Department of Commerce February 2, 2009 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The Department of Commerce (the Department) has received requests to conduct administrative reviews of various antidumping and countervailing duty orders and findings with December anniversary dates. In accordance with our regulations, we are initiating those administrative reviews. The Department also received requests to revoke one antidumping duty order in part.

On July 1, 2008, the Department of Commerce (``Department'') initiated a sunset review of the antidumping duty order on certain frozen fish fillets (``fish fillets'') from the Socialist Republic of Vietnam (``Vietnam''). On the basis of a notice of intent to participate, and an adequate substantive response filed on behalf of domestic interested parties, as well as a lack of response from respondent interested parties, the Department conducted an expedited sunset review. As a result of the sunset review, the Department finds that revocation of the antidumping duty order would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping. The dumping margins are identified in the Final Results of Review section of this notice.

On January 7, 2009, the United States Court of International Trade (``CIT'' or the ``Court'') sustained the final remand determination made by the Department of Commerce (``Department'') pursuant to the Court's remands of the amended final determination of the less than fair value investigation of wooden bedroom furniture (``WBF'') from the People's Republic of China (``PRC''). See Final Results of Redetermination Pursuant to Court Remand, July 15, 2008 (``Remand III''); Dorbest Limited, et al. v. United States, Slip Op. 09-02 (CIT January 7, 2009) (``Dorbest III''). This case arises out of the Department's final determination of sales at less than fair value: Wooden Bedroom Furniture from the PRC, 69 FR 67313 (November 17, 2004), as amended, 70 FR 329 (January 5, 2005) (``Final Determination''). The final judgment in this case was not in harmony with the Department's Final Determination.
