Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 75 / Thursday, April 19, 2007 / Notices 19689 

751(a)(3)(A) of the Act further states that 

if it is not practicable to complete the 

review within the time period specified, 

the administering authority may extend 

the 245-day period to issue its 

preliminary results by up to 120 days. 

We determine that completion of the 

preliminary results of this review within 

the 245-day period is not practicable for 

the following reasons. This review 

covers three companies, and to conduct 

the sales and cost analyses for each 

company requires the Department to 

gather, analyze and verify a significant 

amount of information pertaining to 

each company’s sales practices, 

manufacturing costs and corporate 

relationships. Given the number and 

complexity of issues in this case, and in 

accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of 

the Act, we are extending the time 

period for issuing the preliminary 

results of review by 120 days. Therefore, 

the preliminary results are now due no 

later than August 31, 2007. The final 

results continue to be due 120 days after 

publication of the preliminary results. 

Dated: April 11, 2007.

Administration.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On March 21, 2007, the Department 

published the Final Results and 

corresponding issues and decision 

memorandum. See Memorandum to 

David M. Spooner, Assistant Secretary 

for Import Administration, from 

Stephen J. Claeys, Deputy Assistant 

Secretary for Import Administration, 

titled Issues and Decision Memorandum 

for the Final Results in the First 

Administrative Review of Floor–

standing, Metal–top Ironing Tables and 

Certain Parts Thereof from the People’s 

Republic of China (March 12, 2007). 

On March 27, 2007, Since Hardware 

filed a timely allegation that the 

Department made certain ministerial 

errors in the Final Results. On March 27, 

2007, petitioner Home Products 

International, Inc. filed rebuttal 

comments to the ministerial error 

allegations submitted by Since 

Hardware. No other interested party 

submitted ministerial error allegations 

or comments. 

Scope of Order 

For purposes of this review, 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, this scope specifically 

covers imports of ironing tables, 

assembled or unassembled, complete or 

incomplete, and certain parts thereof. 

For purposes of this review, 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 

this 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 scope 

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. 

Ministerial Errors 

A ministerial error is defined in 

section 751(h) of the Tariff Act of 1930, 

as amended (the Act), and further 

clarified in 19 CFR 351.224(f) as ‘‘an 

error in addition, subtraction, or other 

arithmetic function, clerical error 

resulting from inaccurate copying, 

duplication, or the like, and any other 

similar type of unintentional error

2 ITI, Ashley and Fibertex are interested parties 

who are U.S. importers of PSF. Ashley and Fibertex 

submitted joint case briefs. 

which the Secretary considers 

ministerial.’’

After analyzing all interested parties’

comments, we have determined, in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(e), that 

while some alleged errors were not 

ministerial, by definition, (i.e., surrogate 

financial ratio calculations and not 

providing an opportunity for comment 

on a certain issue), one ministerial error 

existed with respect to the calculation of 

the surrogate value for cold–rolled steel 

that was used in the Since Hardware 

margin calculation for the Final Results. 

For a detailed discussion of these 

ministerial error allegations, as well as 

the Department’s analysis, see

Director, AD/CVD Operations, Office 9,
