Wooden Bedroom Furniture From the 

People’s Republic of China: Final 

Rescission of Antidumping Duty New 

Shipper Review 

AGENCY: Import Administration, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: On January 10, 2012, the 

Department of Commerce (the 

‘‘Department’’) published the 

preliminary rescission of the new 

shipper review (‘‘NSR’’) of wooden 

bedroom furniture (‘‘WBF’’) from the 

People’s Republic of China (‘‘PRC’’) 

covering the period of review (‘‘POR’’) 

January 1, 2011, through June 30, 2011.1

After analyzing the comments submitted 

by parties with respect to Marvin 

Furniture (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. (‘‘Marvin 

Furniture’’), the Department continues 

to find that Marvin Furniture failed to 

satisfy the requirements for an NSR. 

Therefore, the Department is rescinding 

Marvin Furniture’s NSR. 

DATES: Effective Date: April 10, 2012.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On January 10, 2012, the Department 

published the Preliminary Rescission of 

this NSR.2 On February 9, 2012, we 

received case briefs and a request for a 

hearing from Marvin Furniture. On 

February 16, 2012, the Department 

rejected Marvin Furniture’s case brief 

because it contained untimely factual 

information. The Department informed 

Marvin Furniture that it could re-file its 

case brief by February 17, 2012, after 

removing the untimely factual 

information in the brief. On February 

17, 2012, Marvin Furniture re-filed its 

case brief after removing the 

information at issue but protested the 

finding that its case brief contained 

untimely factual information. On 

February 17, 2012, we received rebuttal 

briefs from the American Furniture 

Manufacturers Committee for Legal 

Trade and Vaughan-Basset Furniture 

Company, Inc. (collectively, 

‘‘Petitioners’’). On March 7, 2012, the 

Department held a closed hearing. 

Analysis of the Comments Received 

All issues raised in the case and 

rebuttal briefs submitted by parties in 

this review are addressed in the 

memorandum from Gary Taverman, 

Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for 

Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 

Operations, to Paul Piquado, Assistant 

Secretary for Import Administration, 

‘‘Issues and Decision Memorandum for 

the Final Rescission of the New Shipper 

Review of Wooden Bedroom Furniture 

from the People’s Republic of China for 

Marvin Furniture (Shanghai) Co., Ltd.’’ 

(‘‘I&D Memorandum’’), which is dated 

concurrently with this notice and which 

is hereby adopted by this notice. The 

issue which parties raised, and to which 

we respond, in the I&D Memorandum is 

whether to rescind the NSR for Marvin 

Furniture. The I&D Memorandum is a 

public document and is on file 

electronically via Import 

Administration’s Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Centralized 

Electronic Services System (‘‘IA 

ACCESS’’). Access to IA ACCESS is 

available in the Central Records Unit of 

the main Commerce Building, Room 

7046. In addition, a complete version of 

the I&D Memorandum is accessible on 

the Department’s web site at http://

wooden canopies for beds) and that do not possess 

the essential character of wooden bedroom 

furniture in an unassembled, incomplete, or 

unfinished form. Such parts are usually classified 

under HTSUS subheadings 9403.90.7005, 

9403.90.7010, or 9403.90.7080. 

16Upholstered beds that are completely

2009). Further, as determined in the scope ruling 

memorandum ‘‘Wooden Bedroom Furniture from 

the People’s Republic of China: Scope Ruling on a 

White Toy Box,’’ dated July 6, 2009, the 

dimensional ranges used to identify the toy boxes 

that are excluded from the wooden bedroom 

furniture order apply to the box itself rather than 

the lid. 

18On October 27, 2011, CBP provided 

notification that HTSUS number 9403.90.8041 

should be added to the scope of the order, as certain 

articles under this number may fall within the 

scope. See Memorandum from Patrick O’Connor to

headboards for beds, wooden footboards 

for beds, wooden side rails for beds, and 

wooden canopies for beds may also be 

entered under subheading 9403.50.9042 

or 9403.50.9045 of the HTSUS as ‘‘parts 

of wood.’’ Subject merchandise may 

also be entered under subheadings 

9403.50.9041, 9403.60.8081, 

9403.20.0018, or 9403.90.8041.18

Further, framed glass mirrors may be 

entered under subheading 7009.92.1000

covers all wooden bedroom furniture 

meeting the above description, 

regardless of tariff classification. 

Although the HTSUS subheadings are 

provided for convenience and customs 

purposes, our written description of the 

scope of this proceeding is dispositive. 

Final Rescission of the Antidumping 

New Shipper Review of Marvin 

Furniture 

In the Preliminary Rescission, the 

Department determined to rescind the 

NSR of Marvin Furniture because 

Marvin Furniture’s subject merchandise 

was entered into the United States for 

consumption prior to the POR and it did 

not report this fact to the Department in 

its request for an NSR. The Department 

continues to find that Marvin 

Furniture’s request for an NSR does not 

meet the requirements for an NSR under 

19 CFR 351.214(b)(2)(iv)(A) and (B). 

Specifically, Marvin Furniture’s request 

for an NSR did not contain

documentation establishing the date on 

which its subject merchandise was first 

entered into the United States for 

consumption and the volume of that 

first entry. For further discussion of this 

issue, see the I&D Memorandum. 

Assessment Rates 

Because the Department is rescinding 

Marvin Furniture’s NSR, the assessment 

rate to which Marvin Furniture’s 

shipments will be subject will not be 

affected by this review. The assessment 

rate, however, could change because the 

Department is currently conducting an 

administrative review of the 

antidumping duty order on WBF from 

the PRC covering the period of January 

1, 2011, through December 31, 2011.19

Effective upon publication of this 

notice, the Department will instruct CBP 

to continue to suspend entries during 

the period January 1, 2011, through 

December 31, 2011, of subject 

merchandise exported by Marvin 

Furniture until CBP receives 

instructions relating to the 

administrative review of the WBF order 

covering the period January 1, 2011, 

through December 31, 2011. 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

Effective upon publication of this 

notice of final rescission of the NSR of 

Marvin Furniture, the Department will 

instruct CBP to discontinue the option 

of posting a bond or security in lieu of 

a cash deposit for entries of subject 

merchandise exported by Marvin 

Furniture. Cash deposits will continue 

to be required for exports of subject 

merchandise by Marvin Furniture 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after the 

publication date of this notice at the 

PRC-wide rate, 216.01 percent. 

Notification to Importers 

This notice serves as a final 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. 

Return or Destruction of Proprietary 

Information 

This notice serves as a reminder to 

parties subject to the administrative 

protective order (‘‘APO’’) of their 

responsibility concerning the return or 

destruction of proprietary information 

disclosed under the APO in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3) which 

continues to govern business 

proprietary information in this segment 

of the proceeding. Timely written 

notification of the return or destruction 

of APO materials or conversion to 

judicial protective order is hereby 

requested. Failure to comply with the 

regulations and the terms of an APO is 

a violation which is subject to sanction. 

This notice is issued and published in 

accordance with sections 751(a)(2)(B) 

and 777(i) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 

amended and 19 CFR 351.214(f).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FIPS 186, 

first published in 1994, specified a 

digital signature algorithm (DSA) to 

generate and verify digital signatures. 

Later revisions (FIPS 186–1, FIPS 186– 

2, and FIPS 186–3, adopted in 1998, 

1999 and 2009, respectively) adopted 

two additional algorithms: The Elliptic 

Curve Digital Signature Algorithm 

(ECDSA) and the RSA digital signature 

algorithm. 

NIST is seeking public comment on 

proposed revisions to FIPS 186–3. This 

proposed revision: 

• Clarifies terms used within the 

FIPS; 

• Allows the use of any random bit/ 

number generator that is approved for 

use in FIPS–140-validated modules; 

• Reduces restrictions on the 

retention and use of prime number 

generation seeds for generating RSA key 

pairs; 

• Corrects statements in FIPS 186–3 

regarding the generation of the integer k, 

which is used as a secret number in the 

generation of DSA and ECDSA digital 

signatures; 

• Corrects a typographical error in the 

processing steps of secret number 

generation for ECDSA; 

• Corrects the wording of the criteria 

for generating RSA key pairs; and 

• Aligns the specification for the use 

of a salt with RSASSA–PSS digital 

signatures scheme with Public Key 

Cryptography Standard (PKCS) #1. 

Authority: In accordance with the 

Information Technology Management 

Reform Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104–106) 

and the Federal Information Security 

Management Act of 2002 (FISMA) (Pub. 

L. 107–347), the Secretary of Commerce 

is authorized to approve Federal 

Information Processing Standards 

(FIPS). NIST activities to develop 

computer security standards to protect 

Federal sensitive (unclassified) 

information systems are undertaken 

pursuant to specific responsibilities 

assigned to NIST by section 20 of the 

National Institute of Standards and 

Technology Act (15 U.S.C. 278g–3), as 

amended by section 303 of FISMA.
