1See Notice of Antidumping Duty Order: Steel 

Wire Garment Hangers from the People’s Republic 

of China, 73 FR 58111 (Oct. 6, 2008) (‘‘Order’’). 

2The Department received requests from 

American Hanger and Fixture Corporation on 

December 1, 2008, and from Econoco Corporation 

on December 3, 2008, for a scope ruling on whether 

its imports of chrome-plated hangers with a 

diameter of 4.0 mm and 3.4 mm, respectively, are 

covered by the Order. However, because the 

Department is, herein, revoking the Order, in part, 

as it applies to imports of chrome-plated steel wire 

garment hangers with a diameter of 3.4 mm or 

greater, we find that it is unnecessary to 

individually examine these scope requests as the 

products in question have been excluded from the 

scope of the Order through the final results of this 

changed circumstances review. 

the PRC to the United States, the cash 

deposit rate will be the rate applicable 

to the PRC exporter that supplied that 

non–PRC exporter. These deposit 

requirements, when imposed, shall 

remain in effect until further notice. 

REIMBURSEMENT OF DUTIES 

This notice serves as a final reminder 

to importers of their responsibility 

under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a 

certificate regarding the reimbursement 

of antidumping duties prior to 

liquidation of the relevant entries 

during this POR. Failure to comply with 

this requirement could result in the 

Sectary’s presumption that 

reimbursement of antidumping duties 

occurred and the subsequent assessment 

of double antidumping duties. 

ADMINISTRATIVE PROTECTIVE 

ORDERS 

This notice also serves as a reminder 

to parties subject to administrative 

protective orders (‘‘APO’’) of their 

responsibility concerning the return or 

destruction of proprietary information 

disclosed under APO in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.305, which continues 

to govern business proprietary 

information in this segment of the 

proceeding. 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 violation, 

which is subject to sanction. 

We are issuing and publishing this 

determination in accordance with 

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

and 351.221(b)(5). 

Dated: September 25, 2009.

Background 2

On February 3, 2009, the Department 

received a request on behalf of M&B 

Metal Products Company, Inc. 

(‘‘Petitioner’’), for revocation, in part, of 

the Order, pursuant to sections 751(b)(1) 

and 782(h) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 

amended (‘‘Act’’), with respect to 

chrome-plated steel wire garment 

hangers with a diameter of 3.4 mm or 

greater. In its submission, Petitioner 

stated that it no longer had any interest 

in seeking antidumping relief from 

imports of such chrome-plated steel 

wire garment hangers, as defined in the 

‘‘Scope of the Amended Order’’ section 

below. Petitioner further stated that 

domestic producers Shanti Industries 

Inc. (‘‘Shanti’’) and Metro Supply 

Company (‘‘Metro’’) (collectively, 

‘‘Supporters’’) support the request for a 

changed circumstances review that it 

filed on February 3, 2009. Additionally, 

Petitioner stated in its request that 

together it and the Supporters account 

for substantially all of the steel wire 

garment hangers production in the 

United States. 

On March 19, 2009, the Department 

published a notice of Initiation and 

Preliminary Results of changed 

circumstances review with intent to 

revoke, in part, the Order with regard to 

chrome-plated steel wire garment 

hangers with a diameter of 3.4 mm or 

greater. We invited parties to comment 

on the preliminary results. 

On April 1, 2009, the Department 

received comments from Merrick 

Engineering, Inc. (‘‘Merrick’’) in 

opposition to the changed 

circumstances review, challenging 

Petitioner and Supporters’ claim that 

they represent substantially all 

production of the domestic like product. 

The Department received surrebuttal 

comments from Econoco Corporation on 

April 8, 2009, and from both Petitioner 

and Target Corporation on April 13, 

2009. 

On May 29, 2009, the Department 

requested domestic production data for 

the period April 1, 2008, through March 

31, 2009, from Merrick and Petitioner. 

On June 5, 2009, and June 8, 2009, 

Petitioner and Merrick submitted 

responses to the Department’s request 

for additional production information, 

respectively. On July 8, 2009, the 

Department requested that Petitioner 

and Merrick each submit their domestic 

production data, for the period April 1, 

2008, through March 31, 2009, in the 

form of individual monthly production 

totals. On July 15, 2009, Merrick 

submitted its monthly production data 

to the Department. On July 15, 2009, 

Petitioner submitted monthly 

production data for itself and the 

companies Shanti, and Ganchos N.V. 

(‘‘Ganchos’’). On July 17, 2009, 

Petitioner resubmitted its, Shanti’s, and 

Ganchos’ monthly production data and 

included monthly production data for 

Metro. On August 19, 2009, Merrick

withdrew its opposition 3 to the partial 

revocation of the Order with respect to 

chrome-plated steel wire garment 

hangers with a diameter of 3.4 mm or 

greater. 

On September 3, 2009, the 

Department requested comments from 

Petitioner with regard to the effective 

date for the final results of this changed 

circumstances review. On September 9, 

2009, Petitioner submitted a letter in 

which it stated that it took no position 

regarding the effective date for the final 

results in this changed circumstances 

review. On September 11, 2009, the 

Department received comments from 

Target Corporation requesting that the 

final results of this changed 

circumstances review be applied 

retroactively to all unliquidated entries. 

Scope of the Changed Circumstances 

Review 

The merchandise covered by this 

changed circumstances review is steel 

wire garment hangers from the PRC 

meeting the following criteria: the steel 

wire garment hanger must be chromeplated with a diameter of 3.4 mm or 

greater. Effective upon publication of 

these final results of changed 

circumstances review in the Federal 

Register, the amended scope of the 

Order will read as stated below. 

Scope of the Amended Order 

The merchandise that is subject to the 

order is steel wire garment hangers, 

fabricated from carbon steel wire, 

whether or not galvanized or painted, 

whether or not coated with latex or 

epoxy or similar gripping materials, 

and/or whether or not fashioned with 

paper covers or capes (with or without 

printing) and/or nonslip features such 

as saddles or tubes. These products may 

also be referred to by a commercial 

designation, such as shirt, suit, strut, 

caped, or latex (industrial) hangers. 

Specifically excluded from the scope of 

the order are wooden, plastic, and other 

garment hangers that are not made of 

steel wire. Also excluded from the scope 

of the order are chrome-plated steel wire 

garment hangers with a diameter of 3.4 

mm or greater. The products subject to 

the order are currently classified under 

HTSUS subheadings 7326.20.0020 and 

7323.99.9060. 

Although the HTSUS subheadings are 

provided for convenience and customs 

purposes, the written description of the 

merchandise is dispositive. 

Final Results of Changed 

Circumstances Review; Partial 

Revocation of Antidumping Duty Order 

In accordance with section 751(b) of 

the Act and 19 CFR 351.222(g), the 

Department continues to find, as it did 

in the Initiation and Preliminary 

Results, that U.S. producers 

representing substantially all of the 

production of the domestic like product 

pertaining to the part of the Order to be 

revoked have expressed a lack of 

interest in the part of the revoked Order. 

Specifically, we find that Petitioner and 

Supporters represent substantially all 

U.S. production of the like product, 

have expressed an affirmative statement 

of no interest concerning chrome-plated 

steel wire garment hangers with a 

diameter of 3.4 mm or greater, as 

described herein, and that this 

constitutes changed circumstances 

sufficient to warrant revocation of this 

Order in part. Additionally, although 

the Department requested domestic 

production data from Merrick and 

Petitioner, Merrick subsequently 

withdrew its opposition to Petitioner’s 

request to revoke the Order, in part. 

Therefore, the Department finds that 

there is no domestic industry 

opposition, on the record of this review, 

to Petitioner’s request to revoke the 

Order, in part, with regard to chromeplated steel wire garment hangers with 

a diameter of 3.4 mm or greater. 

Accordingly, the Department is partially 

revoking the Order on steel wire 

garment hangers from the PRC with 

respect to chrome-plated steel wire 

garment hangers with a diameter of 3.4 

mm or greater, in accordance with 

sections 751(b), (d) and 782(h) of the 

Act, and 19 CFR 351.216(d) and 

351.222(g) of the Department’s 

regulations. 

In this changed circumstances review 

we are revoking the Order, in part, 

retroactively, in accordance with our 

normal practice for this type of changed 

circumstances review,4 to March 25, 

2008, (the effective date of the 

Preliminary Determination 5 in the 

original less-than-fair-valueinvestigation) because entries on or after 

this date are not yet subject to a final 

determination of the amount of 

antidumping duty by the Department. 

We will instruct the U.S. Customs and 

Border Protection to liquidate without 

regard to antidumping duties, as 

applicable, and to refund any estimated 

cash deposits collected for all 

unliquidated entries of chrome-plated 

steel wire garment hangers with a 

diameter of 3.4 mm or greater, meeting 

the specifications indicated above, made 

on or after March 25, 2008, in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.222. 

This notice also serves as a reminder 

to parties subject to administrative 

protective orders (‘‘APO’’s) 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. 

This changed circumstances 

administrative review, partial 

revocation of the antidumping duty 

order and notice are in accordance with 

sections 751(b), (d) and 782(h) of the 

Act, and 19 CFR 351.216(e) and 

351.222(g).
