ACTION: Notice and request for comments. AGENCY: This notice advises the public that the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is seeking comments for the proposed revision of Voluntary Product Standard (PS) 20–20, ‘‘American Softwood Lumber Standard.’’ This standard, prepared by the American Lumber Standard Committee, serves the procurement and regulatory needs of numerous Federal, State, and local government agencies by providing for uniform, industry-wide grade-marking and inspection requirements for softwood lumber. The implementation of the standard also allows for uniform labeling and auditing of treated wood and, through a Memorandum of Understanding with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, labeling and auditing of wood packaging materials for international trade. As part of a five-year review process, NIST is seeking public comment and invites interested parties to review the revised standard and submit comments. DATES: Written comments regarding the proposed revision, PS 20–25, should be submitted to the Standards Coordination Office, NIST, no later than April 22, 2024.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under Department of Commerce regulations codified in title 15, Code of Federal Regulations, part 10, Procedures for the Development of Voluntary Product Standards, and administered by NIST, the American Lumber Standard Committee acts as the Standing Committee for PS 20–20, American Softwood Lumber Standard, responsible for maintaining, revising, and interpreting the standard. The Committee is comprised of producers, distributors, users, and others with an interest in the standard. Voluntary Product Standard (PS) 20– 20 establishes standard sizes and requirements for developing and coordinating the lumber grades of the various species of lumber, the assignment of design values, and the preparation of grading rules applicable to each species. Its provisions include implementation of the standard through an accreditation and certification program; establishment of principal trade classifications and lumber sizes for yard, structural, and factory/shop use; classification, measurement, grading, and grade-marking of lumber; definitions of terms and procedures to provide a basis for the use of uniform methods in the grading inspection, measurement, and description of softwood lumber; commercial names of the principal softwood species; definitions of terms used in describing standard grades of lumber; and commonly used industry abbreviations. The standard also includes the organization and functions of the American Lumber Standard Committee, the Board of Review, and the National Grading Rule Committee. All public comments will be reviewed and considered. All comments, including attachments will be accepted in Microsoft word, or Adobe PDF formats. Comments containing references, studies, research, and other empirical data that are not widely published should include copies or electronic links of the referenced materials.

exists for the period February 10, 2021, through July 31, 2022:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                            Weighted-

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

Disclosure

    Because Commerce made no changes to the Preliminary Results, we 
have not modified our preliminary weighted-average dumping margin 
calculation. We are adopting the Preliminary Results as the final 
results of this review. Consequently, there are no 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)(1), 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 these final results 
of review.\6\ We will calculate importer-specific ad valorem assessment 
rates for the merchandise by dividing the total amount of antidumping 
duties calculated for all reviewed sales to the importer by the total 
entered value of the merchandise sold to the importer, in accordance 
with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). Where an importer-specific ad valorem 
assessment rate is not zero or de minimis, Commerce will instruct CBP 
to collect the appropriate duties at the time of liquidation. Where an 
importer-specific ad valorem assessment rate is zero or de minimis, we 
will instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries without regard 
to antidumping duties.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ See Antidumping Proceeding: Calculation of the Weighted-
Average Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping 
Duty Proceedings; Final Modification, 77 FR 8101 (February 14, 
2012).
    \7\ Id., 77 FR 8101, 8102; see also 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In accordance with Commerce's ``automatic assessment'' practice, we 
will instruct CBP to liquidate POR entries of subject merchandise which 
Interpipe produced and sold but did not know was destined for the 
United States, at the all-others rate (i.e., 23.75 percent) \8\ if 
there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies) involved in the 
transaction.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ See Order, 86 FR 47055.
    \9\ See Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Proceedings: 
Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier 
than 35 days after the date of publication of this notice 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 a statutory injunction has expired (i.e., within 90 days of 
publication).

Cash Deposit Requirements

    The following cash deposit requirements will be effective for all 
shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from 
warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date of this 
notice in the Federal Register, as provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of 
the Act: (1) the cash deposit rate for Interpipe will be equal to the 
weighted-average dumping margin listed in the table above; (2) for 
companies that were previously reviewed or investigated in this 
proceeding that are not listed in the table above, the cash deposit 
rate will continue to be the rate assigned to the company in the most 
recently

[[Page 15975]]

completed segment of this proceeding in which the company was examined; 
(3) if the exporter of the subject merchandise does not have a company-
specific rate but the producer of the subject merchandise does, then 
the cash deposit rate will be the rate assigned to the producer of the 
subject merchandise in the most recently completed segment of this 
proceeding in which the producer was examined; and (4) the cash deposit 
rate for all other producers or exporters will continue to be the all-
others rate of 23.75 percent that was established in the less-than-
fair-value investigation in this proceeding.\10\ These cash deposit 
requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further 
notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ See Order, 84 FR at 47057.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 review period. 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 serves as the only reminder to parties subject to an 
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under 
APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), which continues to govern 
business proprietary information in this segment of the proceeding. 
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 the terms of an 
APO is a sanctionable violation.

Notification to Interested Parties

    We are issuing and publishing these final results of review in 
accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act, and 19 CFR 
351.221(b)(5).
