLWF) from the
People’s Republic of China (China). The
period of review (POR) for both reviews
is December 1, 2017 through November
30, 2018. The administrative review
covers 99 companies, including two
mandatory respondents: The Fusong
Jinlong Group 1 (Jinlong) and Jiangsu
Guyu International Trade Co., Ltd.
(Guyu). The new shipper review covers
Muchsee Wood (Chuzhou) Co., Ltd.
(Muchsee Wood). We preliminarily
determine that sales of subject
merchandise by Jinlong and Guyu have
not been made at prices below NV.2 We
also preliminarily determine that a
single sale of subject merchandise by
Muchsee Wood has not been made at
prices below NV.3 In addition, we are
preliminarily granting separate rates to
Jinlong, Guyu, Muchsee Wood and 54
producers/exporters, and determine that
21 producer/exporters made no
shipments of subject merchandise
during the POR. Finally, we are
rescinding the review with respect to

Scope of the Order 4
The product covered by the Order is
MLWF from China. For a complete
description of the scope of this
administrative review, see the
Preliminary Decision Memorandum.
Partial Rescission of Review
Commerce initiated a review of 99
companies in this administrative
review 5 and one company in this new
shipper review.6 Shenzhenshi Huanwei
Woods Co., Ltd. (Huanwei Woods) and
Jinqiao Flooring submitted timely
requests to withdraw from the
administrative review.7 No other parties
requested a review of Jinqiao Flooring;
however, the American Manufacturers
of Multilayered Wood Flooring (the
petitioners) requested a review of
Huanwei Woods.8 Accordingly,
Commerce is rescinding the
administrative review only with respect
to Jinqiao Flooring.9
Preliminary Determination of No
Shipments

subject merchandise during the POR.10
For additional information regarding
this determination, see the Preliminary
Decision Memorandum. Consistent with
our practice in non-market economy
(NME) cases, we are not rescinding this
administrative review with respect to
these companies but, rather, intend to
complete the review and issue
appropriate instructions to CBP based
on the final results of the review.11
Separate Rates
We preliminarily determine that, in
addition to Jinlong and Guyu, 54
companies not individually examined
are eligible for separate rates in this
administrative review.12 We also
preliminarily determine that Muchsee
Wood is eligible for a separate rate in
this new shipper review.
The statute and Commerce’s
regulations do not address the
establishment of a separate rate to be
applied to companies not selected for
individual examination when
Commerce limits its examination in an
administrative review pursuant to
section 777A(c)(2) of the Tariff Act of
1930, as amended (the Act). Generally,
Commerce looks to section 735(c)(5) of
the Act, which provides instructions for
calculating the all-others rate in an
investigation, for guidance when
calculating the rate for separate-rate
respondents which Commerce did not
examine individually in an
administrative review. For the
preliminary results of this
administrative review, Commerce has
determined the estimated dumping
margins for Jinlong and Guyu to be
zero.13 Because this is the only
calculated POR margin available and in
light of Albemarle Corp. v. United
States, we are assigning this rate to all
eligible non-selected respondents who
qualify for a separate rate in this
administrative review.14

The China-Wide Entity
Commerce’s policy regarding
conditional review of the China-wide
entity applies to this administrative
review.15 Under this policy, the Chinawide entity will not be under review
unless a party specifically requests, or
Commerce self-initiates, a review of the
entity. Because no party requested a
review of the China-wide entity, the
entity is not under review, and the
entity’s rate is not subject to change.
Aside from the companies we
preliminarily find made no shipments
and the company for which the review
is being rescinded, Commerce considers
all other companies for which a review
was requested and which did not
demonstrate separate rate eligibility to
be part of the China-wide entity.16 For
the preliminary results of this review,
we consider 18 companies to be part of
the China-wide entity. For additional
information, see the Preliminary
Decision Memorandum.
Methodology
We are conducting these reviews in
accordance with sections 751(a)(1)(B)
and 751(a)(2)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.213 and 351.214. We calculated
export prices for Jinlong, Guyu, and
Muchsee Wood in accordance with
section 772(a) of the Act. Because China
is an NME within the meaning of
section 771(18) of the Act, we calculated
NV in accordance with section 773(c) of
the Act.
For a full description of the
methodology underlying our
conclusions, see the Preliminary
Decision Memorandum. 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

this notice.
For any individually examined
respondent whose (estimated) ad
valorem weighted-average dumping
margin is not zero or de minimis (i.e.,
less than 0.50 percent) in the final
results of this review, Commerce will
calculate importer-specific assessment
rates on the basis of the ratio of the total
amount of dumping calculated for the
importer’s examined sales and the total
quantity of those sales, in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).19 Commerce
will also calculate (estimated) ad
valorem importer-specific assessment
rates with which to assess whether the
per-unit assessment rate is de minimis.
We will instruct CBP to assess
antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries covered by this review when the
importer-specific ad valorem
assessment rate calculated in the final
results of this review is not zero or de
minimis. If the individually examined
respondents’ ad valorem weightedaverage dumping margins continue to be
zero or de minimis in the final results,
or an importer-specific ad valorem
assessment rate is zero or de minimis,20
we will instruct CBP to liquidate the
appropriate entries without regard to
antidumping duties.
For the respondents that were not
selected for individual examination in
this administrative review that qualified
for a separate rate, the assessment rate
will be the separate rate established in
the final results of this administrative
review. If, in the final results, this rate
continues to be zero or de minimis (i.e.,
less than 0.5 percent), Commerce will
instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate
entries without regard to antidumping
duties.
For entries that were not reported in
the U.S. sales databases submitted by
the individually examined respondent,
and for the 18 companies that did not
qualify for a separate rate in the
administrative review, Commerce will
instruct CBP to liquidate such entries at
the China-wide rate (i.e., 85.13
percent).21 In addition, if we continue to
find in the final results no shipments of

Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit
requirements will be effective upon
publication of the final results of these
reviews for all shipments of the subject
merchandise from China entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after the publication
date, as provided for by section
751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For the
companies listed above that have a
separate rate, the cash deposit rate will
be the established in the final results; (2)
for previously investigated or reviewed
Chinese and non-Chinese exporters for
which a review was not requested and
that received a separate rate in a prior
segment of this proceeding, the cash
deposit rate will continue to be the
existing exporter-specific rate; (3) for all
Chinese exporters of subject
merchandise that have not been found
to be entitled to a separate rate, the cash
deposit rate will be the rate for the
China-wide entity (i.e., 85.13 percent);
and (4) for all non-China exporters of
subject merchandise that have not
received their own rate, the cash deposit
rate will be the rate applicable to
Chinese exporter that supplied that nonChinese exporter. These cash deposit
requirements, when imposed, shall
remain in effect until further notice.
Notification to Importers
This notice also serves as a
preliminary reminder to importers of
their responsibility under 19 CFR
351.402(f) to file a certificate regarding
the reimbursement of antidumping and/
or countervailing duties prior to
liquidation of the relevant entries
during this review period. Failure to
comply with this requirement could
result in Commerce’s presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping and/or
countervailing duties occurred and the
subsequent assessment of double
antidumping duties.

I. Abstract
The National Marine Fisheries Service
(NMFS) is requesting extension of a
currently approved information
collection for the Crab Rationalization
Program (CR Program). The information
being collected is necessary for NMFS to
manage the CR Program.
NMFS manages the king and Tanner
crab fisheries in the exclusive economic
zone of the Bering Sea and Aleutian
Islands under the Fishery Management
Plan for Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands
King and Tanner Crabs (FMP). The
North Pacific Fishery Management
Council prepared the FMP under the
Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act as
amended in 2006. Regulations
implementing the FMP and the CR
Program appear at 50 CFR part 680.
Information on the CR Program is
posted on the NMFS Alaska Region
website at: https://
www.fisheries.noaa.gov/alaska/
sustainable-fisheries/bering-sea-andaleutian-islands-bsai-crabrationalization-program.
NMFS established the CR Program as
a catch share program for nine crab
fisheries in the BSAI and assigned quota
share (QS) to persons and processor
quota share (PQS) to processors based
on their historic participation in one or
more of these nine crab fisheries during
a qualifying period. Under the CR
Program, share allocations to harvesters
and processors and incentives to
participate in fishery cooperatives
increase efficiencies, provide economic
stability, and facilitate compensated
reduction of excess capacities in the
harvesting and processing sectors.
Community interests are protected by
Western Alaska Community
Development Quota (CDQ) allocations,
regional landing and processing
requirements, and other measures.
CR Program components include QS
allocation, PQS allocation, individual
fishing quota (IFQ) issuance, individual
processing quota (IPQ) issuance, quota
transfers, use caps, crab harvesting
cooperatives, protections for Gulf of
Alaska groundfish fisheries, QS/PQS
matching, an arbitration system,
monitoring, economic data collection,
and cost recovery fee collection.
This information collection contains
the forms used by participants in the CR
Program to apply for or renew permits;
transfer or lease IFQ, IPQ, QS, or PQS;
and apply for exemption from regional
delivery requirements. This information
collection also contains the following
reports for which no collection forms
are used:

• The North or South Region Delivery
Exemption Report is submitted by IFQ
holders who signed a preseason
application. This report provides NMFS
with the means to assess how the
industry is exercising the exemption
opportunity and whether implementing
regulations are sufficient to meet the
Council’s Statement of Intent for
Amendment 41 to the FMP.
• The Community Impact Report or
IPQ Holder Report is submitted by a
community entity or IPQ holder,
respectively, and provides
documentation needed by NMFS to
evaluate the efficacy of privately
administered contracts.
• The CDQ Group Notification of
Community Representative is submitted
by the CDQ groups representing Saint
Paul and Saint George to designate to
NMFS a single entity as the regional
representative for these two
communities.
• The Eligible Crab Community
Organization (ECCO) Annual Report is
submitted by the ECCO. It details the
use of the crab QS and IFQ and is
intended to ensure that the ECCO
maintains the QS and IFQ to benefit
residents of eligible communities.
II. Method of Collection
Information is collected primarily via
mail, fax, or email. The following may
be submitted online through eFISH on
the NMFS Alaska Region website: The
Application for Transfer (Lease) of Crab
IPQ, the Application for Transfer of IFQ
between Crab Harvesting Cooperatives,
and renewals of registered crab receiver
permits and Federal crab vessel permits.

Rescission of Review, in Part; 2017-2018
AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (Commerce) preliminarily determines
that certain companies covered by the administrative review and new
shipper reviews did not make sales of subject merchandise at prices
below normal value (NV). We invite interested parties to comment on
these preliminary results.
DATES: Applicable February 6, 2020.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Sergio Balbontin or Alexis Cherry, AD/
CVD Operations, Office VIII, Enforcement and Compliance, International
Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Commerce is conducting an administrative review and an aligned new
shipper review (NSR) of the antidumping duty order on multilayered wood
flooring (MLWF) from the People's Republic of China (China). The period
of review (POR) for both reviews is December 1, 2017 through November
30, 2018. The administrative review covers 99 companies, including two
mandatory respondents: The Fusong Jinlong Group \1\ (Jinlong) and
Jiangsu Guyu International Trade Co., Ltd. (Guyu). The new shipper
review covers Muchsee Wood (Chuzhou) Co., Ltd. (Muchsee Wood). We
preliminarily determine that sales of subject merchandise by Jinlong
and Guyu have not been made at prices below NV.\2\ We also
preliminarily determine that a single sale of subject merchandise by
Muchsee Wood has not been made at prices below NV.\3\ In addition, we
are preliminarily granting separate rates to Jinlong, Guyu, Muchsee
Wood and 54 producers/exporters, and determine that 21 producer/
exporters made no shipments of subject merchandise during the POR.
Finally, we are rescinding the review with respect to
[[Page 6912]]
Jilin Forest Industry Jinqiao Flooring Group Co., Ltd. (Jinqiao
Flooring).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ Commerce has previously indicated that Dalian Qianqiu Wooden
Product Co., Ltd. (Dalian Qianqiu), Fusong Jinlong Wooden Group Co.,
Ltd. (Fusong Jinlong), Fusong Jinqiu Wooden Product Co., Ltd.
(Fusong Jinqiu), and Fusong Qianqiu Wooden Product Co., Ltd. (Fusong
Qianqiu) are collectively known as the ``Fusong Jinlong Group.'' See

China: Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review;

status of these companies in a preliminary affiliation and
collapsing analysis memorandum based on information on the record of
this administrative review. See Memorandum, ``Decision Memorandum

The product covered by the Order is MLWF from China. For a complete
description of the scope of this administrative review, see the
Preliminary Decision Memorandum.
Partial Rescission of Review
Commerce initiated a review of 99 companies in this administrative
review \5\ and one company in this new shipper review.\6\ Shenzhenshi
Huanwei Woods Co., Ltd. (Huanwei Woods) and Jinqiao Flooring submitted
timely requests to withdraw from the administrative review.\7\ No other
parties requested a review of Jinqiao Flooring; however, the American
Manufacturers of Multilayered Wood Flooring (the petitioners) requested
a review of Huanwei Woods.\8\ Accordingly, Commerce is rescinding the
administrative review only with respect to Jinqiao Flooring.\9\

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Preliminary Determination of No Shipments
Based on an analysis of information from U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP), no shipment certifications, and other record
information, we preliminarily determine that 21 companies had no
shipments of subject merchandise during the POR.\10\ For additional
information regarding this determination, see the Preliminary Decision
Memorandum. Consistent with our practice in non-market economy (NME)
cases, we are not rescinding this administrative review with respect to
these companies but, rather, intend to complete the review and issue
appropriate instructions to CBP based on the final results of the
review.\11\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\10\ See Appendix II for a list of these companies.
\11\ See Non-Market Economy Antidumping Proceedings: Assessment
of Antidumping Duties, 76 FR 65694, 65694-95 (October 24, 2011) (NME
AD Assessment) and the ``Assessment Rates'' section, below.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Separate Rates
We preliminarily determine that, in addition to Jinlong and Guyu,
54 companies not individually examined are eligible for separate rates
in this administrative review.\12\ We also preliminarily determine that
Muchsee Wood is eligible for a separate rate in this new shipper
review.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\12\ See Preliminary Decision Memorandum at 11-15, for more
details.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The statute and Commerce's regulations do not address the
establishment of a separate rate to be applied to companies not
selected for individual examination when Commerce limits its
examination in an administrative review pursuant to section 777A(c)(2)
of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). Generally, Commerce
looks to section 735(c)(5) of the Act, which provides instructions for
calculating the all-others rate in an investigation, for guidance when
calculating the rate for separate-rate respondents which Commerce did
not examine individually in an administrative review. For the
preliminary results of this administrative review, Commerce has
determined the estimated dumping margins for Jinlong and Guyu to be
zero.\13\ Because this is the only calculated POR margin available and
in light of Albemarle Corp. v. United States, we are assigning this
rate to all eligible non-selected respondents who qualify for a
separate rate in this administrative review.\14\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\13\ See Memoranda, ``Preliminary Results Margin Calculation for
the Fusong Jinlong Group'' and ``Preliminary Results Margin
Calculation for Jiangsu Guyu International Trading Co., Ltd.,'' both
dated concurrently with this notice; see also Preliminary Decision
Memorandum.
\14\ See Albemarle Corp. v. United States, 821 F.3d 1345 (Fed.
Cir. 2016); see also Preliminary Decision Memorandum at the
``Weighted-Average Dumping Margin for Non-Examined Separate-Rate
Companies in the Administrative Review'' section, for more details.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The China-Wide Entity
Commerce's policy regarding conditional review of the China-wide
entity applies to this administrative review.\15\ Under this policy,
the China-wide entity will not be under review unless a party
specifically requests, or Commerce self-initiates, a review of the
entity. Because no party requested a review of the China-wide entity,
the entity is not under review, and the entity's rate is not subject to
change.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\15\ See Antidumping Proceedings: Announcement of Change in
Department Practice for Respondent Selection in Antidumping Duty
Proceedings and Conditional Review of the Nonmarket Economy Entity
in NME Antidumping Duty Proceedings, 78 FR 65963 (November 4, 2013).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Aside from the companies we preliminarily find made no shipments
and the company for which the review is being rescinded, Commerce
considers all other companies for which a review was requested and
which did not demonstrate separate rate eligibility to be part of the
China-wide entity.\16\ For the preliminary results of this review, we
consider 18 companies to be part of the China-wide entity. For
additional information, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\16\ See Initiation Notices (``All firms listed below that wish
to qualify for separate rate status in the administrative reviews
involving NME countries must complete, as appropriate, either a
separate rate application or certification, as described below.'')
Companies that are subject to this administrative review that are
considered to be part of the China-wide entity are listed in
Appendix II.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Methodology
We are conducting these reviews in accordance with sections
751(a)(1)(B) and 751(a)(2)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213 and
351.214. We calculated export prices for Jinlong, Guyu, and Muchsee
Wood in accordance with section 772(a) of the Act. Because China is an
NME within the meaning of section 771(18) of the Act, we calculated NV
in accordance with section 773(c) of the Act.
For a full description of the methodology underlying our
conclusions, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. 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 in the Central Records

of the argument; and (3) a table of authorities.
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), interested parties who wish to
request a hearing, limited to issues raised in the case and rebuttal
briefs, must submit a written request to the Assistant Secretary for
Enforcement and Compliance, U.S. Department of Commerce, within 30 days
after the date of publication of this notice. Requests should contain
the party's name, address, and telephone number, the number of
participants, whether any participant is a foreign national, and a list
of the issues to be discussed. If a request for a hearing is made, we
intend to hold the hearing at the U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401
Constitution Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20230, at a time and date to be
determined. Parties should confirm by telephone the date, time, and
location of the hearing two days before the scheduled date.
Unless otherwise extended, we intend to issue the final results of
these reviews, which will include the results of our analysis of the
issues raised in the case briefs, within 120 days of publication of
these preliminary results in the Federal Register, pursuant to section
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h).
Assessment Rates
Upon issuance of the final results, Commerce will determine, and
CBP shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries covered
by these reviews, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b). For the
companies for which the administrative review is rescinded, antidumping
duties shall be assessed at rates equal to the cash deposit of
estimated antidumping duties required at the time of entry, or
withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(c)(1)(i). We intend to issue appropriate assessment
instructions
[[Page 6914]]
with respect to the companies for which this administrative review is
rescinded to CBP 15 days after the publication of this notice.
For any individually examined respondent whose (estimated) ad
valorem weighted-average dumping margin is not zero or de minimis
(i.e., less than 0.50 percent) in the final results of this review,
Commerce will calculate importer-specific assessment rates on the basis
of the ratio of the total amount of dumping calculated for the
importer's examined sales and the total quantity of those sales, in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).\19\ Commerce will also calculate
(estimated) ad valorem importer-specific assessment rates with which to
assess whether the per-unit assessment rate is de minimis. We will
instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries
covered by this review when the importer-specific ad valorem assessment
rate calculated in the final results of this review is not zero or de
minimis. If the individually examined respondents' ad valorem weighted-
average dumping margins continue to be zero or de minimis in the final
results, or an importer-specific ad valorem assessment rate is zero or
de minimis,\20\ we will instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate
entries without regard to antidumping duties.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\19\ In these preliminary results, Commerce applied the
assessment rate calculation method adopted in Antidumping
Proceedings: Calculation of the Weighted-Average Dumping Margin and
Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping Proceedings: Final
Modification, 77 FR 8101 (February 14, 2012).
\20\ See 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
For the respondents that were not selected for individual
examination in this administrative review that qualified for a separate
rate, the assessment rate will be the separate rate established in the
final results of this administrative review. If, in the final results,
this rate continues to be zero or de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5
percent), Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate
entries without regard to antidumping duties.
For entries that were not reported in the U.S. sales databases
submitted by the individually examined respondent, and for the 18
companies that did not qualify for a separate rate in the
administrative review, Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate such
entries at the China-wide rate (i.e., 85.13 percent).\21\ In addition,
if we continue to find in the final results no shipments of subject
merchandise for the companies for which we preliminarily find no such
shipments during the POR,\22\ Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate
any suspended entries of subject merchandise from those companies at
the China-wide rate, with the exception of certain entries from Yingyi-
Nature and Changzhou Hawd that Commerce will identify in appropriate
instructions to CBP.\23\

Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon
publication of the final results of these reviews for all shipments of
the subject merchandise from China entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date, as
provided for by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For the companies
listed above that have a separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be
the established in the final results; (2) for previously investigated
or reviewed Chinese and non-Chinese exporters for which a review was
not requested and that received a separate rate in a prior segment of
this proceeding, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the existing
exporter-specific rate; (3) for all Chinese exporters of subject
merchandise that have not been found to be entitled to a separate rate,
the cash deposit rate will be the rate for the China-wide entity (i.e.,
85.13 percent); and (4) for all non-China exporters of subject
merchandise that have not received their own rate, the cash deposit
rate will be the rate applicable to Chinese exporter that supplied that
non-Chinese exporter. These cash deposit requirements, when imposed,
shall remain in effect until further notice.
Notification to Importers
This notice also serves as a preliminary reminder to importers of
their responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f) to file a certificate
regarding the reimbursement of antidumping and/or countervailing duties
prior to liquidation of the relevant entries during this review period.
Failure to comply with this requirement could result in Commerce's
presumption that reimbursement of antidumping and/or countervailing
duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of double antidumping
duties.
We are issuing and publishing the preliminary results of these
reviews in accordance with sections 751(a)(l), 751(a)(2)(B)(iv),
751(a)(3), and 777(i)(l) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.214 and
351.221(b)(4).
Dated: January 31, 2020.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
