jlentini on DSKJ8SOYB1PROD with NOTICES
POR, the specified POR may be
extended unless it would be likely to
prevent the completion of the review
within the time limits set by the
Department’s regulations. See 19 CFR
351.214(f)(2)(ii). Additionally, the
preamble to the Department’s
regulations states that both the entry
and the sale should occur during the
POR, and that under ‘‘appropriate’’
circumstances the Department has the
flexibility to extend the POR. See
Antidumping Duties; Countervailing
Duties; Final Rule, 62 FR 27296, 27319–
27320 (May 19, 1997). In this instance,
Rise Furniture’s sale of subject
merchandise was made during the POR
specified by the Department’s
regulations but the shipment entered
within thirty days after the end of that
POR. The Department finds that
extending the POR to capture this entry
would not prevent the completion of the
review within the time limits set by the
Department’s regulations. Therefore, the
Department has extended the POR for
the new shipper review of Rise
Furniture by thirty days. See
Memorandum to the File through
Abdelali Elouaradia, Director, AD/CVD
Operations, Office 4: New Shipper
Review of Wooden Bedroom Furniture,
Placing CBP data on the record, dated
concurrently with this notice.
Initiation of New Shipper Reviews
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(B) of the
Act and 19 CFR 351.214(d)(1), the
Department finds that Rise Furniture
and Zhejiang Tianyi meet the threshold
requirements for initiation of new
shipper reviews of their shipments of
wooden bedroom furniture from the
PRC. See Memorandum to the File
through Abdelali Elouaradia, Director,
AD/CVD Operations, Office 4: Initiation
of AD New Shipper Review: Wooden
Bedroom from the People’s Republic of
China, and the attached New Shipper
Initiation Checklists, dated concurrently
with this notice.
The POR for the new shipper review
of Zhejiang Tianyi is January 1, 2009,
through June 30, 2009. See 19 CFR
351.214(g)(1)(i)(B). As discussed above,
the POR for the new shipper review of
Rise Furniture is January 1, 2009,
through July 30, 2009. The Department
intends to issue the preliminary results
of these reviews no later than 180 days
from the date of initiation, and the final
results of these reviews no later than
270 days from the date of initiation. See
section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act.
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
VerDate Nov<24>2008
17:05 Aug 25, 2009
Jkt 217001
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 Rise Furniture
and Zhejiang Tianyi, which will include
a separate rate section. The review of
each exporter will proceed if the
response provides sufficient indication
that the exporter is not subject to either
de jure or de facto government control
with respect to its export of wooden
bedroom furniture.
We will instruct the CBP to allow, at
the option of the importer, the posting,
until the completion of the review, of a
bond or security in lieu of a cash
deposit for each entry of the subject
merchandise from Rise Furniture and
Zhejiang Tianyi in accordance with
section 751(a)(2)(B)(iii) of the Act and
19 CFR 351.214(e). Because Rise
Furniture and Zhejiang Tianyi certified
that they both produce and export the
subject merchandise, the sale of which
is the basis for these new shipper review
requests, we will apply the bonding
privilege to each respondent only for
subject merchandise which the
respondent both produced and
exported.
Interested parties requiring access to
proprietary information in these new
shipper reviews should submit
applications for disclosure under
administrative protective order in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.305 and
351.306.
This initiation and notice are
published in accordance with section
751(a)(2)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.214 and 351.221(c)(1)(i).
Dated: August 20, 2009.

Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Operations.
