On February 7, 2017, the Department of Commerce (the ``Department'') published its notice of initiation and preliminary results of a changed circumstances review (``CCR'') of the antidumping duty (``AD'') order on wooden bedroom furniture (``WBF'') from the People's Republic of China (``PRC'') (Preliminary Results). The Department preliminarily determined that Yihua Lifestyle Technology Co., Ltd. (``Yihua Tech'') is the successor-in-interest to Guangdong Yihua Timber Industry Co., Ltd. (``Yihua Timber'') for purposes of the AD order on WBF from the PRC and, as such, is entitled to Yihua Timber's AD cash deposit rate with respect to entries of subject merchandise. We invited interested parties to comment on the Preliminary Results. As no parties submitted comments, and there is no other information or evidence on the record calling into question our Preliminary Results, the Department is making no changes to the Preliminary Results. For these final results, the Department continues to find that Yihua Tech is the successor-in-interest to Yihua Timber.

results of a changed circumstances review (``CCR'') of the antidumping 
duty (``AD'') order on wooden bedroom furniture (``WBF'') from the

AD order on WBF from the PRC and, as such, is entitled to Yihua 
Timber's AD cash deposit rate with respect to entries of subject 
merchandise. We invited interested parties to comment on the 
Preliminary Results. As no parties submitted comments, and there is no 
other information or evidence on the record calling into question our 
Preliminary Results, the Department is making no changes to the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On January 5, 2005, the Department published the AD order on WBF 
from the PRC.\1\ On July 28, 2016, Yihua Tech requested that the 
Department initiate an expedited CCR and determine that it is the 
successor-in-interest to Yihua Timber for purposes of determining AD 
liabilities.\2\ On February 7, 2017, the Department initiated a CCR and 
made a preliminary finding that Yihua Tech is the successor-in-interest 
to Yihua Timber and is entitled to Yihua Timber's AD cash deposit rate 
with respect to entries of subject merchandise.\3\ We provided 
interested parties 14 days from the date of publication of the 
Preliminary Results to submit case briefs. No interested parties 
submitted case briefs or requested a hearing.
