The Commerce Department is again amending its previously amended (see 2210200072) final results of a countervailing duty administrative review on softwood lumber products from Canada (C-122-858) to correct a ministerial error in listing companies under review for the period of calendar year 2020. It said Brink Forest Products Ltd.; Deep Cove Forest Products, Inc.; and Vanderhoof Specialty Wood Products Ltd. should have been included in the initiation notice, indicating they were part of the review. Commerce subsequently omitted those same companies from Appendix II of the original final results, where they should have been listed as being among the firms subject to the review that received the subsidy rate applicable to companies not selected for individual examination.

The Commerce Department released the final results of the antidumping duty administrative review on hydrofluorocarbon blends from China (A-570-028).

See the notice for the list of the 41 companies.
The Commerce Department issued the preliminary results of its antidumping duty administrative review on alloy and certain carbon steel threaded rod from China (A-570-104). The agency found that Ningbo Dongxin High-Strength Nut Co., Ltd., the only company remaining under review, did not qualify for a separate rate, assigning it to the China-wide entity with a rate of 48.91%. If the agency's finding is continued in the final results, importers of subject merchandise from Ningbo Donxin entered April 1, 2021, through March 31, 2022, will be assessed AD duties at that 48.91% rate. An AD cash deposit rate of 48.91% would take effect for Ningbo Dongxin upon publication of the final results of this review in the Federal Register.
The Commerce Department is revoking antidumping duties on hot-rolled steel flat products from Brazil (A-351-845/C-351-846), after the ITC in October found revocation of the orders would not lead to a resumption of injury to domestic industry (see 2210210058), Commerce said in a notice. Effective for entries on or after Oct. 3, 2021, Commerce will direct CBP to end suspension of liquidation and collection of AD/CVD cash deposits in connection with the now defunct AD/CVD orders, which had been in place since 2016. Entries before Oct. 3, 2021, will remain subject to suspension of liquidation and AD/CVD cash deposit requirements and assessments, Commerce said.
