Wooden Bedroom Furniture from the People's Republic of China: 
Amended Final Results of the January 1, 2007, through July 31, 2007, 
New Shipper Reviews

AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.

SUMMARY: On October 31, 2008, the Department of Commerce 
(``Department'') published in the Federal Register the final results of 
the fourth new shipper reviews of the antidumping duty order on wooden 
bedroom furniture from the People's Republic of China (``PRC''). See 
Wooden Bedroom Furniture from the People's Republic of China: Final 
Results of Fourth New Shipper Reviews, 73 FR 64916 (October 31, 2008) 
(``Final Results'') and accompanying Issues and Decision Memorandum. 
The period of review is January 1, 2007, through July 31, 2007. We are 
amending our Final Results to correct ministerial errors made in the 
calculation of the antidumping duty margin for Dongguan Mu Si Furniture 
Co., Ltd. (``Mu Si''), pursuant to section 751(h) of the Tariff Act of 
1930, as amended (``the Act'').

EFFECTIVE DATE: March 4, 2009.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Paul Stolz, 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On November 10, 2008, American Furniture Manufacturers Committee 
for Legal Trade and Vaughan-Basset Furniture Company, Inc. 
(collectively ``Petitioners''), and Mu Si submitted ministerial error 
allegations with respect to the final results of the fourth new shipper 
reviews of wooden bedroom furniture from the PRC. Petitioners and Mu Si 
made ministerial error allegations only with respect to Mu Si's margin 
calculations. No interested party submitted rebuttal comments.

Ministerial Errors

    A ministerial error is defined in section 751(h) of the Act and 
further clarified in 19 CFR 351.224(f) as ``an error in addition, 
subtraction, or other arithmetic function, clerical error resulting 
from inaccurate copying, duplication, or the like, and any other 
similar type of unintentional error which the Secretary considers 
ministerial.''
    After analyzing all interested parties' comments, we have 
determined, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(e), that ministerial 
errors existed in certain calculations for Mu Si in the Final Results. 
Correction of these errors results in a change to Mu Si's final 
antidumping duty margin. The dumping margins for Donguan Bon Ten 
Furniture Co., Ltd. and the PRC-wide entity remain unchanged. For a 
detailed discussion of these ministerial errors, as well as the 
Department's analysis, see the Memorandum entitled: Ministerial Error 
Memorandum for the Amended Final Results of 2007 New Shipper Reviews of 
Wooden Bedroom Furniture from the People's Republic of China, dated 
February 19, 2009, (``Ministerial Error Allegation Memorandum''). The 
Ministerial Error Allegation Memorandum is on file in the Central 
Records Unit, room 1117 in the main Department building.
    Therefore, in accordance with section 751(h) of the Act and 19 CFR 
351.224(e), we are amending the Final Results of the new shipper 
reviews of wooden bedroom furniture from the PRC. The revised weighted-
average dumping margin is detailed below. For Mu Si-specific 
calculations, see ``Analysis Memorandum for the Amended Final Results 
for Mu Si,'' dated February 19, 2009. Listed below is the revised 
weighted average dumping margin resulting from these amended final 
results:

Disclosure

    We will disclose the calculations performed for these amended final 
results within five days of the date of publication of this notice to 
interested parties in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).

Assessment Rate

    The Department will determine, and U.S. Customs and Border 
Protection (``CBP'') shall assess, antidumping duties on all 
appropriate entries based on the amended final results. For details on 
the assessment of antidumping duties on all appropriate entries, see 
Final Results.
    The Department intends to issue appropriate assessment instructions 
directly to CBP 15 days after the date of publication of these amended 
final results of the new shipper review.

Cash Deposit Requirements

    The following cash deposit requirements will be effective 
retroactively on any entries made on or after October 31, 2008, the 
date of publication of the Final Results, for all shipments of the 
subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for 
consumption on or after the publication date, as provided for by 
section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) for the exporters listed above, 
the cash deposit rate will be the rate shown for this company (except 
if the rate is de minimis, i.e., less than 0.5 percent, a zero cash 
deposit will be required for that company); (2) for previously 
investigated or reviewed PRC and non-PRC exporters not listed above 
that have separate rates, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the 
exporter-specific rate published for the most recent period; (3) for 
all PRC exporters of subject merchandise which have not been found to 
be entitled to a separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be the PRC-
wide rate of 216.01 percent; and (4) for all non-PRC exporters of 
subject merchandise which have not received their own rate, the cash 
deposit rate will be the rate applicable to the PRC exporters that 
supplied that non-PRC exporter. These deposit requirements shall remain 
in effect until further notice.
