Initiation of Administrative Review of the Antidumping Duty Order on Wooden Bedroom Furniture From the People's Republic of China

AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration,

Department of Commerce.

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (the Department) has received requests to conduct an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on wooden bedroom furniture from the People's Republic of China

(PRC). The anniversary month of this order is January. In accordance with the Department's regulations, we are initiating this administrative review.

DATES: Effective Date: March 4, 2010.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jeffrey Pedersen, Rebecca Pandolph, or

David Edmiston, AD/CVD Operations, Office 4, Import Administration,

International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th

Street and Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20230, telephone:

(202) 482-2769, (202) 482-3627, or (202) 482-0989 respectively.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

The Department received timely requests, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(b), for an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on wooden bedroom furniture from the PRC covering multiple entities.

The Department is now initiating an administrative review of the order covering those entities.

Notice of No Sales

Under 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), the Department may rescind a review where there are no exports, sales, or entries of subject merchandise during the relevant period of review (POR) listed below. If a producer or exporter named in this notice of initiation had no exports, sales, or entries during the POR, it should notify the Department of this fact by the due date for responding to the

Page 9870

Department's Quantity and Value (``Q&V'') Questionnaire. See http:// ia.ita.doc.gov/download/prc-wbf/index.html for a copy of the Q&V questionnaire. The Department will consider rescinding the review only if the producer or exporter, as appropriate, submits a properly filed and timely statement certifying that it had no exports, sales, or entries of subject merchandise during the POR.\1\ All submissions must be made in accordance with 19 CFR 351.303 and are subject to verification in accordance with section 782(i) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). Six copies of the submission should be submitted to the Assistant Secretary for Import Administration,

International Trade Administration, Room 1870, U.S. Department of

Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20230. Further, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.303(f)(1)(i), a copy of each request must be served on every party on the Department's service list.

\1\ Producers or exporters may also fulfill this requirement by submitting a properly filed and timely Q&V questionnaire response that indicates that the entity or entities had no exports, sales, or entries of subject merchandise during the POR.

Respondent Selection

Section 777A(c)(1) of the Act directs the Department to calculate individual dumping margins for each known exporter and producer of the subject merchandise. Where it is not practicable to examine all known producers/exporters of subject merchandise, section 777A(c)(2)(B) of the Act permits the Department to examine exporters and producers accounting for the largest volume of the subject merchandise from the exporting country that can be reasonably examined. Due to the large number of firms for which an administrative review of wooden bedroom furniture has been requested, and the Department's experience regarding the resulting administrative burden of reviewing each company for which a request has been made, the Department is considering exercising its authority to limit the number of respondents selected for review in accordance with the Act.

In the event that the Department limits the number of respondents for individual examination in the administrative review of wooden bedroom furniture, the Department intends to select respondents based on volume data contained in responses to Q&V questionnaires. Further, the Department intends to limit the number of Q&V questionnaires issued in the review based on U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) data for U.S. imports classified under the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the

United States (HTSUS) headings identified in the scope of the antidumping duty order on wooden bedroom furniture from the PRC. Since the units used to measure import quantities are not consistent for the

HTSUS headings identified in the scope of the order on wooden bedroom furniture from the PRC, the Department will limit the number of Q&V questionnaires issued based on the import values in CBP data which will serve as a proxy for import quantities. Parties subject to the review to which the Department does not send a Q&V questionnaire may file a response to the Q&V questionnaire by the applicable deadline if they desire to be included in the pool of companies from which the

Department will select mandatory respondents. Parties will be given the opportunity to comment on the CBP data used by the Department to limit the number of Q&V questionnaires issued. We intend to release the CBP data under Administrative Protective Order (APO) to all parties having an APO within five days of publication of this notice in the Federal

Register. The deadline for commenting on the CBP data will be 10 calendar days after publication of this notice in the Federal Register.

In this case, the Department has decided to send Q&V questionnaires to the 20 companies for which reviews were requested with the largest total values of subject merchandise imported into the United States during the POR according to CBP data. The Department will issue the Q&V questionnaire the day after this notice is signed. In addition, the Q&V questionnaire will be available on the Department's Web site at http:// ia.ita.doc.gov/download/prc-wbf/index.html on the date this notice is signed. The responses to the Q&V questionnaire must be received by the

Department by March 23, 2010. Please be advised that due to the time constraints imposed by the statutory and regulatory deadlines for antidumping duty administrative reviews, the Department may not grant any extensions for the submission of responses to the Q&V questionnaire.

Separate Rates

In proceedings involving non-market economy (NME) countries, the

Department begins with a rebuttable presumption that all companies within the country are subject to government control and, thus, should be assigned a single antidumping duty deposit rate. It is the

Department's policy to assign all exporters of merchandise subject to an administrative review in an NME country this single rate unless an exporter can demonstrate that it is sufficiently independent so as to be entitled to a separate rate.

To establish whether a firm is sufficiently independent from government control of its export activities to be entitled to a separate rate, the Department analyzes each entity exporting the subject merchandise under a test arising from the Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value: Sparklers from the People's Republic of China, 56 FR 20588 (May 6, 1991), as amplified by the Final

Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value: Silicon Carbide from the People's Republic of China, 59 FR 22585 (May 2, 1994). In accordance with the separate-rates criteria, the Department assigns separate rates to companies in NME cases only if respondents can demonstrate the absence of both de jure and de facto government control over export activities.

All firms listed below that wish to qualify for separate-rate status in the antidumping duty administrative review of wooden bedroom furniture from the PRC must timely file, as appropriate, either a separate-rate application or certification, as described below. In order to demonstrate separate-rate eligibility, entities for which a review was requested and which were assigned a separate rate in the most recently completed segment of this proceeding in which they participated, must timely file a separate rate certification that they continue to meet the criteria for obtaining a separate rate. The

Separate Rate Certification form will be available on the Department's

Web site at http://ia.ita.doc.gov/nme/sep-rate-files/072909/prc-sr- cert-072909.pdf on the date of publication of this notice in the

Federal Register. In responding to the certification, please follow the

``Instructions for Filing the Certification'' in the Separate Rate

Certification. Separate Rate Certifications must be received by the

Department no later than 30 calendar days after publication of this notice in the Federal Register. The deadline and requirement for submitting the Separate Rate Certification applies equally to NME-owned firms, wholly foreign-owned firms, and foreign sellers who purchase and export subject merchandise to the United States.

Entities that currently do not have a separate rate from a completed segment of this proceeding,\2\ must timely file a

Page 9871

Separate Rate Application to demonstrate eligibility for a separate rate in this proceeding. In addition, companies that received a separate rate in a completed segment of the proceeding that have subsequently made changes, including, but not limited to, changes to corporate structure, acquisitions of new companies or facilities, or changes to their official company name,\3\ should timely file a

Separate Rate Application to demonstrate eligibility for a separate rate in this proceeding. The Separate Rate Application will be available on the Department's Web site at http://ia.ita.doc.gov/nme/ sep-rate-files/072909/prc-sr-app-072909.pdf on the date of publication of this notice in the Federal Register. In responding to the Separate

Rate Application, refer to the instructions contained in the application. Separate Rate Applications must be received by the

Department no later than 60 calendar days after publication of this notice in the Federal Register. The deadline and requirement for submitting a Separate Rate Application applies equally to NME-owned firms, wholly foreign-owned firms, and foreign sellers that purchase and export subject merchandise to the United States.

\2\ Such entities include entities that have not participated in the proceeding, entities that were preliminarily granted a separate rate in any currently incomplete segment of the proceeding (e.g., an ongoing administrative review, new shipper review, etc.) and entities that lost their separate rate in the most recently completed segment of the proceeding in which they participated.

\3\ Only changes to the official company name, rather than trade names, need to be addressed via a Separate Rate Application.

Information regarding new trade names may be submitted via a

Separate Rate Certification.

Firms that submit a Separate Rate Application or a Separate Rate

Certification that are subsequently selected as mandatory respondents will no longer be eligible for consideration of their separate-rate status unless they respond to all parts of the antidumping duty questionnaire as mandatory respondents.

Notification

This notice constitutes public notification to all firms for which an administrative review of wooden bedroom furniture has been requested and that are seeking separate rate status in that review, that they must submit a timely Separate Rate Application or Certification (as appropriate) as described above, in order to receive consideration for separate-rate status. In addition, firms to which the Department issues a Q&V questionnaire must submit a timely and complete response to the

Q&V questionnaire, as well as a timely and complete Separate Rate

Application or Certification, as appropriate, in order to receive consideration for separate-rate status. In other words, the Department will not give consideration to any timely Separate Rate Certification or timely Separate Rate Application made by parties to whom the

Department issued a Q&V questionnaire but who failed to timely respond to the Q&V questionnaire. However, exporters subject to the review to which the Department does not send a Q&V questionnaire may receive consideration for separate-rate status if they file a timely Separate

Rate Application or a timely Separate Rate Certification, as appropriate, without filing a response to the Q&V questionnaire. All information submitted by respondents in this administrative review is subject to verification. Please be advised that due to the time constraints imposed by the statutory and regulatory deadlines for antidumping duty administrative reviews, the Department may not grant any extensions of the deadlines for these submissions. As noted above, the Separate Rate Certification, the Separate Rate Application, and the

Q&V questionnaire will be available on the Department's Web site on the date of publication of this notice in the Federal Register, at the addresses noted above.

Initiation of Review

In accordance with 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i), we are initiating an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on wooden bedroom furniture from the PRC with respect to the following companies. We intend to issue the final results of this review not later than January 31, 2011.

\4\ If one of the named companies does not qualify for a separate rate, all other exporters of wooden bedroom furniture from the PRC that have not qualified for a separate rate are deemed to be covered by this review as part of the single PRC entity of which the named exporters are a part.

During any administrative review covering all or part of a period falling between the first and second or third and fourth anniversary of the publication of an antidumping duty order under 19 CFR 351.211 or a determination under 19 CFR 351.218(f)(4) to continue an order or suspended investigation (after sunset review), the Secretary, if requested by a domestic interested party within 30 days of the date of publication of the notice of initiation of the review, will determine, consistent with FAG Italia v. United States, 291 F.3d 806 (Fed. Cir. 2002), as appropriate, whether antidumping duties have been absorbed by an exporter or producer subject to the review if the subject merchandise is sold in the United States through an importer that is affiliated with such exporter or producer. The request must include the name(s) of the exporter or producer for which the inquiry is requested.

Interested parties must submit applications for disclosure under administrative protective orders in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305. On

January 22, 2008, the Department published in the Federal Register the following document: Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Proceedings:

Documents Submission Procedures; APO Procedures, 73 FR 3634 (January 22, 2008). Those procedures apply to the antidumping duty administrative review of wooden bedroom furniture from the PRC being initiated through this notice. Parties that wish to participate in the antidumping duty administrative review of wooden bedroom furniture from the PRC should ensure that they meet the requirements in these procedures (e.g. the filing of separate letters of appearance as discussed in 19 CFR 351.103 (d)).

This initiation and notice are in accordance with section 751(a) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1675(a)), and 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i). Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i), the Department will publish the notice of initiation of an administrative review no later than the last day of the month following the anniversary month of the order. As explained in the memorandum from the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import

Administration, the Department has exercised its discretion to toll deadlines for the duration of the closure of the Federal Government from February 5 through February 12, 2010. Thus, the deadline for publishing this notice of initiation has been extended by seven days.

The revised deadline for publishing this notice is now March 8, 2010, which is the first business day after the extended deadline. See

Memorandum to the Record from Ronald Lorentzen, DAS for Import

Administration, regarding ``Tolling of Administrative Deadlines As a

Result of the Government Closure During the Recent Snowstorm,'' dated

February 12, 2010.

Dated: February 26, 2010.

Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing

Duty Operations.
