SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

The Quarterly Survey of Foreign 

Direct Investment in the United States— 

Transactions of U.S. Affiliate with 

Foreign Parent (BE–605) is a sample 

survey that collects data on transactions 

and positions between foreign-owned 

U.S. business enterprises and their 

‘‘affiliated foreign groups’’ (i.e., their 

foreign parents and foreign affiliates of 

their foreign parents). The sample data 

are used to derive universe estimates in 

nonbenchmark years from similar data 

reported in the BE–12, Benchmark 

Survey of Foreign Direct Investment in 

the United States, which is conducted 

every five years. The data are used in 

the preparation of the U.S. international 

transactions, national income and 

product, and input-output accounts and 

the net international investment 

position of the United States. The data 

are needed to measure the size and 

economic significance of foreign direct 

investment in the United States, 

measure changes in such investment, 

and assess its impact on the U.S. 

economy. 

The Bureau of Economic Analysis 

(BEA) proposes several changes to the 

survey that will improve the coverage 

and quality of BEA direct investment 

statistics and reduce respondent burden. 

BEA plans to add a check-box question 

that asks respondents whether they plan 

to expand their operation with a new 

facility. This information will be used to 

identify transactions that should be 

collected on the companion BE–13, 

Survey of New Foreign Direct 

Investment in the United States, which 

is being reinstated in 2014. BEA plans 

to eliminate several questions related to 

organizational structure. These 

questions were intended to serve as an 

instruction on how to identify the 

consolidated U.S. affiliate. They will be 

replaced by an illustration that will 

provide the necessary guidance and 

eliminate the burden of answering 

questions each quarter. BEA plans to 

add questions to obtain the ultimate 

beneficial owner’s (UBO) name and 

country of incorporation when the UBO 

information changes or it is the 

company’s initial filing. In addition, 

BEA plans to make improvements to 

question wording, instructions, and 

formatting to elicit more complete and 

correct responses and to make the 

survey more consistent with other BEA 

surveys. 

II. Method of Collection 

Form BE–605 is a quarterly report that 

must be filed within 30 days after the 

end of each quarter (45 days after the 

final quarter of the respondent’s fiscal 

year) by every U.S. business enterprise 

that is owned 10 percent or more by a 

foreign investor and that has total assets, 

sales or gross operating revenues, or net 

income (positive or negative) of over 

$60 million. 

As an alternative to filing paper 

forms, BEA offers its electronic filing 

option, the eFile system, for use in 

reporting on Form BE–605. For more 

information about eFile, go to 

www.bea.gov/efile. 

Potential respondents are those U.S. 

business enterprises that were required 

to report on the BE–12, Benchmark

Certain Tow-Behind Lawn Groomers 

and Certain Parts Thereof From the 

People’s Republic of China: Final 

Results of the Expedited First Sunset 

Review of the Antidumping Duty Order 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

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. 

DATES: Effective Date: November 4, 

2014.

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
