SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
AGENCY:
Background
On November 28, 2007, the
Department of Commerce (the
Department) initiated the countervailing
duty investigation of sodium nitrite
from the People’s Republic of China
(PRC). See Sodium Nitrite from the
People’s Republic of China: Initiation of
Countervailing Duty Investigation, 72 FR
68568 (December 5, 2007). Currently the
preliminary determination is due no
later than February 1, 2008.
Postponement of Due Date for
Preliminary Determination
On January 4, 2008, petitioner
submitted a letter requesting that the
Department postpone the preliminary
determination of the countervailing
duty investigation of sodium nitrite
from the PRC. Under section
703(c)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (the Act), the Department may
extend the deadline for the preliminary
determination in a countervailing duty
investigation until not later than the
130th day after the date on which the
administering authority initiates an
investigation if the petitioner makes a
timely request for an extension of the
period within which the determination
must be made under section 703(b) of
the Act. Pursuant to section 351.205(e)
of the Department’s regulations, the
petitioner’s request for postponement of
the preliminary determination was
made 25 days or more before the
scheduled date of the preliminary
determination. Accordingly, we are
extending the due date for the
preliminary determination by 65 days to
no later than April 6, 2008. Because
April 6, 2008 is a Sunday, the

Hand Trucks and Certain Parts Thereof
from the People’s Republic of China;
Preliminary Results, Partial Intent to
Rescind and Partial Rescission of the
2005–06 Administrative Review
Import Administration,
International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: In response to requests from
interested parties, the Department of
Commerce (‘‘the Department’’) is
conducting an administrative review of
the antidumping duty order on hand
trucks and certain parts thereof (‘‘hand
trucks’’) from the People’s Republic of
China (‘‘PRC’’) covering the period
December 1, 2005, through November
30, 2006. We have preliminarily
determined that sales have been made
below normal value (‘‘NV’’) by one
exporter participating in the review. We
have also preliminarily rescinded the
review for five exporters that did not
have any exports during the period of
review (‘‘POR’’) or whose request for
review was timely withdrawn. We have
also preliminarily determined that two
companies have not demonstrated that
they are entitled to separate rates and
have assigned them the rate for the
PRC–wide entity. If these preliminary
results are adopted in the final results
of these reviews, we will instruct U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’)
to assess antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries.
Interested parties are invited to
comment on these preliminary results.
We will issue the final results no later
than 120 days from the date of
publication of this notice.
EFFECTIVE DATE: (January 14, 2008.

Background
On December 1, 2006, the Department
published a notice of opportunity to
request an administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on hand trucks
from the PRC. See Antidumping or
Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or
Suspended Investigation; Opportunity
To Request Administrative Review, 71
FR 69543 (December 1, 2006). In
accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(b)(1),
on December 29, 2006, Petitioners,
Gleason Industrial Products, Inc. and
Precision Products, Inc., requested that
the Department conduct an
administrative review for the following
exporters of the subject merchandise:
Qingdao Huatian Hand Truck Co., Ltd.
(‘‘Huatian’’); Qingdao Future Tool, Inc.
(‘‘Future Tool’’); Qingdao Taifa Group
Co. Ltd. (‘‘Taifa’’); True Potential Co.,
Ltd. (‘‘True Potential’’); Shandong
Machinery I&E Group Corp. (‘‘Shandong
Machinery’’); Since Hardware
(Guangzhou) Co., Ltd. (‘‘Since
Hardware’’); Formost Plastics &
Metalworks (Jiazing) Co., Ltd.
(‘‘Formost’’); and Forecarry Corp
(‘‘Forecarry’’). Also, on December 29,
2006, the Department received a request
to conduct an administrative review
from Taifa, an exporter of the subject
merchandise.
On January 3, 2007, the Department
received a request to conduct an
administrative review from Since
Hardware, an exporter of subject
merchandise from the PRC. On February
2, 2007, the Department published in
the Federal Register a notice of the
initiation of the antidumping duty
administrative review of hand trucks
from the PRC for the period December
1, 2005, through November 30, 2006,
with respect to eight companies. See
Initiation of Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Administrative
Reviews and Request for Revocation in
Part, 72 FR 5005 (February 2, 2007).
On March 1, 2007, the Department
issued quantity and value (‘‘Q&V’’)
questionnaires along with separate rate
applications and certifications to
Forecarry, Formost, Future Tool,
Huatian, Shandong Machinery, Since
Hardware, True Potential, and Taifa
requesting each party’s quantity (i.e.,
pieces) and U.S. dollar sales value of all
exports of hand trucks and parts thereof
to the United States during the POR. See
Quantity and Value Questionnaire
(‘‘Q&V Questionnaire’’) dated March 1,
2007. In our Q&V questionnaire, we
notified all interested parties that we
were considering limiting the number of
respondents selected for review in
accordance with section 777A(c)(2) of
the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended
PO 00000
Frm 00003
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
(‘‘Act’’), due to the number of firms
requested for this administrative review
and the resulting administrative burden
to review each company for which a
request had been made. On March 15,
2007, we received responses to the Q&V
questionnaire from Huatian, Since
Hardware (stating it had no shipments
during the POR), Taifa and True
Potential. On May 1 and 25, 2007, we
issued letters to Formost, Forecarry,
Future Tool, and Shandong Machinery
providing each a second opportunity to
respond to the Department’s request for
Q&V information. See Second Quantity
and Value Questionnaire dated May 1,
2007 (‘‘Second Q&V Questionnaire’’).
On June 4, 2007, Formost and Forecarry
responded to the Department’s request
for Q&V information stating that they
had no exports to the United States
during the POR. Future Tool and
Shandong Machinery did not respond to
the Department’s letters. See the ‘‘Facts
Available’’ section of this notice, below,
for further discussion.
On March 15, 2007, Since Hardware
withdrew its request for an
administrative review within the time
limits specified under 19 CFR
351.213(d)(1). See the ‘‘Partial
Rescission of Administrative Review’’
section of this notice, below, for further
discussion. On May 3, 2007, Petitioners
withdrew their request for an
administrative review within the time
limits specified under 19 CFR
351.213(d)(1) with respect to Huatian,
Taifa, and True Potential.
On June 21, 2007, the Department
determined that it was not practicable to
examine individually all of the
companies covered by the 2005–2006
administrative review, and thus it
limited its examination to the largest
producers/exporters that could
reasonably be reviewed, pursuant to
section 777A(c)(2)(B) of the Act.
Therefore, on this date the Department
selected Taifa as the sole respondent
required to submit a full questionnaire
response in the administrative review
(i.e., mandatory respondent). See the
memorandum titled ‘‘Antidumping
Duty Administrative Review of Hand
Trucks and Certain Parts Thereof from
the People’s Republic of China:
Selection of Respondents’’ dated June
21, 2007.
On June 22, 2007, we issued the
antidumping duty questionnaire to
Taifa. We received separate–rate
certifications from Taifa and True
Potential. On July 13, 2007, we received
Taifa’s responses to section A of the
Department’s original questionnaire. On
August 14, 2007, we received Taifa’s
response to sections C and D of the
Department’s original questionnaire. On
