SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
AGENCY:
Background
On February 6, 2024, Commerce
published the preliminary results of this
administrative review in the Federal
Register and invited interested parties
to comment.1 On April 25, 2024,
Commerce extended the deadline for
issuing the final results of this review
until August 2, 2024, which was tolled
by seven days until August 9, 2024.2 On
August 7, 2024, Commerce extended the
deadline for the final results of this
review until August 12, 2024.3
For a complete description of the
events that occurred since the
Preliminary Results, see the Issues and
Decision Memorandum.4 A list of topics
discussed in the Issues and Decision
Memorandum is included as Appendix
I to this notice. The Issues and 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 Issues and
Decision Memorandum can be accessed
directly at https://access.trade.gov/
public/FRNoticesListLayout.aspx.
Scope of the Order 5
The product covered by this Order is
certain softwood lumber products from
Canada. For a complete description of
the scope of the order, see the Issues
and Decision Memorandum.
Analysis of Subsidy Programs and
Comments Received
Commerce conducted this
administrative review in accordance
with section 751(a)(1)(A) of the Tariff
Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). For
each of the subsidy programs found to
be countervailable, we find that there is
a subsidy, i.e., a government-provided
financial contribution that gives rise to
a benefit to the recipient, and that the
subsidy is specific.6
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
The subsidy programs under review,
and the issues raised in case and
rebuttal briefs submitted by the
interested parties, are discussed in the
Issues and Decision Memorandum.
Based on our analysis of the comments
received from the interested parties, we
made changes to the subsidy rates
calculated for certain respondents. For a
discussion of these changes, see the
Issues and Decision Memorandum.
Rate for Non-Selected Companies
Under Review
Because the rates calculated for the
companies selected for individual
review are above de minimis and not
based entirely on facts available, we
applied a subsidy rate based on a
weighted average of the subsidy rates
calculated for the reviewed companies
using sales data submitted by those
companies to calculate a rate for the
companies not selected for review. This
is consistent with the methodology that
we would use in an investigation to
establish the all-others rate, pursuant to
section 705(c)(5)(A) of the Act.
For further information on the
calculation of the non-selected rate, see
the section titled ‘‘Final Ad Valorem
Rate for Non-Selected Companies under
Review’’ in the Issues and Decision
Memorandum. For a list of the nonselected companies, see Appendix II to
this notice.
Final Results of Review
In accordance with section
751(a)(1)(A) and of the Act and 19 CFR
351.221(b)(5), we determine that the
following total net countervailable
subsidy rates exist for the period
January 1, 2022, through December 31,
2022:

products from Canada. For a complete description of the scope of the

Analysis of Subsidy Programs and Comments Received
Commerce conducted this administrative review in accordance with
section 751(a)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).
For each of the subsidy programs found to be countervailable, we find
that there is a subsidy, i.e., a government-provided financial
contribution that gives rise to a benefit to the recipient, and that
the subsidy is specific.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ See sections 771(5)(B) and (D) of the Act regarding
financial contribution; section 771(5)(E) of the Act regarding
benefit; and section 771(5A) of the Act regarding specificity.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
The subsidy programs under review, and the issues raised in case
and rebuttal briefs submitted by the interested parties, are discussed
in the Issues and Decision Memorandum. Based on our analysis of the
comments received from the interested parties, we made changes to the
subsidy rates calculated for certain respondents. For a discussion of
these changes, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum.
Rate for Non-Selected Companies Under Review
Because the rates calculated for the companies selected for
individual review are above de minimis and not based entirely on facts
available, we applied a subsidy rate based on a weighted average of the
subsidy rates calculated for the reviewed companies using sales data
submitted by those companies to calculate a rate for the companies not
selected for review. This is consistent with the methodology that we
would use in an investigation to establish the all-others rate,
pursuant to section 705(c)(5)(A) of the Act.
For further information on the calculation of the non-selected
rate, see the section titled ``Final Ad Valorem Rate for Non-Selected
Companies under Review'' in the Issues and Decision Memorandum. For a
list of the non-selected companies, see Appendix II to this notice.
Final Results of Review
In accordance with section 751(a)(1)(A) and of the Act and 19 CFR
351.221(b)(5), we determine that the following total net
countervailable subsidy rates exist for the period January 1, 2022,
through December 31, 2022:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Subsidy rate

valorem)

Commerce intends to disclose the calculations performed for these
final results of review within five days of any public announcement or,
if there is no public announcement, within five days of the date of
publication of this notice in the Federal Register, in accordance with
19 CFR 351.224(b).
Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.212(b)(2), Commerce has determined, and U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) shall assess, countervailing duties on all appropriate
entries of subject merchandise covered by this review. Commerce intends
to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier than 41 days after
the date of publication of the final results of this review in the
Federal Register, in accordance with 19 CFR 356.8(a). 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 to instruct CBP to collect cash deposits of estimated
countervailing duties in the amounts shown for the companies subject to
this review for shipments of subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn
from warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of publication of
the final results of this administrative review. For all non-reviewed
companies, we will instruct CBP to continue to collect cash deposits of
estimated countervailing duties at the most recent company-specific or
all-others rate applicable to the company, as appropriate. These cash
deposits, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice.
Administrative Protective Order (APO)
This notice also serves as a final reminder to parties subject to
an 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 the terms of an
APO is a sanctionable violation.
Notification to Interested Parties
Commerce is issuing and publishing these final results of
administrative review in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and
777(i)(1) of the Act and 351.221(b)(5).
