## Background

                        On January 4, 2005, the Department published the                         *Order*                         in the                         **Federal Register**                        .  On March 12, 2014, the Department received a request on behalf of Techcraft Manufacturing, Inc. (“Techcraft”) for a changed circumstances review to revoke, in part, the                         *Order*                         with respect to certain wall bed units.[3]                                                  On May 2, 2014, the Department published the                         *Initiation Notice*                         for this changed circumstances review in the                         **Federal Register**                        .[4]                                                  On August 18, 2014, the Department made a preliminary determination that producers accounting for substantially all of the production of the domestic like product lack interest in the relief afforded by the                         *Order*                         with respect to the certain wall bed units described in Techcraft's Request.[5]                                                  We invited interested parties to submit comments in accordance with 19 CFR 351.309(c)(1)(ii). We received no comments.                    

## Final Results of Changed Circumstances Review, and Revocation of the Order, in Part

                        Because no party submitted comments opposing the Department's                         *Preliminary Results,*                         and the record contains no other information or evidence that calls into question the                         *Preliminary Results,*                         the Department determines that there are changed circumstances that warrant revocation of the                         *Order,*                         in part. Specifically, because the producers accounting for substantially all of the production of the domestic like product to which the                         *Order*                         pertains lack interest in the relief provided by the                         *Order*                         with respect to certain wall bed units, we are revoking the                         *Order,*                         in part, with respect to certain wall bed units by including the following language in the scope of the                         *Order:*

                            Also excluded from the scope are certain enclosable wall bed units, also referred to as murphy beds, which are composed of the following three major sections: (1) A metal wall frame, which attaches to the wall and uses coils or pistons to support the metal mattress frame; (2) a metal frame, which has                                   ( print page 64570)                                euro slats for supporting a mattress and two legs that pivot; and (3) wood panels, which attach to the metal wall frame and/or the metal mattress frame to form a cabinet to enclose the wall bed when not in use. Excluded enclosable wall bed units are imported in ready-to-assemble format with all parts necessary for assembly. Enclosable wall bed units do not include a mattress. Wood panels of enclosable wall bed units, when imported separately, remain subject to the order.                        

The scope description below includes this exclusion language.

Excluded enclosable wall bed units are imported in ready-to-assemble format with all parts necessary for assembly. Enclosable wall bed units do not include a mattress. Wood panels of enclosable wall bed units, when imported separately, remain subject to the order.                    

Imports of subject merchandise are classified under subheadings 9403.50.9042 and 9403.50.9045 of the HTSUS as “wooden . . . .beds” and under subheading 9403.50.9080 of the HTSUS as “other . . . . wooden furniture of a kind used in the bedroom.” In addition, wooden 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, or 9403.20.0018.

## Instructions to U.S. Customs and Border Protection
