SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    In accordance with section 705(d) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 
amended (Act), on November 16, 2017, Commerce published its affirmative 
final determination that countervailable subsidies are being provided 
to producers and exporters of hardwood plywood from China.\1\ On 
December 20, 2017, the ITC notified Commerce of its affirmative 
determination that an industry in the United States is materially 
injured within the meaning

[[Page 514]]

of section 705(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Act, by reason of subsidized imports 
of subject merchandise from China.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See Countervailing Duty Investigation of Certain Hardwood 
Plywood Products from the People's Republic of China: Final 
Affirmative Determination, and Final Affirmative Critical 
Circumstances Determination, in Part, 82 FR 53473 (November 16, 
2017).
    \2\ See Letter to Gary Taverman, Acting Assistant Secretary of 
Commerce for Enforcement and Compliance, from Rhonda K. Schmidtlein, 
Chairman of the U.S. International Trade Commission, regarding 
certain hardwood plywood products from the People's Republic of 
China (December 20, 2017) (ITC Letter).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Scope of the Order

    The scope of this order covers hardwood plywood from China. For a 
complete description of the scope, see the Appendix to this notice.

Countervailing Duty Order

    On December 20, 2017, in accordance with sections 705(b)(1)(A)(i) 
and 705(d) of the Act, the ITC notified Commerce of its final 
determination in this investigation, in which it found that an industry 
in the United States is materially injured by reason of imports of 
hardwood plywood from China.\3\ Therefore, in accordance with section 
705(c)(2) of the Act, Commerce is issuing this countervailing duty 
order. Because the ITC determined that imports of hardwood plywood from 
China are materially injuring a U.S. industry, unliquidated entries of 
such merchandise from China, entered or withdrawn from warehouse for 
consumption, are subject to the assessment of countervailing duties.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See ITC Letter.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Therefore, in accordance with section 706(a) of the Act, Commerce 
will direct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to assess, upon 
further instruction by Commerce, countervailing duties for all relevant 
entries of hardwood plywood from China. Countervailing duties will be 
assessed on unliquidated entries of hardwood plywood from China 
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after April 
25, 2017, the date of publication of the Preliminary Determination,\4\ 
but will not include entries occurring after the expiration of the 
provisional measures period and before publication of the ITC's final 
injury determination as further described below.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Republic of China: Preliminary Affirmative Countervailing Duty 
Determination, Preliminary Affirmative Critical Circumstances 
Determination, in Part, and Alignment of Final Determination With 
Final Antidumping Duty Determination, 82 FR 19022 (April 25, 2017).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Suspension of Liquidation

    In accordance with section 706 of the Act, Commerce will instruct 
CBP to reinstitute the suspension of liquidation of hardwood plywood 
from China. We will also instruct CBP to require, pursuant to section 
706(a)(1) of the Act, countervailing duties for each entry of the 
subject merchandise in an amount based on the net countervailable 
subsidy rates for the subject merchandise. These instructions 
suspending liquidation will remain in effect until further notice. The 
all-others rate applies to all producers and exporters of subject 
merchandise.

Provisional Measures

    Section 703(d) of the Act states that instructions issued pursuant 
to an affirmative preliminary determination may not remain in effect 
for more than four months. In the underlying investigation, Commerce 
published the Preliminary Determination on April 25, 2017. As such, the 
four-month period beginning on the date of the publication of the 
Preliminary Determination ended on August 23, 2017. Furthermore, 
section 707(b) of the Act states that definitive duties are to begin on 
the date of publication of the ITC's final injury determination.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ As discussed in the Preliminary Determination, Commerce 
found that Shandong Dongfang Bayley Wood Co., Ltd. (Bayley Wood) is 
cross-owned with Linyi Yinhe Panel Factory (Yinhe Panel), a producer 
of subject merchandise. Commerce is also applying Bayley Wood's rate 
to Yinhe Panel.
    \6\ This company and those listed below are receiving the AFA 
rate because they did not respond to our quantity and value 
questionnaire.
    \7\ This company was listed as having the following two ``aka'' 
names: Shouguang Evergreen Co., Ltd. and Weifang Evergreen Wood Co., 
Ltd.
    \8\ This company was listed as having the following ``aka'' 
name: Suqian Sulu Import and Export Trading.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Therefore, in accordance with section 703(d) of the Act and our 
practice, we instructed CBP to terminate the suspension of liquidation 
and to liquidate, without regard to countervailing duties, unliquidated 
entries of hardwood plywood from China entered, or withdrawn from 
warehouse, for consumption, on or after August 23, 2017, the date the 
provisional measures expired, until and through the day preceding the 
date of publication of the ITC's final injury determination in the 
Federal Register. Suspension of liquidation will resume on the date of 
publication of the ITC's final determination in the Federal Register.

Appendix

Scope of the Investigation

    The merchandise subject to this investigation is hardwood and 
decorative plywood, and certain veneered panels as described below. 
For purposes of this proceeding, hardwood and decorative plywood is 
defined as a generally flat, multilayered plywood or other veneered 
panel, consisting of two or more layers or plies of wood veneers and 
a core, with the face and/or back veneer made of non-coniferous wood 
(hardwood) or bamboo. The veneers, along with the core may be glued 
or otherwise bonded together. Hardwood and decorative plywood may 
include products that meet the American National Standard for 
Hardwood and Decorative Plywood, ANSI/HPVA HP-1-2016 (including any 
revisions to that standard).
    For purposes of this investigation a ``veneer'' is a slice of 
wood regardless of thickness which is cut, sliced or sawed from a 
log, bolt, or flitch. The face and back veneers are the outermost 
veneer of wood on either side of the core irrespective of additional 
surface coatings or covers as described below.
    The core of hardwood and decorative plywood consists of the 
layer or layers of one or more material(s) that are situated between 
the face and back veneers. The core may be composed of a range of 
materials, including but not limited to hardwood, softwood, 
particleboard, or medium-density fiberboard (MDF).
    All hardwood plywood is included within the scope of this 
investigation regardless of whether or not the face and/or back 
veneers are surface coated or covered and whether or not such 
surface coating(s) or covers obscures the grain, textures, or 
markings of the wood. Examples of surface coatings and covers 
include, but are not limited to: Ultra violet light cured 
polyurethanes; oil or oil-modified or water based polyurethanes; 
wax; epoxy-ester finishes; moisture-cured urethanes; paints; stains; 
paper; aluminum; high pressure laminate; MDF; medium density overlay 
(MDO); and phenolic film. Additionally, the face veneer of hardwood 
plywood may be sanded; smoothed or given a ``distressed'' appearance 
through such methods as hand-scraping or wire brushing. All hardwood 
plywood is included within the scope even if it is trimmed; cut-to-
size; notched; punched; drilled; or has underwent other forms of 
minor processing.
    All hardwood and decorative plywood is included within the scope 
of this investigation, without regard to dimension (overall 
thickness, thickness of face veneer, thickness of back veneer, 
thickness of core, thickness of inner veneers, width, or length). 
However, the most common panel sizes of hardwood and decorative 
plywood are 1219 x 1829 mm (48 x 72 inches), 1219 x 2438 mm (48 x 96 
inches), and 1219 x 3048 mm (48 x 120 inches).
    Subject merchandise also includes hardwood and decorative 
plywood that has been further processed in a third country, 
including but not limited to trimming, cutting, notching, punching, 
drilling, or any other processing that would not otherwise remove 
the merchandise from the scope of the investigation if performed in 
the country of manufacture of the in-scope product.

[[Page 516]]

(including any revisions to that standard or any substantially 
equivalent international standard intended for structural plywood), 
and which has both a face and a back veneer of coniferous wood; (2) 
products which have a face and back veneer of cork; (3) multilayered 
wood flooring, as described in the antidumping duty and

Republic of China, 76 FR 76693 (December 8, 2011) (countervailing 
duty order), as amended by Multilayered Wood Flooring from the 
People's Republic of China: Amended Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Orders, 77 FR 5484 (February 3, 2012); (4) multilayered wood 
flooring with a face veneer of bamboo or composed entirely of 
bamboo; (5) plywood which has a shape or design other than a flat 
panel, with the exception of any minor processing described above; 
(6) products made entirely from bamboo and adhesives (also known as 
``solid bamboo''); and (7) Phenolic Film Faced Plyform (PFF), also 
known as Phenolic Surface Film Plywood (PSF), defined as a panel 
with an ``Exterior'' or ``Exposure 1'' bond classification as is 
defined by The Engineered Wood Association, having an opaque 
phenolic film layer with a weight equal to or greater than 90g/m3 
permanently bonded on both the face and back veneers and an opaque,
