(``Preliminary Decision Memorandum'') for a complete description of 
the scope of the Order.
    \3\ See Order, 74 FR at 7661.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Scope of the Anticircumvention Inquiry

    The products covered by this inquiry are innerspring units, as 
described above, that are manufactured in Malaysia by Reztec with PRC-
origin components and other direct materials, such as helical wires, 
and that are subsequently exported from Malaysia to the United States.

Methodology

    The Department has conducted this preliminary determination of 
circumvention in accordance with section 781(b) of the Act and 19 CFR 
351.225(h). For a full description of the methodology underlying our 
conclusions, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. The Preliminary 
Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly on the internet at https://www.trade.gov/ia/ and is on file electronically via Import 
Administration's Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized 
Electronic Service System (``IA ACCESS''). IA ACCESS is available to 
registered users at https://iaaccess.trade.gov and in the Central 
Records Unit, Room 7046 of the main Department of Commerce building. 
The signed Preliminary Decision Memorandum and the electronic version 
of the Preliminary Decision Memorandum are identical in content. The 
Preliminary Decision Memorandum is hereby adopted by this notice.

Preliminary Findings

    As detailed in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum, the Department 
has preliminarily determined, using partial adverse facts available, 
that innerspring units completed and assembled in Malaysia by Reztec 
using components from the PRC and exported from Malaysia to the United 
States are circumventing the Order. Moreover, because Reztec cannot 
distinguish between those innerspring units it is exporting to the 
United States which contain PRC-origin components and those that do 
not, the Department has preliminarily determined that it is appropriate 
to instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (``CBP'') to suspend 
liquidation of all entries of innerspring units from Malaysia produced 
by Reztec as subject to the Order.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See Preliminary Decision Memorandum, at 15.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Suspension of Liquidation

    In accordance with 19 CFR 351.225(l)(2), the Department will direct 
CBP to suspend liquidation and to require a cash deposit of estimated 
duties at the rate applicable to the exporter, on all unliquidated 
entries of innerspring units produced by Reztec that were entered, or 
withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after May 23, 2012, the 
date of initiation of the anticircumvention inquiry.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ Id., at 16.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Should the Department conduct an administrative review in the 
future, and determine in the context of that review that Reztec did not 
produce for export innerspring units using PRC-origin innerspring 
components, the Department will consider initiating a changed 
circumstances review pursuant to section 751(b) of the Act to determine 
if the continued suspension of all innerspring units produced by Reztec 
is warranted.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Republic of China: Affirmative Final Determination of Circumvention 
of the Antidumping Duty Order, 76 FR 47554 (August 5, 2011).

Commission (``ITC'') of this preliminary determination to include the 
merchandise subject to this anticircumvention inquiry within the Order. 
Pursuant to section 781(e) of the Act, the ITC may request 
consultations concerning the Department's proposed inclusion of the 
subject merchandise. If, after consultations, the ITC believes that a 
significant injury issue is presented by the proposed inclusion, it 
will have 15 days to provide written advice to the Department.

Public Comment

Department will establish the case and rebuttal brief schedule at a 
later time and will notify parties of the briefing schedule in
