Background

    On January 4, 2005, the Department of Commerce (Department)

bedroom furniture from the People's Republic of China (PRC) (furniture 
order). See Notice of Amended Final Determination of Sales at Less Than

5, 2009, the Department published a notice of opportunity to request an 
administrative review of the furniture order. See Antidumping or 
Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or Suspended Investigation: 
Opportunity to Request Administrative Review, 74 FR 265 (January 5, 
2009).
    The Department received multiple timely requests for an 
administrative review of the furniture order and on February 26, 2009, 
in accordance with section 751(a) of Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 
(the Act), published in the Federal Register a notice of the initiation 
of an administrative review of that order. See Initiation of

administrative review, in whole or in part, if the party that requested

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ We have used ``Limited'', rather than the abbreviation 
``Ltd.'' that was used in the Initiation Notice, because ``Limited'' 
is used in the Automated Commercial System Module (ACS Module) 
(i.e., the Antidumping/Countervailing Duty Module).
    \2\ We have used ``Company'', rather than the abbreviation 
``Co.'' that was used in the Initiation Notice, because ``Company'' 
is used in the ACS Module.
    \3\ We have used the abbreviation ``Ltd.'', rather than the word 
``Limited'' that was used in the Initiation Notice, because ``Ltd.'' 
is used after ``a.k.a. Dorbest'' in the ACS Module.
    \4\ We have used the abbreviation ``Mfg.'', rather than the word 
``Manufacturing'' that was used in the Initiation Notice, because 
``Mfg.'' is used in the ACS Module.
    \5\ The Initiation Notice contained a capitalization error with 
respect to this company name, which we have corrected.
    \6\ The abbreviation ``Co.'' incorrectly appeared after ``(Dong 
Guan)'' in the Initiation Notice. We have removed this abbreviation 
from the name of the company.
    \7\ We have used the abbreviation ``Ltd.'', rather than the word 
``Limited'' that was used in the Initiation Notice, because ``Ltd.'' 
is used in the ACS Module.
    \8\ The reference ``(H.K. Ltd.)'' was inadvertently omitted from 
the name in the Initiation Notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Assessment

    The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
(CBP) to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. For the 
companies listed above which had a separate rate granted in a 
previously completed segment of this proceeding that was in effect 
during the instant review period, antidumping duties shall be assessed 
on entries subject to the separate rate at rates equal to the cash 
deposit of estimated antidumping duties required at the time of entry, 
or withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption, in accordance with 19 
CFR 351.212(c)(1)(i). The Department intends to issue appropriate 
assessment instructions for such companies directly to CBP 15 days 
after the publication of this notice in the Federal Register. For any 
of the companies listed above that were part of the PRC-wide entity 
during the instant review period, the Department will issue assessment 
instructions on entries subject to the PRC-wide rate upon the 
completion of this administrative review. The companies from the above 
list for which the Department will not issue assessment instructions 
until the completion of the instant review are as follows:
    Ace Furniture & Crafts Ltd. (a.k.a. Deqing Ace Furniture and Crafts 
Limited)
    Asia Building Materials Limited
    C.F. Kent Co., Inc., C.F. Kent Hospitality, Inc., Shanghai Kent

    Dongguan Bon Ten Furniture Co., Ltd.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ Dongguan Bon Ten Furniture Co., Ltd. received a separate 
combination rate on October 31, 2008 (See Wooden Bedroom Furniture 
from the People's Republic of China: Final Results of Fourth New 
Shipper Reviews, 73 FR 64916 (October 31, 2008). This rate only 
applied to entries on or after October 31, 2008, where Dongguan Bon 
Ten Furniture Co., Ltd. was both the exporter and the producer of 
the subject merchandise. All other entries of subject merchandise 
from Dongguan Bon Ten Furniture Co., Ltd. during 2008 are subject to 
the PRC-wide rate. Assessment instructions for 2008 entries to which 
the PRC-wide rate applies will not be issued until completion of the 
instant review.

    In addition, pursuant to an injunction issued in Dorbest Ltd. v. 
United States, CIT No. 05-0003, on June 3, 2008, the Department must 
continue to suspend liquidation of entries made by Dorbest Limited., 
Rui Feng Woodwork (Dongguan) Co., Ltd., and Rui Feng Lumber Development 
(Shenzen) Co., Ltd. on or after January 1, 2008, pending a conclusive 
court decision.
    The review will continue with respect to all other entities 
identified in the Initiation Notice.

Notification to Importers

    This notice serves as a final reminder to importers whose entries 
will be liquidated as a result of this rescission notice, of their 
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f) 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 Secretary's assumption that 
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and subsequent assessment 
of double antidumping duties.

Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Orders (APOs)

    This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to APOs of 
their responsibility concerning the return or destruction of 
proprietary information disclosed under an APO in accordance with 19 
CFR 351.305(a)(3), which continues to govern business proprietary 
information in this segment of the proceeding. Timely written 
notification of the return/destruction of APO materials or conversion 
to judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to comply 
with the regulations and terms of an APO is a violation which is 
subject to sanction.
    This notice is issued and published in accordance with section 
777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).
