limits or quotas, capacity restrictions,
and bycatch reduction requirements;
(2) Overfishing of fish stocks shared
by the United States, for which there are
no applicable international conservation
or management measures or in areas
with no applicable international fishery
management organization or agreement,
that has adverse impacts on such stocks;
and
(3) Fishing activity that has an
adverse impact on seamounts,
hydrothermal vents, and cold water
corals located beyond national
jurisdiction, for which there are no
applicable conservation or management
measures or in areas with no applicable
international fishery management
organization or agreement.
Additionally, the Secretary must
identify in the biennial report those
nations whose fishing vessels are
engaged, or have been engaged during
the preceding calendar year, in fishing
activities either (1) in waters beyond
any national jurisdiction that result in
bycatch of a PLMR, or (2) beyond the
U.S. exclusive economic zone (EEZ) that
result in bycatch of a PLMR shared by
the United States. In this context,
PLMRs are defined as non-target fish,
sea turtles, or marine mammals that are
protected under U.S. law or
international agreement, including the
Marine Mammal Protection Act, the
Endangered Species Act, the Shark
Finning Prohibition Act, and the
Convention on International Trade in
Endangered Species of Wild Flora and
Fauna. PLMRs do not include species,
except sharks, managed under the
Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act, the
Atlantic Tunas Convention Act, or any
international fishery management
agreement. (A list of species considered
as PLMRs for this purpose is available
online at: https://www.nmfs.noaa.gov/
msa2007/mrip.htm)
The first biennial report was
submitted to Congress in January 2009
and is available online at https://
www.nmfs.noaa.gov/msa2007/docs/
msralbienniallreportl011309.pdf.
The report identified six nations for IUU
fishing.
The Moratorium Protection Act also
requires the Secretary to establish
procedures to certify whether each
nation identified in the biennial report
is taking appropriate corrective action to
address IUU fishing and/or bycatch of
PLMRs by fishing vessels of that nation.
If a nation does not receive a positive
certification by the Secretary, they could
be subject to sanctions under the High
Seas Driftnet Fisheries Enforcement Act
(Enforcement Act)(16 U.S.C. 1826a). On
January 14, 2009, NMFS published a
VerDate Nov<24>2008
14:45 Mar 04, 2010
Jkt 220001
proposed rule to implement both the
identification and certification
procedures. (That proposed rule is
available online at https://
www.nmfs.noaa.gov/msa2007/docs/
iuulbycatchlrule011409.pdf.)The rule
provides information regarding the
identification process and how the
information solicited here will be used
in that process.
In fulfillment of its requirements
under the Moratorium Protection Act,
NMFS is preparing the second biennial
report to Congress, which will identify
nations whose fishing vessels are
engaged in IUU fishing, or fishing
practices that result in bycatch of
PLMRs. NMFS is soliciting information
from the public that could assist in its
identification of nations engaged in
activities that meet one or more of the
three criteria described above for IUU
fishing or one or more of the two criteria
described above for PLMR bycatch.
Information that may prove useful to
NMFS includes:
• Documentation (photographs, etc.)
of IUU activity or PLMR bycatch;
• Fishing vessel records;
• Reports from off-loading facilities,
port-side government officials,
enforcement agents, military personnel,
port inspectors, transshipment vessel
workers and fish importers;
• Government vessel registries;
• IUU vessel lists from RFMOs;
• RFMO catch documents and
statistical document programs;
• Appropriate certification programs;
and
• Reports from governments,
international organizations, or
nongovernmental organizations.
NMFS will consider all available
information, as appropriate, when
making a determination whether or not
to identify a particular nation in the
biennial report to Congress. NMFS is
particularly interested in information on
IUU fishing activity and bycatch of
PLMRs that occurred during 2009–2010.
NMFS will consider several criteria
when determining whether information
is appropriate for use in making
identifications, including but not
limited to:
• Corroboration of information;
• Whether multiple sources have
been able to provide information in
support of an identification;
• The methodology used to collect
the information;
• Specificity of the information
provided;
• Susceptibility of the information to
falsification and alteration; and
• Credibility of the individuals or
organization providing the information.

Dongguan Huansheng and Wanvog
certified that they are each the exporter
and producer of, and Cadman certified
that it is the exporter of, the subject
merchandise upon which their
respective request for a new shipper
review was based.
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(B)(i)(I) of
the Act and 19 CFR 351.214(b)(2)(i) and
(b)(2)(ii)(A), Dongguan Huansheng,
Cadman, and Wanvog certified that they
did not export wooden bedroom
furniture to the United States during the
period of investigation (‘‘POI’’). Further,
pursuant to 19 CFR 351.214(b)(2)(ii)(B),
Haining Changbei Furniture Co., Ltd.
(‘‘Haining Changbei’’), the producer of
subject merchandise exported by
Cadman, certified that it did not export
subject merchandise to the United
States during the POI. In addition,
pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(B)(i)(II) of
the Act and 19 CFR 351.214(b)(2)(iii)(A),
Dongguan Huansheng, Cadman, and
Wanvog certified that, since the
initiation of the investigation, they have
never been affiliated with any PRC
exporter or producer who exported
wooden bedroom furniture to the
United States during the POI, including
those not individually examined during
the investigation. As required by 19 CFR
351.214(b)(2)(iii)(B), Dongguan
Huansheng, Cadman, and Wanvog, also
certified that their export activities were
not controlled by the central
government of the PRC.
In addition to the certifications
described above, pursuant to 19 CFR
351.214(b)(2)(iv), Dongguan Huansheng,
Cadman, and Wanvog submitted
documentation establishing the
following: (1) the date on which
Dongguan Huansheng, Cadman, and
Wanvog first shipped wooden bedroom
furniture for export to the United States
and the date on which the wooden
bedroom furniture was first entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for

shipments of subject merchandise from
Dongguan Huansheng, Cadman, and
Wanvog had entered the United States
for consumption and that liquidation of
such entries had been properly
suspended for antidumping duties. The
Department also confirmed by
examining CBP data that Dongguan
Huansheng, Cadman, and Wanvogs’

entries were made during the POR as
specified by the Department’s
regulations. See 19 CFR
351.214(g)(1)(i)(B). After examining CBP
data, the Department requested
additional information from Wanvog.
See letter to Wanvog regarding, ‘‘Request
for New Shipper Review of Wooden
Bedroom Furniture from the People’s
Republic of China,’’ dated February 18,
2010. On February 25, 2010, Wanvog
submitted its response to the
Department’s request for additional
information. See Wanvog’s letter
regarding, ‘‘New Shipper Review
Request on Behalf of Wanvog Furniture
(Kunshan) Co., Ltd.: Response to
Supplemental Information Requests,’’
dated February 25, 2010. For a detailed
discussion regarding Wanvog’s CBP
data, see Memorandum to the File

Furniture (Kunshan) Co., Ltd.: Wooden
Bedroom from the People’s Republic of
China (‘‘Wanvog Checklist’’), dated
concurrently with this notice.
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i),
the Department will publish the notice
of initiation of a new shipper review no
later than the last day of the month
following the anniversary month of the
order. As explained in the
memorandum from the Deputy
Assistant Secretary for Import
Administration, the Department has
exercised its discretion to toll deadlines
for the duration of the closure of the
Federal Government from February 5,
through February 12, 2010. Thus, the
deadline for publishing this notice of
initiation has been extended by seven
days. The revised deadline for
publishing this notice is March 8, 2010,
which is the first business day after the
extended deadline. See Memorandum to
the Record from Ronald Lorentzen, DAS
for Import Administration, regarding
‘‘Tolling of Administrative Deadlines As
a Result of the Government Closure
During the Recent Snowstorm,’’ dated
February 12, 2010.
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 Dongguan
Huansheng, Cadman, and Wanvog 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,

Cadman Trading Co., Ltd.: Wooden
Bedroom from the People’s Republic of
China, dated concurrently with this
notice; and Wanvog Checklist.
The POR for the new shipper reviews
of Dongguan Huansheng, Cadman, and
Wanvog is January 1, 2009, through
December 31, 2009. See 19 CFR
351.214(g)(1)(i)(B). 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
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 Dongguan
Huansheng, Cadman, and Wanvog,
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
exports of wooden bedroom furniture.
We will instruct 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
certain entries of the subject
merchandise from Dongguan
Huansheng, Cadman, and Wanvog in
accordance with section 751(a)(2)(B)(iii)
of the Act and 19 CFR 351.214(e).
Because Dongguan Huansheng, and
Wanvog certified that they both produce
and export the subject merchandise, the
sales of which form the basis for their
new shipper review requests, we will
instruct CBP to permit the use of a bond
only for entries of subject merchandise
which the respondent both produced
and exported. Because Cadman certified
that it exported subject merchandise
produced by Haining Changbei, the
sales of which form the basis for
Cadman’s request for a new shipper
review, we will instruct CBP to permit
the use of a bond only for entries of the
subject merchandise produced by
Haining Changbei and exported by
Cadman in accordance with section
751(a)(2)(B)(iii) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.214(e).

Request on Behalf of Wanvog Furniture (Kunshan) Co., Ltd.: Response to
Supplemental Information Requests,'' dated February 25, 2010. For a
detailed discussion regarding Wanvog's CBP data, see Memorandum to the
File through Abdelali Elouaradia, Director, AD/CVD Operations, Office
4: Initiation of AD New Shipper Review of Wanvog Furniture (Kunshan)
Co., Ltd.: Wooden Bedroom from the People's Republic of China (``Wanvog
Checklist''), dated concurrently with this notice.
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i), the Department will publish
the notice of initiation of a new shipper review no later than the last
day of the month following the anniversary month of the order. As
explained in the memorandum from the Deputy Assistant Secretary for
Import Administration, the Department has exercised its discretion to
toll deadlines for the duration of the closure of the Federal
Government from February 5, through February 12, 2010. Thus, the
deadline for publishing this notice of initiation has been extended by
seven days. The revised deadline for publishing this notice is March 8,
2010, which is the first business day after the extended deadline. See
Memorandum to the Record from Ronald Lorentzen, DAS for Import
Administration, regarding ``Tolling of Administrative Deadlines As a
Result of the Government Closure During the Recent Snowstorm,'' dated
February 12, 2010.
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 Dongguan Huansheng, Cadman,
and Wanvog 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 of
Dongguan Huansheng Furniture Co., Ltd.: Wooden Bedroom from the
People's Republic of China, dated concurrently with this notice;
Memorandum to the File through Abdelali Elouaradia, Director, AD/CVD
Operations, Office 4: Initiation of AD New Shipper Review of Hangzhou
Cadman Trading Co., Ltd.: Wooden Bedroom from the People's Republic of
China, dated concurrently with this notice; and Wanvog Checklist.
The POR for the new shipper reviews of Dongguan Huansheng, Cadman,
and Wanvog is January 1, 2009, through December 31, 2009. See 19 CFR
351.214(g)(1)(i)(B). 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 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 Dongguan Huansheng, Cadman, and Wanvog, 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 exports of wooden bedroom furniture.
We will instruct 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 certain entries of the subject merchandise
from Dongguan Huansheng, Cadman, and Wanvog in accordance with section
751(a)(2)(B)(iii) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.214(e). Because Dongguan
Huansheng, and Wanvog certified that they both produce and export the
subject merchandise, the sales of which form the basis for their new
shipper review requests, we will instruct CBP to permit the use of a
bond only for entries of subject merchandise which the respondent both
produced and exported. Because Cadman certified that it exported
subject merchandise produced by Haining Changbei, the sales of which
form the basis for Cadman's request for a new shipper review, we will
instruct CBP to permit the use of a bond only for entries of the
subject merchandise produced by Haining Changbei and exported by Cadman
in accordance with section 751(a)(2)(B)(iii) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.214(e).
Interested parties requiring access to proprietary information in
these new
[[Page 10216]]
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: March 1, 2010.

Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing
Duty Operations.
