SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On September 14, 2010, the 

Department published the preliminary 

results of this administrative review. 

See AR4 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 this notice. The period of 

review (POR) is August 1, 2007, through 

July 31, 2008. This administrative 

review covers 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 has used in these Final 

Results. See October 22, 2010, 

Memorandum from Michael J. Heaney 

to the File: ‘‘08/01/2007–07/31/2008 

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 a case brief from 

Home Products International (the 

Petitioner in this case).1 Petitioner, 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 

mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with NOTICES

15296 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 54 / Monday, March 21, 2011 / Notices 

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 

Since Hardware requested a separate, 

company-specific antidumping duty 

rate. In the AR4 Preliminary Results, we 

found that Since Hardware had met the 

criteria for the application of a separate 

antidumping duty rate. See Preliminary 

Results, 75 FR at 55761. 

We verified the separate rate 

information submitted by Since 

Hardware. See August 23, 2010 

Verification of the Sales and Factors 

Response of Since Hardware 

(Guangzhou) Co., Ltd. in the 

Antidumping Review of Floor Standing 

Metal Top Ironing Tables (Ironing 

Tables) and Certain Parts Thereof from 

the People’s Republic of China (PRC) 

(Since Hardware Verification Report) at 

6. 

Moreover, we have not received any 

information since the Preliminary 

Results with respect to Since Hardware 

that would warrant reconsideration of 

our separate-rates determination. 

Therefore, we have assigned an 

individual dumping margin to 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: 

We have based our calculations of 

labor inputs on industry specific wage 

rates. 

We have applied brokerage and 

handling charges according to the 

weight of the merchandise and the 

container size of the shipment. 

We have corrected an error in our 

calculation of the surrogate value of 

water. 

Final Results of Review 

We determine that the following 

antidumping duty margins exist in these 

final results: 

Exporter Margin 

(percent) 

Since Hardware .................... 67.37 

For details on the calculation of the 

antidumping duty weighted-average 

margin for 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: dated March 14, 

2011. The public version of this 

memorandum is 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. 

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. 

Dated: March 14, 2011. 

Kim Glas, 

Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import 

Administration.
