period of review (POR) is August 1,
2012, through July 31, 2013.
We invited interested parties to
comment on the Preliminary Results.
We received no comments on our
Preliminary Results. The final weightedaverage dumping margins for the
companies subject to this administrative
review are listed below in the ‘‘Final
Results of Review’’ section of this
notice.
The Department conducted this
administrative review in accordance
with section 751 of the Tariff Act of
1930, as amended (the Act).
Scope of the Order
The merchandise subject to the
antidumping duty order is PRCBs,
which may be referred to as t-shirt
sacks, merchandise bags, grocery bags,
or checkout bags. The subject
merchandise is defined as non-sealable
sacks and bags with handles (including
drawstrings), without zippers or integral
extruded closures, with or without
gussets, with or without printing, of
polyethylene film having a thickness no
greater than 0.035 inch (0.889 mm) and
no less than 0.00035 inch (0.00889 mm),
and with no length or width shorter
than 6 inches (15.24 cm) or longer than
40 inches (101.6 cm). The depth of the
bag may be shorter than 6 inches but not
longer than 40 inches (101.6 cm).
PRCBs are typically provided without
any consumer packaging and free of
charge by retail establishments, e.g.,
grocery, drug, convenience, department,
specialty retail, discount stores, and
restaurants, to their customers to
package and carry their purchased
products. The scope of the order
excludes (1) polyethylene bags that are
not printed with logos or store names
and that are closeable with drawstrings
made of polyethylene film and (2)
polyethylene bags that are packed in
consumer packaging with printing that
refers to specific end-uses other than
packaging and carrying merchandise
from retail establishments, e.g., garbage
bags, lawn bags, trash-can liners.
As a result of changes to the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTSUS), imports of the
subject merchandise are currently
classifiable under statistical category
3923.21.0085 of the HTSUS.
Furthermore, although the HTSUS
subheading is provided for convenience
and customs purposes, the written
description of the scope of the order is
dispositive.
Final Results of Review
Because no party commented on our
Preliminary Results, we made no
changes to these final results. As a result

Assessment Rates
In accordance section 751(a)(2)(C) of
the Act, we will instruct U.S. Customs
and Border Protection (CBP) to assess
antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries covered by this review at the
rates listed above.
For these final results we continue to
rely on adverse facts available to
establish Beyond Packaging’s weightedaverage dumping margin, and will
instruct CBP to apply an ad valorem
assessment rate of 122.88 percent to all
entries of subject merchandise during
the POR which were produced and/or
exported by Beyond Packaging.
We intend to issue liquidation
instructions to CBP 15 days after
publication of these final results of
review.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following deposit requirements
will be effective upon publication of
these final results of administrative
review for all shipments of PRCBs from
Thailand entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after
the date of publication, as provided by
section 751(a)(2) of the Act: (1) The cash
deposit rates for the reviewed
companies will be equal to the
weighted-average dumping margins
established in these final results of this
review; (2) for merchandise exported by
manufacturers or exporters not covered
in this review but covered in a prior
segment of the proceeding, the cash
deposit rate will continue to be the
company-specific rate published for the
most recently completed segment of this
proceeding; (3) if the exporter is not a
firm covered in this review, a prior
review, or the less-than-fair-value
investigation but the manufacturer is,
the cash deposit rate will be the rate
established for the most recently
completed segment of this proceeding
for the manufacturer of the
merchandise; (4) if neither the exporter

Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 169 / Tuesday, September 2, 2014 / Notices
nor the manufacturer has its own rate,
the cash deposit rate will be 4.69
percent.2 These deposit requirements,
when imposed, shall remain in effect
until further notice.
Notifications
This notice serves as a final 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 Department’s presumption
that reimbursement of antidumping
duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of doubled antidumping
duties.
This notice also serves as a reminder
to parties subject to administrative
protective order (APO) of their
responsibility concerning the
disposition of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely
written notification of the return or
destruction of APO materials, or
conversion to judicial protective order is
hereby requested. Failure to comply
with the regulations and the terms of an
APO is a sanctionable violation.
These final results of administrative
review are issued and published in
accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and
777(i)(1) of the Act.

preliminary results of the eighth

bedroom furniture from the People’s
Republic of China (‘‘PRC’’) covering the
period of review (‘‘POR’’) January 1,
2012 through December 31, 2012.1 We
gave interested parties an opportunity to
comment on the Preliminary Results.
After reviewing interested parties’
comments, we made certain changes to
our dumping margin calculations for the
only participating mandatory
respondent in the AR, Hualing
Furniture (China) Co., Ltd., Tony House
Manufacture (China) Co., Ltd., Buysell
Investments Ltd., and Tony House
Industries Co., Ltd. (collectively ‘‘Tony
House Group’’) and the new shipper
Dongguan Chengcheng Co., Ltd.
(‘‘Dongguan Chengcheng’’). For these
final results of the AR, we continue to
find that 46 companies, including two
of the three mandatory respondents,2
failed to establish eligibility for
separate-rate status and, thus, we treated
these companies as part of the PRC-wide
entity. We also continue to find that 12
companies, which made no shipments
of subject merchandise during the POR
and timely filed certifications to that
effect, will retain their separate-rate
status. The final antidumping duty
margins for these reviews are listed
below in the ‘‘Final Results of the 2012
Administrative Review’’ and ‘‘Final
Results of the 2012 New Shipper
Review’’ sections of this notice.

on wooden bedroom furniture from the
PRC covering the period January 1,
2012, through December 31, 2012. In
March 2014, interested parties timely
submitted surrogate value information
in the AR and surrogate value and
rebuttal surrogate value information in
the NSR. In April 2014, interested
parties submitted briefs and rebuttal
briefs in both the AR and the NSR.
Analysis of the Comments Received
All issues raised in the case briefs are
addressed in the memorandum from
Gary Taverman, Senior Advisor for
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Operations, to Paul Piquado, Assistant
Secretary for Enforcement and
Compliance, ‘‘Wooden Bedroom
Furniture from the People’s Republic of
China: Issues and Decision
Memorandum for the Final Results of
the 2012 Administrative Review and
New Shipper Review’’ (‘‘I&D
Memorandum’’), which is dated
concurrently with, and hereby adopted
by, this notice. A list of the issues
addressed in the I&D Memorandum is
appended to this notice. The I&D
Memorandum is a public document and
is on file electronically via Enforcement
and Compliance’s Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Centralized
Electronic Services System (‘‘IA
ACCESS’’). Access to IA ACCESS is
available to registered users at https://
iaaccess.trade.gov and in the Central
Records Unit of the main Commerce
Building, Room 7046. In addition, a
complete version of the I&D
Memorandum is accessible on the
Department’s Web site at https://
www.trade.gov/enforcement/. The
signed I&D Memorandum and electronic
version of the I&D Memorandum are
identical in content.
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
For the AR, we corrected errors in the
financial ratio calculations that we used
to calculate the Tony House Group’s
antidumping duty margin. For the NSR,
we selected new surrogate values for
multi-density fiberboard and paint, used
different financial statements to
calculate the financial ratios that we
used to calculate Dongguan
Chengcheng’s antidumping duty
margin, and revised the calculation for
brokerage and handling.
Scope of the Order
The product covered by the order is
wooden bedroom furniture, subject to
certain exceptions. Imports of subject
merchandise are currently classified
under the Harmonized Tariff Schedule
of the United States (‘‘HTSUS’’)
