# SUMMARY:

As a result of this sunset review, the Department of Commerce (“the Department”) finds that revocation of the antidumping duty (“AD”) order on certain tow-behind lawn groomers and certain parts thereof (“lawn groomers”) from the People's Republic of China (“PRC”) would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping. The magnitude of the dumping margins likely to prevail is indicated in the “Final Results of Sunset Review” section of this notice.

# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

## Background

                    On August 3, 2009, the Department published the AD order on lawn groomers from the PRC.[1]                                          On July 1, 2014, the Department published the notice of initiation of the sunset review of this AD order, pursuant to section 751(c) of the Act.[2]                                          On July 15, 2014, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1), the Department received a timely and complete notice of intent to participate in the sunset review of the order from Agri-Fab, Inc. (“Domestic Producer”). On July 31, 2014, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3), Domestic Producer filed a timely and adequate substantive response. The Department did not receive substantive responses from any respondent interested party. As a result, pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(B) of the Tariff Act of 1930 (“Act”) and 19 CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2), the Department conducted an expedited (120-day) sunset review of this AD order.                

## 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).                

                    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, 8432.80.0010, 8432.90.0030, 8432.90.0080, 8479.89.9896, 8479.89.9897, 8479.90.9496, and 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. For the full scope of this order, see the accompanying I&D Memorandum, which is hereby adopted by this notice.[3]

## Analysis of Comments Received

                    A complete discussion of all issues raised in this sunset review is provided in the accompanying I&D Memorandum. The issues discussed in the I&D Memorandum include the likelihood of continuation or recurrence of dumping and the magnitude of the dumping margins likely to prevail if the order is revoked. The I&D Memorandum is a public document and is on file electronically via Enforcement and Compliance's Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service System (“IA ACCESS”). IA ACCESS is available to registered users at htpp://                    *iaacess.trade.gov,*                     and is available in the Central Records Unit, room 7046 of the main Department of Commerce building. In addition, a complete version of the I&D Memorandum can be accessed at                     *http://enforcement.trade.gov/​frn/​.*                     The signed I&D Memorandum and the electronic version of the I&D Memorandum are identical in content.                

## Final Results of Sunset Reviews

                    Pursuant to section 752(c)(3) of the Act, the Department determines that revocation of the AD order on lawn groomers from the PRC would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping at weighted-average margins up to 386.28 percent.[4]
