\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.

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:

Limited)

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

instant review.

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).
