SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of
Commerce (Commerce) preliminarily
determines that countervailable
subsidies are being provided to
producers and/or exporters of certain
hardwood plywood products (hardwood
plywood) from the People’s Republic of
China (China) during the period of
review (POR) September 26, 2021,
through December 31, 2022. Commerce
also preliminarily finds that 18
companies had no subject shipments of
hardwood plywood and that these
companies will be eligible to participate
in the certification program previously
established with respect to the
countervailing duty (CVD) order on
certain hardwood plywood products
from China. Finally, we are also

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On January 4, 2018, Commerce
published in the Federal Register the
CVD order on hardwood plywood from
China.1 On January 3, 2023, Commerce
published in the Federal Register a
notice of opportunity to request an
administrative review of the Order
covering entries of hardwood plywood
from China from January 1, 2022,
through December 31, 2022.2 On March
14, 2023, based on timely requests for
an administrative review, Commerce
initiated the administrative review with
respect to 32 companies.3
On July 20, 2023, we published in the
Federal Register the Circumvention
Final Determination, in which we: (1)
determined that certain hardwood
plywood exported from Socialist
Republic of Vietnam (Vietnam) and
entered into the United States was
circumventing the Order and therefore
is now covered by the Order; and (2)
established a certification program to

the People’s Republic of China: Countervailing Duty
Order, 83 FR 513 (January 4, 2018) (Order).
2 See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order,
Finding, or Suspended Investigation; Opportunity
to Request Administrative Review and Join Annual
Inquiry Service List, 88 FR 45 (January 3, 2023).
3 We note that Commerce listed 40 company
names in the initiation notice. See Initiation of
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Administrative Reviews, 88 FR 15642 (March 14,
2023) (Initiation Notice); see also Initiation of
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Administrative Reviews, 88 FR 21609 (April 11,
2023) (containing a correction to add an additional
company name). However, in the Circumvention
Final Determination, we found that a number of
companies were duplicated via minor name
variations. See Certain Hardwood Plywood Products
from the People’s Republic of China: Final Scope
Determination and Affirmative Final Determination
of Circumvention of the Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Orders, 88 FR 46740 (July 20,

allow eligible producers and exporters
of hardwood plywood exported from
Vietnam to certify that entries of
hardwood plywood exported from
Vietnam are not subject to the Order.4
We also indicated that we would: (1)
expand the POR for this administrative
review to begin on September 26, 2021,
in order to capture the first entry
suspended as a result of the
circumvention determination; and (2)
allow interested parties to request
reviews of unliquidated/suspended
entries of merchandise from Vietnam
that entered from September 26, 2021,
through December 31, 2021.5
On August 11, 2023, Commerce
notified parties that we received no
additional requests for administrative
reviews as a result of Commerce’s
decision to expand the POR,6 and on
August 28, 2023, Commerce released
entry data from U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (CBP) to interested
parties for comment.7 Subsequently, we
notified parties of our intent to rescind
this administrative review with respect
to certain companies subject to this
review.8
On January 31, 2024, Commerce
deferred the deadline for completing the
preliminary results of this review until
July 30, 2024.9 On July 22, 2024,
Commerce tolled certain deadlines in
this administrative proceeding by seven
days.10 The deadline for the preliminary
results is now August 6, 2024. For
details regarding the events that
occurred subsequent to the initiation of
the review, see the Preliminary Decision
Memorandum.
Scope of the Order
The merchandise covered by the
scope of this Order is hardwood
plywood from China. A complete
description of the scope of the Order is
contained in the Preliminary Decision

subject merchandise during the POR
subject to the CVD order for which
liquidation is suspended, Commerce
may rescind an administrative review,
in whole or only with respect to a
particular exporter or producer.11 At the
end of the administrative review, any
suspended entries are liquidated at the
assessment rate computed for the review
period.12 Therefore, for an
administrative review to be conducted,
there must be a reviewable, suspended
entry to be liquidated at the newly
calculated assessment rate. On July 3,
2024, Commerce notified all interested
parties of its intent to rescind this
review with respect to certain
companies because those companies
had no reviewable, suspended entries of
subject merchandise and invited parties
to comment.13 We received no
comments on our intent to rescind the
review with respect to these companies.
Accordingly, in the absence of
suspended entries of subject
merchandise during the POR for three
companies 14 for which this review was
initiated, we are hereby rescinding this
administrative review, in part, with
respect to these companies, in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3).
In addition, pursuant to 19 CFR
351.213(d)(1), Commerce will rescind
an administrative review, in whole or in
part, if the party that requested a review
withdraws the request within 90 days of
the date of publication of the notice of
initiation. All parties timely withdrew
their review requests for: (1) Fulin
Wood Import Export Company Limited;
(2) Greatwood Joint Stock Company; (3)
Greentech Investment Co., Ltd.; (4) Long
Dat Import and Export Production
Company; (5) Star Light Multimedia Co.,
Ltd.; and (6) VietBac Plywood LLC.
Because the review requests were timely
withdrawn, and no other party
requested a review of these companies,
we are rescinding the review with
respect to these six companies (see
Appendix II for a list of all companies
for which Commerce is rescinding this
review).

Methodology
Commerce is conducting this review
in accordance with section 751(a)(1)(A)
of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended
(the Act) and 19 CFR 351.213. For a full
description of the methodology
underlying these preliminary results,
see the Preliminary Decision
Memorandum. See Appendix III for a
complete list of topics discussed in the
Preliminary Decision Memorandum.
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 is available at
https://access.trade.gov/public/
FRNoticesListLayout.aspx.
Preliminary Determination of No
Shipments
In this administrative review, we
issued questionnaires to all companies
under review to gather information on
the quantity and value (Q&V) of their
shipments of hardwood plywood to the
United States.15 We received responses
to these questionnaires from 21
companies, all of which reported that
their suspended entries consisted
exclusively of non-subject merchandise.
We issued additional questionnaires to
these companies and received complete
responses from only 15 of them. We
have analyzed the information in these
responses and preliminarily find that
these 15 companies have provided
information to support their claims that
the hardwood plywood they exported to
the United States was not assembled
using any of the Chinese hardwood
plywood input scenarios subject to this
Order.16 We are also preliminarily
accepting the claims of three additional
companies from which Commerce is
awaiting additional information,
pending the receipt of the requested
information.17
15 See Commerce’s Letter, ‘‘Quantity and Value
Questionnaire,’’ dated November 20, 2023; see also
Memorandum, ‘‘Clarification of Companies
Required to Submit Responses to Q&V
Questionnaire,’’ dated November 28, 2023; and
Commerce’s Letters, ‘‘Request for Entry
Information,’’ dated February 5, 2024 (collectively,
Q&V Questionnaire).
16 See Circumvention Final Determination, 88 FR
at 46742.
17 The responses to the questionnaires issued to
the following companies are currently due on or
after the date of these preliminary results: An An
Plywood Joint Stock Company, Greatwood Hung
Yen Joint Stock Company, and Thang Long Wood
Panel Company (Thang Long).

We also preliminarily find it
appropriate to permit the 15 companies
referenced above, as well as Thang
Long, to participate in the certification
program at the conclusion of this
administrative review. The other two
companies are currently eligible to
participate in this certification program,
and we preliminarily find no basis to
alter their status.18
Use of Adverse Facts Available
Groll Ply and Cabinetry Co., Ltd.
(Groll Ply), Hoang Lam Plywood Joint
Stock Co. (Hoang Lam), Plywood
Sunshine Co., Ltd. (Plywood Sunshine),
Quang Phat Wood Joint Stock Company
(Quang Phat), and Quoc Thai Forestry
Import Export Limited Company (Quoc
Thai) had entries of plywood during the
POR that they claimed were of nonsubject merchandise. We required these
companies to provide information
related to these entries, but they did not
respond to these requests for
information, and therefore, we are
preliminary finding that Groll Ply,
Hoang Lam, Plywood Sunshine, Quang
Phat, and Quoc Thai failed to support
their claims that their entries of
plywood during the POR were not of
subject merchandise.
Pursuant to sections 776(a) and (b) of
the Act, Commerce has assigned Groll
Ply, Hoang Lam, Plywood Sunshine,
Quang Phat, and Quoc Thai a subsidy
rate of 100.11 percent based on facts
available with adverse inferences (AFA).
These five companies ceased
participating in this review and did not
provide information requested by
Commerce; accordingly, we find that
necessary information is not available
on the record, they failed to provide the
requested information in the form and
manner requested, and significantly
impeded the proceeding, pursuant to
section 776(a) of the Act. Additionally,
we find that Groll Ply, Hoang Lam,
Plywood Sunshine, Quang Phat, and
Quoc Thai had necessary information in
their possession and elected not to
submit the information and, thus, that
the five companies did not act to the
best of their abilities in responding to
Commerce’s information request by the
applicable deadline, pursuant to section
776(b) of the Act. For additional
information regarding this
determination, see the Preliminary
Decision Memorandum.
Commerce preliminary determines
that the following net countervailable
subsidy rates exist for the period of

companies subject to this review that are
preliminarily eligible to certify their entries of
hardwood plywood exported from Vietnam.

Disclosure
Normally, Commerce discloses to

five days of any public announcement
or, if there is no public announcement,
within five days of the date of
publication of the notice of preliminary
results in the Federal Register, in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).
However, because Commerce is
applying AFA to the above companies,
there are no additional calculations to

Certification Eligibility
Due to their failure to provide
necessary information for determining
certification eligibility, we preliminarily
determine that Groll Ply, Hoang Lam,
Plywood Sunshine, Quang Phat, and
Quoc Thai remain barred from
participating in the certification
program in this proceeding.
Verification
From July 1, through July 10, 2024,
we conducted verification of the
questionnaire responses of five
exporters/producers under review,
Arrow Forest International Co., Ltd., Hai

Company, Lechenwood Viet Nam
Company Limited, Long Luu Plywood

this review are encouraged to submit
with each argument: (1) a statement of
the issue; (2) a brief summary of the
argument; and (3) a table of authorities.
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 briefs that
should be limited to five pages total,
including footnotes. In this 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.20 Further, we
request that interested parties limit their
public executive summary of each issue
to no more than 450 words, not
including citations. We intend to use
the public executive summaries as the
basis of the comment summaries
included in the issues and decision
memorandum that will accompany the
final determination in this investigation.
We request that interested parties
include footnotes for relevant citations
in the public 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).21
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

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, Commerce
intends to hold the hearing 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.
Assessment Rates

duties on all appropriate entries covered
by this review. For all entries of
merchandise exported by the companies
listed in Appendix I, we intend to
instruct CBP to liquidate the entries
without regard to countervailing duties
if these preliminary results are
unchanged for the final results. For
entries of merchandise exported by
Groll Ply, Hoang Lam, Plywood
Sunshine, Quang Phat, and Quoc Thai,
we will instruct CBP to liquidate their
entries at the assigned rate of 100.11
percent. Commerce intends to issue
assessment instructions to CBP no
earlier than 35 days after the 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 a
statutory injunction has expired (i.e.,
within 90 days of publication).
For the companies (see Appendix II)
for which this review is rescinded with
these preliminary results, we will
instruct CBP to assess countervailing
duties on all appropriate entries at a rate
equal to the cash deposit of estimated
countervailing duties required at the
time of entry, or withdrawal from
warehouse, for consumption, during the
period September 26, 2021, through
December 31, 2022, in accordance with
19 CFR 351.212(c)(l)(i).
Commerce intends to issue
assessment instructions to CBP for these
companies no earlier than 35 days after
the date of publication of the
preliminary 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 a statutory injunction has
expired (i.e., within 90 days of
publication).
Cash Deposit Requirements
In accordance with section
751(a)(2)(C) of the Act, Commerce
intends upon publication of the final
results, to instruct CBP to collect cash
deposits of the estimated countervailing
duties in the amounts calculated in the
final results of this review for the
respective companies listed above with
regard to shipments of subject
merchandise entered, or withdrawn
from warehouse, for consumption on or
after the date of publication of the final
results of this review.
For all non-reviewed firms, CBP will

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of
Commerce (Commerce) preliminarily
finds that certain hardwood plywood
products (hardwood plywood) from the
People’s Republic of China (China) were
sold in the United States at below
normal value (NV) during the period of
review (POR) September 26, 2021,
through December 31, 2022. Commerce
also preliminarily finds that 19
companies had no subject shipments of
hardwood plywood and that these
companies will be eligible to participate
in the certification program previously
established with respect to the
antidumping duty order on certain
hardwood plywood products from
China. Further, Commerce preliminarily
determines that three companies subject
to this review are part of the China-wide
entity because they had shipments of

We invite interested parties to comment
on these preliminary results.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On January 4, 2018, Commerce
published in the Federal Register the
antidumping duty order on hardwood
plywood from China.1 On January 3,
2023, Commerce published in the
Federal Register a notice of opportunity
to request an administrative review of
the Order covering entries of hardwood
plywood from China from January 1,
2022, through December 31, 2022.2 On
March 14, 2023, based on timely
requests for an administrative review,
Commerce initiated the administrative
review with respect to 98 companies.3
On July 20, 2023, we published in the
Federal Register the Circumvention
Final Determination, in which we: (1)
determined that certain hardwood
plywood exported from the Socialist
Republic of Vietnam (Vietnam) and
entered into the United States was
circumventing the Order and therefore
is now covered by the Order; and (2)
established a certification program to
allow eligible producers and exporters
of hardwood plywood exported from
Vietnam to certify that entries of
hardwood plywood exported from
Vietnam are not subject to the Order.4

found that several of these companies were the
same entity, while a number of other companies
were duplicated via minor name variations. For

China: Preliminary Results of Countervailing Duty Administrative
Review, Preliminary Determination of No Shipments, and Partial
Rescission; 2021-2022
AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration,

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) preliminarily
determines that countervailable subsidies are being provided to
producers and/or exporters of certain hardwood plywood products
(hardwood plywood) from the People's Republic of China (China) during
the period of review (POR) September 26, 2021, through December 31,
2022. Commerce also preliminarily finds that 18 companies had no
subject shipments of hardwood plywood and that these companies will be
eligible to participate in the certification program previously
established with respect to the countervailing duty (CVD) order on
certain hardwood plywood products from China. Finally, we are also
rescinding this review with respect to nine companies. We invite
interested parties to comment on these preliminary results.
DATES: Applicable August 15, 2024.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On January 4, 2018, Commerce published in the Federal Register the
CVD order on hardwood plywood from China.\1\ On January 3, 2023,
Commerce published in the Federal Register a notice of opportunity to
request an administrative review of the Order covering entries of
hardwood plywood from China from January 1, 2022, through December 31,
2022.\2\ On March 14, 2023, based on timely requests for an
administrative review, Commerce initiated the administrative review
with respect to 32 companies.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ See Certain Hardwood Plywood Products from the People's
Republic of China: Countervailing Duty Order, 83 FR 513 (January 4,
2018) (Order).
\2\ See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or
Suspended Investigation; Opportunity to Request Administrative
Review and Join Annual Inquiry Service List, 88 FR 45 (January 3,
2023).
\3\ We note that Commerce listed 40 company names in the
initiation notice. See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing
Duty Administrative Reviews, 88 FR 15642 (March 14, 2023)
(Initiation Notice); see also Initiation of Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews, 88 FR 21609 (April 11,
2023) (containing a correction to add an additional company name).
However, in the Circumvention Final Determination, we found that a
number of companies were duplicated via minor name variations. See
Certain Hardwood Plywood Products from the People's Republic of
China: Final Scope Determination and Affirmative Final Determination
of Circumvention of the Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Orders,
88 FR 46740 (July 20, 2023) (Circumvention Final Determination), and
accompanying Issues and Decision Memorandum (IDM) at 76; and
Memorandum, ``Notice of Intent to Rescind Review, In Part,'' dated
July 3, 2024 (Intent to Rescind Memorandum). For further discussion,
see Memorandum, ``Decision Memorandum for the Preliminary Results of
the Countervailing Duty Administrative Review of Certain Hardwood
Plywood Products from the People's Republic of China; 2021-2022,''
dated concurrently with this notice (Preliminary Decision
Memorandum).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On July 20, 2023, we published in the Federal Register the
Circumvention Final Determination, in which we: (1) determined that
certain hardwood plywood exported from Socialist Republic of Vietnam
(Vietnam) and entered into the United States was circumventing the
Order and therefore is now covered by the Order; and (2) established a
certification program to allow eligible producers and exporters of
hardwood plywood exported from Vietnam to certify that entries of
hardwood plywood exported from Vietnam are not subject to the Order.\4\
We also indicated that we would: (1) expand the POR for this
administrative review to begin on September 26, 2021, in order to
capture the first entry suspended as a result of the circumvention
determination; and (2) allow interested parties to request reviews of
unliquidated/suspended entries of merchandise from Vietnam that entered
from September 26, 2021, through December 31, 2021.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ See Circumvention Final Determination.
\5\ See Circumvention Final Determination IDM at Comment 13.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On August 11, 2023, Commerce notified parties that we received no
additional requests for administrative reviews as a result of
Commerce's decision to expand the POR,\6\ and on August 28, 2023,
Commerce released entry data from U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(CBP) to interested parties for comment.\7\ Subsequently, we notified
parties of our intent to rescind this administrative review with
respect to certain companies subject to this review.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ See Memorandum ``Companies Under Review for the Expanded
POR,'' dated August 11, 2023.
\7\ See Memorandum, ``CBP Data Release,'' dated August 28, 2023.
\8\ See Intent to Rescind Memorandum at Attachment I.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On January 31, 2024, Commerce deferred the deadline for completing
the preliminary results of this review until July 30, 2024.\9\ On July
22, 2024, Commerce tolled certain deadlines in this administrative
proceeding by seven days.\10\ The deadline for the preliminary results
is now August 6, 2024. For details regarding the events that occurred
subsequent to the initiation of the review, see the Preliminary
Decision Memorandum.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\9\ See Memorandum, ``Deferral of the Preliminary Results of
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews; 2022,''
dated January 31, 2024.
\10\ See Memorandum, ``Tolling of Deadlines for Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Proceedings,'' dated July 22, 2024.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scope of the Order
The merchandise covered by the scope of this Order is hardwood
plywood from China. A complete description of the scope of the Order is
contained in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.
Rescission of Administrative Review, in Part
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), when there are no reviewable
entries of
[[Page 66344]]
subject merchandise during the POR subject to the CVD order for which
liquidation is suspended, Commerce may rescind an administrative
review, in whole or only with respect to a particular exporter or
producer.\11\ At the end of the administrative review, any suspended
entries are liquidated at the assessment rate computed for the review
period.\12\ Therefore, for an administrative review to be conducted,
there must be a reviewable, suspended entry to be liquidated at the
newly calculated assessment rate. On July 3, 2024, Commerce notified
all interested parties of its intent to rescind this review with
respect to certain companies because those companies had no reviewable,
suspended entries of subject merchandise and invited parties to
comment.\13\ We received no comments on our intent to rescind the
review with respect to these companies. Accordingly, in the absence of
suspended entries of subject merchandise during the POR for three
companies \14\ for which this review was initiated, we are hereby
rescinding this administrative review, in part, with respect to these
companies, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\11\ See, e.g., Lightweight Thermal Paper from the People's
Republic of China: Notice of Rescission of Countervailing Duty
Administrative Review; 2015, 82 FR 14349 (March 20, 2017); see also
Circular Welded Carbon Quality Steel Pipe from the People's Republic
of China: Rescission of Countervailing Duty Administrative Review;
2017, 84 FR 14650 (April 11, 2019).
\12\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(2).
\13\ See Intent to Rescind Memorandum.
\14\ The companies are: (1) BAC Son Woods Processing Joint Stock
Company; (2) Huong Son Wood Group Co., Ltd.; and (3) Long Phat
Construction Investment and Trade Joint Stock Company.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In addition, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), Commerce will
rescind an administrative review, in whole or in part, if the party
that requested a review withdraws the request within 90 days of the
date of publication of the notice of initiation. All parties timely
withdrew their review requests for: (1) Fulin Wood Import Export
Company Limited; (2) Greatwood Joint Stock Company; (3) Greentech
Investment Co., Ltd.; (4) Long Dat Import and Export Production
Company; (5) Star Light Multimedia Co., Ltd.; and (6) VietBac Plywood
LLC. Because the review requests were timely withdrawn, and no other
party requested a review of these companies, we are rescinding the
review with respect to these six companies (see Appendix II for a list
of all companies for which Commerce is rescinding this review).
Methodology
Commerce is conducting this review in accordance with section
751(a)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act) and 19 CFR
351.213. For a full description of the methodology underlying these
preliminary results, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. See
Appendix III for a complete list of topics discussed in the Preliminary
Decision Memorandum. 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 is available at https://access.trade.gov/public/FRNoticesListLayout.aspx.
Preliminary Determination of No Shipments
In this administrative review, we issued questionnaires to all
companies under review to gather information on the quantity and value
(Q&V) of their shipments of hardwood plywood to the United States.\15\
We received responses to these questionnaires from 21 companies, all of
which reported that their suspended entries consisted exclusively of
non-subject merchandise. We issued additional questionnaires to these
companies and received complete responses from only 15 of them. We have
analyzed the information in these responses and preliminarily find that
these 15 companies have provided information to support their claims
that the hardwood plywood they exported to the United States was not
assembled using any of the Chinese hardwood plywood input scenarios
subject to this Order.\16\ We are also preliminarily accepting the
claims of three additional companies from which Commerce is awaiting
additional information, pending the receipt of the requested
information.\17\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\15\ See Commerce's Letter, ``Quantity and Value
Questionnaire,'' dated November 20, 2023; see also Memorandum,
``Clarification of Companies Required to Submit Responses to Q&V
Questionnaire,'' dated November 28, 2023; and Commerce's Letters,
``Request for Entry Information,'' dated February 5, 2024
(collectively, Q&V Questionnaire).
\16\ See Circumvention Final Determination, 88 FR at 46742.
\17\ The responses to the questionnaires issued to the following
companies are currently due on or after the date of these
preliminary results: An An Plywood Joint Stock Company, Greatwood
Hung Yen Joint Stock Company, and Thang Long Wood Panel Company
(Thang Long).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
We also preliminarily find it appropriate to permit the 15
companies referenced above, as well as Thang Long, to participate in
the certification program at the conclusion of this administrative
review. The other two companies are currently eligible to participate
in this certification program, and we preliminarily find no basis to
alter their status.\18\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\18\ See Appendix I for a complete list of companies subject to
this review that are preliminarily eligible to certify their entries
of hardwood plywood exported from Vietnam.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Use of Adverse Facts Available
Groll Ply and Cabinetry Co., Ltd. (Groll Ply), Hoang Lam Plywood
Joint Stock Co. (Hoang Lam), Plywood Sunshine Co., Ltd. (Plywood
Sunshine), Quang Phat Wood Joint Stock Company (Quang Phat), and Quoc
Thai Forestry Import Export Limited Company (Quoc Thai) had entries of
plywood during the POR that they claimed were of non-subject
merchandise. We required these companies to provide information related
to these entries, but they did not respond to these requests for
information, and therefore, we are preliminary finding that Groll Ply,
Hoang Lam, Plywood Sunshine, Quang Phat, and Quoc Thai failed to
support their claims that their entries of plywood during the POR were
not of subject merchandise.
Pursuant to sections 776(a) and (b) of the Act, Commerce has
assigned Groll Ply, Hoang Lam, Plywood Sunshine, Quang Phat, and Quoc
Thai a subsidy rate of 100.11 percent based on facts available with
adverse inferences (AFA). These five companies ceased participating in
this review and did not provide information requested by Commerce;
accordingly, we find that necessary information is not available on the
record, they failed to provide the requested information in the form
and manner requested, and significantly impeded the proceeding,
pursuant to section 776(a) of the Act. Additionally, we find that Groll
Ply, Hoang Lam, Plywood Sunshine, Quang Phat, and Quoc Thai had
necessary information in their possession and elected not to submit the
information and, thus, that the five companies did not act to the best
of their abilities in responding to Commerce's information request by
the applicable deadline, pursuant to section 776(b) of the Act. For
additional information regarding this determination, see the
Preliminary Decision Memorandum.
Commerce preliminary determines that the following net
countervailable subsidy rates exist for the period of
[[Page 66345]]
September 26, 2021, through December 31, 2022:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Subsidy rate
Company (percent ad
valorem)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Groll Ply and Cabinetry Co., Ltd........................ * 100.11
Plywood Sunshine Co., Ltd............................... * 100.11
Quoc Thai Forestry Import Export Limited Company........ * 100.11
Hoang Lam Plywood Joint Stock Co........................ * 100.11
Quang Phat Wood Joint Stock Company..................... * 100.11
------------------------------------------------------------------------
* This rate is based on AFA.
Disclosure
Normally, Commerce discloses to interested parties the calculations
performed in preliminary results within five days of any public
announcement or, if there is no public announcement, within five days
of the date of publication of the notice of preliminary results in the
Federal Register, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). However,
because Commerce is applying AFA to the above companies, there are no
additional calculations to disclose.
Certification Eligibility
Due to their failure to provide necessary information for
determining certification eligibility, we preliminarily determine that
Groll Ply, Hoang Lam, Plywood Sunshine, Quang Phat, and Quoc Thai
remain barred from participating in the certification program in this
proceeding.
Verification
From July 1, through July 10, 2024, we conducted verification of
the questionnaire responses of five exporters/producers under review,
Arrow Forest International Co., Ltd., Hai Hien Bamboo Wood Joint Stock
Company, Lechenwood Viet Nam Company Limited, Long Luu Plywood
Production Co., Ltd., and TL Trung Viet Company Limited. We intend to
verify the information submitted by the remaining exporters listed in
Appendix I after the preliminary results.
Public Comment
In accordance with 19 CFR 351.309(c), case briefs or other written
comments may be submitted to the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement
and Compliance no later than seven days after the date on which the
last verification report is issued. Rebuttal briefs, limited to issues
raised in case briefs, may be submitted no later than five days after
the deadline for case briefs.\19\ Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.309(c)(2) and
(d)(2), parties who submit case briefs or rebuttal briefs in this
review are encouraged to submit with each argument: (1) a statement of
the issue; (2) a brief summary of the argument; and (3) a table of
authorities.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\19\ See 19 CFR 351.309; see also 19 CFR 351.303 (for general
filing requirements).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 briefs that should be limited to five pages
total, including footnotes. In this 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.\20\ Further,
we request that interested parties limit their public executive summary
of each issue to no more than 450 words, not including citations. We
intend to use the public executive summaries as the basis of the
comment summaries included in the issues and decision memorandum that
will accompany the final determination in this investigation. We
request that interested parties include footnotes for relevant
citations in the public 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).\21\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\20\ We use the term ``issue'' here to describe an argument that
Commerce would normally address in a comment of the Issues and
Decision Memorandum.
\21\ See Administrative Protective Order, Service, and Other
Procedures in Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Proceedings, 88 FR
67069, 67077 (September 29, 2023).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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,
Commerce intends to hold the hearing 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.
Assessment Rates
Upon issuance of the final results of this review, Commerce shall
determine, and CBP shall assess, countervailing duties on all
appropriate entries covered by this review. For all entries of
merchandise exported by the companies listed in Appendix I, we intend
to instruct CBP to liquidate the entries without regard to
countervailing duties if these preliminary results are unchanged for
the final results. For entries of merchandise exported by Groll Ply,
Hoang Lam, Plywood Sunshine, Quang Phat, and Quoc Thai, we will
instruct CBP to liquidate their entries at the assigned rate of 100.11
percent. Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no
earlier than 35 days after the 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 a statutory injunction has expired (i.e., within
90 days of publication).
For the companies (see Appendix II) for which this review is
rescinded with these preliminary results, we will instruct CBP to
assess countervailing duties on all appropriate entries at a rate equal
to the cash deposit of estimated countervailing duties required at the
time of entry, or withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption, during
the period September 26, 2021, through December 31, 2022, in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.212(c)(l)(i).
Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP for these
companies no earlier than 35 days after the date of publication of the
preliminary 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 a statutory
injunction has expired (i.e., within 90 days of publication).
Cash Deposit Requirements
In accordance with section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act, Commerce
intends upon publication of the final results, to instruct CBP to
collect cash deposits of the estimated countervailing duties in the
amounts calculated in the final results of this review for the
respective companies listed above with regard to shipments of subject
merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or
after the date of publication of the final results of this review.
For all non-reviewed firms, CBP will continue to collect cash
deposits of estimated countervailing duties at the all-others rate or
the most recent
[[Page 66346]]
company-specific rate applicable to the company, as appropriate. These
cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until
further notice.
Final Results of Review
Unless otherwise extended, Commerce intends to issue the final
results of this administrative review, which will include the results
of its analysis of issues raised in any briefs, within 120 days of
publication of these preliminary results of review, pursuant to section
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.
Notification to Interested Parties
These preliminary results of administrative review are issued and
published in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(l) of the
Act, and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(4).
