SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Each year during the anniversary 

month of the publication of an 

antidumping or countervailing duty 

order, finding, or suspended 

investigation, an interested party, as 

defined in section 771(9) of the Tariff 

Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘the Act’’), 

may request, in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.213, that the Department of 

Commerce (‘‘the Department’’) conduct 

an administrative review of that 

antidumping or countervailing duty 

order, finding, or suspended 

investigation. 

All deadlines for the submission of 

comments or actions by the Department 

discussed below refer to the number of 

calendar days from the applicable 

starting date. 

Respondent Selection 

In the event the Department limits the 

number of respondents for individual 

examination for administrative reviews 

initiated pursuant to requests made for 

the orders identified below, the 

Department intends to select 

respondents based on U.S. Customs and 

Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’) data for U.S. 

imports during the period of review. We 

intend to release the CBP data under 

Administrative Protective Order 

(‘‘APO’’) to all parties having an APO 

within five days of publication of the 

initiation notice and to make our 

decision regarding respondent selection 

within 21 days of publication of the 

initiation Federal Register notice. 

Therefore, we encourage all parties 

interested in commenting on respondent 

selection to submit their APO 

applications on the date of publication 

of the initiation notice, or as soon 

thereafter as possible. The Department 

invites comments regarding the CBP 

data and respondent selection within 

five days of placement of the CBP data 

on the record of the review. 

If the Department limits the number 

of respondents selected for individual 

examination in the administrative 

review of the antidumping duty order 

on Wooden Bedroom Furniture from the 

People’s Republic of China (A–570– 

890), it intends to select respondents 

based on volume data contained in 

responses to quantity and value 

questionnaires. Further, due to the 

unique circumstances present in 

administering this order, for the 

purposes of this segment of the 

proceeding, i.e., the 2013 review period, 

the Department has decided to require 

that all parties filing separate rate 

applications or certifications respond to 

the Q&V questionnaire and certain 

additional questions. The Q&V 

questionnaire, the additional questions, 

and the Separate Rate Application and 

Separate Rate Certification will be 

included in a document package that 

will be available on the Department’s 

Web site. Responses to the additional 

questions and to the Separate Rate 

Application and Separate Rate 

Certification are due unless otherwise 

noted by the Department. 

In the event the Department decides 

it is necessary to limit individual 

examination of respondents and

1Or the next business day, if the deadline falls 

on a weekend, federal holiday or any other day 

when the Department is closed. 

conduct respondent selection under 

section 777A(c)(2) of the Act: 

In general, the Department finds that 

determinations concerning whether 

particular companies should be 

‘‘collapsed’’ (i.e., treated as a single 

entity for purposes of calculating 

antidumping duty rates) require a 

substantial amount of detailed 

information and analysis, which often 

require follow-up questions and 

analysis. Accordingly, the Department 

will not conduct collapsing analyses at 

the respondent selection phase of this 

review and will not collapse companies 

at the respondent selection phase unless 

there has been a determination to 

collapse certain companies in a 

previous segment of this antidumping 

proceeding (i.e., investigation, 

administrative review, new shipper 

review or changed circumstances 

review). For any company subject to this 

review, if the Department determined, 

or continued to treat, that company as 

collapsed with others, the Department 

will assume that such companies 

continue to operate in the same manner 

and will collapse them for respondent 

selection purposes. Otherwise, the 

Department will not collapse companies 

for purposes of respondent selection. 

Parties are requested to (a) identify 

which companies subject to review 

previously were collapsed, and (b) 

provide a citation to the proceeding in 

which they were collapsed. Further, if 

companies are requested to complete 

the Quantity and Value Questionnaire 

for purposes of respondent selection, in 

general each company must report 

volume and value data separately for 

itself. Parties should not include data 

for any other party, even if they believe 

they should be treated as a single entity 

with that other party. If a company was 

collapsed with another company or 

companies in the most recently 

completed segment of this proceeding 

where the Department considered 

collapsing that entity, complete quantity 

and value data for that collapsed entity 

must be submitted. 

Deadline for Withdrawal of Request for 

Administrative Review 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), a 

party that requests a review may 

withdraw that request within 90 days of 

the date of publication of the notice of 

initiation of the requested review. The 

regulation provides that the Department 

may extend this time if it is reasonable 

to do so. In order to provide parties 

additional certainty with respect to 

when the Department will exercise its 

discretion to extend this 90-day 

deadline, interested parties are advised 

that, with regard to reviews requested 

on the basis of anniversary months on 

or after January 2015, the Department 

does not intend to extend the 90-day 

deadline unless the requestor 

demonstrates that an extraordinary 

circumstance prevented it from 

submitting a timely withdrawal request. 

Determinations by the Department to 

extend the 90-day deadline will be 

made on a case-by-case basis. 

The Department is providing this 

notice on its Web site, as well as in its 

‘‘Opportunity to Request Administrative 

Review’’ notices, so that interested 

parties will be aware of the manner in 

which the Department intends to 

exercise its discretion in the future. 

Opportunity to Request a Review: Not 

later than the last day of January 2015,1

interested parties may request 

administrative review of the following 

orders, findings, or suspended 

investigations, with anniversary dates in 

January for the following periods:

In accordance with 19 CFR 

351.213(b), an interested party as 

defined by section 771(9) of the Act may 

request in writing that the Secretary 

conduct an administrative review. For 

both antidumping and countervailing 

duty reviews, the interested party must 

specify the individual producers or 

exporters covered by an antidumping 

finding or an antidumping or 

countervailing duty order or suspension 

agreement for which it is requesting a 

review. In addition, a domestic 

interested party or an interested party 

described in section 771(9)(B) of the Act 

must state why it desires the Secretary 

to review those particular producers or 

exporters. If the interested party intends 

for the Secretary to review sales of 

merchandise by an exporter (or a 

producer if that producer also exports 

merchandise from other suppliers) 

which was produced in more than one 

country of origin and each country of 

origin is subject to a separate order, then 

the interested party must state 

specifically, on an order-by-order basis, 

which exporter(s) the request is 

intended to cover.

2See also the Enforcement and Compliance Web 

site at http://trade.gov/enforcement/. 

3 In accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(b)(1), parties 

should specify that they are requesting a review of 

entries from exporters comprising the entity, and to 

the extent possible, include the names of such 

exporters in their request. 

4See Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 

Proceedings: Electronic Filing Procedures; 

Administrative Protective Order Procedures, 76 FR 

39263 (July 6, 2011). 

Note that, for any party the 

Department was unable to locate in 

prior segments, the Department will not 

accept a request for an administrative 

review of that party absent new 

information as to the party’s location. 

Moreover, if the interested party who 

files a request for review is unable to 

locate the producer or exporter for 

which it requested the review, the 

interested party must provide an 

explanation of the attempts it made to 

locate the producer or exporter at the 

same time it files its request for review, 

in order for the Secretary to determine 

if the interested party’s attempts were 

reasonable, pursuant to 19 CFR 

351.303(f)(3)(ii). 

As explained in Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Proceedings: 

Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 

FR 23954 (May 6, 2003), and NonMarket Economy Antidumping 

Proceedings: Assessment of 

Antidumping Duties, 76 FR 65694 

(October 24, 2011) the Department 

clarified its practice with respect to the 

collection of final antidumping duties 

on imports of merchandise where 

intermediate firms are involved. The 

public should be aware of this 

clarification in determining whether to 

request an administrative review of 

merchandise subject to antidumping 

findings and orders.2

Further, as explained in Antidumping 

Proceedings: Announcement of Change 

in Department Practice for Respondent 

Selection in Antidumping Duty 

Proceedings and Conditional Review of 

the Nonmarket Economy Entity in NME 

Antidumping Duty Proceedings, 78 FR 

65963 (November 4, 2013), the 

Department clarified its practice with 

regard to the conditional review of the 

non-market economy (NME) entity in 

administrative reviews of antidumping 

duty orders. The Department will no 

longer consider the NME entity as an 

exporter conditionally subject to 

administrative reviews. Accordingly, 

the NME entity will not be under review 

unless the Department specifically 

receives a request for, or self-initiates, a 

review of the NME entity.3 In 

administrative reviews of antidumping 

duty orders on merchandise from NME 

countries where a review of the NME 

entity has not been initiated, but where 

an individual exporter for which a 

review was initiated does not qualify for 

a separate rate, the Department will 

issue a final decision indicating that the 

company in question is part of the NME 

entity. However, in that situation, 

because no review of the NME entity 

was conducted, the NME entity’s entries 

were not subject to the review and the 

rate for the NME entity is not subject to 

change as a result of that review 

(although the rate for the individual 

exporter may change as a function of the 

finding that the exporter is part of the 

NME entity). 

Following initiation of an 

antidumping administrative review 

when there is no review requested of the 

NME entity, the Department will 

instruct CBP to liquidate entries for all 

exporters not named in the initiation 

notice, including those that were 

suspended at the NME entity rate. 

All requests must be filed 

electronically in Enforcement and 

Compliance’s Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Centralized 

Electronic Service System (‘‘IA 

ACCESS’’) on the IA ACCESS Web site 

at http://iaaccess.trade.gov.4 Further, in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.303(f)(l)(i), 

a copy of each request must be served 

on the petitioner and each exporter or 

producer specified in the request. 

The Department will publish in the 

Federal Register a notice of ‘‘Initiation 

of Administrative Review of 

Antidumping or Countervailing Duty 

Order, Finding, or Suspended 

Investigation’’ for requests received by 

the last day of January 2015. If the 

Department does not receive, by the last 

day of January 2015, a request for 

review of entries covered by an order, 

finding, or suspended investigation 

listed in this notice and for the period 

identified above, the Department will 

instruct CBP to assess antidumping or 

countervailing duties on those entries at 

a rate equal to the cash deposit of (or 

bond for) estimated antidumping or 

countervailing duties required on those 

entries at the time of entry, or 

withdrawal from warehouse, for 

consumption and to continue to collect 

the cash deposit previously ordered. 

For the first administrative review of 

any order, there will be no assessment 

of antidumping or countervailing duties 

on entries of subject merchandise 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption during the relevant 

provisional-measures ‘‘gap’’ period of 

the order, if such a gap period is 

applicable to the period of review. 

This notice is not required by statute 

but is published as a service to the 

international trading community.
