the People’s Republic of China: Final 

Results of Antidumping Duty 

Administrative Review 

AGENCY: Import Administration, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: On September 14, 2010, the 

U.S. Department of Commerce (the 

Department) published the preliminary 

results of the 2008—2009 administrative 

review of the antidumping duty order 

on floor-standing, metal-top ironing 

tables from the People’s Republic of 

China (PRC). See Floor-Standing, MetalTop Ironing Tables and Certain Parts 

Thereof From the People’s Republic of 

China: Preliminary Results of 

Antidumping Duty Administrative 

Review, 75 FR 55754 (September 14, 

2010) (AR5 Preliminary Results). This 

review covers two exporters, Foshan 

Shunde Yongjian Housewares & 

Hardwares Co., Ltd. (Foshan Shunde) 

and Since Hardware (Guangzhou) Co., 

Ltd. (Since Hardware). The period of 

review (POR) is August 1, 2008, through 

July 31, 2009. We invited interested 

parties to comment on the Preliminary 

Results. 

Based on our analysis of the 

comments received, we have made 

changes in the margin calculations. 

Therefore, the Final Results differ from 

the Preliminary Results. The weighted 

average dumping margins are listed 

below in the section entitled ‘‘Final 

Results of Review’’. 

DATES: Effective Date: March 21, 2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On September 14, 2010, the 

Department published the preliminary 

results of this administrative review. 

See AR5 Preliminary Results. The 

merchandise covered by the order is 

floor-standing, metal-top ironing tables 

and certain parts thereof from the PRC, 

as described in the ‘‘Scope of the Order’’ 

section of the this notice. The period of 

review (POR) is August 1, 2008, through 

July 31, 2009. This administrative 

review covers Foshan Shunde and Since 

Hardware. 

In the Preliminary Results, we invited 

parties to comment. Additionally, on 

October 22, 2010 we issued to interested 

parties a memorandum detailing the 

industry-specific wage rates that the 

Department intended to use in these 

Final Results. See October 22, 2010, 

Memorandum from Michael J. Heaney 

to the File: ‘‘08/01/2008/07/31/2009 

Review of the Antidumping Duty Order 

on Floor Standing Metal Top Ironing 

Tables from the People’s Republic of 

China: Industry Specific Wage Rate 

Selection.’’ We invited interested parties 

to comment on the Department’s 

calculation of industry specific wage 

rates that are outlined in our October 22, 

2010, Industry Specific Wage Rate 

Memorandum. On November 3, 2010, 

we extended the due date for filing case 

briefs until November 15, 2010. In 

response, on November 15, 2010, the 

Department received respective case 

briefs from Foshan Shunde and from 

Home Products International (the 

Petitioner in this case).1 Petitioner, 

Foshan Shunde, and Since Hardware 

submitted rebuttal briefs on November 

22, 2010. On December 27, 2010, the 

Department extended the time frame for 

the final results of review by an 

additional 60 days. See Floor-Standing 

Metal-Top Ironing Tables and Certain 

Parts Thereof from the People’s 

Republic of China: Extension of Time 

Limit for the Final Results of 

Administrative Review, 75 FR 81212 

(December 27, 2010). 

Scope of the Order 

For purposes of the order, the product 

covered consists of floor-standing, 

metal-top ironing tables, assembled or 

unassembled, complete or incomplete, 

and certain parts thereof. The subject 

tables are designed and used principally 

for the hand ironing or pressing of 

garments or other articles of fabric. The 

subject tables have full-height leg 

assemblies that support the ironing 

surface at an appropriate (often 

adjustable) height above the floor. The 

subject tables are produced in a variety 

of leg finishes, such as painted, plated, 

or matte, and they are available with 

various features, including iron rests, 

linen racks, and others. The subject 

ironing tables may be sold with or 

without a pad and/or cover. All types 

and configurations of floor-standing, 

metal-top ironing tables are covered by 

this review. 

Furthermore, the order specifically 

covers imports of ironing tables, 

assembled or unassembled, complete or 

incomplete, and certain parts thereof. 

For purposes of the order, the term 

‘‘unassembled’’ ironing table means a 

product requiring the attachment of the 

leg assembly to the top or the 

attachment of an included feature such 

as an iron rest or linen rack. The term 

‘‘complete’’ ironing table means product 

sold as a ready-to-use ensemble 

consisting of the metal-top table and a 

pad and cover, with or without 

additional features, e.g., iron rest or 

linen rack. The term ‘‘incomplete’’ 

ironing table means product shipped or 

sold as a ‘‘bare board’’—i.e., a metal-top 

table only, without the pad and cover— 

with or without additional features, e.g. 

iron rest or linen rack. The major parts 

or components of ironing tables that are 

intended to be covered by the order 

under the term ‘‘certain parts thereof’’ 

consist of the metal top component 

(with or without assembled supports 

and slides) and/or the leg components, 

whether or not attached together as a leg 

assembly. The order covers separately 

shipped metal top components and leg 

components, without regard to whether 

the respective quantities would yield an 

exact quantity of assembled ironing 

tables. 

Ironing tables without legs (such as 

models that mount on walls or over 

doors) are not floor-standing and are 

specifically excluded. Additionally, 

tabletop or countertop models with 

short legs that do not exceed 12 inches 

in length (and which may or may not 

collapse or retract) are specifically 

excluded. 

The subject ironing tables were 

previously classified under Harmonized 

Tariff Schedule of the United States 

(HTSUS) subheading 9403.20.0010. 

Effective July 1, 2003, the subject 

ironing tables are classified under new 

HTSUS subheading 9403.20.0011. The 

subject metal top and leg components 

are classified under HTSUS subheading 

9403.90.8040. Although the HTSUS 

subheadings are provided for 

convenience and for Customs and 

Border Protection (CBP) purposes, the 

Department’s written description of the 

scope remains dispositive. 

Separate Rates 

Foshan Shunde and Since Hardware 

requested a separate, company-specific 

antidumping duty rate. In the AR5 

Preliminary Results, we found that both 

mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with NOTICES

15298 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 54 / Monday, March 21, 2011 / Notices 

Foshan Shunde and Since Hardware 

had met the criteria for the application 

of a separate antidumping duty rate. See 

Preliminary Results, 75 FR at 55755– 

55756. We verified Foshan Sunde’s and 

Since Hardware’s separate rate 

responses and found no discrepancies. 

Further, we have not received any 

information since the Preliminary 

Results with respect to Foshan Shunde 

or Since Hardware that would warrant 

reconsideration of our separate-rates 

determination. Therefore, we have 

assigned an individual dumping margin 

to Foshan Shunde and Since Hardware 

for this review period. 

Analysis of Comments Received 

All issues raised in the case briefs by 

the parties and to which we have 

responded are addressed in the 

Memorandum to Ronald K. Lorentzen, 

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import 

Administration, from Christian Marsh, 

Deputy Assistant Secretary for 

Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 

Operations, entitled ‘‘Issues and 

Decision Memorandum for the Final 

Results in the Administrative Review of 

Floor-Standing, Metal-Top Ironing 

Tables and Certain Parts Thereof from 

the People’s Republic of China,’’ 

(March 14, 2011) (Issues and Decision 

Memorandum), which is hereby 

adopted by this notice. A list of the 

issues raised, all of which are in the 

Issues and Decision Memorandum, is 

attached to this notice as Appendix I. 

Parties can find a complete discussion 

of all issues raised in the briefs and the 

corresponding recommendations in this 

public memorandum, which is on file in 

the Central Records Unit (CRU), room 

7046 of the Department of Commerce. In 

addition, a complete version of the 

Issues and Decision Memorandum can 

be accessed directly on the Web at 

http://trade.gov/ia. The paper copy and 

electronic version of the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum are identical in 

content. 

Changes Since the Preliminary Results 

Based on the comments received from 

interested parties, we have made the 

following changes from that presented 

in our Preliminary Results: 

For both Foshan Shunde and Since 

Hardware, we have based our 

calculations of labor inputs on industryspecific wage rates using the 

methodology set forth in our Industry 

Specific Wage Rate Memorandum. 

For both Foshan Shunde and Since 

Hardware, we have revised our 

calculation of brokerage and handling 

and applied these charges according to 

the weight of the merchandise and the 

container size of the shipment. 

For both Foshan Shunde and Since 

Hardware, we have corrected an error in 

our calculation of the surrogate value of 

water. 

For Foshan Shunde we have revised 

the cotton conversion factor used in our 

calculations. 

For Foshan Shunde, we have 

included the cost of cartons in our 

calculation of packing charges. 

Final Results of Review 

We determine that the following 

antidumping duty margins exist in these 

final results: 

Exporter Margin 

(percent) 

Foshan Shunde .......................... 18.76 

Since Hardware .......................... 70.05 

For details on the calculation of the 

antidumping duty weighted-average 

margin for Foshan Shunde and Since 

Hardware, see Memorandum to the File 

from Michael J. Heaney, Senior 

International Trade Compliance 

Analyst; ‘‘Floor-Standing, Metal-Top 

Ironing Tables and Certain Parts Thereof 

From the People’s Republic of China: 

Foshan Shunde Yongjian Housewares & 

Hardware Co., (Foshan Shunde) 

Analysis Memorandum for the Final 

Results,’’ dated March 14 2011; see also 

Memorandum to the File from Michael 

J. Heaney, Senior International Trade 

Compliance Analyst; ‘‘Floor-Standing,

Republic of China: Since Hardware 

(Guangzhou) Co., Ltd. (Since Hardware) 

Analysis Memorandum for the Final 

Results.’’ The public versions of both 

memoranda are on file in the CRU. 

Assessment Rates 

Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the 

Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act) 

and 19 CFR 351.212(b), the Department 

will determine, and CBP shall assess, 

antidumping duties on all appropriate 

entries. The Department intends to issue 

assessment instructions to CBP 15 days 

after the date of publication of these 

final results of review. For assessment 

purposes, where possible, we calculated 

importer-specific assessment rates for 

subject ironing tables from the PRC via 

ad valorem duty assessment rates based 

on the ratio of the total amount of the 

dumping margins calculated for the 

examined sales to the total entered 

value of those same sales. We will 

instruct CBP to assess antidumping 

duties on all appropriate entries covered 

by this review. 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following cash deposit 

requirements will be effective upon 

publication of these final results of this 

administrative review for all shipments 

of the subject merchandise entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after the publication 

date, as provided for by section 

751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For Foshan 

Shunde the cash deposit rate will be 

18.76 percent; (2) for Since Hardware, 

the cash deposit rate will be 70. 05 

percent; (3) for previously-investigated 

or reviewed PRC and non-PRC exporters 

not listed above that have separate rates, 

the cash deposit rate will continue to be 

the exporter-specific rate published for 

the most recent period; (4) for all PRC 

exporters of subject merchandise that 

have not been found to be entitled to a 

separate rate, the cash deposit rate will 

be the PRC-wide rate of 157.68 percent; 

and (5) for all non-PRC exporters of 

subject merchandise which have not 

received their own rate, the cash deposit 

rate will be the rate applicable to the 

PRC exporters that supplied that nonPRC exporter. These deposit 

requirements, when imposed, shall 

remain in effect until further notice. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

This notice also serves as the final 

reminder to importers 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 

presumption that reimbursement of 

antidumping duties occurred and in the 

subsequent assessment of double 

antidumping duties. 

This notice also serves as the only 

reminder to parties subject to 

administrative protective order (APO) of 

their responsibility concerning the 

return or destruction or conversion to 

judicial protective order 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 the terms of an 

APO is a sanctionable violation. 

This administrative review and this 

notice are published in accordance with 

sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the 

Act.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On December 1, 2010, the Department 

of Commerce (the Department) 

published a notice of opportunity to 

request an administrative review of the 

countervailing duty (CVD) order on 

certain hot-rolled carbon steel flat 

products from India. See Antidumping 

or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, 

or Suspended Investigation; 

Opportunity To Request Administrative 

Review, 75 FR 74682 (December 1, 

2010). On January 3, 2011, we received 

from United States Steel Corporation, a 

domestic producer of subject 

merchandise, a request that the 

Department conduct an administrative 

review of Ispat Industries Limited 

(Ispat), for the review period January 1, 

2010, through December 31, 2010. 

On January 28, 2011, the Department 

published the notice of initiation of the 

administrative review of the CVD order 

covering Ispat for the period January 1, 

2010, through December 31, 2010. See 

Initiation of Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Administrative 

Reviews, 76 FR 5137 (January 28, 2011). 

On February 4, 2011, Ispat notified the 

Department that it had no shipments of 

subject merchandise to the United 

States during the period of review 

(POR).1

Scope of the Order 

The products covered under this 

order are certain hot-rolled flat-rolled 

carbon steel flat products of a 

rectangular shape, of a width of 0.5 inch 

or greater, neither clad, plated, nor 

coated with metal and whether or not 

painted, varnished, or coated with 

plastics or other non-metallic 

substances, in coils (whether or not in 

successively superimposed layers), 

regardless of thickness, and in straight 

lengths, of a thickness of less than 4.75 

mm and of a width measuring at least 

10 times the thickness. Universal mill 

plate (i.e., flat-rolled products rolled on 

four faces or in a closed box pass, of a 

width exceeding 150 mm, but not 

exceeding 1250 mm, and of a thickness 

of not less than 4 mm, not in coils and 

without patterns in relief) of a thickness 

not less than 4.0 mm is not included 

within the scope of this order. 

Specifically included within the 

scope of this order are vacuum 

degassed, fully stabilized (commonly 

referred to as interstitial-free (IF)) steels, 

high strength low alloy (HSLA) steels, 

and the substrate for motor lamination 

steels. IF steels are recognized as low 

carbon steels with micro-alloying levels 

of elements such as titanium or niobium 

(also commonly referred to as 

columbium), or both, added to stabilize 

carbon and nitrogen elements. HSLA 

steels are recognized as steels with 

micro-alloying levels of elements such 

as chromium, copper, niobium, 

vanadium, and molybdenum. The 

substrate for motor lamination steels 

contains micro-alloying levels of 

elements such as silicon and aluminum. 

Steel products to be included in the 

scope of this order, regardless of 

definitions in the Harmonized Tariff 

Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), 

are products in which: (i) Iron 

predominates, by weight, over each of 

the other contained elements; (ii) the 

carbon content is 2 percent or less, by 

weight; and (iii) none of the elements 

listed below exceeds the quantity, by 

weight, respectively indicated: 

1.80 percent of manganese, or 

2.25 percent of silicon, or 

1.00 percent of copper, or 

0.50 percent of aluminum, or 

1.25 percent of chromium, or 

0.30 percent of cobalt, or 

0.40 percent of lead, or 

1.25 percent of nickel, or 

0.30 percent of tungsten, or 

0.10 percent of molybdenum, or 

0.10 percent of niobium, or 

0.15 percent of vanadium, or 

0.15 percent of zirconium. 

All products that meet the physical 

and chemical description provided 

above are within the scope of this order 

unless otherwise excluded. The 

following products, by way of example, 

are outside or specifically excluded 

from the scope of this order: 

• Alloy hot-rolled steel products in 

which at least one of the chemical 

elements exceeds those listed above 

(including, e.g., ASTM specifications
