Correction to Final Results: On June 14, 2018, the Department of Commerce (Commerce) published in the Federal Register the Final Results of the 2015 administrative review of the countervailing duty (CVD) Order on multilayered wood flooring from the People's Republic of China (China). Subsequently, we received a timely filed allegation that the name for one non-selected company was inadvertently misspelled. Specifically, the published Federal Register notice contained a ministerial error in that it included an exporter's name that was misspelled as Baishan Huafeng Wood Product Co., Ltd. The correct spelling of this exporter's name is Baishan Huafeng Wooden Product Co., Ltd. Pursuant to section 751(h) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), Commerce shall correct any ministerial errors within a reasonable time after the determinations are issued under this section. A ministerial error is defined at 19 CFR 351.224(f) as an error “in addition, subtraction, or other arithmetic function, clerical errors resulting from inaccurate copying, duplication, or the like, and any other type of unintentional error. . .” Therefore, we are amending the Final Results of the administrative review covering the period January 1, 2015, through December 31, 2015. This notice serves to correct the misspelled exporter company name listed in the Final Results. No other changes have been made to the Final Results.
