products are Underwriters Laboratories 

(‘‘UL’’) certified. The scope does not 

include cast iron soil pipe fittings or 

grooved fittings or grooved couplings. 

Fittings that are made out of ductile 

iron that have the same physical 

characteristics as the gray or cast iron 

fittings subject to the scope above or 

which have the same physical 

characteristics and are produced to 

ASME B.16.3, ASME B.16.4, or ASTM 

A–395 specifications, threaded to ASME 

B1.20.1 specifications and UL certified, 

regardless of metallurgical differences 

between gray and ductile iron, are also 

included in the scope of this petition. 

These ductile fittings do not include 

grooved fittings or grooved couplings. 

Ductile cast iron fittings with 

mechanical joint ends, or push on ends, 

or flanged ends and produced to the 

American Water Works Association 

(‘‘AWWA’’) specifications AWWA C110 

or AWWA C153 are not included. 

Imports of covered merchandise are 

currently classifiable in the Harmonized 

Tariff Schedule of the United States 

(‘‘HTSUS’’) under item numbers 

7307.11.00.30, 7307.11.00.60, 

7307.19.30.60 and 7307.19.30.85. 

HTSUS subheadings are provided for 

convenience and customs purposes. The 

written description of the scope of this 

proceeding is dispositive. 

Since the order was published, there 

was one scope determination for non–

malleable pipe fittings from the PRC, 

dated November 5, 2004. In the 

determination, requested by Thomas 

and Betts Corporation, the Department 

ruled that certain electrical conduit 

fittings are within the scope of the 

antidumping order. See Notice of Scope 

Rulings, 70 FR 24533, 24534 (May 10, 

2005). 

Continuation of the Order 

As a result of these 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 non–malleable 

pipe fittings from the PRC. United States 

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.

Hand Trucks and Certain Parts Thereof 

from the People’s Republic of China: 

Final Results of 2006–2007 Semi–

Annual New Shipper Review 

AGENCY: Import Administration, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: On April 30, 2008, the 

Department of Commerce (the 

‘‘Department’’) published the 

preliminary results of the semiannual 

new shipper review of the antidumping 

duty order on hand trucks and certain 

parts thereof from the People’s Republic 

of China (‘‘PRC’’). See Hand Trucks and 

Certain Parts Thereof from the People’s 

Republic of China: Preliminary Results 

of the 2006–2007 Semiannual New 

Shipper Review, 73 FR 23420 (April 30, 

2008) (‘‘Preliminary Results’’). The 

merchandise covered by this review is 

hand trucks, exported and 

manufactured by New–Tec Integration 

(Xiamen) Co., Ltd. (‘‘New–Tec’’), as 

described in the ‘‘Scope of the Order’’

section of this notice. The period of 

review is December 1, 2006, through 

May 31, 2007. We invited parties to 

comment on our Preliminary Results. 

We received no comments, and no new 

evidence was placed on the record. 

Therefore, the final results are 

unchanged from those presented in the 

Preliminary Results. The final 

weighted–average dumping margin for 

New–Tec is listed below in the section 

entitled ‘‘Final Results of the Review.’’

EFFECTIVE DATE: August 15, 2008.

Administration, International Trade

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Case History 

Following the Preliminary Results, the 

Department did not conduct verification 

and no party requested a hearing. In our 

Preliminary Results we stated that 

interested parties were to submit case 

briefs within 30 days and rebuttal briefs 

within 35 days of publication of the 

Preliminary Results. No interested party 

submitted a case or rebuttal brief. In a 

notice on May 14, 2008, the Department 

stated that the 2007 expected non–

market economy wage rates will be in 

effect for all antidumping duty 

proceedings for which the Department’s 

final decision is due after the 

publication of the notice. See Corrected 

2007 Calculation of Expected Non–

Market Economy Wages, 73 FR 27795 

(May 14, 2008). For the final results, we 

ran our SAS programming for New–Tec 

using the new wage rate. 

Scope of Order 

The product covered by this order 

consists of hand trucks manufactured 

from any material, whether assembled 

or unassembled, complete or 

incomplete, suitable for any use, and 

certain parts thereof, namely the vertical 

frame, the handling area and the 

projecting edges or toe plate, and any 

combination thereof. 

A complete or fully assembled hand 

truck is a hand–propelled barrow 

consisting of a vertically disposed frame 

having a handle or more than one 

handle at or near the upper section of 

the vertical frame; at least two wheels at 

or near the lower section of the vertical 

frame; and a horizontal projecting edge 

or edges, or toe plate, perpendicular or 

angled to the vertical frame, at or near 

the lower section of the vertical frame. 

The projecting edge or edges, or toe 

plate, slides under a load for purposes 

of lifting and/or moving the load. 

That the vertical frame can be 

converted from a vertical setting to a 

horizontal setting, then operated in that 

horizontal setting as a platform, is not 

a basis for exclusion of the hand truck 

from the scope of this petition. That the 

vertical frame, handling area, wheels, 

projecting edges or other parts of the 

hand truck can be collapsed or folded is 

not a basis for exclusion of the hand 

truck from the scope of the petition. 

That other wheels may be connected to 

the vertical frame, handling area, 

projecting edges, or other parts of the 

hand truck, in addition to the two or 

more wheels located at or near the lower 

section of the vertical frame, is not a 

basis for exclusion of the hand truck 

mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 159 / Friday, August 15, 2008 / Notices 47889 

from the scope of the petition. Finally, 

that the hand truck may exhibit physical 

characteristics in addition to the vertical 

frame, the handling area, the projecting 

edges or toe plate, and the two wheels 

at or near the lower section of the 

vertical frame, is not a basis for 

exclusion of the hand truck from the 

scope of the petition. Examples of 

names commonly used to reference 

hand trucks are hand truck, convertible 

hand truck, appliance hand truck, 

cylinder hand truck, bag truck, dolly, or 

hand trolley. They are typically 

imported under heading 8716.80.50.10 

of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of 

the United States (‘‘HTSUS’’), although 

they may also be imported under 

heading 8716.80.50.90. Specific parts of 

a hand truck, namely the vertical frame, 

the handling area and the projecting 

edges or toe plate, or any combination 

thereof, are typically imported under 

heading 8716.90.50.60 of the HTSUS. 

Although the HTSUS subheadings are 

provided for convenience and customs 

purposes, the Department’s written 

description of the scope is dispositive. 

Excluded from the scope are small 

two–wheel or four–wheel utility carts 

specifically designed for carrying loads 

like personal bags or luggage in which 

the frame is made from telescoping 

tubular material measuring less than 5/ 

8 inch in diameter; hand trucks that use 

motorized operations either to move the 

hand truck from one location to the next 

or to assist in the lifting of items placed 

on the hand truck; vertical carriers 

designed specifically to transport golf 

bags; and wheels and tires used in the 

manufacture of hand trucks. 

Analysis of Comment Received 

No comments were received. 

Final Results of the Review 

The Department has determined that 

the following weighted–average margin 

exists for New–Tec for the period 

December 1, 2006, through May 31, 

2007.

Assessment Rates 

Upon issuance of the final results, 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 direct CBP to assess the 

appropriate assessment rate (zero 

percent) against the entered customs 

values for the subject merchandise on 

each of New–Tec’s entries during the 

period of review. 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following cash deposit 

requirements will be effective upon 

publication of the final results of this 

new shipper review for all shipments of 

the subject merchandise entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after date of 

publication, as provided by section 

751(a)(2)(C) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 

amended (‘‘the Act’’): (1) for subject 

merchandise exported and produced by 

New–Tec, no cash deposit will be 

required; (2) for subject merchandise 

exported but not produced by New–Tec, 

the cash deposit rate will be the PRC–

wide rate (383.60 percent); and (3) for 

subject merchandise manufactured by 

New–Tec but exported by a party other 

than New–Tec, the cash deposit rate 

will be the rate applicable to the 

exporter. These deposit requirements 

shall remain in effect until further 

notice. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

This notice also 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 entry 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 (‘‘APO’’) of their 

responsibility concerning the return or 

destruction of proprietary information 

disclosed under APO in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.305. 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 terms of an APO is a 

violation which is subject to sanction. 

This new shipper review and this 

notice are published in accordance with 

sections 751(a)(2)(B) and 777(i)(1) of the 

Act.
