Uncovered Innerspring Units From the People's Republic of China: 
Final Results and Final Rescission, in Part, of Antidumping Duty 
Administrative Review

AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.

SUMMARY: On December 6, 2011, the Department of Commerce 
(``Department'') published in the Federal Register the Preliminary 
Results of the second administrative review of the antidumping duty 
order on uncovered innersprings units (``innersprings'') from the 
People's Republic of China (``PRC'').\1\ We gave interested parties an 
opportunity to comment on the Preliminary Results. None were received. 
As such, these final results do not differ from the Preliminary 
Results. We find that Reztec Industries Sdn Bhd (``Reztec'') did not 
sell subject merchandise during the period of review (``POR''), 
February 1, 2010, through January 31, 2011 and, thus we are rescinding 
the administrative review, in part, with respect to Reztec. We 
additionally find that Goodnite Sdn Bhd (``Goodnite'') failed to 
cooperate to the best of its ability when it did not respond to the 
Department's original questionnaire and, therefore, we have assigned 
Goodnite's a rate based on total adverse facts available (``AFA''). The 
final dumping margin for this administrative review is listed in the 
``Final Results of Review'' section below.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    As noted above, on December 6, 2011, the Department published in 
the Federal Register the Preliminary Results of the administrative 
review of innersprings from the PRC. The Department did not receive 
comments from interested parties on the Preliminary Results.

Changes Since the Preliminary Results

    We have not made any changes to the Preliminary Results.

Scope of the Order

    The merchandise subject to the order is uncovered innerspring units 
composed of a series of individual metal springs joined together in 
sizes corresponding to the sizes of adult mattresses (e.g., twin, twin 
long, full, full long, queen, California king and king) and units used 
in smaller constructions, such as crib and youth mattresses. All 
uncovered innerspring units are included in the scope regardless of 
width and length. Included within this definition are innersprings 
typically ranging from 30.5 inches to 76 inches in width and 68 inches 
to 84 inches in length. Innersprings for crib mattresses typically 
range from 25 inches to 27 inches in width and 50 inches to 52 inches 
in length.
    Uncovered innerspring units are suitable for use as the innerspring 
component in the manufacture of innerspring mattresses, including 
mattresses that incorporate a foam encasement around the innerspring.
    Pocketed and non-pocketed innerspring units are included in this 
definition. Non-pocketed innersprings are typically joined together 
with helical wire and border rods. Non-pocketed innersprings are 
included in this definition regardless of whether they have border rods 
attached to the perimeter of the innerspring. Pocketed innersprings are 
individual coils covered by a ``pocket'' or ``sock'' of a nonwoven 
synthetic material or woven material and then glued together in a 
linear fashion.
    Uncovered innersprings are classified under subheading 9404.29.9010 
and have also been classified under subheadings 9404.10.0000, 
7326.20.0070, 7320.20.5010, or 7320.90.5010 of the Harmonized Tariff 
Schedule of the United States (``HTSUS''). The HTSUS subheadings are 
provided for convenience and customs purposes only; the written 
description of the scope of the order is dispositive.

Final Partial Rescission

    In the Preliminary Results, the Department preliminarily rescinded 
the review with respect to Reztec.\2\ In this administrative review, 
Reztec reported that it had no shipments of subject merchandise to the 
United States during the POR. As a result, the Department issued a no-
shipment inquiry to U.S. Customs Border and Protection (``CBP''), 
asking that CBP provide any information contrary to our preliminary 
findings of no entries of subject merchandise for merchandise 
manufactured and shipped by Reztec.\3\ We did not receive any response 
from CBP, thus indicating that there were no entries of subject 
merchandise into the United States exported by Reztec. After issuing 
the Preliminary Results, the Department did not receive any comments 
from interested parties regarding the rescission of this company. 
Therefore, the Department is rescinding the administrative review with 
respect to Reztec.

Final Results of Review

    The dumping margin for the POR is as follows:

                        Innersprings From the PRC
------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                Margin
                   Manufacturer/Exporter                      (percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Goodnite \4\...............................................       234.51
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Assessment

    Upon issuance of the final results, the Department will determine, 
and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (``CBP'') shall assess, 
antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. The Department intends 
to issue assessment instructions to CBP 15 days after the date of 
publication of the final results of review. Pursuant to 19 CFR 
351.212(b)(1), we will calculate importer-specific (or customer) ad 
valorem duty assessment rates based on the ratio of the total amount of 
the dumping margins calculated for the examined sales to the total 
entered value of those same sales. In accordance with 19 CFR 
351.106(c)(2), we will instruct CBP to liquidate, without regard to 
antidumping duties, all entries of subject merchandise during the POR 
for which the importer-specific assessment rate is zero or de minimis.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ The Department notes that this antidumping duty margin 
applies only to Goodnite's subject merchandise, which is limited to 
PRC-origin merchandise. See Preliminary Results at 76127.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cash Deposit Requirements

    The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon 
publication of the final results of this administrative review for all 
shipments of the subject merchandise from the PRC entered, or withdrawn 
from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date, as 
provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For previously 
investigated or reviewed PRC and non-PRC exporters not listed above 
that have separate rates, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the 
exporter-specific rate published for the most recent period; (2) for 
all PRC exporters of subject merchandise which have not been found to 
be entitled to a separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be the PRC-
wide rate of 234.51 percent; (3) for all non-PRC exporters of subject 
merchandise which have not received their own rate, the cash deposit 
rate will be the rate applicable to the PRC exporters that supplied 
that non-PRC exporter; and (4) for Goodnite the cash deposit rate will 
be 234.51 percent. These deposit requirements, when imposed, shall 
remain in effect until further notice.

Reimbursement of Duties

    This notice also serves as a final reminder to importers of their 
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate 
regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation 
of the relevant entries during this POR. Failure to comply with this 
requirement could result in the Department's presumption that 
reimbursement of antidumping duties has occurred and the subsequent 
assessment of doubled antidumping duties.

Administrative Protective Orders

    In accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), this notice also serves as 
a reminder to parties subject to administrative protective order 
(``APO'') of their responsibility concerning the return or destruction 
of proprietary information disclosed under the APO, 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.

[[Page 21963]]

Failure to comply with the regulations and terms of an APO is a 
violation subject to sanction.
    We are issuing and publishing this administrative review and notice 
in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act.

    Dated: April 3, 2012.

Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
