SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: AGENCY: Background Commerce is conducting an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on multilayered wood flooring (MLWF) from the People’s Republic of China (China).1 1 See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews, 85 FR 6896 (February 6, 2020) (Initiation Notice). VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:01 Apr 23, 2021 Jkt 253001 The POR is December 1, 2018, through November 30, 2019. The review covers 95 companies, including mandatory respondents, Jinlong 2 and Jiangsu Senmao Bamboo and Wood Industry Co., Ltd. (Senmao). We preliminarily determine that sales of subject merchandise by Senmao have not been made at prices below NV and that Jinlong is not eligible for a separate rate. In addition, we are preliminarily granting separate rates to Senmao and 34 producers/exporters, and determine that 20 producers/exporters made no shipments of subject merchandise during the POR. Finally, we are rescinding the review with respect to four producers/exporters. For events that occurred since the Initiation Notice and analysis behind our preliminary results herein, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.3 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. In addition, a complete version of the Preliminary Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly at https://enforcement.trade.gov/ frn/. A list of topics discussed in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum is included as Appendix I to this notice. 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. 2 Jinlong consists of the following companies: Dalian Qianqiu Wooden Product Co., Ltd.; Fusong Jinlong Wooden Group Co., Ltd.; Fusong Jinqiu Wooden Product Co., Ltd.; and Fusong Qianqiu Wooden Product Co., Ltd. See Multilayered Wood Flooring from the People’s Republic of China: Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review and New Shipper Review and Final Determination of No Shipments; 2017–2018, 85 FR 78118 (December 3, 2020). 3 See Memorandum, ‘‘Decision Memorandum for the Preliminary Results in the Antidumping Duty Administrative Review: Multilayered Wood Flooring from the People’s Republic of China; 2018–2019,’’ dated concurrently with, and hereby adopted by, this notice (Preliminary Decision Memorandum). 4 See Multilayered Wood Flooring from the People’s Republic of China: Notice of Amended Final Affirmative Determination of Sales at Less than Fair Value and Antidumping Duty Order, 76 FR 76690 (December 8, 2011), as amended in Multilayered Wood Flooring from the People’s Republic of China, 77 FR 5484 (February 3, 2012) (collectively, Order). PO 00000 Frm 00007 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Partial Rescission of Review Commerce initiated a review of 95 companies in this review.5 On May 6, 2020, AHF, LLC (AHF) timely withdrew its request for review with respect to 90 companies.6 Of these companies, no other parties requested a review of Dalian Deerfu Wooden Product Co., Ltd. (Deerfu); Dunhua City Wanrong Wood Industry Co., Ltd. (Wanrong); Jilin Forest Industry Jinqiao Flooring Group Co., Ltd. (Jilin Forest); and Lauzon Distinctive Hardwood Flooring, Inc. (Lauzon). However, other parties, including the American Manufacturers of Multilayered Wood Flooring (the petitioner), requested a review with respect to the remaining companies named in AHF’s review request.7 Accordingly, Commerce is rescinding the administrative review only with respect to Deerfu, Wanrong, Jilin Forest, and Lauzon.8 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 20 companies had no shipments of subject merchandise during the POR.9 Consistent with our practice in nonmarket economy (NME) cases, we are not rescinding this 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.10 Separate Rates We preliminarily determine that, in addition to Senmao, 34 companies not individually-examined are eligible for separate rates in this administrative review.11 The Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act) and Commerce’s regulations do not address the 5 See Initiation Notice.
