DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
International Trade Administration
Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative
Reviews
AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) has received
requests to conduct administrative reviews of various antidumping duty
(AD) and countervailing duty (CVD) orders with January anniversary
dates. In accordance with Commerce's regulations, we are initiating
those administrative reviews.
DATES: Applicable February 21, 2025.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Brenda E. Brown, AD/CVD Operations,
Customs Liaison Unit, Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade
Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue
NW, Washington, DC 20230, telephone: (202) 482-4735.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Commerce has received timely requests, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.213(b), for administrative reviews of various AD and CVD orders
with January anniversary dates.
All deadlines for the submission of various types of information,
certifications, or comments or actions by Commerce discussed below
refer to the number of calendar days from the applicable starting time.
[[Page 10049]]
Respondent Selection
In the event that Commerce limits the number of respondents for
individual examination for administrative reviews initiated pursuant to
requests made for the orders identified below, Commerce intends to
select respondents based either on U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(CBP) data for U.S. imports during the period of review (POR) or
questionnaires in which we request the quantity and value (Q&V) of
sales, shipments, or exports during the POR. Where Commerce selects
respondents based on CBP data, we intend to place the CBP data on the
record within five days of publication of the initiation notice. Where
Commerce selects respondents based on Q&V data, except for the
administrative review of the AD order on wooden bedroom furniture from
the People's Republic of China (China), for which the Q&V questionnaire
is in a document package online, Commerce intends to place the Q&V
questionnaire on the record of the review within five days of
publication of the initiation notice. In either case, we intend to make
our decision regarding respondent selection within 35 days of
publication of the initiation notice in the Federal Register. Comments
regarding the CBP data (and/or Q&V data (where applicable)) and
respondent selection should be submitted within seven days after the
placement of the CBP data/submission of the Q&V data on the record of
the review. Parties wishing to submit rebuttal comments should submit
those comments within five days after the deadline for the initial
comments.
In the event that Commerce decides it is necessary to limit
individual examination of respondents and conduct respondent selection
under section 777A(c)(2) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the
Act), the following guidelines regarding collapsing of companies for
purposes of respondent selection will apply. In general, Commerce has
found that determinations concerning whether particular companies
should be ``collapsed'' (e.g., treated as a single entity for purposes
of calculating AD rates) require a substantial amount of detailed
information and analysis, which often require follow-up questions and
analysis. Accordingly, Commerce will not conduct collapsing analyses at
the respondent selection phase of the review and will not collapse
companies at the respondent selection phase unless there has been a
determination to collapse certain companies in a previous segment of
the AD proceeding (e.g., investigation, administrative review, new
shipper review, or changed circumstances review). For any company
subject to the review, if Commerce determined, or continued to treat,
that company as collapsed with others, Commerce will assume that such
companies continue to operate in the same manner and will collapse them
for respondent selection purposes. Otherwise, Commerce will not
collapse companies for purposes of respondent selection.
Parties are requested to (a) identify which companies subject to
review previously were collapsed, and (b) provide a citation to the
proceeding in which they were collapsed. Further, if companies are
requested to complete the Q&V questionnaire for purposes of respondent
selection, in general, each company must report volume and value data
separately for itself. Parties should not include data for any other
party, even if they believe they should be treated as a single entity
with that other party. If a company was collapsed with another company
or companies in the most recently completed segment of the proceeding
where Commerce considered collapsing that entity, complete Q&V data for
that collapsed entity must be submitted.
Respondent Selection--Wooden Bedroom Furniture From China
In the event that Commerce limits the number of respondents
individually examined in the administrative review of the AD order on
wooden bedroom furniture from China, for purposes of the January 1,
2024, through December 31, 2024, POR, Commerce intends to select
respondents based on volume data contained in responses to a Q&V
questionnaire. All parties under review with respect to the AD order on
wooden bedroom furniture from China, are hereby notified that they must
timely respond to the Q&V questionnaire and certain additional
questions. Commerce's Q&V questionnaire, along with certain additional
questions, will be available in a document package at https://access.trade.gov/Resources/prc-WBF-document-Package.pdf on the date
that this notice is published in the Federal Register. A response to
the Q&V questionnaire and the additional questions must be received by
Commerce by no later than 21 days after publication of this notice in
the Federal Register. Please be advised that due to the time
constraints imposed by the statutory and regulatory deadlines for
completing AD administrative reviews, Commerce does not intend to grant
any extensions of time to respond to the Q&V questionnaire or the
additional questions.
Notice of No Sales
With respect to AD administrative reviews, we intend to rescind the
review where there are no suspended entries for a company or entity
under review and/or where there are no suspended entries under the
company-specific case number for that company or entity. Where there
may be suspended entries, if a producer or exporter named in this
notice of initiation had no exports, sales, or entries during the POR,
it may notify Commerce of this fact within 30 days of publication of
this initiation notice in the Federal Register for Commerce to consider
how to treat suspended entries under that producer's or exporter's
company-specific case number.
Deadline for Withdrawal of Request for Administrative Review
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), a party that has requested a
review may withdraw that request within 90 days of the date of
publication of the notice of initiation of the requested review. The
regulation provides that Commerce may extend this time if it is
reasonable to do so. Determinations by Commerce to extend the 90-day
deadline will be made on a case-by-case basis.
Deadline for Particular Market Situation Allegation
Section 504 of the Trade Preferences Extension Act of 2015 amended
the Act by adding the concept of a particular market situation (PMS)
for purposes of constructed value under section 773(e) of the Act.\1\
Section 773(e) of the Act states that ``if a particular market
situation exists such that the cost of materials and fabrication or
other processing of any kind does not accurately reflect the cost of
production in the ordinary course of trade, the administering authority
may use another calculation methodology under this subtitle or any
other calculation methodology.'' When an interested party submits a PMS
allegation pursuant to section 773(e) of the Act, Commerce will respond
to such a submission consistent with 19 CFR 351.301(c)(2)(v). If
Commerce finds that a PMS exists under section 773(e) of the Act, then
it will modify its dumping calculations appropriately.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ See Trade Preferences Extension Act of 2015, Public Law 114-
27, 129 Stat. 362 (2015).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Neither section 773(e) of the Act nor 19 CFR 351.301(c)(2)(v) set a
deadline for the submission of PMS allegations and supporting factual
information. However, in order to administer section 773(e) of the Act,
Commerce must receive PMS allegations and supporting
[[Page 10050]]
factual information with enough time to consider the submission. Thus,
should an interested party wish to submit a PMS allegation and
supporting new factual information pursuant to section 773(e) of the
Act, it must do so no later than 20 days after submission of initial
responses to section D of the questionnaire.
Separate Rates
In proceedings involving non-market economy (NME) countries,
Commerce begins with a rebuttable presumption that all companies within
the country are subject to government control and, thus, should be
assigned a single AD deposit rate. It is Commerce'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, Commerce analyzes each entity exporting the subject
merchandise. In accordance with the separate rates criteria, Commerce
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.
All firms listed below that wish to qualify for separate rate
status in the administrative reviews involving NME countries must
complete, as appropriate, either a Separate Rate Application or
Certification, as described below. In addition, all firms that wish to
qualify for separate rate status in the administrative reviews of AD
orders in which a Q&V questionnaire is issued must complete, as
appropriate, either a Separate Rate Application or Certification, and
respond to the Q&V questionnaire. All firms that wish to qualify for
separate rate status in the administrative review of the AD order on
wooden bedroom furniture from China, must complete, as appropriate,
either a Separate Rate Application or Certification, and respond to the
Q&V questionnaire and the additional questions at https://access.trade.gov/Resources/prc-WBF-document-Package.pdf.
For these administrative reviews, in order to demonstrate separate
rate eligibility, Commerce 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 Commerce's
website at https://access.trade.gov/Resources/nme/nme-sep-rate.html on
the date of publication of this Federal Register notice. In responding
to the certification, please follow the ``Instructions for Filing the
Certification'' in the Separate Rate Certification. Separate Rate
Certifications are due to Commerce no later than 14 calendar days after
publication of this Federal Register notice. In addition to filing a
Separate Rate Certification with Commerce no later than 14 calendar
days after publication of this Federal Register notice, for the
administrative review of the AD order on wooden bedroom furniture from
China, a response to the Q&V questionnaire and the additional questions
in the document package described above are due to Commerce no later
than 21 calendar days after publication of this Federal Register
notice. The deadline and requirement for submitting a Separate Rate
Certification applies equally to NME-owned firms, wholly foreign-owned
firms, and foreign sellers who purchase and export subject merchandise
to the United States.
Entities that currently do not have a separate rate from a
completed segment of the proceeding \2\ should timely file a Separate
Rate Application to demonstrate eligibility for a separate rate in this
proceeding. In addition, companies that received a separate rate in a
completed segment of the proceeding that have subsequently made
changes, including, but not limited to, changes to corporate structure,
acquisitions of new companies or facilities, or changes to their
official company name,\3\ should timely file a Separate Rate
Application to demonstrate eligibility for a separate rate in this
proceeding. The Separate Rate Application will be available on
Commerce's website at https://access.trade.gov/Resources/nme/nme-sep-rate.html on the date of publication of this Federal Register notice.
In responding to the Separate Rate Application, refer to the
instructions contained in the application. Separate Rate Applications
are due to Commerce no later than 14 calendar days after publication of
this Federal Register notice. In addition to filing a Separate Rate
Application with Commerce no later than 14 calendar days after
publication of this Federal Register notice, for the administrative
review of the AD order on wooden bedroom furniture from China, a
response to the Q&V questionnaire and the additional questions in the
document package described above, are due to Commerce no later than 21
calendar days after publication of this Federal Register notice. The
deadline and requirement for submitting a Separate Rate Application
applies equally to NME-owned firms, wholly foreign-owned firms, and
foreign sellers that purchase and export subject merchandise to the
United States.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ Such entities include entities that have not participated in
the proceeding, entities that were preliminarily granted a separate
rate in any currently incomplete segment of the proceeding (e.g., an
ongoing administrative review, new shipper review, etc.) and
entities that lost their separate rate in the most recently
completed segment of the proceeding in which they participated.
\3\ Only changes to the official company name, rather than trade
names, need to be addressed via a Separate Rate Application.
Information regarding new trade names may be submitted via a
Separate Rate Certification.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Exporters and producers must file a timely Separate Rate
Application or Certification if they want to be considered for
individual examination. Furthermore, exporters and producers who submit
a Separate Rate Application or Certification and subsequently are
selected as mandatory respondents will no longer be eligible for
separate rate status unless they respond to all parts of the
questionnaire as mandatory respondents.
Furthermore, this notice constitutes public notification to all
firms for which an administrative review of the AD order on wooden
bedroom furniture from China has been requested, that are seeking
separate rate status in the review, that they must submit a timely
filed Separate Rate Application or Certification (as appropriate) as
described above, and a timely filed response to the Q&V questionnaire
and the additional questions in the document package in order to
receive consideration for separate-rate status. In other words, in the
administrative review of the AD order on wooden bedroom furniture from
China, Commerce will not give consideration to any timely filed
Separate Rate Application or Certification from a party who failed to
timely respond to the Q&V questionnaire and the additional questions.
All information submitted by respondents in the administrative review
of the AD order on wooden bedroom furniture from China is subject to
verification. As noted above, the Separate Rate Application and the
Separate Rate Certification will be available on Commerce's website,
and the Q&V questionnaire and the additional questions will be
available at https://access.trade.gov/Resources/prc-
[[Page 10051]]
WBF-document-Package.pdf on the date of publication of this notice in
the Federal Register.
Certification Eligibility
Commerce may establish a certification process for companies whose
exports to the United States could contain both subject and non-subject
merchandise. Companies under review that were deemed to not be eligible
to participate in the certification program of that proceeding may
submit a Certification Eligibility Application to establish that they
maintain the necessary systems to track their sales to the United
States of subject and non-subject goods.
All firms listed below that are not currently eligible to certify
but wish to establish certification eligibility are required to submit
a Certification Eligibility Application. The Certification Eligibility
Application will be available on Commerce's website at https://access.trade.gov/Resources/Certification-Eligibility-Application.pdf.
Certification Eligibility Applications must be filed according to
Commerce's regulations and are due to Commerce no later than 30
calendar days after the publication of the Federal Register notice.
Exporters and producers that are not currently eligible to certify,
who submit a Certification Eligibility Application, and are
subsequently selected as mandatory respondents must respond to all
parts of the questionnaire as mandatory respondents for Commerce to
consider their Certification Eligibility Application.
Initiation of Reviews
In accordance with 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i), we are initiating
administrative reviews of the following AD and CVD orders and findings.
We intend to issue the final results of these reviews not later than
January 31, 2026.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Duty Absorption Reviews
During any administrative review covering all or part of a period
falling between the first and second or third and fourth anniversary of
the publication of an AD order under 19 CFR 351.211 or a determination
under 19 CFR 351.218(f)(4) to continue an order or suspended
investigation (after sunset review), Commerce, if requested by a
domestic interested party within 30 days of the date of publication of
the notice of initiation of the review, will determine whether
antidumping duties have been absorbed by an exporter or producer
subject to the review if the subject merchandise is sold in the United
States through an importer that is affiliated with such exporter or
producer. The request must include the name(s) of the exporter or
producer for which the inquiry is requested.
Gap Period Liquidation
For the first administrative review of any order, there will be no
assessment of antidumping or countervailing duties on entries of
subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption during the relevant ``gap'' period of the order (i.e., the
period following the expiry of provisional measures and before
definitive measures were put into place), if such a gap period is
applicable to the POR.
Administrative Protective Orders and Letters of Appearance
Interested parties must submit applications for disclosure under
administrative protective orders in accordance with the procedures
outlined in Commerce's regulations at 19 CFR 351.305. Those procedures
apply to administrative reviews included in this notice of initiation.
Parties wishing to participate in any of these administrative reviews
should ensure that they meet the requirements of these procedures
(e.g., the filing of
[[Page 10062]]
separate letters of appearance as discussed at 19 CFR 351.103(d)).
Factual Information Requirements
Commerce's regulations identify five categories of factual
information in 19 CFR 351.102(b)(21), which are summarized as follows:
(i) evidence submitted in response to questionnaires; (ii) evidence
submitted in support of allegations; (iii) publicly available
information to value factors under 19 CFR 351.408(c) or to measure the
adequacy of remuneration under 19 CFR 351.511(a)(2); (iv) evidence
placed on the record by Commerce; and (v) evidence other than factual
information described in (i)-(iv). These regulations require any party,
when submitting factual information, to specify under which subsection
of 19 CFR 351.102(b)(21) the information is being submitted and, if the
information is submitted to rebut, clarify, or correct factual
information already on the record, to provide an explanation
identifying the information already on the record that the factual
information seeks to rebut, clarify, or correct. The regulations, at 19
CFR 351.301, also provide specific time limits for such factual
submissions based on the type of factual information being submitted.
Please review the Final Rule,\7\ available at https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2013-07-17/pdf/2013-17045.pdf, prior to submitting
factual information in this segment. Note that Commerce has amended
certain of its requirements pertaining to the service of documents in
19 CFR 351.303(f).\8\

Rule, 88 FR 67069 (September 29, 2023).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Any party submitting factual information in an AD or CVD proceeding
must certify to the accuracy and completeness of that information using
the formats provided at the end of the Final Rule.\9\ Commerce intends
to reject factual submissions in any proceeding segments if the
submitting party does not comply with applicable certification
requirements.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Time Limits for Submission of Factual Information in Response to
Questionnaires
Section 351.301(c) of Commerce's regulations states that during a
proceeding, Commerce may issue to any person questionnaires, which
includes both and initial and supplemental questionnaires. For all
administrative review segments initiated after January 15, 2025, the
following time limits apply:
(i) Initial questionnaire responses are due 30 days from the date
of receipt of such questionnaire. The time limit for response to
individual sections of the questionnaire, if Commerce requests a
separate response to such sections, may be less than the 30 days
allotted for response to the full questionnaire. In general, the date
of receipt will be considered to be seven days from the date on which
the initial questionnaire was transmitted.
(ii) Supplemental questionnaire responses are due on the date
specified by Commerce.
(iii) A notification by an interested party, under section
782(c)(1) of the Act, of difficulties in submitting information in
response to a questionnaire issued by Commerce is to be submitted in
writing within 14 days after the date of the questionnaire or, if the
questionnaire is due in 14 days or less, within the time specified by
Commerce.
(iv) A respondent interested party may request in writing that
Commerce conduct a questionnaire presentation. Commerce may conduct a
questionnaire presentation if Commerce notifies the government of the
affected country and that government does not object.
(v) Factual information submitted to rebut, clarify, or correct
questionnaire responses. Within 14 days after an initial questionnaire
response and within 10 days after a supplemental questionnaire response
has been filed with Commerce, an interested party other than the
original submitter is permitted one opportunity to submit factual
information to rebut, clarify, or correct factual information contained
in the questionnaire response. Within seven days of the filing of such
rebuttal, clarification, or correction to a questionnaire response, the
original submitter of the questionnaire response is permitted one
opportunity to submit factual information to rebut, clarify, or correct
factual information submitted in the interested party's rebuttal,
clarification or correction. Commerce will reject any untimely filed
rebuttal, clarification, or correction submission and provide, to the
extent practicable, written notice stating the reasons for rejection.
If insufficient time remains before the due date for the final
determination or final results of review, Commerce may specify shorter
deadlines under this section.
Extension of Time Limits Regulation
Parties may request an extension of time limits before a time limit
established under Part 351 expires, or as otherwise specified by
Commerce.\10\ In general, an extension request will be considered
untimely if it is filed after the time limit established under Part 351
expires. For submissions which are due from multiple parties
simultaneously, an extension request will be considered untimely if it
is filed after 10:00 a.m. on the due date. Examples include, but are
not limited to: (1) case and rebuttal briefs, filed pursuant to 19 CFR
351.309; (2) factual information to value factors under 19 CFR
351.408(c), or to measure the adequacy of remuneration under 19 CFR
351.511(a)(2), filed pursuant to 19 CFR 351.301(c)(3) and rebuttal,
clarification and correction filed pursuant to 19 CFR
351.301(c)(3)(iv); (3) comments concerning the selection of a surrogate
country and surrogate values and rebuttal; (4) comments concerning CBP
data; and (5) Q&V questionnaires. Under certain circumstances, Commerce
may elect to specify a different time limit by which extension requests
will be considered untimely for submissions which are due from multiple
parties simultaneously. In such a case, Commerce will inform parties in
the letter or memorandum setting forth the deadline (including a
specified time) by which extension requests must be filed to be
considered timely. This policy also requires that an extension request
must be made in a separate, standalone submission, and clarifies the
circumstances under which Commerce will grant untimely-filed requests
for the extension of time limits. Please review the Final Rule,
available at https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2013-09-20/html/2013-22853.htm, prior to submitting factual information in these segments.
