SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) determines that producers and exporters of certain softwood lumber products (softwood lumber) from Canada received countervailable subsidies during the period of review (POR), January 1, 2022, through December 31, 2022.

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: Subsidy rate (percent ad valorem) Company ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1 Canfor Corporation and its cross-owned affiliates 7 ............................................................................................................................

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:

    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).
