circumstances review (CCR) and intent to revoke, in part, the 
antidumping duty (``AD'') order on wooden bedroom furniture from the 
People's Republic of China (``PRC'') \1\ with respect to certain

domestic like product to which the Order pertains lacked interest in 
the relief provided by the Order with respect to certain jewelry

comment on the Preliminary Results. No party submitted comments. For 
the final results, the Department is revoking, in part, the Order as to

Background

    On January 4, 2005, the Department published the Order in the 
Federal Register. On February 13, 2015, the Department received a 
request on behalf of Pier 1 Imports (U.S.), Inc. (``Pier One'') for a 
CCR to revoke, in part, the Order with respect to jewelry armoires with 
at least one front door.\3\ On April 2, 2015, the Department published 
the Initiation Notice for the requested CCR in the Federal Register.\4\ 
On August 11, 2015, the Department published the Preliminary Results of 
this CCR in which it found that producers accounting for substantially 
all of the production of the domestic like product lack interest in the 
relief afforded by the Order with respect to certain jewelry armoires 
that have at least one front door as described in Pier One's 
Request.\5\ The Department invited interested parties to submit 
comments on the Preliminary Results in accordance with 19 CFR 
351.309(c)(1)(ii). We received no comments.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See Submission from Pier One, ``Wooden Bedroom Furniture 
From the People's Republic of China; Request for a Changed 
Circumstance Review as to Certain Additional Jewelry Armoires,''

Final Results of Changed Circumstances Review, and Revocation of the 
Order, in Part

    Because no party submitted comments opposing the Department's 
Preliminary Results, and the record contains no other information or 
evidence that calls into question the Preliminary Results, the 
Department determines pursuant to section 751(d)(1) of the Tariff Act 
of 1930, as amended (the ``Act''), and 19 CFR 351.222(g), that there 
are changed circumstances that warrant revocation of the Order, in 
part. Specifically, because the producers accounting for substantially 
all of the production of the domestic like product to which the Order 
pertains, lack interest in the relief provided by the Order with 
respect to the following type

[[Page 57151]]

of jewelry armoire, we are revoking the Order, in part with respect to 
any armoire, cabinet or other accent item for the purpose of storing 
jewelry, not to exceed 24 inches in width, 18 inches in depth, and 49 
inches in height, including a minimum of 5 lined drawers lined with 
felt or felt-like material, at least one side door or one front door

do not include a mattress. Wood panels of enclosable wall bed units, 
when imported separately, remain subject to the order.

    \15\ As used herein, bentwood means solid wood made pliable. 
Bentwood is wood that is brought to a curved shape by bending it

dated May 17, 1976.
    \16\ Any armoire, cabinet or other accent item for the purpose

LaCivita to Laurie Parkhill, Office Director, concerning ``Jewelry 
Armoires and Cheval Mirrors in the Antidumping Duty Investigation of 
Wooden Bedroom Furniture from the People's Republic of China,'' 
dated August 31, 2004. See also Wooden Bedroom Furniture From the 
People's Republic of China: Final Changed Circumstances Review, and 
Determination To Revoke Order in Part, 71 FR 38621 (July 7, 2006).
    \17\ Cheval mirrors are any framed, tiltable mirror with a 
height in excess of 50 inches that is mounted on a floor-standing, 
hinged base. Additionally, the scope of the order excludes 
combination cheval mirror/jewelry cabinets. The excluded merchandise 
is an integrated piece consisting of a cheval mirror, i.e., a framed 
tiltable mirror with a height in excess of 50 inches, mounted on a 
floor-standing, hinged base, the cheval mirror serving as a door to 
a cabinet back that is integral to the structure of the mirror and 
which constitutes a jewelry cabinet line with fabric, having 
necklace and bracelet hooks, mountings for rings and shelves, with 
or without a working lock and key to secure the contents of the 
jewelry cabinet back to the cheval mirror, and no drawers anywhere 
on the integrated piece. The fully assembled piece must be at least 
50 inches in height, 14.5 inches in width, and 3 inches in depth. 
See Wooden Bedroom Furniture From the People's Republic of China: 
Final Changed Circumstances Review and Determination To Revoke Order 
in Part, 72 FR 948 (January 9, 2007).
    \18\ Metal furniture parts and unfinished furniture parts made 
of wood products (as defined above) that are not otherwise 
specifically named in this scope (i.e., wooden headboards for beds, 
wooden footboards for beds, wooden side rails for beds, and wooden 
canopies for beds) and that do not possess the essential character 
of wooden bedroom furniture in an unassembled, incomplete, or 
unfinished form. Such parts are usually classified under HTSUS 
subheadings 9403.90.7005, 9403.90.7010, or 9403.90.7080.
    \19\ Upholstered beds that are completely upholstered, i.e., 
containing filling material and completely covered in sewn genuine 
leather, synthetic leather, or natural or synthetic decorative 
fabric. To be excluded, the entire bed (headboards, footboards, and 
side rails) must be upholstered except for bed feet, which may be of 
wood, metal, or any other material and which are no more than nine 
inches in height from the floor. See Wooden Bedroom Furniture from 
the People's Republic of China: Final Results of Changed 
Circumstances Review and Determination to Revoke Order in Part, 72 
FR 7013 (February 14, 2007).
    \20\ To be excluded the toy box must: (1) be wider than it is 
tall; (2) have dimensions within 16 inches to 27 inches in height, 
15 inches to 18 inches in depth, and 21 inches to 30 inches in 
width; (3) have a hinged lid that encompasses the entire top of the 
box; (4) not incorporate any doors or drawers; (5) have slow-closing 
safety hinges; (6) have air vents; (7) have no locking mechanism; 
and (8) comply with American Society for Testing and Materials 
(``ASTM'') standard F963-03. Toy boxes are boxes generally designed 
for the purpose of storing children's items such as toys, books, and 
playthings. See Wooden Bedroom Furniture from the People's Republic 
of China: Final Results of Changed Circumstances Review and 
Determination to Revoke Order in Part, 74 FR 8506 (February 25, 
2009). Further, as determined in the scope ruling memorandum 
``Wooden Bedroom Furniture from the People's Republic of China: 
Scope Ruling on a White Toy Box,'' dated July 6, 2009, the 
dimensional ranges used to identify the toy boxes that are excluded 
from the wooden bedroom furniture order apply to the box itself 
rather than the lid.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Also excluded from the scope are certain shoe cabinets 31.5-33.5 
inches wide by 15.5-17.5 inches deep by 34.5-36.5 inches high. They are 
designed strictly to store shoes, which are intended to be aligned in 
rows perpendicular to the wall along which the cabinet is positioned. 
Shoe cabinets do not have drawers, rods, or other indicia for the 
storage of clothing other than shoes. The cabinets are not designed, 
manufactured, or offered for sale in coordinated groups or sets and are 
made substantially of wood, have two to four shelves inside them, and 
are covered by doors. The doors often have blinds that are designed to 
allow air circulation and release of bad odors. The doors themselves 
may be made of wood or glass. The depth of the shelves does not exceed 
14 inches. Each shoe cabinet has doors, adjustable shelving, and 
ventilation holes.
    Imports of subject merchandise are classified under subheadings 
9403.50.9042 and 9403.50.9045 of the HTSUS as ``wooden . . . beds'' and 
under subheading 9403.50.9080 of the HTSUS as ``other . . . wooden 
furniture of a kind used in the bedroom.'' In addition, wooden 
headboards for beds, wooden footboards for beds, wooden side rails for 
beds, and wooden canopies for beds may also be entered under subheading 
9403.50.9042 or 9403.50.9045 of the HTSUS as ``parts of wood.'' Subject 
merchandise may also be entered under subheadings 9403.50.9041, 
9403.60.8081, 9403.20.0018, or 9403.90.8041. Further, framed glass 
mirrors may be entered under subheading 7009.92.1000 or 7009.92.5000 of 
the HTSUS as ``glass mirrors . . . framed.'' The order covers all 
wooden bedroom furniture meeting the above description, regardless of 
tariff classification. Although the HTSUS subheadings are provided for 
convenience and customs purposes, our written description of the scope 
of this proceeding is dispositive.

Instructions to U.S. Customs and Border Protection

    Because we determine that there are changed circumstances that 
warrant the revocation of the Order, in part, we will instruct U.S. 
Customs and Border Protection (``CBP'') to liquidate without regard to 
antidumping duties, and to refund any estimated antidumping duties on, 
all unliquidated entries of the merchandise covered by this revocation 
that are not covered by the final results of an administrative review 
or automatic liquidation.

Notification

    This notice serves as a reminder to parties subject to an 
administrative protective order (``APO'') of their responsibility 
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under 
APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.306. 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 sanctionable violation.
    We are issuing and publishing these final results and revocation, 
in part, and notice in accordance with sections 751(b) and 777(i) of 
the Act and 19 CFR 351.216, 19 CFR 351.221(c)(3), and 19 CFR 351.222.
