Background
On January 4, 2018, the Department of Commerce (Commerce) published
the antidumping duty order on hardwood plywood products (plywood) from
the People's Republic of China (China).\1\ On July 30, 2019, Commerce
received a timely new shipper review (NSR) request from Xuzhou Constant
Forest Industry Co., Ltd. (Constant Forest), in accordance with section
751(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), and 19
CFR 351.214(c).\2\ On August 27, 2019, in accordance with section
751(a)(2)(B) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.214(b), Commerce initiated a
NSR of the antidumping duty order on plywood from China with respect to
Constant Forest.\3\ On September 12, 2019, Constant Forest timely
withdrew its request for a NSR.\4\

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rescission of Review
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.214(f)(1), Commerce will rescind a NSR, in
whole or in part, if the party that requested the review withdraws its
request within 60 days of the publication date of the notice of
initiation of the requested review. Constant Forest withdrew its
request for review within the 60-day deadline. Because Commerce
received no other requests for review of Constant Forest, we are
rescinding the NSR covering the period January 1, 2019 through June 30,
2019, in full, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.214(f)(1). Consequently,
we will continue to treat Constant Forest as part of the China-wide
entity.
Assessment
Because we are rescinding the NSR of Constant Forest, we are not
making a determination as to whether Constant Forest qualifies for a
separate rate. Therefore, we will continue to treat Constant Forest a
part of the China-wide entity and any entries covered by this NSR will
be assessed at the China-wide rate. The China-wide entity is not under
[[Page 51112]]
review in the ongoing administrative review covering the 2016-2018
period of review, and therefore, Constant Forest is not under review in
the concurrent administrative review.\5\ Accordingly, Commerce will
instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to assess antidumping
duties on entries of plywood from China during the period of review
made by Constant Forest. For this company, antidumping duties shall be
assessed at rates equal to the cash deposit rate 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).
Commerce intends to issue appropriate assessment instructions to CBP 15
days after publication of this notice in the Federal Register.

Notification to Importers
This notice serves as the only reminder to importers whose entries
will be liquidated as a result of this rescission notice, 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 this review period. Failure to comply
with this requirement could result in the presumption that
reimbursement of the antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping duties.
Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Order
This notice also serves as the only reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the disposition 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 terms of an APO is a sanctionable
violation.
Notification to Interested Parties
This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections 751
and 777(i)(l) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.214(f)(3).
Dated: September 23, 2019.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
