Disclosure 

We will disclose to parties the 

calculations performed within five days 

of the date of public announcement of 

this determination in accordance with 

19 C.F.R. § 351.224(b). 

Continuation of Suspension of 

Liquidation 

In the Preliminary Determination, the 

Department found that critical 

circumstances exist with respect to 

imports of subject merchandise from the 

Fangda Group and the separate rate 

companies but the Department found 

that critical circumstances did not exist 

with respect to Fushun Jinly and the 

PRC–wide entity. As noted above, for 

the final determination, the Department 

has found that critical circumstances 

exist with respect to imports of subject 

merchandise from the Fangda Group, 

the separate rate companies, and the 

PRC–wide entity, including Fushun 

Jinly. Thus, in accordance with section 

735(c)(1)(B) of the Act, we are directing 

U.S. Customs and Border Protection 

(CBP) to continue to suspend 

liquidation of all imports of subject 

merchandise from the Fangda Group 

and the separate rate applicants4

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after May 23, 

2008, which is 90 days prior to the date 

of publication of the Preliminary 

Determination in the Federal Register. 

For the PRC wide entity, including 

Fushun Jinly, we will instruct CBP to 

suspend liquidation of all entries of 

subject merchandise entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after May 23, 2008, 

pursuant to section 735(c)(4)(B) of the 

Act. We will instruct CBP to continue to 

require a cash deposit or the posting of 

a bond for all companies based on the 

estimated weighted–average dumping 

margins shown above. The suspension 

of liquidation instructions will remain 

in effect until further notice. 

ITC Notification 

In accordance with section 735(d) of 

the Act, we have notified ITC of our 

final determination of sales at LTFV. As 

our final determination is affirmative, in 

accordance with section 735(b)(2) of the 

Act, the ITC will determine whether the 

domestic industry in the United States 

is materially injured, or threatened with 

material injury, by reason of imports or 

sales (or the likelihood of sales) for 

importation of the subject merchandise 

within 45 days of this final 

determination. If the ITC determines 

that material injury or threat of material 

injury does not exist, the proceeding 

will be terminated and all securities 

posted will be refunded or canceled. If 

the ITC determines that such injury 

does exist, the Department will issue an 

antidumping duty order directing CBP 

to assess, upon further instruction by 

the Department, antidumping duties on 

all imports of the subject merchandise 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after the effective 

date of the suspension of liquidation. 

Notification Regarding APO 

This notice also serves as a reminder 

to the parties subject to administrative 

protective order (APO) of their 

responsibility concerning the 

disposition of proprietary information 

disclosed under APO in accordance 

with 19 C.F.R. § 351.305. Timely 

notification of 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 

sanctionable violation. This 

determination and notice are issued and 

published in accordance with sections 

735(d) and 777(i)(1) of the Act. 

Dated: January 5, 2009.

for Legal Trade and Vaughan-Bassett Furniture 

Company, Inc. 

SUMMARY: On October 10, 2008, the 

United States Court of International 

Trade (‘‘CIT’’) sustained the Department 

of Commerce’s (‘‘Department’’) final 

results of redetermination pursuant to 

the Department’s voluntary remand, 

wherein the Department granted 

separate–rate status to Macau Youcheng 

Trading Co./Zhongshan Youcheng 

Wooden Arts & Crafts Co., Ltd. 

(collectively ‘‘Youcheng’’).1 The period 

of review (‘‘POR’’) is June 24, 2004, 

through December 31, 2005. As there is 

now a final and conclusive court 

decision in this case, the Department is 

amending the final results of the first 

administrative review of wooden 

bedroom furniture (‘‘WBF’’) from the 

People’s Republic of China (‘‘PRC’’), to 

reflect this determination pursuant to a 

request by the Department for the CIT to 

grant a remand in this case. See

Duty Administrative Review and New

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August 

22, 2007, the Department published its 

final results in the first administrative 

review of the antidumping duty order 

on WBF from the PRC covering the 

period June 24, 2004, through December 

31, 2005, and on November 7, 2007, it 

published its amended final results.2

See Amended Final Results and 2nd 

Amended Final Results, respectively. In 

the Amended Final Results, Youcheng 

was denied a separate rate, because it 

failed to demonstrate that it made a sale 

of subject merchandise during the POR, 

a determination which remained 

unchanged in the 2nd Amended Final 

Results. 

On September 4, 2007, Youcheng 

filed a summons and complaint with the 

CIT challenging the Department’s denial 

of a separate rate to Youcheng. On June 

19, 2008, the Department requested a 

voluntary remand so that the 

Department could further analyze the 

record, explain its decision, and take 

such action as may be appropriate 

pertaining to the denial of separate–rate 

status to Youcheng. On June 20, 2008, 

the CIT granted the Department’s 

voluntary remand motion. On August 

22, 2008, we issued our draft 

redetermination to interested parties for 

comment. On September 12, 2008, 

Petitioners3 and Youcheng provided 

comments on the Department’s draft 

redetermination results. 

On October 3, 2008, the Department 

filed with the CIT its final results of 

redetermination pursuant to Youcheng 

v. United States, granting Youcheng a 

separate rate. On October 10, 2008, the 

CIT sustained the final results of 

redetermination on remand. On 

November 13, 2008, the Department 

notified the public that the final 

judgment in this case is not in harmony 

with the Amended Final Results and the 

2nd Amended Final Results. See 

Wooden Bedroom Furniture from the 

People’s Republic of China: Notice of 

Court Decision Not in Harmony With 

Final Results of Administrative Review, 

73 FR 67133 (November 13, 2008). The 

deadline to appeal the redetermination 

pursuant to remand was December 9, 

2008, 60 days after the date the CIT 

sustained the final results of 

redetermination on remand (i.e., 

October 10, 2008). The time period for 

appealing the CIT’s decision has expired 

and no party has appealed the CIT’s 

decision to the Court of Appeals for the 

Federal Circuit. Because there is now a 

final and conclusive court decision in 

this case, the Department is amending 

the final results with respect to 

Youcheng. 

Amended Final Results of Review 

The remand redetermination 

explained that, in accordance with the 

CIT’s instructions, the Department 

analyzed the record and determined to 

grant separate–rate status to Youcheng. 

Based on this reconsideration, 

Youcheng’s status changed from an 

entity considered as part of the PRC– 

wide entity, and subject to the PRC– 

wide rate, to an entity eligible for 

separate–rate status and having a 

separate rate. Therefore, we are 

amending the final results for 

Youcheng, a company that was not 

selected for individual review. 

Accordingly, we are applying to 

Youcheng a dumping margin equal to 

the weighted average of the calculated 

rates for the companies selected for 

individual review, as detailed below, for 

the period June 24, 2004, through 

December 31, 2005. 

WBF FROM THE PRC 

Separate–Rate Applicant Exporter 1st Administrative Review Margin (Percent) 

Macau Youcheng Trading Co./Zhongshan Youcheng Wooden Arts & Crafts Co., Ltd. ........................................... 35.78 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

Pursuant to the final court decision, 

the following cash deposit rate will be 

effective upon publication of these 

amended final results, for all shipments 

of subject merchandise exported by 

Youcheng entered or withdrawn from 

warehouse, for consumption on or after 

publication date of this notice. A 35.78 

percent cash deposit will be required for 

subject merchandise exported by 

Youcheng. Youcheng’s cash deposit rate 

will remain in effect until further notice. 

Assessment 

The Department has determined, and 

U.S. Customs and Border Protection 

(‘‘CBP’’) shall assess, antidumping 

duties on all appropriate entries covered 

by this amended final results, pursuant 

to the final court decision. The 

Department intends to issue assessment 


sroberts on PROD1PC70 with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 9 / Wednesday, January 14, 2009 / Notices 2057 

instructions to CBP 15 days after the 

publication date of these amended final 

results, pursuant to the final court 

decision. In accordance with 19 CFR 

351.212(b)(1), for Youcheng, a company 

that was not selected for individual 

review, the assessment rate is based on 

the weighted average of the cash deposit 

rates calculated for the companies 

selected for individual review pursuant 

to section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Tariff Act 

of 1930, as amended (‘‘Act’’). For further 

details, see the Amended Final Results 

and the 2nd Amended Final Results. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

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. 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.402(f)(3), failure 

to comply with this requirement could 

result in the Secretary’s presumption 

that reimbursement of antidumping 

duties occurred and the subsequent 

assessment of doubled antidumping 

duties. 

This notice also serves as a reminder 

to parties subject to administrative 

protective order (‘‘APO’’) of their 

responsibility concerning the 

disposition of proprietary information 

disclosed under APO, in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.305 and as explained 

in the APO itself. 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 the terms of an APO is a 

sanctionable violation. 

This notice is issued and published in 

accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 

777(i) of the Act. 

Dated: January 7, 2009.

International Trade Administration 

Mission Statement; Jordan and Egypt 

Business Development Mission; 

February 14–19, 2009 

AGENCY: Department of Commerce. 

ACTION: Notice. 

Mission Description 

The United States Department of 

Commerce, International Trade 

Administration, U.S. and Foreign 

Commercial Service is organizing a 

trade mission to Amman, Jordan and 

Cairo, Egypt, February 14–19, 2009. The 

mission will include representatives 

from U.S. firms offering equipment and 

services in a variety of industry sectors, 

including, but not limited to, the 

following: Aerospace, automotive parts, 

construction, education and training, 

energy and power generation, 

environmental, food processing, 

franchising, hotel and restaurant, 

medical, oil and gas field machinery, 

packaging, petrochemical, 

pharmaceutical, port development, 

railroad, real estate development, 

security, telecommunications, and water 

and wastewater treatment. All U.S. 

companies are eligible to apply. 

Commercial Setting 

Jordan 

Jordan continues to take steps to 

transform itself into an outwardoriented, internationally competitive 

market-based economy, and has made 

considerable progress toward achieving 

macroeconomic stability and in 

implementing economic reform, 

especially in the areas of privatization 

and investment. Key reforms have been 

undertaken in the information 

technology, pharmaceuticals, tourism, 

and services sectors. Foreign and 

domestic investment laws grant specific 

incentives to industry, agriculture, 

hotels, hospitals, transportation, 

recreation projects, convention centers, 

and pipeline distribution of water, gas, 

and oil. Having worked closely with the 

International Monetary Fund and 

practiced careful monetary policy, 

Jordan now stands out in its region as 

a model of sound investor-friendly 

economic policy. 

Jordan’s government liberalized its 

trade regime to guarantee its 

membership in the World Trade 

Organization (April 2000), and the U.S.- 

Jordan Free Trade Agreement (FTA), 

which entered into enforcement 

December 2001, will eliminate virtually 

all trade barriers between the two 

countries over a period of 10 years, 

heightening advantages for U.S. 

exporters as tariff rates fall year-by-year. 

Jordan and the United States have also 

concluded a treaty to protect bilateral 

investment. 

The Jordanian market has enjoyed two 

years of gross domestic product (GDP) 

growth averaging 7 percent and is 

expected to see continued expansion. 

Reforms to customs, taxation, and 

investment laws have improved the 

business climate. Investors continue to 

show interest in Jordan’s Qualifying 

Industrial Zones (QIZs), duty-free export 

portals that, since 1999, have attracted 

over $450 million in capital investments 

and created more than 55,000 new jobs, 

of which about 15,000 are held by 

Jordanians—57 percent by Jordanian 

women. Jordanian imports from the 

United States reached $857 million in 

2007, a 31.8 percent increase over the 

previous year. Important market 

opportunities exist for U.S. firms in a 

variety of sectors, and there are niche 

markets for pharmaceuticals, laboratory 

equipment, real estate management 

services, and renewable energy, among 

others. 

Egypt 

At 78.8 million, Egypt is by far the 

largest Arab country by population and 

has a reasonably well-educated labor 

force. Egypt’s economy, traditionally 

associated with agriculture, has become 

increasingly diversified. While tourism 

is its single largest foreign exchange 

earner, Egypt is also a major oil and gas 

producer, ranking among the world’s 

top ten gas exporters. The clothing and 

textile sector is the largest industrial 

employer and a major foreign exchange 

earner. Other leading industries include 

steel, cement, chemicals, 

pharmaceuticals, and light consumer 

goods. Agriculture, although shrinking 

as a percentage of GDP, still employs 

almost 30 percent of the population. 

Egypt’s economy has improved 

considerably since 2005, due mainly to 

a new reformist government that has 

successfully floated the Egyptian pound, 

eliminated foreign exchange shortages 

along with the black market, reduced 

tariffs and simplified the tariff structure, 

moved to reform the financial sector, 

introduced measures to simplify the tax 

structure while lowering rates, and 

reduced the red tape necessary to 

conduct business. Supported by 

sustained reforms, Egypt’s economy 

marked a year of impressive 

performance in 2007, receiving record 

foreign investment (FDI), along with 

official reserves exceeding $30 billion. 

The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) grew 

by 7.1 percent, and is expected to 

expand at a similar rate in 2008. Most 

of the FDI has gone into construction 

and manufacturing, resulting in lower 

unemployment. The government has 

also inked agreements with China, 

Jordan, Russia, Turkey and Qatar to 

construct industrial zones. Receipts 

from the Suez Canal and tourism 

brought in more than $11 billion in the 

first three quarters of last year. The 

Egyptian stock market has been one of 

the best performers in the region. 

Egypt’s government is putting in place 

an institutional framework for privatepublic partnerships (PPPs). PPP projects
