Administrative Protective Orders and 

Letters of Appearance 

Interested parties must submit 

applications for disclosure under 

administrative protective orders in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.305. On 

January 22, 2008, the Department 

published Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Proceedings: 

Documents Submission Procedures; 

APO Procedures, 73 FR 3634 (January 

22, 2008). Those procedures apply to 

administrative reviews included in this 

notice of initiation. Parties wishing to 

participate in any of these 

administrative reviews should ensure 

that they meet the requirements of these 

procedures (e.g., the filing of separate 

letters of appearance as discussed at 19 

CFR 351.103(d)). 

Revised Factual Information 

Requirements 

On April 10, 2013, the Department 

published Definition of Factual 

Information and Time Limits for 

Submission of Factual Information: 

Final Rule, 78 FR 21246 (April 10, 

2013), which modified two regulations 

related to antidumping and 

countervailing duty proceedings: The 

definition of factual information (19 

CFR 351.102(b)(21)), and the time limits 

for the submission of factual 

information (19 CFR 351.301). The final 

rule identifies five categories of factual 

information in 19 CFR 351.102(b)(21), 

which are summarized as follows: (i) 

Evidence submitted in response to 

questionnaires; (ii) evidence submitted 

in support of allegations; (iii) publicly 

available information to value factors 

under 19 CFR 351.408(c) or to measure 

the adequacy of remuneration under 19 

CFR 351.511(a)(2); (iv) evidence placed 

on the record by the Department; and (v) 

evidence other than factual information 

described in (i)–(iv). The final rule 

requires any party, when submitting 

factual information, to specify under 

which subsection of 19 CFR 

351.102(b)(21) the information is being 

submitted and, if the information is 

submitted to rebut, clarify, or correct 

factual information already on the 

record, to provide an explanation 

identifying the information already on 

the record that the factual information 

seeks to rebut, clarify, or correct. The 

final rule also modified 19 CFR 351.301 

so that, rather than providing general 

time limits, there are specific time limits 

based on the type of factual information 

being submitted. These modifications 

are effective for all segments initiated on 

or after May 10, 2013. Please review the 

final rule, available at http://

enforcement.trade.gov/frn/2013/

1304frn/2013-08227.txt, prior to 

submitting factual information in this 

segment. 

Any party submitting factual 

information in an antidumping duty or 

countervailing duty proceeding must 

certify to the accuracy and completeness 

of that information.4 Parties are hereby 

reminded that revised certification 

requirements are in effect for company/ 

government officials as well as their 

representatives. All segments of any 

antidumping duty or countervailing 

duty proceedings initiated on or after 

August 16, 2013, should use the formats 

for the revised certifications provided at 

the end of the Final Rule.5 The 

Department intends to reject factual 

submissions in any proceeding 

segments if the submitting party does 

not comply with applicable revised 

certification requirements. 

Revised Extension of Time Limits 

Regulation 

On September 20, 2013, the 

Department modified its regulation 

concerning the extension of time limits 

for submissions in antidumping and 

countervailing duty proceedings: Final 

Rule, 78 FR 57790 (September 20, 2013). 

The modification clarifies that parties 

may request an extension of time limits 

before a time limit established under 

Part 351 expires, or as otherwise 

specified by the Secretary. In general, an 

extension request will be considered 

untimely if it is filed after the time limit 

established under Part 351 expires. For 

submissions which are due from 

multiple parties simultaneously, an 

extension request will be considered 

untimely if it is filed after 10:00 a.m. on 

the due date. Examples include, but are 

not limited to: (1) Case and rebuttal 

briefs, filed pursuant to 19 CFR 351.309; 

(2) factual information to value factors 

under 19 CFR 351.408(c), or to measure 

the adequacy of remuneration under 19 

CFR 351.511(a)(2), filed pursuant to 19 

CFR 351.301(c)(3) and rebuttal, 

clarification and correction filed 

pursuant to 19 CFR 351.301(c)(3)(iv); (3) 

comments concerning the selection of a 

surrogate country and surrogate values 

and rebuttal; (4) comments concerning 

U.S. Customs and Border Protection 

data; and (5) quantity and value 

questionnaires. Under certain 

circumstances, the Department may 

elect to specify a different time limit by 

which extension requests will be 

considered untimely for submissions 

which are due from multiple parties 

simultaneously. In such a case, the 

Department will inform parties in the 

letter or memorandum setting forth the 

deadline (including a specified time) by 

which extension requests must be filed 

to be considered timely. This 

modification also requires that an 

extension request must be made in a 

separate, stand-alone submission, and 

clarifies the circumstances under which 

the Department will grant untimelyfiled requests for the extension of time 

limits. These modifications are effective 

for all segments initiated on or after 

October 21, 2013. Please review the 

final rule, available at http://www.gpo.

gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2013-09-20/html/

2013-22853.htm, prior to submitting 

factual information in these segments. 

These initiations and this notice are 

in accordance with section 751(a) of the 

Act (19 U.S.C. 1675(a)) and 19 CFR 

351.221(c)(1)(i).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On June 19, 2009, the Department 

published its final determination in the 

less-than-fair-value (‘‘LTFV’’) 

investigation of lawn groomers from the 

PRC.1 On August 3, 2009, the 

Department published the AD order on 

imports of lawn groomers from the 

PRC.2 There have been no 

administrative reviews since issuance of 

the Order. There have been no related 

findings or rulings (e.g., changed 

circumstances review, scope ruling, 

duty absorption review) since issuance 

of the Order. 

On July 1, 2014, the Department 

initiated the first five-year (‘‘sunset’’) 

review of the antidumping duty order 

on certain lawn groomers and certain 

parts thereof from the People’s Republic 

of China (‘‘PRC’’) pursuant to section 

751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 

amended (the ‘‘Act’’).3 As a result of its 

review, the Department determined that 

revocation of the antidumping duty 

order on lawn groomers from the PRC 

would likely lead to a continuation or 

recurrence of dumping and, therefore, 

notified the ITC of the magnitude of the 

margins likely to prevail should the 

order be revoked.4 On January 28, 2015, 

the ITC published its determination, 

pursuant to section 751(c) of the Act, 

that revocation of the antidumping duty 

order on lawn groomers from the PRC 

would likely lead to a continuation or 

recurrence of material injury to an 

industry in the United States within a 

reasonably foreseeable time.5

Scope of the Order 

The scope of this order covers certain 

non-motorized tow behind lawn 

groomers, manufactured from any 

material, and certain parts thereof. Lawn 

groomers are defined as lawn sweepers, 

aerators, dethatchers, and spreaders. 

Unless specifically excluded, lawn 

groomers that are designed to perform at 

least one of the functions listed above 

are included in the scope of this order, 

even if the lawn groomer is designed to 

perform additional non-subject 

functions (e.g., mowing). 

All lawn groomers are designed to 

incorporate a hitch, of any 

configuration, which allows the product 

to be towed behind a vehicle. Lawn 

groomers that are designed to 

incorporate both a hitch and a push 

handle, of any type, are also covered by 

the scope of this order. The hitch and 

handle may be permanently attached or 

removable, and they may be attached on 

opposite sides or on the same side of the 

lawn groomer. Lawn groomers designed 

to incorporate a hitch, but where the 

hitch is not attached to the lawn 

groomer, are also included in the scope 

of the order. 

Lawn sweepers consist of a frame, as 

well as a series of brushes attached to 

an axle or shaft which allows the 

brushing component to rotate. Lawn 

sweepers also include a container 

(which is a receptacle into which debris 

swept from the lawn or turf is 

deposited) supported by the frame. 

Aerators consist of a frame, as well as 

an aerating component that is attached 

to an axle or shaft which allows the 

aerating component to rotate. The 

aerating component is made up of a set 

of knives fixed to a plate (known as a 

‘‘plug aerator’’), a series of discs with 

protruding spikes (a ‘‘spike aerator’’), or 

any other configuration, that are 

designed to create holes or cavities in a 

lawn or turf surface. Dethatchers consist 

of a frame, as well as a series of tines 

designed to remove material (e.g., dead 

grass or leaves) or other debris from the 

lawn or turf. The dethatcher tines are 

attached to and suspended from the 

frame. Lawn spreaders consist of a 

frame, as well as a hopper (i.e., a 

container of any size, shape, or material) 

that holds a media to be spread on the 

lawn or turf. The media can be 

distributed by means of a rotating 

spreader plate that broadcasts the media 

(‘‘broadcast spreader’’), a rotating 

agitator that allows the media to be 

released at a consistent rate (‘‘drop 

spreader’’), or any other configuration. 

Lawn dethatchers with a net fullyassembled weight (i.e., without packing, 

additional weights, or accessories) of 

100 pounds or less are covered by the 

scope of the order. Other lawn 

groomers—sweepers, aerators, and 

spreaders—with a net fully-assembled 

weight (i.e., without packing, additional 

weights, or accessories) of 200 pounds 

or less are covered by the scope of the 

order. Also included in the scope of the 

order are modular units, consisting of a 

chassis that is designed to incorporate a 

hitch, where the hitch may or may not 

be included, which allows modules that 

perform sweeping, aerating, 

dethatching, or spreading operations to 

be interchanged. Modular units—when 

imported with one or more lawn 

grooming modules—with a fully 

assembled net weight (i.e., without 

packing, additional weights, or 

accessories) of 200 pounds or less when 

including a single module, are included 

in the scope of the order. Modular unit 

chasses, imported without a lawn 

grooming module and with a fully 

assembled net weight (i.e., without 

packing, additional weights, or 

accessories) of 125 pounds or less, are 

also covered by the scope of the order. 

When imported separately, modules 

that are designed to perform subject 

lawn grooming functions (i.e., sweeping, 

aerating, dethatching, or spreading), 

with a fully assembled net weight (i.e., 

without packing, additional weights, or 

accessories) of 75 pounds or less, and 

that are imported with or without a 

hitch, are also covered by the scope. 

Lawn groomers, assembled or 

unassembled, are covered by this order. 

For purposes of this order, 

‘‘unassembled lawn groomers’’ consist 

of either 1) all parts necessary to make 

a fully assembled lawn groomer, or 2) 

any combination of parts, constituting a 

less than complete, unassembled lawn 

groomer, with a minimum of two of the 

following ‘‘major components’’: 

(1) An assembled or unassembled brush 

housing designed to be used in a lawn 

sweeper, where a brush housing is defined as 

a component housing the brush assembly, 

and consisting of a wrapper which covers the 

brush assembly and two end plates attached 

to the wrapper; 

(2) a sweeper brush; 

(3) an aerator or dethatcher weight tray, or 

similar component designed to allow weights 

of any sort to be added to the unit; 

(4) a spreader hopper; 

(5) a rotating spreader plate or agitator, or 

other component designed for distributing 

media in a lawn spreader; 

(6) dethatcher tines; 

(7) aerator spikes, plugs, or other aerating 

component; or 

(8) a hitch, defined as a complete hitch 

assembly comprising of at least the following 

two major hitch components, tubing and a 

hitch plate regardless of the absence of minor 

components such as pin or fasteners. 

Individual hitch component parts, such as 

tubing, hitch plates, pins or fasteners are not 

covered by the scope.

lawn groomers that are individually

covered by this order under the term 

‘‘certain parts thereof’’ are: (1) Brush 

housings, where the wrapper and end 

plates incorporating the brush assembly 

may be individual pieces or a single 

piece; and (2) weight trays, or similar 

components designed to allow weights 

of any sort to be added to a dethatcher 

or an aerator unit. 

The scope of this order specifically 

excludes the following: (1) Agricultural 

implements designed to work (e.g., 

churn, burrow, till, etc.) soil, such as 

cultivators, harrows, and plows; (2) 

lawn or farm carts and wagons that do 

not groom lawns; (3) grooming products 

incorporating a motor or an engine for 

the purpose of operating and/or 

propelling the lawn groomer; (4) lawn 

groomers that are designed to be hand 

held or are designed to be attached 

directly to the frame of a vehicle, rather 

than towed; (5) ‘‘push’’ lawn grooming 

products that incorporate a push handle 

rather than a hitch, and which are 

designed solely to be manually 

operated; (6) dethatchers with a net 

assembled weight (i.e., without packing, 

additional weights, or accessories) of 

more than 100 pounds, or lawn 

groomers—sweepers, aerators, and 

spreaders—with a net fully-assembled 

weight (i.e., without packing, additional 

weights, or accessories) of more than 

200 pounds; and (7) lawn rollers 

designed to flatten grass and turf, 

including lawn rollers which 

incorporate an aerator component (e.g., 

‘‘drum-style’’ spike aerators). 

The lawn groomers that are the 

subject of this order are currently 

classifiable in the Harmonized Tariff 

Schedule of the United States 

(‘‘HTSUS’’) statistical reporting numbers 

8432.40.0000, 8432.80.0000,

9603.50.0000. These HTSUS provisions 

are given for reference and customs 

purposes only, and the description of 

merchandise is dispositive for 

determining the scope of the product 

included in this order. 

Continuation of the Order 

As a result of the determinations by 

the Department and the ITC that 

revocation of the antidumping duty 

order would likely lead to a 

continuation or recurrence of dumping 

and material injury to an industry in the 

United States, pursuant to section 

751(d)(2) of the Act, the Department 

hereby orders the continuation of the 

antidumping order on lawn groomers 

from the PRC. U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection will continue to collect 

antidumping duty cash deposits at the 

rates in effect at the time of entry for all 

imports of subject merchandise. The 

effective date of the continuation of the 

order will be the date of publication in 

the Federal Register of this notice of 

continuation. Pursuant to section 

751(c)(2) of the Act, the Department 

intends to initiate the next five-year 

review of the order not later than 30 

days prior to the fifth anniversary of the 

effective date of continuation. 

This five-year (‘‘sunset’’) review and 

this notice are in accordance with 

section 751(c) of the Act and published 

pursuant to section 777(i)(1) of the Act.
