SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On December 16, 2019, Commerce published in the Federal Register
the antidumping duty order on mattresses from China.\1\ On December 1,
2023, Commerce published in the Federal Register a notice of
opportunity to request an administrative review of the Order.\2\ On
December 29, 2023, Commerce received a timely request from domestic
interested parties Corsicana Mattress Company, Future Foam Inc., FXI,
Inc., Kolcraft Enterprises Inc., Leggett & Platt, Incorporated, Serta
Simmons Bedding, LLC, and Tempur Sealy International, Inc.
(collectively, the petitioners), in accordance with 19 CFR
351.213(b)(1), to conduct an administrative review of the Order for 44
companies.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ See Mattresses from the People's Republic of China:
Antidumping Duty Order, 84 FR 68395 (December 16, 2019) (Order).
\2\ See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or
Suspended Investigation; Opportunity to Request Administrative
Review and Join Annual Inquiry Service List, 88 FR 83917 (December
1, 2023).
\3\ See Petitioners' Letter, ``Request for Administrative Review
of Antidumping Order,'' dated December 29, 2023.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On February 8, 2024, Commerce published in the Federal Register a
notice of initiation of administrative review with respect to imports
of mattresses exported by 44 companies, in accordance with section
751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), and 19 CFR
351.221(c)(1)(i).\4\ On February 27, 2024, we placed on the record U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) data for entries of mattresses from
China during the POR, showing no reviewable POR entries and invited
interested parties to comment.\5\ No interested party submitted
comments to Commerce regarding the CBP data.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Administrative Reviews, 89 FR 8641 (February 8, 2024) (Initiation
Notice).
\5\ See Memorandum, ``Release of Customs and Border Protection
Data,'' dated February 27, 2024.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On April 2, 2024, Commerce notified all interested parties of its
intent to rescind the instant review in full because there were no
reviewable, suspended entries of subject merchandise by any of the 44
companies listed in the Initiation Notice during the POR and invited
interested parties to comment.\6\ No interested party submitted
comments to Commerce in response to this notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ See Memorandum, ``Notice of Intent to Rescind Review,''
dated April 2, 2024.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rescission of Review
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), it is Commerce's practice to
rescind an administrative review of an antidumping duty order when
there are no reviewable entries of subject merchandise during the POR
for which liquidation is suspended.\7\ Normally, upon completion of an
administrative review, the suspended entries are liquidated at the
antidumping duty assessment rate calculated for the review period.\8\
Therefore, for an administrative review to be conducted, there must be
a reviewable, suspended entry that Commerce can instruct CBP to
liquidate at the antidumping duty assessment rate calculated for the
review period.\9\ As noted above, there were no entries of subject
merchandise for any of the 44 companies listed in the Initiation Notice
during the POR. Accordingly, in the absence of suspended entries of
subject merchandise during the POR, we are hereby rescinding this
administrative review, in its entirety, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.213(d)(3).

Assessment
Commerce will instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries. Antidumping duties shall be assessed 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). Commerce intends to issue
assessment instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days after the date
of publication of this rescission notice in the Federal Register.
Administrative Protective Order
This notice serves as the only 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 351.305(a)(3). Timely written
notification of the return or 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 subject
to sanction.
Notification to Interested Parties
This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).
