Pursuant to section 805 of title VIII of
the Tariff Act of 1930 (the Softwood

Commerce is mandated to submit to the
appropriate Congressional committees a
report every 180 days on any subsidy
provided by countries exporting
softwood lumber or softwood lumber
products to the United States, including
stumpage subsidies. Commerce
submitted its last subsidy report to the
Congress on June 30, 2022.

Request for Comments
Given the large number of countries
that export softwood lumber and
softwood lumber products to the United
States, we are soliciting public comment
only on subsidies provided by countries
which had exports accounting for at
least one percent of total U.S. imports of
softwood lumber by quantity, as
classified under Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (HTSUS)
codes 4407.1100, 4407.1200, 4407.1300,
4407.1400, and 4407.1900, during the
period January 1, 2022, through June 30,

2022.1 Official U.S. import data,
published by the United States
International Trade Commission’s
DataWeb, indicate that six countries
(Austria, Brazil, Canada, Germany,
Romania, and Sweden) exported
softwood lumber to the United States
during that time period in amounts
sufficient to account for at least one
percent of U.S. imports of softwood
lumber products. We intend to rely on
similar six-month periods to identify the
countries subject to future reports on
softwood lumber subsidies. For
example, we will rely on U.S. imports
of softwood lumber and softwood
lumber products during the period July
1, 2022, through December 31, 2022, to
select the countries subject for the next
report.
Under U.S. trade law, a subsidy exists
where an authority: (i) provides a
financial contribution; (ii) provides any
form of income or price support within
the meaning of article XVI of the GATT
1994; or (iii) makes a payment to a
funding mechanism to provide a
financial contribution to a person, or
entrusts or directs a private entity to
make a financial contribution, if
providing the contribution would
normally be vested in the government
and the practice does not differ in
substance from practices normally
followed by governments, and a benefit
is thereby conferred.2
Parties should include in their
comments: (1) the country which
provided the subsidy; (2) the name of
the subsidy program; (3) a brief
description (no more than 3–4
sentences) of the subsidy program; and
(4) the government body or authority
that provided the subsidy.
Submission of Comments
As specified above, to be assured of
consideration, comments must be
received no later than 30 days after the
publication of this notice in the Federal
Register. All comments must be
submitted through the Federal
eRulemaking Portal at https://
www.regulations.gov, Docket No. ITA–
2022–0011. The materials in the docket
will not be edited to remove identifying
or contact information, and Commerce
cautions against including any
information in an electronic submission
that the submitter does not want
publicly disclosed. Attachments to
electronic comments will be accepted in
1 We previously queried HTSUS codes 4407.1001,
4407.1905, 4407.1906, 4407.1910. However, those
codes were deactivated and replaced by codes
included in the import data query for the period
January 1, 2022, through June 30, 2022.

as amended.
