Notice of Final Determination of Sales
at Less Than Fair Value in the
investigation of wooden bedroom
furniture from the People’s Republic of
China (‘‘PRC’’) (‘‘Final Determination’’).
See Final Determination and
corresponding ‘‘Issues and Decision
Memorandum’’ dated November 8,
2004. Between November 12, 2004, and
November 22, 2004, the following
parties filed timely allegations that the
Department made various ministerial
errors in the Final Determination:
Superwood Company Limited; Shanghai
SMEC Corporation; follows: Dongguan
Chunsan Wood Products Co., Ltd.;
Trendex Industries Limited; the
American Furniture Manufacturers
Committee for Legal Trade and its
individual members and the Cabinet
Makers, Millmen, and Industrial
Carpenters Local 721, UBC Southern
Council of Industrial Worker’s Local
Union 2305, United Steel Workers of
American Local 193U, Carpenters
Industrial Union Local 2093, and
Teamsters, Chauffeurs, Warehousemen
and Helper Local 991 (collectively
‘‘Petitioners’’); Rui Feng Woodwork Co.,
Ltd., Rui Feng Lumber Development
Co., Ltd., and Dorbest Limited
(‘‘Dorbest’’); Lacquer Craft Mfg. Co., Ltd.
(‘‘Lacquer Craft’’); Dongguan Lung Dong
Furniture Co., Ltd., and Dongguan Dong
He Furniture Co., Ltd., (‘‘Lung Dong’’);
and Shing Mark Enterprise Co., Ltd.,
Carven Industries Limited (BVI), Carven
Industries Limited (HK), Dongguan
Zhenxin Furniture Co., Ltd., and
Dongguan Yongpeng Furniture Co., Ltd.
(‘‘Shing Mark’’); Hongyu Furniture
(Shenzhen) Limited (‘‘Hongyu’’);
American Signature, Inc., and Value
City Furniture (‘‘ASI/VCF’’) and Pulaski
Furniture Corp. (‘‘Pulaski’’) with respect
to ministerial errors in the calculation of
the margin for their supplier, Dorbest.
On November 29, 2004, Petitioners
filed comments rebutting the interested
parties’ ministerial-error allegations. On
the same day, Lacquer Craft, Lung Dong,
Shing Mark, and Starcorp Furniture
(Shanghai) Co., Ltd., Orin Furniture
(Shanghai) Co., Ltd., and Shanghai
Starcorp Furniture Co., Ltd.
(‘‘Starcorp’’), filed comments rebutting
the Petitioners ministerial-error
allegations. Further, on November 29,
2004, Petitioners submitted a letter
requesting the Department to strike from
the record Exhibit 12 and any references
to this Exhibit in Shing Mark’s
November 22, 2004, ministerial-error
submission because it contains new
untimely factual information. On
November 30, 2004, Shing Mark filed a
letter stating the Department should
reject Petitioners’ request to strike

certain information because the
information is not new or untimely.
Also, on November 30, 2004, Petitioners
filed a letter requesting the Department
to strike from the record Starcorp’s
November 29, 2004, submission as
untimely filed ministerial- error
comments. On December 1, 2004,
Starcorp filed a letter stating that its
letter was both timely and appropriate.
On December 6, 2004, Petitioners filed
a letter requesting the Department to
strike from the record portions of Lung
Dong’s November 29, 2004, rebuttal
comments because it allegedly
contained untimely raised ministerialerror allegations. On December 10, 2004,
we returned Lung Dong’s and Starcorp’s
November 29, 2004, submissions
because they contained untimely
ministerial-error allegations. Lung Dong
submitted an amended version of its
November 29, 2004, submission on
December 14, 2004.
After analyzing all interested parties
comments and rebuttal comments, we
have determined, in accordance with 19
CFR 351.224(e), that we made
ministerial errors in the calculations we
performed for the final determination.
For a detailed discussion of these
ministerial errors, and our analysis, see
the ‘‘Amended Issues and Decision
Memorandum’’ dated December 27,
2004, and the company specific
amended final determination analysis
memoranda dated December 27, 2004.
Additionally, in the Final
Determination, we determined that
several companies qualified for
separate-rate status. The margin we
calculated in the Final Determination
for these companies was 8.64 percent.
Because the rates of the selected
mandatory respondents have changed
since the Final Determination, we have
recalculated the rate for the nonmandatory respondents which the
Department determined to be entitled to
separate rate. The rate for Section A
respondents is now 6.65%. See
Memorandum to the File from Eugene
Degnan, Amended Calculation of
Section A Rate, dated December 27,
2004.
Therefore, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.224(e), we are amending the final
determination of sales at LTFV in the
antidumping duty investigation of
wooden bedroom furniture from the
PRC. The revised weighted-average
dumping margins are in the
‘‘Antidumping Duty Order’’ section,
below.
Antidumping Duty Order
On December 23, 2004, in accordance
with section 735(d) of the Act, the
International Trade Commission (‘‘ITC’’)
E:\FR\FM\04JAN1.SGM
04JAN1
330
Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 2 / Tuesday, January 4, 2005 / Notices
notified the Department of its final
determination pursuant to section
735(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Act that an
industry in the United States is
materially injured by reason of lessthan-fair-value imports of subject
merchandise from the PRC. Therefore,
in accordance with section 736(a)(1) of
the Act, the Department will direct U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’)
to assess, upon further instruction by
the Department, antidumping duties
equal to the amount by which the
normal value of the merchandise
exceeds the export price of the
merchandise for all relevant entries of
wooden bedroom furniture from the
PRC. With the exception of wooden
bedroom furniture produced and
exported by Markor International
Furniture (Tianjin) Manufacturing
Company, Ltd. (a company excluded
from this order), these antidumping
duties will be assessed on all
unliquidated entries of wooden
bedroom furniture from the PRC
entered, or withdrawn from the
warehouse, for consumption on or after
June 24, 2004, the date on which the
Department published its Notice of
Preliminary Determination of Sales at
Less Than Fair Value and Postponement
of Final Determination: Wooden
Bedroom Furniture from the People’s
Republic of China, 69 FR 35312 (June
24, 2004) (‘‘Preliminary
Determination’’).
Section 733(d) of the Act states that
instructions issued pursuant to an
affirmative preliminary determination
may not remain in effect for more than
four months except where exporters
representing a significant proportion of
exports of the subject merchandise
request the Department to extend that
four-month period to no more than six
months. At the request of exporters that
account for a significant proportion of
wooden bedroom furniture, we
extended the four-month period to no
more than six months. See Preliminary
Determination. In this investigation, the
six-month period beginning on the date
of the publication of the preliminary
determination ends on December 21,
2004. Furthermore, section 737 of the
Act states that definitive duties are to
begin on the date of publication of the
ITC’s final injury determination.
Therefore, in accordance with section
733(d) of the Act and our practice, we
will instruct CBP to terminate the
suspension of liquidation and to
liquidate, without regard to
antidumping duties, unliquidated
entries of wooden bedroom furniture
from the PRC entered, or withdrawn
from warehouse, for consumption on or
after December 21, 2004, and before the
date of publication of the ITC ’s final
injury determination in the Federal
Register. Suspension of liquidation will
continue on or after this date.
On or after the date of publication of
the ITC’s notice of final determination
in the Federal Register, CBP will
require, at the same time as importers
would normally deposit estimated
duties on this merchandise, a cash
deposit equal to the estimated weightedaverage antidumping duty margins as
listed below. The ‘‘PRC-wide’’ rate
applies to all exporters of subject
merchandise not listed specifically. The
weighted-average dumping margins are
as follows:

* In the Final Determination, the Department inadvertently listed Tech Lane Wood Mfg. and Kee Jia Wood Mfg. separately in the weighted-average dumping margin chart, which may have led parties to conclude that these companies were entitled to a separate rate. This, in fact, is not
the case. Subject merchandise produced/exported by Tech Lane Wood Mfg. and Kee Jia Wood Mfg. is subject to the PRC-wide rate.
This notice constitutes the
antidumping duty order with respect to

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Sections 101(a)(5)(A) and (D) of the
MMPA (16 U.S.C. 1361 et seq.) direct
the Secretary of Commerce to allow,
upon request, the incidental, but not
intentional, taking of small numbers of
marine mammals by U.S. citizens who
engage in a specified activity (other than
commercial fishing) within a specified
geographical region if certain findings
are made and either regulations are
issued or, if the taking is limited to
harassment, notice of a proposed
authorization is provided to the public
for review.
Permission may be granted if NMFS
finds that the taking will have no more
than a negligible impact on the species
or stock(s) and will not have an
unmitigable adverse impact on the
availability of the species or stock(s) for
subsistence uses and that the
permissible methods of taking and
requirements pertaining to the
monitoring and reporting of such taking
are set forth. NMFS has defined
‘‘negligible impact’’ in 50 CFR 216.103
as: ‘‘an impact resulting from the
specified activity that cannot be
reasonably expected to, and is not
reasonably likely to, adversely affect the
species or stock through effects on
annual rates of recruitment or survival.’’
Subsection 101(a)(5)(D) of the MMPA
established an expedited process by
which citizens of the United States can
apply for an authorization to
incidentally take small numbers of
marine mammals by harassment. Except
for certain categories of actions not
pertinent here, the MMPA defines
‘‘harassment’’ as:
any act of pursuit, torment, or annoyance
which (i) has the potential to injure a marine
mammal or marine mammal stock in the wild
[Level A harassment]; or (ii) has the potential
to disturb a marine mammal or marine
mammal stock in the wild by causing
disruption of behavioral patterns, including,
but not limited to, migration, breathing,
nursing, breeding, feeding, or sheltering
[Level B harassment].
Subsection 101(a)(5)(D) establishes a
45–day time limit for NMFS review of
an application followed by a 30–day
public notice and comment period on
any proposed authorizations for the
incidental harassment of small numbers
of marine mammals. Within 45 days of
the close of the comment period, NMFS
must either issue or deny issuance of
the authorization.

Notice of Amended Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair
Value and Antidumping Duty Order: Wooden Bedroom Furniture From the
People's Republic of China
AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration,
Department ofCommerce.
EFFECTIVE DATE: January 4, 2005.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Aishe Allen, Import Administration,

Amendment to Final Determination
In accordance with sections 735(d) and 777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act
of 1930, as amended, (``the Act''), on November 17, 2004, the
Department of Commerce (``the Department'') published the Notice of
Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value in the
investigation of wooden bedroom furniture from the People's Republic of
China (``PRC'') (``Final Determination''). See Final Determination and
corresponding ``Issues and Decision Memorandum'' dated November 8,
2004. Between November 12, 2004, and November 22, 2004, the following
parties filed timely allegations that the Department made various
ministerial errors in the Final Determination: Superwood Company
Limited; Shanghai SMEC Corporation; follows: Dongguan Chunsan Wood
Products Co., Ltd.; Trendex Industries Limited; the American Furniture
Manufacturers Committee for Legal Trade and its individual members and
the Cabinet Makers, Millmen, and Industrial Carpenters Local 721, UBC
Southern Council of Industrial Worker's Local Union 2305, United Steel
Workers of American Local 193U, Carpenters Industrial Union Local 2093,
and Teamsters, Chauffeurs, Warehousemen and Helper Local 991
(collectively ``Petitioners''); Rui Feng Woodwork Co., Ltd., Rui Feng
Lumber Development Co., Ltd., and Dorbest Limited (``Dorbest'');
Lacquer Craft Mfg. Co., Ltd. (``Lacquer Craft''); Dongguan Lung Dong
Furniture Co., Ltd., and Dongguan Dong He Furniture Co., Ltd., (``Lung
Dong''); and Shing Mark Enterprise Co., Ltd., Carven Industries Limited
(BVI), Carven Industries Limited (HK), Dongguan Zhenxin Furniture Co.,
Ltd., and Dongguan Yongpeng Furniture Co., Ltd. (``Shing Mark'');
Hongyu Furniture (Shenzhen) Limited (``Hongyu''); American Signature,
Inc., and Value City Furniture (``ASI/VCF'') and Pulaski Furniture
Corp. (``Pulaski'') with respect to ministerial errors in the
calculation of the margin for their supplier, Dorbest.
On November 29, 2004, Petitioners filed comments rebutting the
interested parties' ministerial-error allegations. On the same day,
Lacquer Craft, Lung Dong, Shing Mark, and Starcorp Furniture (Shanghai)
Co., Ltd., Orin Furniture (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., and Shanghai Starcorp
Furniture Co., Ltd. (``Starcorp''), filed comments rebutting the
Petitioners ministerial-error allegations. Further, on November 29,
2004, Petitioners submitted a letter requesting the Department to
strike from the record Exhibit 12 and any references to this Exhibit in
Shing Mark's November 22, 2004, ministerial-error submission because it
contains new untimely factual information. On November 30, 2004, Shing
Mark filed a letter stating the Department should reject Petitioners'
request to strike certain information because the information is not
new or untimely. Also, on November 30, 2004, Petitioners filed a letter
requesting the Department to strike from the record Starcorp's November
29, 2004, submission as untimely filed ministerial- error comments. On
December 1, 2004, Starcorp filed a letter stating that its letter was
both timely and appropriate. On December 6, 2004, Petitioners filed a
letter requesting the Department to strike from the record portions of
Lung Dong's November 29, 2004, rebuttal comments because it allegedly
contained untimely raised ministerial-error allegations. On December
10, 2004, we returned Lung Dong's and Starcorp's November 29, 2004,
submissions because they contained untimely ministerial-error
allegations. Lung Dong submitted an amended version of its November 29,
2004, submission on December 14, 2004.
After analyzing all interested parties comments and rebuttal
comments, we have determined, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(e),
that we made ministerial errors in the calculations we performed for
the final determination. For a detailed discussion of these ministerial
errors, and our analysis, see the ``Amended Issues and Decision
Memorandum'' dated December 27, 2004, and the company specific amended
final determination analysis memoranda dated December 27, 2004.
Additionally, in the Final Determination, we determined that
several companies qualified for separate-rate status. The margin we
calculated in the Final Determination for these companies was 8.64
percent. Because the rates of the selected mandatory respondents have
changed since the Final Determination, we have recalculated the rate
for the non-mandatory respondents which the Department determined to be
entitled to separate rate. The rate for Section A respondents is now
6.65%. See Memorandum to the File from Eugene Degnan, Amended
Calculation of Section A Rate, dated December 27, 2004.
Therefore, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(e), we are amending
the final determination of sales at LTFV in the antidumping duty
investigation of wooden bedroom furniture from the PRC. The revised
weighted-average dumping margins are in the ``Antidumping Duty Order''
section, below.
Antidumping Duty Order
On December 23, 2004, in accordance with section 735(d) of the Act,
the International Trade Commission (``ITC'')
[[Page 330]]
notified the Department of its final determination pursuant to section
735(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Act that an industry in the United States is
materially injured by reason of less-than-fair-value imports of subject
merchandise from the PRC. Therefore, in accordance with section
736(a)(1) of the Act, the Department will direct U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (``CBP'') to assess, upon further instruction by the
Department, antidumping duties equal to the amount by which the normal
value of the merchandise exceeds the export price of the merchandise
for all relevant entries of wooden bedroom furniture from the PRC. With
the exception of wooden bedroom furniture produced and exported by
Markor International Furniture (Tianjin) Manufacturing Company, Ltd. (a
company excluded from this order), these antidumping duties will be
assessed on all unliquidated entries of wooden bedroom furniture from
the PRC entered, or withdrawn from the warehouse, for consumption on or
after June 24, 2004, the date on which the Department published its
Notice of Preliminary Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value
and Postponement of Final Determination: Wooden Bedroom Furniture from
the People's Republic of China, 69 FR 35312 (June 24, 2004)
(``Preliminary Determination'').
Section 733(d) of the Act states that instructions issued pursuant
to an affirmative preliminary determination may not remain in effect
for more than four months except where exporters representing a
significant proportion of exports of the subject merchandise request
the Department to extend that four-month period to no more than six
months. At the request of exporters that account for a significant
proportion of wooden bedroom furniture, we extended the four-month
period to no more than six months. See Preliminary Determination. In
this investigation, the six-month period beginning on the date of the
publication of the preliminary determination ends on December 21, 2004.
Furthermore, section 737 of the Act states that definitive duties are
to begin on the date of publication of the ITC's final injury
determination. Therefore, in accordance with section 733(d) of the Act
and our practice, we will instruct CBP to terminate the suspension of
liquidation and to liquidate, without regard to antidumping duties,
unliquidated entries of wooden bedroom furniture from the PRC entered,
or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after December 21,
2004, and before the date of publication of the ITC 's final injury
determination in the Federal Register. Suspension of liquidation will
continue on or after this date.
On or after the date of publication of the ITC's notice of final
determination in the Federal Register, CBP will require, at the same
time as importers would normally deposit estimated duties on this
merchandise, a cash deposit equal to the estimated weighted-average
antidumping duty margins as listed below. The ``PRC-wide'' rate applies
to all exporters of subject merchandise not listed specifically. The
weighted-average dumping margins are as follows:

* In the Final Determination, the Department inadvertently listed Tech
Lane Wood Mfg. and Kee Jia Wood Mfg. separately in the weighted-
average dumping margin chart, which may have led parties to conclude
that these companies were entitled to a separate rate. This, in fact,
is not the case. Subject merchandise produced/exported by Tech Lane
Wood Mfg. and Kee Jia Wood Mfg. is subject to the PRC-wide rate.
This notice constitutes the antidumping duty order with respect to
wooden bedroom furniture from the PRC pursuant to section 735(a) of the
Act. Interested parties may contact the Department's Central Records
Unit, Room B-099 of the main Commerce building, for copies of an

subheadings are provided for convenience and customs purposes, the
written description of the scope of this proceeding is dispositive.
Continuation of Suspension of Liquidation
In accordance with section 735(c)(1)(B) of the Act, we will
instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (``CBP'') to continue to
suspend liquidation of all entries of subject merchandise from the PRC
(except for entries of Markor International Furniture (Tianjin)
Manufacture Co., Ltd. (``Markor Tianjin'') because this company has a
de minimis margin). We will also instruct CBP to require cash deposit
or the posting of a bond equal to the estimated amount by which the
normal value exceeds the U.S. price as indicated in the chart above.
These instructions suspending liquidation will remain in effect until
further notice.
This order is published in accordance with section 736(a) of the
Act and 19 CFR 351.211.
