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) (furniture order). 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). On January 5, 2009, the 

Department published a notice of 

opportunity to request an administrative 

review of the furniture order. See 

Antidumping or Countervailing Duty 

Order, Finding, or Suspended 

Investigation: Opportunity to Request 

Administrative Review, 74 FR 265 

(January 5, 2009). 

The Department received multiple 

timely requests for an administrative 

review of the furniture order and on 

February 26, 2009, 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

initiated with respect to 200 companies 

or groups of companies, and covers the

December 31, 2008. 

Partial Rescission of Review 

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. Because all requesting parties 

withdrew their respective requests for 

an administrative review of the 

following entities within 90 days of the

accordance with 19 CFR

CFR 351.402(f) to file a certificate 

regarding the reimbursement of

This notice also serves as a reminder 

to parties subject to APOs of their 

responsibility concerning the return or

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).

(202) 482–2573. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Title V of the Trade and Development 

Act of 2000 (the Act) created two tariff 

rate quotas (TRQs), providing for 

temporary reductions in the import 

duties on limited quantities of two 

categories of worsted wool fabrics 

suitable for use in making suits, suittype jackets, or trousers: (1) For worsted 

wool fabric with average fiber diameters 

greater than 18.5 microns (Harmonized 

Tariff Schedule of the United States 

(HTS) heading 9902.51.11); and (2) for 

worsted wool fabric with average fiber 

diameters of 18.5 microns or less (HTS 

heading 9902.51.12). On August 6, 2002, 

President Bush signed into law the 

Trade Act of 2002, which includes 

several amendments to Title V of the 

Act. On December 3, 2004, the Act was 

further amended pursuant to the 

Miscellaneous Trade Act of 2004, Public 

Law 108–429. The 2004 amendment 

included authority for the Department 

to allocate a TRQ for new HTS category, 

HTS 9902.51.16. This HTS category 

refers to worsted wool fabric with 

average fiber diameter of 18.5 microns 

or less. The amendment provided that 

HTS 9902.51.16 is for the benefit of 

persons (including firms, corporations, 

or other legal entities) who weave such 

worsted wool fabric in the United States 

that is suitable for making men’s and 

boys’ suits. The TRQ for HTS 

9902.51.16 provided for temporary 

reductions in the import duties on 

2,000,000 square meters annually for 

2005 and 2006. The amendment 

requires that the TRQ be allocated to 

persons who weave worsted wool fabric 

with average fiber diameter of 18.5 

microns or less, which is suitable for 

use in making men’s and boys’ suits, in 

the United States. On August 17, 2006, 

the Act was further amended pursuant 

to the Pension Protection Act of 2006, 

Public Law 109–280, which extended 

the TRQ for HTS 9902.51.16 through 

2009. The Emergency Economic 

Stabilization Act of 2008 extended the 

TRQ for HTS 9902.51.16 through 2014. 

On October 24, 2005, the Department 

adopted final regulations establishing 

procedures for allocating the TRQ. See 

70 FR 61363; 19 CFR 335. In order to 

be eligible for an allocation, an 

applicant must submit an application on 

the form provided at http:// 

web.ita.doc.gov/tacgi/wooltrq.nsf/ 

TRQApp/fabric to the address listed 

above by 5 p.m. on October 2, 2009 in 

compliance with the requirements of 15 

CFR part 335. Any business confidential 

information that is marked business 

confidential will be kept confidential 

and protected from disclosure to the full 

extent permitted by law.
