Republic of China: Antidumping Duty Investigation, 78 FR 25946 (May

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Correction of Federal Register Notice
The Preliminary Determination listed the combination rates for the
respondents which were found to be eligible for a separate rate in this
investigation. The Department inadvertently failed to list one supplier
for Jiaxing Gsun Imp. & Exp. Co., Ltd. which should have received a
separate rate.\2\ The combination rate which should have been included
in the Preliminary Determination is listed below. This combination is
in addition to the rates which were published in the Preliminary
Determination and does not replace any previously published combination
rates. Additionally, the Department will issue instructions to Customs
and Border Protection correcting the suspension of liquidation
instructions that were issued pursuant to the publication of the
Preliminary Determination to include the below combination rate.

On April 3, 2013, Xuzhou Jiangyang Wood Industries Co. Ltd, and

of provisional measures.\3\ In accordance with sections 733(d) and 735

our preliminary determination is affirmative, (2) the requesting
exporters account for a significant proportion of exports of the
subject merchandise, and (3) no compelling reasons for denial exist, we
are granting the requests and are postponing the final determination
until no later than 135 days after the publication of the Preliminary
Determination. Suspension of liquidation will be extended accordingly.
