liquidate without regard to antidumping 

duties any entries for which the 

assessment rate is de minimis (i.e., less 

than 0.50 percent). 

The Department clarified its 

‘‘automatic assessment’’ regulation on 

May 6, 2003. See Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Proceedings: 

Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 

FR 23954 (May 6, 2003). This 

clarification will apply to entries of 

subject merchandise during the POR 

produced by the respondent for which 

it did not know its merchandise was 

destined for the United States. In such 

instances, we will instruct CBP to 

liquidate unreviewed entries at the all–

others rate if there is no rate for the 

intermediate company(ies) involved in 

the transaction. For a full discussion of 

this clarification, see Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Proceedings: 

Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 

FR 23954 (May 6, 2003). 

For those companies for which this 

review is rescinded, antidumping duties 

shall be assessed 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 companies 

requesting a review, but not selected for 

examination and calculation of 

individual rates, we will calculate a 

weighted–average assessment rate based 

on all importer–specific assessment 

rates excluding any which are de 

minimis or margins determined entirely 

on adverse facts available. See Softwood 

Lumber Final Results, at 70 FR 73442. 

The Department will issue appraisement 

instructions directly to CBP. 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following deposit requirements 

will be effective upon completion of the 

final results of this administrative 

review for all shipments of SSB from 

India entered, or withdrawn from 

warehouse, for consumption on or after 

the publication date of the final results 

of this administrative review, as 

provided by section 751(a)(1) of the Act: 

1) the cash deposit rate for the reviewed 

company will be the rate established in 

the final results of this administrative 

review (except no cash deposit will be 

required if its weighted–average margin 

is de minimis, i.e., less than 0.5 

percent); 2) for the non–selected 

companies we will calculate a 

weighted–average cash deposit rate 

based on all the company–specific cash 

deposit rates, excluding de minimis 

margins or margins determined entirely 

on adverse facts available; 3) if the 

exporter is not a firm covered in this 

review, the previous review, or the 

original investigation, but the 

manufacturer is, the cash deposit rate 

will be the rate established for the most 

recent period for the manufacturer of 

the merchandise; and 4) if neither the 

exporter nor the manufacturer is a firm 

covered in this or any previous reviews, 

the cash deposit rate will be 12.45 

percent, the ‘‘all others’’ rate established 

in the LTFV investigation. See Notice of 

Final Determination of Sales at Less 

Than Fair Value: Stainless Steel Bar 

from India, 59 FR 66915 (December 28, 

1994). 

Notification to Importers 

This notice also serves as a 

preliminary reminder to importers of 

their responsibility under 19 CFR 

351.402(f)(2) 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 presumption that 

reimbursement of antidumping duties 

occurred and the subsequent assessment 

of double antidumping duties. 

We are issuing and publishing these 

results of review in accordance with 

sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the 

Act. 

Dated: February 23, 2007.

Wooden Bedroom Furniture From the 

People’s Republic of China; Initiation 

of New Shipper Reviews 

AGENCY: Import Administration, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

EFFECTIVE DATE: March 7, 2007. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce 

(the ‘‘Department’’) received timely 

requests to conduct new shipper 

reviews of the antidumping duty order 

on wooden bedroom furniture from the 

People’s Republic of China (‘‘PRC’’). In 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.214(d)(1), 

we are initiating new shipper reviews 

for Golden Well International (HK), Ltd. 

(‘‘Golden Well’’) and its supplier 

Zhangzhou XYM Furniture Product Co., 

Ltd. (Zhangzhou XYM), and for Mei Jia 

Ju Furniture Industrial (Shenzhen) Co., 

Ltd. (‘‘Mei Jia’’).

Stolz or Eugene Degnan, AD/CVD 

Operations, Office 8, Import 

Administration, International Trade 

Administration, U.S. Department of 

Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution 

Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20230; 

telephone: (202) 482–4474 or (202) 482–

0414, respectively. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Department received timely requests 

from Golden Well and Mei Jia on 

January 24 and 22, 2007 respectively, 

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

Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘the 

Act’’), and in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.214(c), for new shipper reviews of 

the antidumping duty order on wooden 

bedroom furniture from the PRC. 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). Although Mei Jia submitted a 

timely request, on February 7, 2007, the 

Department rejected Mei Jia’s request 

due to improper filing. However, 

because Mei Jia originally filed its 

request on January 22, 2007, but the 

request was not rejected by the 

Department until February 7, 2007, the 

Department allowed Mei Jia to refile its 

request by February 21, 2007. See the 

letter from the Department to Mei Jia 

dated February 7, 2007. On February 16, 

2007, Mei Jia re–submitted its request 

for a new shipper review. 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.214(b)(2)(i), 

19 CFR 351.214(b)(2)(ii), 19 CFR 

351.214(b)(2)(iii)(A), and 19 CFR 

351.214(b)(2)(iii)(B), in their requests for 

new shipper reviews, Golden Well (as 

an exporter), Zhangzhou XYM, and Mei 

Jia (as a producing exporter) certified 

that they did not export wooden 

bedroom furniture to the United States 

during the period of investigation 

(‘‘POI’’); that since the initiation of the 

investigation they have never been 

affiliated with any company that 

exported subject merchandise to the 

United States during the POI; and that 

their export activities were not 

controlled by the central government of 

the PRC. 

In accordance with 19 CFR 

351.214(b)(2)(iv), Golden Well and Mei 

Jia submitted documentation 

establishing the following: (1) The date 

on which they first shipped wooden 

bedroom furniture for export to the 

United States; (2) the volume of their 

first shipment; and (3) the date of their 

first sale to an unaffiliated customer in 

the United States.

Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 44 / Wednesday, March 7, 2007 / Notices 10159 

Initiation of New Shipper Review 

In accordance with section 

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

351.214(d)(1), and based on information 

on the record, we find that Golden Well 

and Mei Jia’s requests meet the 

initiation threshold requirements and 

we are initiating new shipper reviews 

for shipments of wooden bedroom 

furniture exported by Golden Well that 

were produced by Zhangzhou XYM and 

shipments of wooden bedroom furniture 

produced and exported by Mei Jia. See 

Memorandum to the File through 

Wendy J. Frankel, Director, New 

Shipper Initiation Checklist, dated, 

February 28, 2007. The Department will 

conduct these new shipper reviews 

according to the deadlines set forth in 

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

Pursuant to 19 CFR 

351.214(g)(1)(i)(A), the period of review 

(‘‘POR’’) for a new shipper review, 

initiated in the month immediately 

following the anniversary month, will 

be the twelve-month period 

immediately preceding the anniversary 

month. Therefore, the POR for the new 

shipper reviews of Golden Well and Mei 

Jia will be January 1 through December 

31, 2006. 

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 Golden Well and 

Mei Jia, including a separate–rate 

section. The reviews will proceed if the 

responses provide sufficient indication 

that Golden Well and Mei Jia are not 

subject to either de jure or de facto 

government control with respect to their 

exports of wooden bedroom furniture. 

However, if either Golden Well or Mei 

Jia does not demonstrate its eligibility 

for a separate rate, it will be deemed not 

separate from other companies that 

exported during the POI, and its new 

shipper review will be rescinded. 

On August 17, 2006, the Pension 

Protection Act of 2006 (H.R. 4) was 

signed into law. Section 1632 of H.R. 4 

temporarily suspends the authority of 

the Department to instruct U.S. Customs 

and Border Protection to collect a bond 

or other security in lieu of a cash 

deposit in new shipper reviews. 

Therefore, the posting of a bond or other 

security under section 751(a)(2)(B)(iii) 

of the Act in lieu of a cash deposit is 

not available in this case. Importers of 

wooden bedroom furniture 1) produced 

by Zhangzhou XYM and exported by 

Golden Well, or 2) produced and 

exported by Mei Jia must continue to 

post cash deposits of estimated 

antidumping duties on each entry of 

subject merchandise (i.e., wooden 

bedroom furniture) at the PRC–wide 

entity rate of 198.08 percent. 

Interested parties that need access to 

proprietary information in this new 

shipper review should submit 

applications for disclosure under 

administrative protective order in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.305 and 

351.306. 

This initiation and notice are issued 

in accordance with section 751(a)(2)(B) 

of the Act and 19 CFR 351.214 and 

351.221(c)(1)(i). 

Dated: February 28, 2007.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import 

Administration.
