SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (the Department) completed its administrative review of the countervailing duty (CVD) order on multilayered wood flooring (wood flooring) from the People's Republic of China (PRC). The period of review (POR) is January 1, 2013, through December 31, 2013. We find that the mandatory respondents, Dalian Penghong Floor Products Co., Ltd. (Penghong) and The Lizhong Wood Industry Limited Company of Shanghai (Lizhong) (also known as ``Shanghai Lizhong Wood Products Co., Ltd.''), received countervailable subsidies during the POR. The final net subsidy rates are listed below in ``Final Results of Administrative Review.'' We are also rescinding the review for five companies that timely certified that they made no shipments of subject merchandise during the POR. DATES: Effective May 23, 2016.

Background On January 11, 2016, the Department published the Preliminary Results of this administrative review.\1\ In the Preliminary Results, we stated our intent to rescind the review for the seven companies that certified that they made no shipments of subject merchandise during the POR, provided we did not receive information from Customs and Border Protection (CBP) which contradicted these companies' claims of no sales, shipments, or entries of subject merchandise to the United States during the POR. On February 22, 2016, CBP notified the Department that Linyi Bonn Flooring Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (Linyi Bonn), and Changbai Mountain Development and Protection Zone Hongtu Wood Industrial Co., Ltd. (Changbai Mountain) made shipments to the United States.

A full description of the scope of the order is contained in the memorandum from Christian Marsh, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Operations, to Paul Piquado, Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance, ``Decision Memorandum for Final Results of Countervailing Duty Administrative Review: Multilayered Wood Flooring from the People's Republic of China'' dated concurrently with this notice (Decision Memorandum), which is hereby adopted by this notice. Analysis of Comments Received All issues raised in the parties' briefs are addressed in the Decision Memorandum. A list of the issues raised is attached to this notice at Appendix I. The 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 and in the Central Records Unit, Room B8024 of the main Department building. In addition, a complete version of the Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly on the Internet at https://enforcement.trade.gov/frn. The signed Decision Memorandum and the [[Page 32292]] electronic versions of the Decision Memorandum are identical in content. Partial Rescission of Administrative Review We received timely filed no-shipment certifications from Zhejiang Shuimojiangnan New Material Technology Co., Ltd., Tongxiang Jisheng Import and Export Co., Ltd., Jiangsu Guyu International Trading Co., Ltd., Jiangsu Mingle Flooring Co., Ltd., Shenyang Senwang Wooden Industry Co., Ltd., Changbai Mountain, and Linyi Bonn.\6\ We received from CBP evidence that Changbai Mountain and Linyi Bonn made shipments to the United States during the POR. Both companies subsequently withdrew their certifications of no shipments, and remain subject to this administrative review. The Department is rescinding the administrative review of Zhejiang Shuimojiangnan New Material Technology Co., Ltd., Tongxiang Jisheng Import and Export Co., Ltd., Jiangsu Guyu International Trading Co., Ltd., Jiangsu Mingle Flooring Co., Ltd., and Shenyang Senwang Wooden Industry Co., Ltd. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \6\ See letter from Zhejiang Shuimojiangnan New Material Technology Co., Ltd., ``Multilayered Wood Flooring from the People's Republic of China-No Sales Certification,'' dated April 3, 2015; see also letter from Tongxiang Jisheng Import and Export Co., Ltd., Jiangsu Guyu International Trading Co, Ltd., Jiangsu Mingle Flooring CO., Ltd., Shenyang Senwang Wooden Industry Co., Ltd., Changbai Mountain Development and Protection Zone Hongtu Wood Industrial Co., Ltd., and Linyi Bonn Flooring Manufacturing Co., Ltd., ``Multilayered Wood Flooring from the People's Republic of China: Submission of No Shipment Certifications,'' dated April 6, 2015. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Methodology We conducted this 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.\7\ For a full description of the methodology underlying our conclusions, see Decision Memorandum. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \7\ 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. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Final Results of Administrative Review In accordance with 19 CFR 351.221(b)(4)(i), we calculated a countervailable subsidy rate for each of the mandatory respondents, Penghong and Lizhong. For the non-selected respondents, we followed the Department's practice, which is to base the subsidy rates on an average of the subsidy rates calculated for those companies selected for individual review, excluding de minimis rates or rates based entirely on adverse facts available.\8\ In this case, we assigned to the non-selected respondents the simple average of the rates calculated for Penghong and Lizhong. We are using a simple, rather than a weighted, average due to inconsistent units of measure in the publicly ranged quantity and value data provided by Penghong and Lizhong. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \8\ See, e.g., Certain Pasta from Italy: Preliminary Results of the 13th (2008) Countervailing Duty Administrative Review, 75 FR 18806, 18811 (April 13, 2010), unchanged in Certain Pasta from Italy: Final Results of the 13th (2008) Countervailing Duty Administrative Review, 75 FR 37386 (June 29, 2010). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- We find the countervailable subsidy rates for the producers/ exporters under review to be as follows: \9\ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \9\ The Department published a Correction of Notice of Initiation, 80 FR 11166 (March 2, 2015) and removed Zhejiang Layo Wood Industry Co. Ltd.(``Layo Wood'') because this company was excluded from the countervailing duty order in the investigation. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Net subsidy rate Producer/exporter (percent) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dalian Penghong Floor Products Co., Ltd.
