Rescission of the Antidumping New Shipper Review

    For the reasons explained in the Issues and Decision Memorandum, 
Commerce continues to find that the sale made by Sunbeauty is not a 
bona fide sale for purposes of the antidumping duty law. Commerce 
reached this conclusion based on the totality of the evidence, 
including, among other things, the sales price and quantity. Because 
Sunbeauty made no bona fide sales during the period of review (POR), we 
are rescinding the NSR.

Assessment Rates

    As Commerce is rescinding this NSR, Sunbeauty's status with respect 
to the antidumping duty order on mattresses from the People's Republic 
of China (China) remains unchanged. Sunbeauty remains part of the 
China-wide entity and, accordingly, entries of its subject merchandise 
into the United States during the POR will be assessed at the China-
wide rate.

Cash Deposit Requirements

    Because we are rescinding this NSR, we are not determining a 
company-specific cash deposit rate for Sunbeauty. Sunbeauty continues 
to be part of the China-wide entity and is, therefore, subject to the 
China-wide entity cash deposit rate of 1,731.75 percent.\6\

Administrative Protective Order

    This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to an 
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information 
disclosed under an APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305, 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 
terms of an APO is a violation which is subject to sanction.
    We are issuing and publishing this rescission in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(2)(B) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: June 7, 2021.
Christian Marsh,
Acting Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
