SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On January 4, 2005, the Department of Commerce (Department)
published in the Federal Register the antidumping duty order on wooden
bedroom furniture from the People's Republic of China (PRC).\1\ On
January 3, 2013, the Department published a notice of opportunity to
request an administrative review of the wooden bedroom furniture
order.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ See Notice of Amended Final Determination of Sales at Less
Than Fair Value and Antidumping Duty Order: Wooden Bedroom Furniture
From the People's Republic of China, 70 FR 329 (January 4, 2005).
\2\ See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or
Suspended Investigation; Opportunity To Request Administrative
Review, 78 FR 288 (January 3, 2013).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Department received multiple timely requests for an
administrative review of the wooden bedroom furniture order and on
February 28, 2013, in accordance with section 751(a) of Tariff Act of
1930, as amended (the Act), published in the Federal Register a notice
of the initiation of an administrative review of that order.\3\ The
administrative review was initiated with respect to 200 companies or
groups of companies, and covers the period from January 1, 2012,
through December 31, 2012. While there are a number of companies which
remain under review, certain parties have timely withdrawn all review
requests for a number of other companies, as discussed below.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ See Wooden Bedroom Furniture From the People's Republic of
China: Initiation of Administrative Review, 78 FR 13626 (February
28, 2013) (Initiation Notice).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rescission of Review, in Part
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Department will rescind an
administrative review, in whole or in part, if the party that requested
the review withdraws its request within 90 days of the date of
publication of the notice of initiation of the requested review. All
requesting parties withdrew their respective requests for an
administrative review of the entities listed in Appendix I, within 90
days of the date of publication of the Initiation Notice. The entities
listed in Appendix I had a separate rate granted in the most recently
completed segment of this proceeding in which they were under review.
Accordingly, the Department is rescinding this review, in part, with
respect to these entities, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1).\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ See Appendix I.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Companies That Have Not Demonstrated Eligibility for a Separate Rate
In addition to the companies noted above, all review requests were
timely withdrawn for other companies that are currently under review
that either do not have a separate rate because they have never been
reviewed or did not demonstrate eligibility for a separate rate in the
most recently completed segment of this proceeding in which they were
under review. Therefore, these companies will continue to be subject to
the PRC-wide entity rate. While the requests for review of those
companies were withdrawn by all parties, those withdrawn companies are
part of the PRC-wide entity which could come under review in this
segment of the proceeding. If the PRC-wide entity comes under review we
will make a determination with respect to the PRC-wide entity at the
final results. A complete list of these entities without separate rates
is contained in Appendix II.
Assessment
For the entities in Appendix I for which the Department has
rescinded this review and which had a separate rate granted in the most
recently completed segment of this proceeding in which they were under
review, the Department intends to issue appropriate assessment
instructions directly to U.S. Customs and Border Protection 15 days
after the publication of this notice in the Federal Register. For these
entities, antidumping duties shall be assessed on period of review
entries at rates equal to the cash deposit 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).
For the entities in Appendix II, which are part of the PRC-wide
entity during the instant review period (i.e., have not established
their eligibility for a separate rate), the Department will issue
assessment instructions 15 days after publication of the final results
of this review.
Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a final reminder to importers whose entries
will be liquidated as a result of this rescission notice, of their
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f) 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 Secretary's assumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping duties.
Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Orders (APOs)
This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to APOs of
their responsibility concerning the return or destruction of
proprietary information disclosed under an APO in accordance with 19
CFR 351.305(a)(3), which continues to govern business proprietary
information in this segment of the proceeding. Timely written
notification of the return/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 violation which is
subject to sanction.
This notice is issued and published in accordance with section
777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).
Dated: September 25, 2013.
Christian Marsh,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Operations.
