Department of Commerce.

SUMMARY: On October 31, 2006, the United States Court of International 
Trade (``Court'') entered a stipulated judgment in the consolidated 
case of Dorbest Limited, et. al. v. United States, Consol. Ct. No. 05-
cv-00003 (``Court Order''). This litigation arises out of the 
Department's Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value: 
Wooden Bedroom Furniture From the People's Republic of China, 69 FR 
67313 (November 17, 2004) (``Final Determination''), as amended, 70 FR 
329 (January 4, 2005) (``Amended Final Determination and Order''). The 
court case filed by Lacquer Craft Manufacturing Company Ltd. (``Lacquer 
Craft'') (Lacquer Craft Manufacturing Company Ltd. v. United States, 
Court No. 05-00083), was consolidated into the case filed by Dorbest 
Limited, et. al. (Court No. 05-00003). Pursuant to the Court's Order, 
Lacquer Craft's court case (Court No. 05-00083) has been severed from 
the consolidated litigation (Court No. 05-00003), and Lacquer Craft's 
claims against the government dismissed. Because the litigation in 
Lacquer Craft's case is now concluded, the Department is issuing an 
amended final determination in accordance with the Stipulated Judgement 
in this action.

DATES: Effective Date: November 20, 2006.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Eugene Degnan, AD/CVD Operations, 
Office 8, Import Administration, International Trade Administration, 
U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue, NW., 
Washington DC 20230; telephone (202) 482-0414.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    On November 17, 2004, the Department published its notice of final 
determination in the investigation of wooden bedroom furniture from the 
PRC. See Final Determination. On January 4, 2005, the Department 
published its notice of amended final determination and antidumping 
duty order in the investigation on wooden bedroom furniture from the 
PRC. See Amended Final Determination and Order.
    On March 4, 2005, Lacquer Craft filed its complaint with the Court 
with respect to the Department's Amended Final Determination and Order 
in Lacquer Craft Manufacturing Company, Ltd. v. United States, Ct. No. 
05-00083. Lacquer Craft's court case was subsequently consolidated with 
court number 05-00003 on June 29, 2005. Pursuant to the Court's Order, 
Lacquer Craft's court case (Court No. 05-00083) was severed from the 
consolidated litigation (Court No. 05-00003), and Lacquer Craft's court 
case against the government was dismissed.
    The Court Order further orders the Department of Commerce (``the 
Department'') to (i) exclude wooden bedroom furniture from the Amended 
Final Determination and Order when it is both produced and exported by 
Lacquer Craft,\1\ and (ii) amend the weighted-average dumping margin 
applied to respondents with separate-rate status \2\ to exclude Lacquer 
Craft from the calculation for subject merchandise entered, or 
withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the effective 
date of the Amended Final Determination resulting from the Court's 
stipulated judgment.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ For purposes of this order, wooden bedroom furniture 
produced and exported by Lacquer Craft includes furniture produced 
and exported by any of Lacquer Craft Manufacturing Company Ltd.'s 
factories in the People's Republic of China, which currently are in 
Dong Guan (Lacquer Craft Manufacturing Company Ltd. (Dong Guan) and 
Zhejiang (Lacquer Craft Manufacturing Company Ltd. (Zhejiang)).
    \2\ For purposes of this order, ``respondents with separate-rate 
status'' shall mean the non-mandatory respondents granted a separate 
rate by the Department in the underlying investigation of wooden 
bedroom furniture. Commerce's dumping margin applied to such 
respondents is calculated as the weighted-average of the rates of 
the mandatory respondents.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Amended Final Determination

    Because all claims filed by Lacquer Craft against the Department 
have been dismissed, and because the litigation in Lacquer Craft's de-
consolidated court case is concluded, we are now amending the Amended 
Final Determination and Order to reflect the results of the Court's 
Order. Lacquer Craft is excluded from the Order. The amended weighted-
average rate applied to respondents with separate-rate status is 7.24 
percent. The rate applied to the PRC-wide entity remains unchanged.
    With the above revisions, the dumping margins for this Order are as 
follows:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                              Weighted-
                                                               average
                          Company                               margin
                                                              (percent)

* In the Final Determination, the Department inadvertently listed Tech
  Lane Wood Mfg. and Kee Jia Wood Mfg. separately in the weighted-
  average dumping margin chart, which may have led parties to conclude
  that these companies were entitled to a separate rate. This, in fact,
  is not the case. Subject merchandise produced/exported by Tech Lane
  Wood Mfg. and Kee Jia Wood Mfg. is subject to the PRC-wide rate.

    Within five business days of publication of this notice, the 
Department will issue instructions to U.S. Customs and Border 
Protection (``CBP'') to revise the cash deposit rates for the companies 
listed above that have a separate rate, effective as of the publication 
of this notice. Further, we will instruct CBP to liquidate all entries 
of subject merchandise produced and exported by Lacquer Craft, without 
regard to antidumping duties, because Lacquer Craft is excluded from 
the antidumping duty order.
    This notice is published in accordance with sections 735(d) and 
777(i) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended.
