Background

    On November 18, 2010, the Department simultaneously initiated 
antidumping and countervailing duty investigations of wood flooring 
from the PRC. See Multilayered Wood Flooring from the People's Republic 
of China: Initiation of Countervailing Duty Investigation, 75 FR 70719 
(November 18, 2010) and Multilayered Wood Flooring From the People's 
Republic of China: Initiation of Antidumping Duty Investigation, 75 FR 
70714 (November 18, 2010).
    On April 6, 2011, the Department published the preliminary 
affirmative countervailing duty determination pertaining to wood 
flooring from the PRC. See Multilayered Wood Flooring From the People's 
Republic of China: Preliminary Affirmative Countervailing Duty 
Determination, 76 FR 19034 (April 6, 2011). On April 4, 2011, the 
petitioner (the Coalition for American Hardwood Parity) requested 
alignment of the final countervailing duty determination with the final 
determination in the companion antidumping duty investigation of wood 
flooring from the PRC, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.210(b)(4)(i) and 
19 CFR 351.210(i). This request was timely made.
    Therefore, in accordance with section 705(a)(1) of the Tariff Act 
of 1930, as amended (``the Act''), and 19 CFR 351.210(b)(4), we are 
aligning the final countervailing duty determination of wood flooring 
from the PRC with the final determination in the companion antidumping 
duty investigation of wood flooring from the PRC. The final 
countervailing duty determination will be issued on the same date as 
the final antidumping duty determination, which is currently scheduled 
for August 2, 2011.
    This notice is issued and published pursuant to section 705(a)(1) 
of the Act.

    Dated: May 3, 2011.
Ronald K. Lorentzen,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
