Multilayered Wood Flooring From the People's Republic of China: 
Final Results of Antidumping Duty New Shipper Reviews; 2012-2013

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.

DATES: Effective Date: November 7, 2014.
SUMMARY: On June 12, 2014, the Department of Commerce (``Department'') 
published the preliminary results of antidumping duty new shipper 
reviews of multilayered wood flooring (``MLWF'') from the People's 
Republic of China (``PRC'').\1\ We invited interested parties to 
comment on our preliminary results. Following our analysis of the 
comments, we made no changes to our preliminary margin calculations for 
new shippers Dalian Huade Wood Product Co., Ltd. (``Huade''), Linyi 
Bonn Flooring Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (``Bonn Flooring''), and Zhejiang 
Fuerjia Wooden Co., Ltd. (``Fuerjia''), and we continue to find that 
Huade, Bonn Flooring, and Fuerjia did not make sales of subject 
merchandise at less than normal value.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Case History

    The Department published the Preliminary Results on June 12, 
2014.\2\ On July 14, 2014, The Coalition for American Hardwood Parity 
(``CAHP'') submitted its case brief, and on July 21, 2014, Bonn 
Flooring submitted a rebuttal brief.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ Also adopted as part of the preliminary results was the 
Memorandum to Paul Piquado entitled ``Decision Memorandum for 
Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty New Shipper Review: 
Multilayered Wood Flooring from the People's Republic of China,'' 
dated June 6, 2014 (``Preliminary Decision Memorandum'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Period of Review

    The period of review (``POR'') for Bonn Flooring and Fuerjia is 
December 1, 2012 through May 31, 2013. The POR for Huade is December 1, 
2012 through June 30, 2013.\3\ Huade's sale of subject merchandise was 
made during the POR specified by the Department's regulations, but the 
shipment entered within thirty days after the end of that POR. When the 
sale of the subject merchandise occurs within the POR specified by the 
Department's regulations, but the entry occurs after the POR, the 
specified POR may be extended unless it would be likely to prevent the 
completion of the review within the time limits set by the Department's 
regulations.\4\ This POR corresponds to the period from the date of 
suspension of liquidation to the end of the month immediately preceding 
the first semiannual anniversary month pursuant to 19 CFR 
351.214(g)(1)(ii)(B).

Disclosure

    We intend to disclose to parties the calculations performed in this 
proceeding within five days of the date of publication of this notice 
in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).

Assessment

    Upon issuance of the final results, the Department will determine, 
and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (``CBP'') shall assess, 
antidumping duties on all appropriate entries in accordance with 19 CFR 
351.212(b). The Department intends to issue assessment instructions to 
CBP 15 days after the date of publication of the final results of 
review. Where either the respondent's weighted-average dumping margin 
is zero or de minimis, or an importer-specific assessment rate is zero 
or de minimis, we will instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate 
entries without regard to antidumping duties. For entries that were not 
reported in the U.S. sales databases submitted by the companies 
individually examined during these reviews, the Department will 
instruct CBP to liquidate such entries at the NME-wide rate.\6\

Economy Antidumping Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 
76 FR 65694 (October 24, 2011).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cash Deposit Requirements

    The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon 
publication of the final results of these new shipper reviews for 
shipments of the subject merchandise from the PRC entered, or withdrawn 
from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date, as 
provided for by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 
amended (the ``Act''): (1) For the exporter/producer combinations 
listed above, the cash deposit rate will be 0.00 percent and (2) for 
subject merchandise exported by Bonn Flooring, Fuerjia, or Huade but 
not self-produced by the respective exporters, the cash deposit rate 
will be the PRC-wide rate of 58.84 percent.

Notification to Importers

    This notice also serves as a final reminder to importers of their 
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate 
regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation 
of the relevant entries during these PORs. Failure to comply with this 
requirement could result in the Secretary's presumption that 
reimbursement of the antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent 
assessment of double antidumping duties.

Notification Regarding APO

    This notice also serves as a reminder to the parties subject to 
administrative protective order (``APO'') of their responsibility 
concerning the disposition of business proprietary information 
(``BPI'') disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), 
which continues to govern BPI in this segment of the proceeding. Timely 
notification of return or destruction of APO materials or conversion to 
judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to comply with 
the regulations and terms of an APO is a sanctionable violation.
    This determination is issued and published in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(2)(B) and 777(i) of the Act.

    Dated: October 31, 2014.
Ronald K. Lorentzen,
Acting Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
