SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
AGENCY:
Background
The Department has received timely
requests, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.213(b), for administrative reviews of
various antidumping and countervailing
duty orders and findings with January
anniversary dates.
All deadlines for the submission of
various types of information,
certifications, or comments or actions by
the Department discussed below refer to
the number of calendar days from the
applicable starting time.
Notice of No Sales
If a producer or exporter named in
this notice of initiation had no exports,
sales, or entries during the period of
review (‘‘POR’’), it must notify the
Department within 30 days of
publication of this notice in the Federal
Register. All submissions must be filed
electronically at https://access.trade.gov
in accordance with 19 CFR 351.303.1
Such submissions are subject to

verification in accordance with section
782(i) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (‘‘the Act’’). Further, in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.303(f)(1)(i),
a copy must be served on every party on
the Department’s service list.
Respondent Selection
In the event the Department limits the
number of respondents for individual
examination for administrative reviews
initiated pursuant to requests made for
the orders identified below, except for
the administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on wooden
bedroom furniture from the People’s
Republic of China (‘‘PRC’’), the
Department intends to select
respondents based on U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’) data for U.S.
imports during the period of review. We
intend to place the CBP data on the
record within five days of publication of
the initiation notice and to make our
decision regarding respondent selection
within 30 days of publication of the
initiation Federal Register notice.
Comments regarding the CBP data and
respondent selection should be
submitted seven days after the
placement of the CBP data on the record
of this review. Parties wishing to submit
rebuttal comments should submit those
comments five days after the deadline
for the initial comments.
In the event the Department decides
it is necessary to limit individual
examination of respondents and
conduct respondent selection under
section 777A(c)(2) of the Act:
In general, the Department has found
that determinations concerning whether
particular companies should be
‘‘collapsed’’ (i.e., treated as a single
entity for purposes of calculating
antidumping duty rates) require a
substantial amount of detailed
information and analysis, which often
require follow-up questions and
analysis. Accordingly, the Department
will not conduct collapsing analyses at
the respondent selection phase of this
review and will not collapse companies
at the respondent selection phase unless
there has been a determination to
collapse certain companies in a
previous segment of this antidumping
proceeding (i.e., investigation,
administrative review, new shipper
review or changed circumstances
review). For any company subject to this
review, if the Department determined,
or continued to treat, that company as
collapsed with others, the Department
will assume that such companies
continue to operate in the same manner
and will collapse them for respondent
selection purposes. Otherwise, the
Department will not collapse companies
