Accordingly, we intend to revoke, in
part, the Order as to imports of certain
wall bed units. The Department invites
interested parties to comment on these
preliminary results.

Background
On January 4, 2005, the Department
published the Order in the Federal
Register. On March 12, 2014, the
Department received a request on behalf
of Techcraft Manufacturing, Inc.
(‘‘Techcraft’’) for a changed
circumstances review to revoke, in part,
the Order with respect to certain wall
bed units.2 In its request, Techcraft
stated that the American Furniture
Manufacturing Committee for Legal
Trade and Vaughan-Basset Furniture
Company, Inc. (‘‘Petitioners’’) discussed
the scope exclusion described below
and are in agreement with the
revocation, in part. On March 19, 2014,
the Department received a letter from
the Petitioners in which they stated they
were in agreement with the proposed
scope exclusion language in Techcraft’s
March 12, 2014 changed circumstances
review request.3
On May 2, 2014, we published the
Initiation Notice in the Federal Register.
Because the statement submitted by
Petitioners in support of Techcraft’s
Request did not indicate whether
Petitioners account for substantially all
of the domestic wooden bedroom
furniture production, in the Initiation
Notice, we invited interested parties to
submit comments concerning industry
support, as well as comments and/or
factual information regarding the
changed circumstances review. On May
14, 2014, Petitioners submitted
comments stating that they are not
aware of any U.S. domestic producer
that opposes exclusion of the
merchandise defined in Techcraft’s
Request, and that if no interested party
raises an objection to the exclusion, the

Department should issue a
determination excluding certain wall
bed units, as defined in Techcraft’s
Request. On May 16, 2014, Techcraft
submitted comments stating that the
record of the proceeding demonstrates
that there is no longer interest in having
wall bed units that meet the scope
exclusion language provided in the
Initiation Notice covered by the Order.
On June 13, 2014 and July 1, 2014,
Techcraft revised the proposed scope
exclusion language in its original
changed circumstances review request.4
On July 9, 2014, the Department
received a letter from the Petitioners in
which they consented to the revised
scope exclusion language contained in
Techcraft’s July 1, 2014, submission.5

Scope of Changed Circumstances
Review
The products covered by this changed

enclosable wall bed units, also referred
to as murphy beds, which are composed
of the following three major sections: (1)
A metal wall frame, which attaches to
the wall and uses coils or pistons to
support the metal mattress frame; (2) a
metal frame, which has euro slats for
supporting a mattress and two legs that
pivot; and (3) wood panels, which
attach to the metal wall frame and/or
the metal mattress frame to form a
cabinet to enclose the wall bed when
not in use. Excluded enclosable wall
bed units are imported in ready-toassemble format with all parts necessary
for assembly. Enclosable wall bed units
do not include a mattress. Wood panels
of enclosable wall bed units, when
imported separately, remain subject to
the order.

Preliminary Results of Changed
Circumstances Review, and Intent To
Revoke the Order, in Part
Pursuant to section 751(d)(1) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the
‘‘Act’’), and 19 CFR 351.222(g), the
Department may revoke an AD order, in
whole or in part, based on a review
under section 751(b) of the Act (i.e., a
changed circumstances review). Section
751(b)(1) of the Act requires a changed
circumstances review to be conducted
upon receipt of a request which shows
changed circumstances sufficient to
warrant a review. Section 782(h)(2) of
the Act gives the Department the
authority to revoke an order if producers
accounting for substantially all of the
production of the domestic like product
have expressed a lack of interest in the
order. 19 CFR 351.222(g) provides that
the Department will conduct a changed
circumstances review under 19 CFR
351.216, and may revoke an order (in
whole or in part), if it concludes that (i)
producers accounting for substantially
all of the production of the domestic
like product to which the order pertains
have expressed a lack of interest in the
relief provided by the order, in whole or
in part, or (ii) if other changed
circumstances sufficient to warrant
revocation exist. Both the Act and the
Department’s regulations require that
‘‘substantially all’’ domestic producers
express a lack of interest in the order for
the Department to revoke the order, in
whole or in part.21 The Department has
interpreted ‘‘substantially all’’ to
represent producers accounting for at
least 85 percent of U.S. production of
the domestic like product.22
On March 12, 2014, Techcraft
requested that the Department expedite
the changed circumstances review.23
The Department’s regulations do not
specify a deadline for the issuance of
preliminary results of a changed
circumstances review, but provide that
the Department will issue the final
results of review within 270 days after
the date on which the changed
circumstances review is initiated, or
within 45 days if all parties to the
proceeding agree to the outcome of the
review.24 The Department did not issue

a combined notice of initiation and
preliminary results because, as
discussed above, the statement provided
by Petitioners and offered in support of
Techcraft’s Request does not indicate
whether Petitioners account for
substantially all domestic wooden
bedroom furniture production.25 Thus,
the Department did not determine in the
Initiation Notice that producers
accounting for substantially all of the
production of the domestic like product
lacked interest in the continued
application of the Order as to certain
wall bed units. Further, the Department
requested interested party comments on
the issue of domestic industry support
of a partial revocation.26 Because the
Department received no comments
concerning a lack of industry support or
opposing initiation of the changed
circumstances review of the Order, the
Department now preliminarily finds
that producers accounting for
substantially all of the production of the
domestic like product lack interest in
the relief afforded by the Order with
respect to the certain wall bed units
described in Techcraft’s Request. We
request comment from interested parties
on that preliminary finding before
issuing the final results of this review.27
As noted in the Initiation Notice,
Techcraft requested the revocation of
the Order, in part, and supported its
request. In light of Techcraft’s Request
and the interested party comments
received during the comment period, we
preliminarily conclude that changed
circumstances warrant revocation of the
Order, in part, because the producers
accounting for substantially all of the
production of the domestic like product
to which the Order pertains lack interest
in the relief provided by the Order with
respect to the certain wall bed units that
are the subject of Techcraft’s Request.
Accordingly, we are notifying the
public of our intent to revoke the Order,
in part, with respect to certain wall bed
units. We intend to revoke the Order as
to certain wall bed units by including
the following language in the scope of
the Order:
Also excluded from the scope are certain
enclosable wall bed units, also referred to as
murphy beds, which are composed of the

Interested parties are invited to
comment on these preliminary results in
accordance with 19 CFR
351.309(c)(1)(ii). If an interested party is
of the view that certain arguments
continue to be relevant to the
Department’s final results of this review,
that interested party is required to file
a case brief containing all such
arguments, including any such
arguments presented to the Department
before the date of publication of the
preliminary results, pursuant to 19 CFR
351.309(c)(2). Written comments may be
submitted no later than 14 days after the
date of publication of these preliminary
results. Rebuttals to written comments,
limited to issues raised in such
comments, may be filed no later than

on interested parties.28 An
electronically filed document must be
received successfully in its entirety by
IA ACCESS by 5:00 p.m. Eastern

The Department will issue the final
results of this changed circumstances
review, which will include its analysis
of any written comments, no later than
270 days after the date on which this
review was initiated.
If, in the final results of this review,
the Department continues to determine
that changed circumstances warrant the
revocation of the Order, in part, we will

Wooden Bedroom Furniture From the People's Republic of China:
Preliminary Results of Changed Circumstances Review, and Intent To
Revoke Antidumping Duty Order in Part
AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: On March 12, 2014, the Department of Commerce (the
``Department'') received a request for revocation, in part, of the
antidumping duty (``AD'') order on wooden bedroom furniture from the
People's Republic of China (``PRC'') \1\ with respect to certain wall
bed units. We preliminarily determine that the producers accounting for
substantially all of the production of the domestic like product to
which the Order pertains lack interest in the relief provided by the
Order with respect to certain wall bed units described below.
Accordingly, we intend to revoke, in part, the Order as to imports of
certain wall bed units. The Department invites interested parties to
comment on these preliminary results.

Than Fair Value and Antidumping Duty Order: Wooden Bedroom Furniture
From the People's Republic of China, 70 FR 329 (January 4, 2005)

DATES: Effective Date: August 18, 2014.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Erin Kearney or Howard Smith, AD/CVD
Operations, Office IV, Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade
Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and
Constitution Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482-
0167 or (202) 482-5193, respectively.
Background
On January 4, 2005, the Department published the Order in the
Federal Register. On March 12, 2014, the Department received a request
on behalf of Techcraft Manufacturing, Inc. (``Techcraft'') for a
changed circumstances review to revoke, in part, the Order with respect
to certain wall bed units.\2\ In its request, Techcraft stated that the
American Furniture Manufacturing Committee for Legal Trade and Vaughan-
Basset Furniture Company, Inc. (``Petitioners'') discussed the scope
exclusion described below and are in agreement with the revocation, in
part. On March 19, 2014, the Department received a letter from the
Petitioners in which they stated they were in agreement with the
proposed scope exclusion language in Techcraft's March 12, 2014 changed
circumstances review request.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ See Submission from Techcraft, ``Techcraft Manufacturing
Inc. Request for a Changed Circumstance Review,'' dated March 12,
2014 (``Techcraft's Request'').
\3\ See Submission from Petitioners, ``Petitioners' Response to
Techcraft's Letter of March 12, 2014,'' dated March 19, 2014.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On May 2, 2014, we published the Initiation Notice in the Federal
Register. Because the statement submitted by Petitioners in support of
Techcraft's Request did not indicate whether Petitioners account for
substantially all of the domestic wooden bedroom furniture production,
in the Initiation Notice, we invited interested parties to submit
comments concerning industry support, as well as comments and/or
factual information regarding the changed circumstances review. On May
14, 2014, Petitioners submitted comments stating that they are not
aware of any U.S. domestic producer that opposes exclusion of the
merchandise defined in Techcraft's Request, and that if no interested
party raises an objection to the exclusion, the Department should issue
a determination excluding certain wall bed units, as defined in
Techcraft's Request. On May 16, 2014, Techcraft submitted comments
stating that the record of the proceeding demonstrates that there is no
longer interest in having wall bed units that meet the scope exclusion
language provided in the Initiation Notice covered by the Order. On
June 13, 2014 and July 1, 2014, Techcraft revised the proposed scope
exclusion language in its original changed circumstances review
request.\4\ On July 9, 2014, the Department received a letter from the
Petitioners in which they consented to the revised scope exclusion
language contained in Techcraft's July 1, 2014, submission.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ See Submissions from Techcraft, ``Techcraft Manufacturing
Inc., Request for a Changed Circumstance Review,'' dated June 13,
2014; ``Techcraft Manufacturing Inc. Request for Amended Language in
Changed Circumstance Review,'' dated July 1, 2014.

Techcraft's Letter Filed on July 1, 2014,'' dated July 9, 2014.

Laurie Parkhill, Office Director, concerning ``Jewelry Armoires and
Cheval Mirrors in the Antidumping Duty Investigation of Wooden
Bedroom Furniture from the People's Republic of China,'' dated
August 31, 2004. See also Wooden Bedroom Furniture From the People's

which constitutes a jewelry cabinet line with fabric, having
necklace and bracelet hooks, mountings for rings and shelves, with
or without a working lock and key to secure the contents of the
jewelry cabinet back to the cheval mirror, and no drawers anywhere
on the integrated piece. The fully assembled piece must be at least
50 inches in height, 14.5 inches in width, and 3 inches in depth.
See Wooden Bedroom Furniture From the People's Republic of China:
Final Changed Circumstances Review and Determination To Revoke Order
in Part, 72 FR 948 (January 9, 2007).
\18\ Metal furniture parts and unfinished furniture parts made
of wood products (as defined above) that are not otherwise
specifically named in this scope (i.e., wooden headboards for beds,
wooden footboards for beds, wooden side rails for beds, and wooden
canopies for beds) and that do not possess the essential character
of wooden bedroom furniture in an unassembled, incomplete, or
unfinished form. Such parts are usually classified under HTSUS
subheadings 9403.90.7005, 9403.90.7010, or 9403.90.7080.
\19\ Upholstered beds that are completely upholstered, i.e.,
containing filling material and completely covered in sewn genuine
leather, synthetic leather, or natural or synthetic decorative
fabric. To be excluded, the entire bed (headboards, footboards, and
side rails) must be upholstered except for bed feet, which may be of
wood, metal, or any other material and which are no more than nine
inches in height from the floor. See Wooden Bedroom Furniture from
the People's Republic of China: Final Results of Changed
Circumstances Review and Determination to Revoke Order in Part, 72

\20\ To be excluded the toy box must: (1) Be wider than it is
tall; (2) have dimensions within 16 inches to 27 inches in height,

playthings. See Wooden Bedroom Furniture from the People's Republic
of China: Final Results of Changed Circumstances Review and
Determination to Revoke Order in Part, 74 FR 8506 (February 25,
2009). Further, as determined in the scope ruling memorandum
``Wooden Bedroom Furniture from the People's Republic of China:
Scope Ruling on a White Toy Box,'' dated July 6, 2009, the
dimensional ranges used to identify the toy boxes that are excluded
from the wooden bedroom furniture order apply to the box itself
rather than the lid.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Imports of subject merchandise are classified under subheadings
9403.50.9042 and 9403.50.9045 of the HTSUS as ``wooden . . . beds'' and
under subheading 9403.50.9080 of the HTSUS as ``other . . . wooden
furniture of a kind used in the bedroom.'' In addition, wooden
headboards for beds, wooden footboards for beds, wooden side rails for
beds, and wooden canopies for beds may also be entered under subheading
9403.50.9042 or 9403.50.9045 of the HTSUS as ``parts of wood.'' Subject
merchandise may also be entered under subheadings 9403.50.9041,
9403.60.8081, or 9403.20.0018. Further, framed glass mirrors may be
entered under subheading 7009.92.1000 or 7009.92.5000 of the HTSUS as
``glass mirrors . . . framed.'' The order covers all wooden bedroom
furniture meeting the above description, regardless of tariff
classification. Although the HTSUS subheadings are provided for
convenience and customs purposes, our written description of the scope
of this proceeding is dispositive.
Scope of Changed Circumstances Review
The products covered by this changed circumstances review are
certain enclosable wall bed units, also referred to as murphy beds,
which are composed of the following three major sections: (1) A metal
wall frame, which attaches to the wall and uses coils or pistons to
support the metal mattress frame; (2) a metal frame, which has euro
slats for supporting a mattress and two legs that pivot; and (3) wood
panels, which attach to the metal wall frame and/or the metal mattress
frame to form a cabinet to enclose the wall bed when not in use.
Excluded enclosable wall bed units are imported in ready-to-assemble
format with all parts necessary for assembly. Enclosable wall bed units
do not include a mattress. Wood panels of enclosable wall bed units,
when imported separately, remain subject to the order.
[[Page 48729]]
Preliminary Results of Changed Circumstances Review, and Intent To
Revoke the Order, in Part
Pursuant to section 751(d)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended
(the ``Act''), and 19 CFR 351.222(g), the Department may revoke an AD
order, in whole or in part, based on a review under section 751(b) of
the Act (i.e., a changed circumstances review). Section 751(b)(1) of
the Act requires a changed circumstances review to be conducted upon
receipt of a request which shows changed circumstances sufficient to
warrant a review. Section 782(h)(2) of the Act gives the Department the
authority to revoke an order if producers accounting for substantially
all of the production of the domestic like product have expressed a
lack of interest in the order. 19 CFR 351.222(g) provides that the
Department will conduct a changed circumstances review under 19 CFR
351.216, and may revoke an order (in whole or in part), if it concludes
that (i) producers accounting for substantially all of the production
of the domestic like product to which the order pertains have expressed
a lack of interest in the relief provided by the order, in whole or in
part, or (ii) if other changed circumstances sufficient to warrant
revocation exist. Both the Act and the Department's regulations require
that ``substantially all'' domestic producers express a lack of
interest in the order for the Department to revoke the order, in whole
or in part.\21\ The Department has interpreted ``substantially all'' to
represent producers accounting for at least 85 percent of U.S.
production of the domestic like product.\22\

Results of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Changed Circumstances
Reviews; Revocation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Orders,
77 FR 77029 (December 31, 2012).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On March 12, 2014, Techcraft requested that the Department expedite
the changed circumstances review.\23\ The Department's regulations do
not specify a deadline for the issuance of preliminary results of a
changed circumstances review, but provide that the Department will
issue the final results of review within 270 days after the date on
which the changed circumstances review is initiated, or within 45 days
if all parties to the proceeding agree to the outcome of the
review.\24\ The Department did not issue a combined notice of
initiation and preliminary results because, as discussed above, the
statement provided by Petitioners and offered in support of Techcraft's
Request does not indicate whether Petitioners account for substantially
all domestic wooden bedroom furniture production.\25\ Thus, the
Department did not determine in the Initiation Notice that producers
accounting for substantially all of the production of the domestic like
product lacked interest in the continued application of the Order as to
certain wall bed units. Further, the Department requested interested
party comments on the issue of domestic industry support of a partial
revocation.\26\ Because the Department received no comments concerning
a lack of industry support or opposing initiation of the changed
circumstances review of the Order, the Department now preliminarily
finds that producers accounting for substantially all of the production
of the domestic like product lack interest in the relief afforded by
the Order with respect to the certain wall bed units described in
Techcraft's Request. We request comment from interested parties on that
preliminary finding before issuing the final results of this
review.\27\

see also 19 CFR 351.222(g)(1)(v).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
As noted in the Initiation Notice, Techcraft requested the
revocation of the Order, in part, and supported its request. In light
of Techcraft's Request and the interested party comments received
during the comment period, we preliminarily conclude that changed
circumstances warrant revocation of the Order, in part, because the
producers accounting for substantially all of the production of the
domestic like product to which the Order pertains lack interest in the
relief provided by the Order with respect to the certain wall bed units
that are the subject of Techcraft's Request.
Accordingly, we are notifying the public of our intent to revoke
the Order, in part, with respect to certain wall bed units. We intend
to revoke the Order as to certain wall bed units by including the
following language in the scope of the Order:
Also excluded from the scope are certain enclosable wall bed
units, also referred to as murphy beds, which are composed of the
following three major sections: (1) A metal wall frame, which
attaches to the wall and uses coils or pistons to support the metal
mattress frame; (2) a metal frame, which has euro slats for
supporting a mattress and two legs that pivot; and (3) wood panels,
which attach to the metal wall frame and/or the metal mattress frame
to form a cabinet to enclose the wall bed when not in use. Excluded
enclosable wall bed units are imported in ready-to-assemble format
with all parts necessary for assembly. Enclosable wall bed units do
not include a mattress. Wood panels of enclosable wall bed units,
when imported separately, remain subject to the order.
Public Comment
Interested parties are invited to comment on these preliminary
results in accordance with 19 CFR 351.309(c)(1)(ii). If an interested
party is of the view that certain arguments continue to be relevant to
the Department's final results of this review, that interested party is
required to file a case brief containing all such arguments, including
any such arguments presented to the Department before the date of
publication of the preliminary results, pursuant to 19 CFR
351.309(c)(2). Written comments may be submitted no later than 14 days
after the date of publication of these preliminary results. Rebuttals
to written comments, limited to issues raised in such comments, may be
filed no later than seven days after the due date for comments. All
comments are to be filed electronically using Enforcement and
Compliance's Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic
Service System (IA ACCESS) which 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. Comments must also be served
on interested parties.\28\ An electronically filed document must be
received successfully in its entirety by IA ACCESS by 5:00 p.m. Eastern
Standard Time on the day it is due.\29\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\28\ See 19 CFR 351.303(f).
\29\ See 19 CFR 351.310(c).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Department will issue the final results of this changed
circumstances review, which will include its analysis of any written
comments, no later than 270 days after the date on which this review
was initiated.
If, in the final results of this review, the Department continues
to determine that changed circumstances warrant the revocation of the
Order, in part, we will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(``CBP'') to liquidate without regard to antidumping duties, and to
refund any estimated antidumping duties, on all unliquidated entries of
the
[[Page 48730]]
merchandise covered by the revocation that are not covered by the final
results of an administrative review or automatic liquidation.
The current requirement for cash deposits of estimated antidumping
duties on all entries of subject merchandise will continue unless until
they are modified pursuant to the final results of this changed
circumstances review.
These preliminary results of review and notice are in accordance
with sections 751(b) and 777(i) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.221 and 19
CFR 351.222.
