3 waves + 3,100 × .167 hr × 3 waves). 

panel, of which 42,032 households were 

interviewed. We estimate that each 

household contains 2.1 people, yielding 

88,267 person-level interviews in Wave 

1 and subsequent waves. Interviews take 

30 minutes on average. Three waves 

will occur in the 2008 SIPP Panel 

during FY 2010. The total annual 

burden for 2008 Panel SIPP interviews 

would be 132,400 hours in FY 2010. 

The topical modules for the 2008 

Panel Wave 7 collect information about: 

• Assets, Liabilities, and Eligibility; 

• Medical Expenses and Utilization of 

Health Care; 

• Work-Related Expenses and Child 

Support Paid. 

Wave 7 interviews will be conducted 

from September 1, 2010 through 

December 31, 2010. 

A 10-minute reinterview of 3,100 

people is conducted at each wave to 

ensure accuracy of responses. 

Reinterviews require an additional 

1,553 burden hours in FY 2010. 

II. Method of Collection 

The SIPP is designed as a continuing 

series of national panels of interviewed 

households that are introduced every 

few years with each panel having 

durations of 1 to 4 years. All household 

members 15 years old or over are 

interviewed using regular proxyrespondent rules. During the 2008 

panel, respondents are interviewed a 

total of 13 times (13 waves) at 4-month 

intervals making the SIPP a longitudinal 

survey. Sample people (all household 

members present at the time of the first 

interview) who move within the country 

and reasonably close to a SIPP primary 

sampling unit will be followed and 

interviewed at their new address. 

Individuals 15 years old or over who 

enter the household after Wave 1 will be 

interviewed; however, if these 

individuals move, they are not followed 

unless they happen to move along with 

a Wave 1 sample individual.

the People’s Republic of China: Final 

Results of Antidumping Duty 

Administrative Review 

AGENCY: Import Administration, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: On September 8, 2009, the 

U.S. Department of Commerce (the 

Department) published the preliminary 

results of the August 1, 2007 through 

July 31, 2008 administrative review of 

the antidumping duty order on floorstanding, metal-top ironing tables from 

the People’s Republic of China (PRC). 

See Floor-Standing, Metal-Top Ironing 

Tables and Certain Parts Thereof From 

the People’s Republic of China: 

Preliminary Results of Antidumping 

Duty Administrative Review, 74 FR 

46083 (September 8, 2008) (Preliminary 

Results). This review covers, Foshan 

Shunde Yongjian Housewares & 

Hardwares Co., Ltd. (Foshan Shunde), 

which we have determined to be part of 

the PRC-wide entity. We invited 

interested parties to comment on the 

Preliminary Results. 

Based on our analysis of the 

comments received, we have made no 

changes to the findings presented in our 

Preliminary Results. The weighted 

average dumping margin is listed below 

in the section entitled ‘‘Final Results of 

Review.’’ 

DATES: Effective Date: January 20, 2010.

0649, respectively. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

We published in the Federal Register 

the preliminary results of this 

administrative review on September 8, 

2009. See Preliminary Results. 

Following the Preliminary Results, on 

October 8, 2009, the Department 

received case briefs from Foshan 

Shunde and from Polder, Inc., an 

importer of the subject merchandise. On 

October 13, 2009, Home Products 

International, Inc., the Petitioner in this 

proceeding, submitted a rebuttal brief. 

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 


pwalker on DSK8KYBLC1PROD with NOTICES
3202 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 12 / Wednesday, January 20, 2010 / Notices 

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 

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 

Foshan Shunde requested a separate, 

company-specific antidumping duty 

rate. In the Preliminary Results, we 

found that Foshan Shunde provided 

inaccurate and unreliable data, and as 

such, the Department was unable to 

determine Foshan Shunde’s eligibility 

for separate rate status. Thus, the 

Department determined Foshan Shunde 

is properly considered to be part of the 

PRC-wide entity. See Preliminary 

Results at 46085; see also Carbazole 

Violet Pigment 23 from the People’s 

Republic of China: Final Results of 

Antidumping Duty Administrative 

Review, 74 FR 883 (January 9, 2009) 

(where the Department revoked a 

respondent’s separate rate status after 

the respondent refused to cooperate 

with the Department’s administrative 

review). We have not received any 

information since the Preliminary 

Results with respect to Foshan Shunde 

that would warrant changing our 

separate-rate determination. Therefore, 

in these Final Results, we have 

continued to treat Foshan Shunde as 

part of the PRC-wide entity because 

Foshan Shunde’s responses contain 

widespread and pervasive 

discrepancies, for which the Department 

is unable to parse any reliable data. 

Analysis of Comments Received 

All issues raised in the case briefs by 

the parties and to which we have 

responded are fully addressed in the 

Memorandum to Ronald K. Lorentzen, 

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import 

Administration, from John M. Andersen, 

Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for 

Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 

Operations entitled ‘‘Issues and Decision 

Memorandum for the Final Results in 

the Administrative Review of FloorStanding, Metal-Top Ironing Tables and 

Certain Parts Thereof from the People’s 

Republic of China’’, (January 6, 2010) 

(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 1117 

of the Department of Commerce. In 

addition, a complete version of the 

Issues and Decision Memorandum can

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 no 

changes to the analysis employed in the 

Preliminary Results. 

Final Results of Review 

We determine that the following 

antidumping duty margins exist in these 

final results: 

Exporter Margin 

(percent) 

PRC-wide Entity (which includes 

Foshan Shunde) ....................... 157.68 

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 U.S. Customs and 

Border Protection (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. We will instruct 

CBP to assess antidumping duties on all 

appropriate entries covered by this 

review. 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following cash deposit 

requirements will be effective upon 

publication of these final results of this 

administrative review for all shipments 

of the subject merchandise entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after the publication 

date, as provided for by section 

751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For Foshan 

Shunde the cash deposit rate will be 

157.68 percent; (2) for previouslyinvestigated or reviewed PRC and nonPRC exporters not listed above that have 

separate rates, the cash deposit rate will 

continue to be the exporter-specific rate 

published for the most recent period; (3) 

for all PRC exporters of subject 

merchandise that have not been found 

to be entitled to a separate rate, the cash 

deposit rate will be the PRC-wide rate 

of 157.68 percent; and (4) for all nonPRC exporters of subject merchandise 

which have not received their own rate, 

the cash deposit rate will be the rate 

applicable to the PRC exporters that 

supplied that non-PRC exporter. These 

deposit requirements, when imposed, 

shall remain in effect until further 

notice. 

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.
