possible revocation, in part, of the 

antidumping duty (‘‘AD’’) order on 

wooden bedroom furniture from the 

People’s Republic of China (‘‘PRC’’) 

with respect to jewelry armoires that 

have at least one front door. 

DATES: Effective April 2, 2015.

FR 329 (January 4, 2005). On February 

13, 2015, Pier 1, an importer of the 

subject merchandise, requested 

revocation, in part, of the AD order 

pursuant to section 751(b)(1) of the 

Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘the

to certain jewelry armoires with at least 

one front door. The scope of the order 

currently excludes certain jewelry 

armoires with at least one side door but 

does not exclude jewelry armoires with 

at least one front door. Pier 1 proposes 

adding the phrase ‘‘or at least one front 

door’’ to the existing exclusion for 

jewelry armoires. On March 11, 2015, 

the American Furniture Manufacturers 

Committee for Legal Trade and 

Vaughan-Bassett Furniture Company,

storing clothes. Bedroom armoires may also be used 

to hold television receivers and/or other audiovisual entertainment systems. 

11As used herein, bentwood means solid wood 

made pliable. Bentwood is wood that is brought to 

a curved shape by bending it while made pliable 

with moist heat or other agency and then set by

with a height in excess of 50 inches that is mounted 

on a floor-standing, hinged base. Additionally, the

is an integrated piece consisting of a cheval mirror, 

i.e., a framed tiltable mirror with a height in excess

base, the cheval mirror serving as a door to a 

cabinet back that is integral to the structure of the 

mirror and which constitutes a jewelry cabinet line 

with fabric, having necklace and bracelet hooks, 

mountings for rings and shelves, with or without a 

working lock and key to secure the contents of the 

jewelry cabinet back to the cheval mirror, and no

footboards for beds, wooden side rails for beds, and 

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. 

15Upholstered beds that are completely

synthetic leather, or natural or synthetic decorative 

fabric. To be excluded, the entire bed (headboards, 

footboards, and side rails) must be upholstered 

except for bed feet, which may be of wood, metal, 

or any other material and which are no more than 

nine inches in height from the floor. See Wooden 

Bedroom Furniture from the People’s Republic of

playthings. See Wooden Bedroom Furniture from 

the People’s Republic of China: Final Results of 

Changed Circumstances Review and Determination 

to Revoke Order in Part, 74 FR 8506 (February 25, 

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

AD order on wooden bedroom furniture 

from the PRC.19

Section 782(h)(2) of the Act and 19 

CFR 351.222(g)(1)(i) provide that the 

Department may revoke an order (in 

whole or in part) if it determines that 

producers accounting for substantially 

all of the production of the domestic 

like product have expressed a lack of 

interest in the order, in whole or in part. 

In addition, in the event the Department 

determines that expedited action is 

warranted, 19 CFR 351.221(c)(3)(ii) 

permits the Department to combine the 

notices of initiation and preliminary 

results. In its administrative practice, 

the Department has interpreted 

‘‘substantially all’’ to mean producers 

accounting for at least 85 percent of the 

total U.S. production of the domestic 

like product covered by the order.20

Petitioners state that they agree with the 

exclusion request, however, because 

Petitioners did not indicate whether 

they account for substantially all of the 

domestic production of wooden 

bedroom furniture, we are providing 

interested parties with the opportunity 

to address the issue of domestic 

industry support with respect to this 

proposed partial revocation of the order, 

and we are not combining this notice of 

initiation with a preliminary 

determination pursuant to 19 CFR 

351.221(c)(3)(ii). As explained below, 

this notice of initiation will afford all 

interested parties an opportunity to 

address the proposed partial revocation. 

Public Comment 

Interested parties are invited to 

provide comments and/or factual 

information regarding this changed 

circumstances review, including 

comments concerning industry support. 

Comments and factual information may 

be submitted to the Department no later

publication of this notice. Rebuttal 

comments and rebuttal factual 

information may be filed with the

the comments and/or factual 

information are filed.21 All submissions

The Department will issue the

circumstances review, in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.221(c)(3), which will 

set forth the factual and legal 

conclusions upon which the 

preliminary results are based, and a
