We are adopting the Preliminary Results as the final results of this review. Consequently, there are no new calculations to disclose in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b) for these final results. Assessment Rates Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b), Commerce has determined, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries of subject merchandise in accordance with the final results of this review. No earlier than 35 days after the date of publication of this notice in the Federal Register, Commerce intends to instruct CBP to liquidate any entries of subject merchandise from VidaXL that entered the United States during the POR at the China-wide rate (i.e., 216.01 percent). If a timely summons is filed at the U.S. Court of International Trade, the assessment instructions will direct CBP not to liquidate relevant entries until the time for parties to file a request for a statutory injunction has expired (i.e., within 90 days of publication). ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1 Cash Deposit Requirements The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon publication of this notice in the Federal Register for all shipments of subject merchandise from China entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date of this notice, as provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) for any previously investigated or reviewed China or non-China exporter that has a separate rate, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the exporter’s existing cash deposit rate; (2) for all China exporters of subject merchandise that do 3 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). 4 See Amended Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review and New Shipper Reviews: Wooden Bedroom Furniture from the People’s Republic of China, 72 FR 46957, 46964 (August 22, 2007).

These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice. Notification to Importers This notice serves as a final reminder to importers of their responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation of the relevant entries during this POR. Failure to comply with this requirement could result in Commerce’s presumption that reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of double antidumping duties. Administrative Protective Order This notice also serves as the only reminder to parties subject to an administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely written notification of the return or destruction of APO materials or conversion to judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to comply with the regulations and terms of an APO is a violation subject to sanction. Notification to Interested Parties We are issuing and publishing the final results of this review in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(1) and 351.221(b)(5).

AGENCY: The U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) is conducting an administrative review of the antidumping duty (AD) order on certain softwood lumber products (softwood lumber) from Canada. The period of review (POR) is January 1, 2022, through December 31, 2022. Commerce preliminarily determines that the producers/exporters subject to this review made sales of subject merchandise at less than normal value. In addition, with respect to Smartlam LLC (Smartlam), we are preliminarily rescinding this administrative review because Smartlam did not have any reviewable entries of subject merchandise during the POR. We invite interested parties to comment on these preliminary results. SUMMARY: DATES: Applicable February 6, 2024. Jeff Pedersen (Canfor) and Maisha Cryor (West Fraser), AD/CVD Operations, Office IV, Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482–2769 and (202) 482–5831, respectively. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background On March 14, 2023, based on timely requests for administrative reviews, Commerce initiated an AD administrative review covering 309 companies and has not rescinded the review of any of these companies.1 Thus, the review covers 309 producers/ exporters of the subject merchandise, including mandatory respondents 1 See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews, 88 FR 15642 (March 14, 2023).

On August 30, 2023, we extended the preliminary results until January 31, 2024.4 Scope of the Order The product covered by this order is softwood lumber from Canada. For a full description of the scope, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.5 ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1 Preliminary Partial Rescission of Administrative Review Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), it is Commerce’s practice to rescind an administrative review of an AD order where it concludes that there were no reviewable entries of subject merchandise during the POR for an exporter or producer. Normally, upon completion of an administrative review, the suspended entries are liquidated at the AD assessment rate for the review period.6 Therefore, for an administrative review to be conducted, there must be a reviewable, suspended entry that Commerce can instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to liquidate at the calculated AD assessment rate for the review period.7 Based on our analysis of CBP data 8 and comments received from interested parties,9 we preliminarily determine that Smartlam had no reviewable shipments, sales, or entries of subject merchandise during the POR. Accordingly, absent evidence of a shipment on the record from Smartlam 2 As described in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum, we have treated Canfor Corporation, Canadian Forest Products Ltd., Canfor Wood Products Marketing Ltd.. Canfor Fox Creek Ltd., and Canfor Whitecourt Ltd. (collectively, Canfor) as a single entity.

The final results of this administrative review shall be the basis for the assessment of ADs on entries of merchandise under review and for future deposits of estimated duties, where applicable. We intend to issue liquidation instructions to CBP no earlier than 41 days after date of publication of the final results of this review in the Federal Register. If a timely summons is filed at the U.S. Court of International Trade, the assessment instructions will direct CBP not to liquidate relevant entries until the time for parties to file a request for statutory injunction has expired (i.e., within 90 days of publication). Cash Deposit Requirements The following cash deposit requirements for estimated ADs will be effective upon publication of the notice of final results of this review for all shipments of softwood lumber from Canada entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of publication as provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) the cash deposit rate for companies subject to this review will be equal to the dumping margin established in the final results of the review; (2) for merchandise exported by companies not covered in this review but covered in a prior segment of this proceeding, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the company-specific rate published for the most recent period; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this review, a prior review, or the less-than-fair-value (LTFV) investigation but the producer is, the cash deposit rate will be the rate established for the most recently completed segment for the producer of the merchandise; (4) the cash deposit rate for all other producers or exporters will continue to be the 6.04 percent, the all-others rate established in the LTFV investigation.19 These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice. 18 See Final Modification for Reviews, 77 FR at 8103; see also 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2). 19 See Certain Softwood Lumber Products from Canada: Antidumping Duty Order and Partial Amended Final Determination, 83 FR 350 (January 3, 2018).

Certain Softwood Lumber Products From Canada: Preliminary Results
of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review and Preliminary Partial
Rescission in the Administrative Review, 2022

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) is conducting an
administrative review of the antidumping duty (AD) order on certain
softwood lumber products (softwood lumber) from Canada. The period of
review (POR) is January 1, 2022, through December 31, 2022. Commerce
preliminarily determines that the producers/exporters subject to this
review made sales of subject merchandise at less than normal value. In
addition, with respect to Smartlam LLC (Smartlam), we are preliminarily
rescinding this administrative review because Smartlam did not have any
reviewable entries of subject merchandise during the POR. We invite
interested parties to comment on these preliminary results.

DATES: Applicable February 6, 2024.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jeff Pedersen (Canfor) and Maisha
Cryor (West Fraser), AD/CVD Operations, Office IV, Enforcement and
Compliance, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of
Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20230; telephone:
(202) 482-2769 and (202) 482-5831, respectively.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On March 14, 2023, based on timely requests for administrative
reviews, Commerce initiated an AD administrative review covering 309
companies and has not rescinded the review of any of these
companies.\1\ Thus, the review covers 309 producers/exporters of the
subject merchandise, including mandatory respondents

[[Page 8153]]

Canfor \2\ and West Fraser,\3\ and Smartlam, which we preliminary find
had no shipments during the POR and for which we are preliminarily
rescinding its review. On August 30, 2023, we extended the preliminary
results until January 31, 2024.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

\1\ See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Administrative Reviews, 88 FR 15642 (March 14, 2023).
\2\ As described in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum, we have
treated Canfor Corporation, Canadian Forest Products Ltd., Canfor
Wood Products Marketing Ltd.. Canfor Fox Creek Ltd., and Canfor
Whitecourt Ltd. (collectively, Canfor) as a single entity. See
Memorandum, ``Decision Memorandum for Preliminary Results of the
2022 Antidumping Duty Administrative Review of Certain Softwood
Lumber Products from Canada and Preliminary Determination of No
Shipments,'' dated concurrently with, and hereby adopted by, this
notice (Preliminary Decision Memorandum), at 5.
\3\ As described in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum, we have
treated West Fraser Mills Ltd., Blue Ridge Lumber Inc., Manning
Forest Products Ltd., and Sundre Forest Products Inc. (collectively,
West Fraser) as a single entity. See Preliminary Decision Memorandum
at 6.
\4\ See Memorandum, ``Extension of Deadline for Preliminary
Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review; 2022,'' dated
August 30, 2023. A list of all companies under review is included as
Appendix II to this notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Scope of the Order

The product covered by this order is softwood lumber from Canada.
For a full description of the scope, see the Preliminary Decision
Memorandum.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

\5\ See Preliminary Decision Memorandum at 2-4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Preliminary Partial Rescission of Administrative Review

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), it is Commerce's practice to
rescind an administrative review of an AD order where it concludes that
there were no reviewable entries of subject merchandise during the POR
for an exporter or producer. Normally, upon completion of an
administrative review, the suspended entries are liquidated at the AD
assessment rate for the review period.\6\ Therefore, for an
administrative review to be conducted, there must be a reviewable,
suspended entry that Commerce can instruct U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) to liquidate at the calculated AD assessment rate for
the review period.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

\6\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
\7\ See 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Based on our analysis of CBP data \8\ and comments received from
interested parties,\9\ we preliminarily determine that Smartlam had no
reviewable shipments, sales, or entries of subject merchandise during
the POR. Accordingly, absent evidence of a shipment on the record from
Smartlam during the POR, Commerce intends to rescind its review of
Smartlam, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

\8\ See Memorandum, ``Release of Customs and Border Protection
Data and Notification of Respondent Selection Methodology,'' dated
March 20, 2023.
\9\ See Smartlam's Letter, ``Customs Documentation,'' dated
February 2, 2023.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Methodology

Commerce is conducting this review in accordance with section
751(a)(1)(B) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). For a
full description of the methodology underlying our conclusions, see the
Preliminary Decision Memorandum. A list of the topics discussed in the
Preliminary Decision Memorandum is included as Appendix I to this
notice. The Preliminary Decision Memorandum is a public document and is
made available to the public 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://access.trade.gov/public/FRNoticesListLayout.aspx.

Preliminary Results of Review

We preliminarily determine that the following weighted-average
dumping margins exist for the period January 1, 2022, through December
31, 2022:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weighted-
average
Exporter/producer dumping
margin
(percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Canfor Corporation/Canadian Forest Products Ltd./Canfor Wood 9.65
Products Marketing Ltd./Canfor Fox Creek Ltd./Canfor
Whitecourt Ltd.............................................
West Fraser Mills Ltd./Blue Ridge Lumber Inc./Manning Forest 5.33
Products Ltd./and Sundre Forest Products Inc...............
Non-Selected Companies...................................... 7.15
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rate for Companies Not Individually Examined

Generally, when calculating margins for non-selected respondents,
Commerce looks to section 735(c)(5) of the Act for guidance, which
provides instructions for calculating the all-others rate in an
investigation. Section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act provides that when
calculating the all-others rate, Commerce will exclude any zero and de
minimis weighted-average dumping margins, as well as any weighted-
average dumping margins based on total facts available. Accordingly,
Commerce's usual practice has been to average the margins for selected
respondents, excluding margins that are zero, de minimis, or based
entirely on facts available.
In this review, we calculated a weighted-average dumping margin of
9.65 percent for Canfor and 5.33 percent for West Fraser. In accordance
with section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act, Commerce assigned the weighted-
average of these two calculated weighted-average dumping margins based
on their publicly ranged sales data, 7.15 percent, to the non-selected
companies in these preliminary results.\10\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

\10\ See Memorandum, ``Calculation of the Rate for Non-Selected
Respondents,'' dated concurrently with this notice, and Attachment
II (containing a list of the non-selected companies under review).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Disclosure

We intend to disclose the calculations performed for these
preliminary results to the interested parties within five days after
public announcement of the preliminary results in accordance with 19
CFR 351.224(b).

Public Comment

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.309(c), interested parties may submit case
briefs to the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance not
later than 30 days after the date of publication of this notice, unless
Commerce alters the time limit. Rebuttal briefs, limited to issues
raised in the case briefs, may be filed not later than five days after
the date for filing case briefs.\11\ Interested parties who submit case
or rebuttal briefs in this proceeding must submit: (1) a table of
contents listing each issue; and (2) a table of authorities.\12\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

\11\ See 19 CFR 351.309(d); see also Administrative Protective
Order, Service, and Other Procedures in Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Proceedings, 88 FR 67069, 67077 (September 29,
2023).
\12\ See 19 351.309(c)(2) and (d)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

As provided under 19 CFR 351.309(c)(2) and (d)(2), in prior
proceedings we have encouraged interested parties to provide an
executive summary of their brief that should be limited to five pages
total, including footnotes. In this administrative review, we instead
request that interested parties provide at the beginning of their
briefs a public, executive summary for each issue raised in their
briefs.\13\ Further, we request that interested parties limit their
executive summary of each issue to no more than 450 words, not
including citations. We intend to use the executive summaries as the
basis of the comment summaries included in the issues and decision

[[Page 8154]]

memorandum that will accompany the final results in this administrative
review. We request that interested parties include footnotes for
relevant citations in the executive summary of each issue. Note that
Commerce has amended certain of its requirements pertaining to the
service of documents in 19 CFR 351.303(f).\14\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

\13\ We use the term ``issue'' here to describe an argument that
Commerce would normally address in a comment of the Issues and
Decision Memorandum.
\14\ See Administrative Protective Order, Service, and Other
Procedures in Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Proceedings; Final
Rule, 88 FR 67069 (September 29, 2023).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), interested parties who wish to
request a hearing, must submit a written request to the Assistant
Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance, filed electronically via
ACCESS. An electronically filed document must be received successfully
in its entirety via ACCESS by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time within 30 days
after the date of publication of this notice.\15\ Requests should
contain: (1) the party's name, address, and telephone number; (2) the
number of participants; and (3) a list of issues to be discussed.
Issues raised in the hearing will be limited to those raised in the
respective case briefs. Commerce intends to issue the final results of
this administrative review, including the results of its analysis of
the issues raised in any written briefs, not later than 120 days after
the date of publication of these preliminary results in the Federal
Register, pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, unless extended.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

\15\ See 19 CFR 351.310(c).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Assessment Rate

Upon issuance of the final results, Commerce will determine, and
CBP shall assess, ADs on all appropriate entries covered by this
review.\16\ If a respondent's weighted-average dumping margin is above
de minimis in the final results of this review, we will calculate an
importer-specific assessment rate based on the ratio of the total
amount of dumping calculated for each importer's examined sales and the
total entered value of the sales in accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1).\17\ If a respondent's weighted-average dumping margin or
an importer-specific assessment rate is zero or de minimis in the final
results of review, we will instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate
entries without regard to ADs in accordance with the Final Modification
for Reviews.\18\ If, in the final results, we continue to find that the
administrative review for Smartlam should be rescinded, then we will
instruct CBP to liquidate any suspended entries that entered under its
AD case number (i.e., at that exporter's rate) at the all-others rate
if there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies) involved in the
transaction. The final results of this administrative review shall be
the basis for the assessment of ADs on entries of merchandise under
review and for future deposits of estimated duties, where applicable.
We intend to issue liquidation instructions to CBP no earlier than 41
days after date of publication of the final results of this review in
the Federal Register. If a timely summons is filed at the U.S. Court of
International Trade, the assessment instructions will direct CBP not to
liquidate relevant entries until the time for parties to file a request
for statutory injunction has expired (i.e., within 90 days of
publication).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

\16\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b).
\17\ 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 Duty Proceedings; Final
Modification, 77 FR 8101 (February 14, 2012) (Final Modification for
Reviews).
\18\ See Final Modification for Reviews, 77 FR at 8103; see also
19 CFR 351.106(c)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cash Deposit Requirements

The following cash deposit requirements for estimated ADs will be
effective upon publication of the notice of final results of this
review for all shipments of softwood lumber from Canada entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of
publication as provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) the
cash deposit rate for companies subject to this review will be equal to
the dumping margin established in the final results of the review; (2)
for merchandise exported by companies not covered in this review but
covered in a prior segment of this proceeding, the cash deposit rate
will continue to be the company-specific rate published for the most
recent period; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this
review, a prior review, or the less-than-fair-value (LTFV)
investigation but the producer is, the cash deposit rate will be the
rate established for the most recently completed segment for the
producer of the merchandise; (4) the cash deposit rate for all other
producers or exporters will continue to be the 6.04 percent, the all-
others rate established in the LTFV investigation.\19\ These cash
deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until
further notice.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Notification to Importers

This notice serves as a preliminary reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate
regarding the reimbursement of ADs and/or countervailing duties (CVDs)
prior to liquidation of the relevant entries during this period of
review. Failure to comply with this requirement could result in
Commerce's presumption that reimbursement of ADs and/or CVDs occurred
and the subsequent assessment of double ADs, and/or an increase in the
amount of ADs by the amount of the CVDs.

Notification to Interested Parties

Commerce is issuing and publishing these results in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(4).

Dated: January 31, 2024.
