SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On August 6, 2004, the Department published in the Federal Register 
an antidumping duty order on ironing tables from the PRC. See Notice of 
Amended Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value and 
Antidumping Duty Order: Floor-Standing, Metal-Top Ironing Tables and 
Certain Parts Thereof From the People's Republic of China, 69 FR 47868 
(August 6, 2004) (Ironing Tables Order). On August 1, 2006, the 
Department published a Notice of Opportunity to Request Administrative 
Review of Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or 
Suspended Investigation, 71 FR 43441.
    On August 2, 2006, Foshan Shunde, requested, in accordance with 19 
CFR 351.213(b)(2), an administrative review of the antidumping duty 
order on ironing tables from the PRC. On August 29, 2006, Since 
Hardware (Guangzhou) Co., Ltd. (Since Hardware) requested, in 
accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(b)(2), an administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order on ironing tables from the PRC. On August 31, 
2006, Home Products International Inc., petitioner, also requested, in 
accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(b)(1), an administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order on ironing tables from the PRC for Since 
Hardware for the POR. On September 29, 2006, the Department initiated 
an administrative review of the two companies. See Initiation of 
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews, 71 FR 57465 
(September 29, 2006).
    On December 21, 2006, Foshan Shunde filed a letter withdrawing its 
request. Foshan Shunde was the only party to request a review of 
entries of subject merchandise exported by Foshan Shunde.

Rescission of Review

    The applicable regulation, 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), states that if a 
party that requested an administrative review withdraws the request 
within 90 days of the publication of the notice of initiation of the 
requested review, the Secretary will rescind the review. Foshan Shunde 
timely filed a request withdrawing its request for an administrative 
review within the 90-day deadline, in accordance with 19 CFR 
351.213(d)(1). Because Foshan Shunde was the only party to request an 
administrative review, we are partially rescinding this review of the 
antidumping duty order on ironing tables from the PRC covering the 
period August 1, 2005, through July 31, 2006, with respect to Foshan 
Shunde.

Assessment

    The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
(CBP) to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. For the 
company for which this review is rescinded, 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)(2). The Department 
intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP 15 days after the date 
of publication of this notice.

Notification of Interested Parties

    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 review period. Failure to comply 
with this requirement could result in the Secretary's presumption that 
reimbursement of the antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent 
assessment of double antidumping duties.
    This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective orders (APOs) 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 that is subject to sanction.
    This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections 751 
and 777(i) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and 19 CFR 
351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: January 12, 2006.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
