POR, the specified POR may be 

extended unless it would be likely to 

prevent the completion of the review 

within the time limits set by the 

Department’s regulations. See 19 CFR 

351.214(f)(2)(ii). Additionally, the 

preamble to the Department’s 

regulations states that both the entry 

and the sale should occur during the 

POR, and that under ‘‘appropriate’’ 

circumstances the Department has the 

flexibility to extend the POR. See 

Antidumping Duties; Countervailing 

Duties; Final Rule, 62 FR 27296, 27319– 

27320 (May 19, 1997). In this instance, 

Rise Furniture’s sale of subject 

merchandise was made during the POR 

specified by the Department’s 

regulations but the shipment entered 

within thirty days after the end of that 

POR. The Department finds that 

extending the POR to capture this entry 

would not prevent the completion of the 

review within the time limits set by the 

Department’s regulations. Therefore, the 

Department has extended the POR for 

the new shipper review of Rise 

Furniture by thirty days. See 

Memorandum to the File through 

Abdelali Elouaradia, Director, AD/CVD 

Operations, Office 4: New Shipper 

Review of Wooden Bedroom Furniture, 

Placing CBP data on the record, dated 

concurrently with this notice. 

Initiation of New Shipper Reviews 

Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(B) of the 

Act and 19 CFR 351.214(d)(1), the 

Department finds that Rise Furniture 

and Zhejiang Tianyi meet the threshold 

requirements for initiation of new 

shipper reviews of their shipments of 

wooden bedroom furniture from the 

PRC. See Memorandum to the File 

through Abdelali Elouaradia, Director, 

AD/CVD Operations, Office 4: Initiation 

of AD New Shipper Review: Wooden 

Bedroom from the People’s Republic of 

China, and the attached New Shipper 

Initiation Checklists, dated concurrently 

with this notice. 

The POR for the new shipper review 

of Zhejiang Tianyi is January 1, 2009, 

through June 30, 2009. See 19 CFR 

351.214(g)(1)(i)(B). As discussed above, 

the POR for the new shipper review of 

Rise Furniture is January 1, 2009, 

through July 30, 2009. The Department 

intends to issue the preliminary results 

of these reviews no later than 180 days 

from the date of initiation, and the final 

results of these reviews no later than 

270 days from the date of initiation. See 

section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act. 

It is the Department’s usual practice, 

in cases involving non–market 

economies, to require that a company 

seeking to establish eligibility for an 

antidumping duty rate separate from the 

country–wide rate provide evidence of 

de jure and de facto absence of 

government control over the company’s 

export activities. Accordingly, we will 

issue questionnaires to Rise Furniture 

and Zhejiang Tianyi, which will include 

a separate rate section. The review of 

each exporter will proceed if the 

response provides sufficient indication 

that the exporter is not subject to either 

de jure or de facto government control 

with respect to its export of wooden 

bedroom furniture. 

We will instruct the CBP to allow, at 

the option of the importer, the posting, 

until the completion of the review, of a 

bond or security in lieu of a cash 

deposit for each entry of the subject 

merchandise from Rise Furniture and 

Zhejiang Tianyi in accordance with 

section 751(a)(2)(B)(iii) of the Act and 

19 CFR 351.214(e). Because Rise 

Furniture and Zhejiang Tianyi certified 

that they both produce and export the 

subject merchandise, the sale of which 

is the basis for these new shipper review 

requests, we will apply the bonding 

privilege to each respondent only for 

subject merchandise which the 

respondent both produced and 

exported. 

Interested parties requiring access to 

proprietary information in these new 

shipper reviews should submit 

applications for disclosure under 

administrative protective order in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.305 and 

351.306. 

This initiation and notice are 

published in accordance with section 

751(a)(2)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.214 and 351.221(c)(1)(i).

Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for
