\1\ If one of the above named companies does not qualify for a separate
  rate, all other exporters of wooden bedroom furniture from the PRC
  that have not qualified for a separate rate are deemed to be covered
  by this review as part of the single PRC entity of which the named
  exporter is a part.
 * These companies received a separate rate in the most recent segment
  of this proceeding in which they participated.

Notice of No Sales

    The companies on which we are initiating this review, should notify 
the Department within 30 days of publication of this notice in the 
Federal Register if they had no shipments, entries or sales of the 
merchandise under consideration during the POR.

Separate Rates

    In proceedings involving non-market economy (``NME'') countries, 
the Department begins with a rebuttable presumption that all companies 
within the country are subject to government control and, thus, should 
be assigned a single antidumping duty deposit rate. It is the 
Department's policy to assign all exporters of merchandise subject to 
an administrative review in an NME country this single rate unless an 
exporter can demonstrate that it is sufficiently independent so as to 
be entitled to a separate rate.
    To establish whether a firm is sufficiently independent from 
government control of its export activities to be entitled to a 
separate rate, the Department analyzes each entity exporting the 
subject merchandise under a test arising from the Final Determination 
of Sales at Less Than Fair Value: Sparklers from the People's Republic 
of China, 56 FR 20588 (May 6, 1991) (``Sparklers''), as amplified by 
Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value: Silicon Carbide 
from the People's Republic of China, 59 FR 22585 (May 2,1994) 
(``Silicon Carbide''). In accordance with the separate-rates criteria, 
the Department assigns separate rates to companies in NME cases only if 
respondents can demonstrate the absence of both de jure and de facto 
government control over export activities.
    In order for exporters or producers to obtain separate-rate status 
in NME administrative reviews, the Department requires parties to 
submit a separate-rate status application or certification. See Policy 
Bulletin 05.1: Separate-Rates Practice and Application of Combination 
Rates in Antidumping Investigations Involving Non-Market Economy 
Countries (April 5, 2005), available on the Department's Web site at 
http://ia.ita.doc.gov/policy/bull05-1.pdf.
    Due to the large number of firms requesting an administrative 
review in this proceeding, the Department is requiring all firms listed 
above that wish to qualify for separate-rate status in this 
administrative review to complete, as appropriate, either a separate-
rate status application or certification, as described below.
    For this administrative review, in order to demonstrate separate-
rate eligibility, the Department requires entities for whom a review 
was requested, that were assigned a separate rate in the most recent 
segment of this proceeding in which they participated, to certify that 
they continue to meet the criteria for obtaining a separate rate. The 
Separate Rate Certification form will be available on the Department's 
Web site at http://ia.ita.doc.gov/ on the date of publication of this 
Federal Register. In responding to the certification, please follow the 
``Instructions for Filing the Certification'' in the Separate Rate 
Certification. Separate Rate Certifications are due to the Department 
no later than April 6, 2008. The deadline and requirement for 
submitting a Certification applies equally to NME-owned firms, wholly 
foreign-owned firms, and foreign sellers who purchase and export 
subject merchandise to the United States.
    For entities that have not previously been assigned a separate 
rate, to demonstrate eligibility for such, the Department requires a 
Separate Rate Status Application. The Separate Rate Status Application 
will be available on the Department's Web site at http://ia.ita.doc.gov/ on the date of publication of this Federal Register. In 
responding to the Separate Rate Status Application, refer to the 
instructions contained in the application. Separate Rate Status 
Applications are due to the Department no later than May 6, 2008. The 
deadline and requirement for submitting a Separate Rate Status 
Application applies equally to NME-owned firms, wholly foreign-owned 
firms, and foreign sellers that purchase and export subject merchandise 
to the United States.
    Section 777A(c)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the 
Act'') directs the Department to calculate individual dumping margins 
for each known exporter and producer of the subject merchandise. Where 
it is not practicable to examine all known producers/exporters of 
subject merchandise, section 777A(c)(2) of the Act permits the 
Department to examine either (1) a sample of exporters, producers or 
types of products that is statistically valid based on the information 
available at the time of selection; or (2) exporters and producers 
accounting for the largest volume of the subject merchandise from the 
exporting country that can be reasonably examined. Due to the large 
number of firms requested for an administrative review and the 
Department's experience regarding the resulting administrative burden 
to review each company for which a

[[Page 12392]]

request has been made, the Department is considering exercising its 
authority to limit the number of respondents selected for review using 
one of the two methods described above.

Selection of Respondents

    For this administrative review, 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 (``POR''). We intend to 
make our decisions regarding respondent selection within 20 days of 
publication of this Federal Register notice. The Department invites 
comments regarding the CBP data and the selection of respondents within 
seven days of publication of this Federal Register notice.

Notification

    This notice constitutes public notification to all firms requested 
for review and seeking separate-rate status in this administrative 
review of the antidumping duty order on wooden bedroom furniture from 
the PRC that they must submit a separate-rate status application or 
certification, as appropriate, within the time limits established in 
this notice of initiation of administrative review in order to receive 
consideration for separate-rate status. In other words, the Department 
will not give consideration to any Separate Rate Certification or 
Separate Rate Status Application made by parties who fail to timely 
submit the requisite Separate Rate Certification or Application. All 
information submitted by respondents in this administrative review is 
subject to verification. To complete this segment within the statutory 
time frame, the Department will be limited in its ability to extend 
deadlines on the above submissions. As noted above, the Separate Rate 
Certification and the Separate Rate Status Application will be 
available on the Department's Web site at http://ia.ita.doc.gov/ on the 
date of publication of this Federal Register.
    Interested parties must submit applications for disclosure under 
administrative protective order in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305. 
Instructions for filing such applications may be found on the 
Department's Web site at http://ia.ita.doc.gov.
    This initiation and notice are in accordance with section 751(a) of 
the Act, and 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i).

    Dated: February 29, 2008.
