Partial Rescission of Review

    We initiated a review of 146 companies and the China-wide entity 
for this segment of the proceeding.\3\ All requests for review of the 
following producers/exporters were timely withdrawn: Dalian Penghong 
Floor Products Co., Ltd. (Dalian Penghong), Dalian Shumaike Floor

with respect to the following companies: Armstrong Wood Products 
(Kunshan) Co., Ltd., Fine Furniture (Shanghai) Limited and Double F 
Limited, and Jisen Wood.\5\ Lastly, we inadvertently initiated the 
review with respect to Baroque Timber Industries (Zhongshan) Co., Ltd., 
despite no request for review of this company.\6\ Accordingly, Commerce 
is rescinding the administrative review with respect to these eight 
companies.\7\ See Appendix II for a complete list of these companies.

Preliminary Determination of No Shipments

    Based on an analysis of information from U.S. Customs and Border 
Protection (CBP), no shipment certifications, and other record 
information, we preliminarily determine that 18 companies had no 
shipments of subject merchandise during the period

[[Page 65631]]

of review (POR).\8\ For additional information regarding this 
determination, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. Consistent with 
our practice in non-market economy (NME) cases, we are not rescinding 
this administrative review with respect to these companies but, rather, 
intend to complete the review and issue appropriate instructions to CBP 
based on the final results of the review.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ See Appendix II for a list of these companies.
    \9\ See Non-Market Economy Antidumping Proceedings: Assessment 
of Antidumping Duties, 76 FR 65694, 65694-95 (October 24, 2011) and 
the ``Assessment Rates'' section, below.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Separate Rates

    We preliminarily determine that, in addition to mandatory 
respondents, Jiangsu Senmao Bamboo and Wood Industry Co., Ltd. (Jiangsu 
Senmao), and Sino-Maple (Jiangsu) Co., Ltd. (Sino-Maple), 59 companies 
not individually examined are eligible for separate rates in this 
review.\10\ The statute and Commerce's regulations do not address the 
establishment of a rate to be applied to individual respondents not 
selected for individual examination when Commerce limits its 
examination in an administrative review pursuant to section 777A(c)(2) 
of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). Generally, Commerce 
looks to section 735(c)(5) of the Act, which provides instructions for 
calculating the all-others rate in an investigation, for guidance when 
calculating the rate for separate-rate respondents which Commerce did 
not examine individually in an administrative review. For the 
preliminary results of this review, Commerce has determined the 
estimated dumping margin for each of the individually examined 
respondents to be zero or based entirely on facts otherwise 
available.\11\ As a result, following the guidance in section 
735(c)(5)(b) of the Act, we assigned to all eligible non-selected 
respondents the simple average of the separate rates assigned to 
Jiangsu Senmao and Sino-Maple for the preliminary results of this 
review.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ See Preliminary Decision Memorandum.
    \11\ See Memorandum, ``Preliminary Results Margin Calculation 
for Jiangsu Senmao Bamboo and Wood Industry Co., Ltd.,'' dated 
concurrently with this notice (Jiangsu Senmao Calculation 
Memorandum). See also Preliminary Decision Memorandum.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The China-Wide Entity

    Commerce's policy regarding conditional review of the China-wide 
entity applies to this administrative review.\12\ Under this policy, 
the China-wide entity will not be under review unless a party 
specifically requests, or Commerce self-initiates, a review of the 
entity. A request for a review of the China-wide entity was made in 
this review.\13\ Therefore, the China-wide entity is subject to this 
administrative review.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ See Antidumping Proceedings: Announcement of Change in 
Department Practice for Respondent Selection in Antidumping Duty 
Proceedings and Conditional Review of the Nonmarket Economy Entity 
in NME Antidumping Duty Proceedings, 78 FR 65963 (November 4, 2013).
    \13\ See the Coalition for American Hardwood Parity's Letter, 
``Request for Administrative Review: Multilayered Wood Flooring from 
the People's Republic of China,'' dated December 28, 2017.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Aside from the companies we preliminarily find made no shipments 
and those companies for which the review is being rescinded, Commerce 
considers all other companies for which a review was requested and 
which did not demonstrate separate rate eligibility to be part of the 
China-wide entity.\14\ For the preliminary results of this review, we 
consider 59 companies to be part of the China-wide entity. For 
additional information, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \14\ See Initiation Notice (``All firms listed below that wish 
to qualify for separate rate status in the administrative reviews 
involving NME countries must complete, as appropriate, either a 
separate rate application or certification, as described below.'') 
Companies that are subject to this administrative review that are 
considered to be part of the China-wide entity are listed in 
Appendix II.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Application of Adverse Facts Available (AFA)

    We preliminarily determine that the use of facts otherwise 
available is warranted with respect to the China-wide entity, in 
accordance with sections 776(a)(1) and (a)(2)(A)-(C) of the Act, 
because the China-wide entity failed to provide necessary information, 
withheld information requested by Commerce, and significantly impeded 
the proceeding by not responding to Commerce's quantity and value 
questionnaire.\15\ Further, pursuant to section 776(b) of the Act, we 
preliminarily determine that, because the China-wide entity failed to 
cooperate by not acting to the best of its ability, an adverse 
inference is warranted.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \15\ See Commerce's Letter, ``Quantity and Value Questionnaire 
for the 2016-2017 Antidumping Duty Administrative Review of 
Multilayered Wood Flooring from the People's Republic of China,'' 
dated May 18, 2018.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    We also determine that the use of facts otherwise available is 
warranted with respect to Sino-Maple, in accordance with sections 
776(a)(1) and (a)(2)(A)-(C) of the Act, because Sino-Maple failed to 
provide necessary information, withheld information requested by 
Commerce, and significantly impeded the proceeding, by not reporting 
the nature of its relationship with a U.S. affiliate and certain sales 
information. Further, pursuant to section 776(b) of the Act, we 
preliminarily determine that, because Sino-Maple failed to cooperate by 
not acting to the best of its ability, an adverse inference is 
warranted.
    For additional information, see the Preliminary Decision 
Memorandum.

Methodology

    We are conducting this review in accordance with section 
751(a)(1)(B) of the Act. We calculated export prices for Jiangsu Senmao 
in accordance with section 772 of the Act. Because China is an NME 
within the meaning of section 771(18) of the Act, we calculated NV in 
accordance with section 773(c) of the Act. Additionally, as discussed 
above, we are basing Sino-Maple's estimated dumping margin entirely on 
facts otherwise available.
    For a full description of the methodology underlying our 
conclusions, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. The Preliminary 
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 Commerce building. In addition, a complete 
version of the Preliminary Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly 
on the internet at http://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/index.html. The 
signed Preliminary Decision Memorandum and the electronic version of 
the Preliminary Decision Memorandum are identical in content. A list of 
topics discussed in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum is included as 
Appendix I to this notice.

Preliminary Results of Review

    In this administrative review, we preliminarily calculated a 
weighted-average dumping margin for Jiangsu Senmao of zero.\16\ As 
total AFA, we assigned to Sino-Maple the highest transaction-specific 
margin calculated for any respondent in this segment of the proceeding, 
or 96.51 percent.\17\ As discussed above, for the 59 additional 
companies subject to this review that established separate rate 
eligibility, we assigned a simple average of the separate rates 
assigned to Jiangsu Senmao and Sino-Maple, or 48.26

[[Page 65632]]

percent. Further, as noted, the China-wide entity is subject to this 
administrative review, and therefore, the rate established in the 
investigation of 25.62 percent is subject to change. As total AFA, we 
also preliminarily assigned a rate of 96.51 percent to the China-wide 
entity. For additional information, see the Preliminary Decision 
Memorandum.

Memorandum.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    For the 61 companies subject to this review that have established 
their eligibility for a separate rate, and the China-wide entity, we 
preliminarily determine that the following estimated dumping margins 
exist for the period December 1, 2016, through November 30, 2017:

Disclosure and Public Comment

    We intend to disclose to interested parties the calculations 
performed for these preliminary results within five days of the date of 
publication of this notice in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). 
Interested parties may submit case briefs no later than 30 days after 
the date of publication of these preliminary results of review.\18\ 
Rebuttals to case briefs may be filed no later than five days after the 
written comments are filed, and all rebuttal comments must be limited 
to comments raised in the case briefs.\19\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \18\ See 19 CFR 351.309(c).
    \19\ See 19 CFR 351.309(d).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.309(c)(2) and (d)(2), parties who submit 
case briefs or rebuttal briefs in this review are encouraged to submit 
with each argument: (1) A statement of the issue; (2) a brief summary 
of the argument; and (3) a table of authorities.
    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), interested parties who wish to 
request a hearing, limited to issues raised in the case and rebuttal 
briefs, must submit a written request to the Assistant Secretary for 
Enforcement and Compliance, U.S. Department of Commerce, within 30 days 
after the date of publication of this notice. Requests should contain 
the party's name, address, and telephone number, the number of 
participants, whether any participant is a foreign national, and a list 
of the issues to be discussed. If a request for a hearing is made, we 
intend to hold the hearing at the U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 
Constitution Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20230, at a time and date to be 
determined. Parties should confirm by telephone the date, time, and 
location of the hearing two days before the scheduled date.
    Unless otherwise extended, we intend to issue the final results of 
this administrative review, which will include the results of our 
analysis of the issues raised in the case briefs, within 120 days of 
publication of these preliminary results in the Federal Register, 
pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.

Assessment Rates

    Upon issuance of the final results, Commerce will determine, and 
CBP shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries covered 
by this review, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b). We intend to 
issue appropriate assessment instructions with respect to the companies 
for which this review is rescinded to CBP 15 days after the publication 
of this notice.
    For the companies for which this review is rescinded, antidumping 
duties shall be assessed at rates equal to the cash deposit of 
estimated antidumping duties required at the time of entry, or 
withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption, in accordance with 19 CFR 
351.212(c)(1)(i). For the respondents that were not selected for 
individual examination in this administrative review that qualified for 
a separate rate, the assessment rate will be equal to the simple 
average of the estimated dumping margins assigned to Jiangsu Senmao and 
Sino-Maple in the final results of this review.\20\ For the final 
results, if we continue to base the China-wide entity and Sino-Maple's 
estimated dumping margin on total adverse facts available, we will 
instruct CBP to apply an ad valorem assessment rate of 96.51 percent to 
all entries of subject merchandise during the POR which were produced 
and/or exported by those entities.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \20\ See Drawn Stainless Steel Sinks from the People's Republic 
of China: Preliminary Results of the Antidumping Duty Administrative 
Review and Preliminary Determination of No Shipments: 2014-2015, 81 
FR 29528 (May 12, 2016), and accompanying Preliminary Decision 
Memorandum at 10-11; unchanged in Drawn Stainless Steel Sinks from 
the People's Republic of China: Final Results of Antidumping Duty 
Administrative Review; Final Determination of No Shipments; 2014-
2015, 81 FR 54042 (August 15, 2016).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    If, in the final results, Jiangsu Senmao's weighted-average dumping 
margin continues to be zero or de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 
percent), Commerce 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 company 
individually examined during this review, Commerce will instruct CBP to 
liquidate such entries at the China-wide rate. In addition, if we 
continue to find no shipments of subject merchandise for the 18 
companies for which we preliminarily find no such shipments during the 
POR,\21\ any suspended entries of subject merchandise from those 
companies will be liquidated at the China-wide rate.\22\

of Antidumping Duties, 76 FR 65694, 65695 (October 24, 2011).

Cash Deposit Requirements

    The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon 
publication of the final results of this administrative review for all 
shipments of the subject merchandise from China entered, or withdrawn 
from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date, as 
provided for by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For the companies 
listed above that have a separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be 
that rate established in the final results of this review (except, if 
the rate is de minimis, then a cash deposit rate of zero will be 
required); (2) for previously investigated or reviewed Chinese and non-
Chinese exporters for which a review was not requested and that 
received a separate rate in a prior segment of this proceeding, the 
cash deposit rate will continue to be the existing exporter-specific 
rate; (3) for all Chinese exporters of subject merchandise that have 
not been found to be entitled to a separate rate, the cash deposit rate 
will be the rate for the China-wide entity, as discussed above; and (4) 
for all non-China exporters of subject merchandise that have not 
received their own rate, the cash deposit rate will be the rate 
applicable to China exporter(s) that supplied that non-China exporter. 
These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect 
until further notice.

Notification to Importers

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