\1\ If one of the above 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 exporter is a part.

* These companies received a separate rate in the most recent segment of this proceeding in which they participated.

Notice of No Sales

The companies on which we are initiating this review, should notify the Department within 30 days of publication of this notice in the

Federal Register if they had no shipments, entries or sales of the merchandise under consideration during the POR.

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) (``Sparklers''), as amplified by

Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value: Silicon Carbide from the People's Republic of China, 59 FR 22585 (May 2,1994)

(``Silicon Carbide''). 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.

In order for exporters or producers to obtain separate-rate status in NME administrative reviews, the Department requires parties to submit a separate-rate status application or certification. See Policy

Bulletin 05.1: Separate-Rates Practice and Application of Combination

Rates in Antidumping Investigations Involving Non-Market Economy

Countries (April 5, 2005), available on the Department's Web site at http://ia.ita.doc.gov/policy/bull05-1.pdf.

Due to the large number of firms requesting an administrative review in this proceeding, the Department is requiring all firms listed above that wish to qualify for separate-rate status in this administrative review to complete, as appropriate, either a separate- rate status application or certification, as described below.

For this administrative review, in order to demonstrate separate- rate eligibility, the Department requires entities for whom a review was requested, that were assigned a separate rate in the most recent segment of this proceeding in which they participated, to certify 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/ on the date of publication of this

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

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

Certification. Separate Rate Certifications are due to the Department no later than April 6, 2008. The deadline and requirement for submitting a Certification applies equally to NME-owned firms, wholly foreign-owned firms, and foreign sellers who purchase and export subject merchandise to the United States.

For entities that have not previously been assigned a separate rate, to demonstrate eligibility for such, the Department requires a

Separate Rate Status Application. The Separate Rate Status Application will be available on the Department's Web site at http:// ia.ita.doc.gov/ on the date of publication of this Federal Register. In responding to the Separate Rate Status Application, refer to the instructions contained in the application. Separate Rate Status

Applications are due to the Department no later than May 6, 2008. The deadline and requirement for submitting a Separate Rate Status

Application applies equally to NME-owned firms, wholly foreign-owned firms, and foreign sellers that purchase and export subject merchandise to the United States.

Section 777A(c)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``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) of the Act permits the

Department to examine either (1) a sample of exporters, producers or types of products that is statistically valid based on the information available at the time of selection; or (2) 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 requested for an administrative review and the

Department's experience regarding the resulting administrative burden to review each company for which a

Page 12392

request has been made, the Department is considering exercising its authority to limit the number of respondents selected for review using one of the two methods described above.

Selection of Respondents

For this administrative review, the Department intends to select respondents based on U.S. Customs and Border Protection (``CBP'') data for U.S. imports during the period of review (``POR''). We intend to make our decisions regarding respondent selection within 20 days of publication of this Federal Register notice. The Department invites comments regarding the CBP data and the selection of respondents within seven days of publication of this Federal Register notice.

Notification

This notice constitutes public notification to all firms requested for review and seeking separate-rate status in this administrative review of the antidumping duty order on wooden bedroom furniture from the PRC that they must submit a separate-rate status application or certification, as appropriate, within the time limits established in this notice of initiation of administrative review in order to receive consideration for separate-rate status. In other words, the Department will not give consideration to any Separate Rate Certification or

Separate Rate Status Application made by parties who fail to timely submit the requisite Separate Rate Certification or Application. All information submitted by respondents in this administrative review is subject to verification. To complete this segment within the statutory time frame, the Department will be limited in its ability to extend deadlines on the above submissions. As noted above, the Separate Rate

Certification and the Separate Rate Status Application will be available on the Department's Web site at http://ia.ita.doc.gov/ on the date of publication of this Federal Register.

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

Instructions for filing such applications may be found on the

Department's Web site at http://ia.ita.doc.gov.

This initiation and notice are in accordance with section 751(a) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i).

Dated: February 29, 2008.
