liquidate without regard to antidumping
duties any entries for which the
assessment rate is de minimis (i.e., less
than 0.50 percent).
The Department clarified its
‘‘automatic assessment’’ regulation on
May 6, 2003. See Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Proceedings:
Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68
FR 23954 (May 6, 2003). This
clarification will apply to entries of
subject merchandise during the POR
produced by the respondent for which
it did not know its merchandise was
destined for the United States. In such
instances, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate unreviewed entries at the all–
others rate if there is no rate for the
intermediate company(ies) involved in
the transaction. For a full discussion of
this clarification, see Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Proceedings:
Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68
FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).
For those companies for which this
review is rescinded, antidumping duties
shall be assessed at rates equal to the
cash deposit of estimated antidumping
duties required at the time of entry, or
withdrawal from warehouse, for
consumption, in accordance with 19
CFR 351.212(c)(1)(i). For the companies
requesting a review, but not selected for
examination and calculation of
individual rates, we will calculate a
weighted–average assessment rate based
on all importer–specific assessment
rates excluding any which are de
minimis or margins determined entirely
on adverse facts available. See Softwood
Lumber Final Results, at 70 FR 73442.
The Department will issue appraisement
instructions directly to CBP.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following deposit requirements
will be effective upon completion of the
final results of this administrative
review for all shipments of SSB from
India entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after
the publication date of the final results
of this administrative review, as
provided by section 751(a)(1) of the Act:
1) the cash deposit rate for the reviewed
company will be the rate established in
the final results of this administrative
review (except no cash deposit will be
required if its weighted–average margin
is de minimis, i.e., less than 0.5
percent); 2) for the non–selected
companies we will calculate a
weighted–average cash deposit rate
based on all the company–specific cash
deposit rates, excluding de minimis
margins or margins determined entirely
on adverse facts available; 3) if the
exporter is not a firm covered in this
review, the previous review, or the

original investigation, but the
manufacturer is, the cash deposit rate
will be the rate established for the most
recent period for the manufacturer of
the merchandise; and 4) if neither the
exporter nor the manufacturer is a firm
covered in this or any previous reviews,
the cash deposit rate will be 12.45
percent, the ‘‘all others’’ rate established
in the LTFV investigation. See Notice of
Final Determination of Sales at Less
Than Fair Value: Stainless Steel Bar
from India, 59 FR 66915 (December 28,
1994).
Notification to Importers
This notice also serves as a
preliminary 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 during this
review period. Failure to comply with
this requirement could result in the
Secretary’s presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties
occurred and the subsequent assessment
of double antidumping duties.
We are issuing and publishing these
results of review in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the
Act.
Dated: February 23, 2007.

EFFECTIVE DATE: March 7, 2007.
SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce
(the ‘‘Department’’) received timely
requests to conduct new shipper
reviews of the antidumping duty order
on wooden bedroom furniture from the
People’s Republic of China (‘‘PRC’’). In
accordance with 19 CFR 351.214(d)(1),
we are initiating new shipper reviews
for Golden Well International (HK), Ltd.
(‘‘Golden Well’’) and its supplier
Zhangzhou XYM Furniture Product Co.,
Ltd. (Zhangzhou XYM), and for Mei Jia
Ju Furniture Industrial (Shenzhen) Co.,
Ltd. (‘‘Mei Jia’’).

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
The
Department received timely requests
from Golden Well and Mei Jia on
January 24 and 22, 2007 respectively,
pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(B) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘the
Act’’), and in accordance with 19 CFR
351.214(c), for new shipper reviews of
the antidumping duty order on wooden
bedroom furniture from the PRC. See
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, 70 FR 329 (January
4, 2005). Although Mei Jia submitted a
timely request, on February 7, 2007, the
Department rejected Mei Jia’s request
due to improper filing. However,
because Mei Jia originally filed its
request on January 22, 2007, but the
request was not rejected by the
Department until February 7, 2007, the
Department allowed Mei Jia to refile its
request by February 21, 2007. See the
letter from the Department to Mei Jia
dated February 7, 2007. On February 16,
2007, Mei Jia re–submitted its request
for a new shipper review.
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.214(b)(2)(i),
19 CFR 351.214(b)(2)(ii), 19 CFR
351.214(b)(2)(iii)(A), and 19 CFR
351.214(b)(2)(iii)(B), in their requests for
new shipper reviews, Golden Well (as
an exporter), Zhangzhou XYM, and Mei
Jia (as a producing exporter) certified
that they did not export wooden
bedroom furniture to the United States
during the period of investigation
(‘‘POI’’); that since the initiation of the
investigation they have never been
affiliated with any company that
exported subject merchandise to the
United States during the POI; and that
their export activities were not
controlled by the central government of
the PRC.
In accordance with 19 CFR
351.214(b)(2)(iv), Golden Well and Mei
Jia submitted documentation
establishing the following: (1) The date
on which they first shipped wooden
bedroom furniture for export to the
United States; (2) the volume of their
first shipment; and (3) the date of their
first sale to an unaffiliated customer in
the United States.

Initiation of New Shipper Review
In accordance with section
751(a)(2)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.214(d)(1), and based on information
on the record, we find that Golden Well
and Mei Jia’s requests meet the
initiation threshold requirements and
we are initiating new shipper reviews
for shipments of wooden bedroom
furniture exported by Golden Well that
were produced by Zhangzhou XYM and
shipments of wooden bedroom furniture
produced and exported by Mei Jia. See
Memorandum to the File through
Wendy J. Frankel, Director, New
Shipper Initiation Checklist, dated,
February 28, 2007. The Department will
conduct these new shipper reviews
according to the deadlines set forth in
section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act.
Pursuant to 19 CFR
351.214(g)(1)(i)(A), the period of review
(‘‘POR’’) for a new shipper review,
initiated in the month immediately
following the anniversary month, will
be the twelve-month period
immediately preceding the anniversary
month. Therefore, the POR for the new
shipper reviews of Golden Well and Mei
Jia will be January 1 through December
31, 2006.
It is the Department’s usual practice,
in cases involving non–market
economies, to require that a company
seeking to establish eligibility for an
antidumping duty rate separate from the
country–wide rate provide evidence of
de jure and de facto absence of
government control over the company’s
export activities. Accordingly, we will
issue questionnaires to Golden Well and
Mei Jia, including a separate–rate
section. The reviews will proceed if the
responses provide sufficient indication
that Golden Well and Mei Jia are not
subject to either de jure or de facto
government control with respect to their
exports of wooden bedroom furniture.
However, if either Golden Well or Mei
Jia does not demonstrate its eligibility
for a separate rate, it will be deemed not
separate from other companies that
exported during the POI, and its new
shipper review will be rescinded.
On August 17, 2006, the Pension
Protection Act of 2006 (H.R. 4) was
signed into law. Section 1632 of H.R. 4
temporarily suspends the authority of
the Department to instruct U.S. Customs
and Border Protection to collect a bond
or other security in lieu of a cash
deposit in new shipper reviews.
Therefore, the posting of a bond or other
security under section 751(a)(2)(B)(iii)
of the Act in lieu of a cash deposit is
not available in this case. Importers of
wooden bedroom furniture 1) produced
by Zhangzhou XYM and exported by
Golden Well, or 2) produced and
exported by Mei Jia must continue to
post cash deposits of estimated
antidumping duties on each entry of
subject merchandise (i.e., wooden
bedroom furniture) at the PRC–wide
entity rate of 198.08 percent.
Interested parties that need access to
proprietary information in this new
shipper review should submit
applications for disclosure under
administrative protective order in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.305 and
351.306.
This initiation and notice are issued
in accordance with section 751(a)(2)(B)
of the Act and 19 CFR 351.214 and
351.221(c)(1)(i).
Dated: February 28, 2007.
