SUMMARY: On September 11, 2007, the U.S. Department of Commerce (‘‘the Department’’) published the preliminary results of the second administrative review of the antidumping duty order on 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, 72 FR 51781 (September 11, 2007) (‘‘AR2 Preliminary Results’’). This review covers exports from Since Hardware (Guangzhou) Co., Ltd. (‘‘Since Hardware’’). The period of review (‘‘POR’’) is August 1, 2005, through July 31, 2006. For these final results, the Department revised and continued to apply the Since Hardware supplier price benchmark analysis. Furthermore, the Department revised its calculation of the surrogate financial ratios. Therefore, the final results differ from the preliminary results. See ‘‘Final Results of Review’’ section below.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background We published in the Federal Register the preliminary results of the second administrative review on September 11, 2007. See AR2 Preliminary Results. Following the AR2 Preliminary Results, on October 1, 2007, Since Hardware submitted surrogate financial information to value factors of production. On October 11, 2007, Home Products International Inc. (‘‘petitioner’’) and Since Hardware submitted case briefs. On October 16, 2007, both petitioner and Since Hardware also submitted rebuttal briefs. Scope of the Order For purposes of this 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, this order specifically covers imports of ironing tables, assembled or unassembled, complete or incomplete, and certain parts thereof. For purposes of this 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 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 PO 00000 Frm 00009 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 14437 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 this 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 Since Hardware requested a separate, company–specific antidumping duty rate. In the AR2 Preliminary Results, we found that Since Hardware had met the criteria for the application of a separate antidumping duty rate. Preliminary Results, 72 FR at 51782. We have not received any information since the Preliminary Results with respect to Since Hardware that would warrant reconsideration of our separate– rates determination. Therefore, we have assigned an individual dumping margin to Since Hardware for this review period. Analysis of Comments Received All issues raised in the briefs are addressed in the Memorandum to David M. Spooner, Assistant Secretary for Import Administration, from Stephen J. Claeys, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration, regarding the Issues and Decision Memorandum accompanying the Final Results in the 2005–2006 Administrative Review of Floor–Standing, Metal–Top Ironing Tables and Certain Parts Thereof from E:\FR\FM\18MRN1.SGM 18MRN1

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On August 24, 2007, the Department of Commerce (``the Department'') 
published a notice of initiation of administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order on purified carboxymethylcellulose from Sweden, 
covering the period July 1, 2006, through June 30, 2007. See Initiation 
of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and 
Request for Revocation in Part, 72 FR 48613 (August 24, 2007). The 
preliminary results for this review are currently due no later than 
April 1, 2008.

Statutory Time Limits

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the 
Act''), requires the Department to issue the preliminary results of an 
administrative review within 245 days after the last day of the 
anniversary month of an order for which a review is requested and the 
final results of review within 120 days after the date on which the 
preliminary results are published. If it is not practicable to complete 
the review within the time period, section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act 
allows the Department to extend these deadlines to a maximum of 365 
days and 180 days, respectively.

Extension of Time Limits for Preliminary Results

    The deadline for the preliminary results of this administrative 
review is currently April 1, 2008. The Department has determined that 
completion of the preliminary results within the statutory time period 
is not practicable. On December 20, 2007, the Department initiated a 
sales-below-cost investigation for CP Kelco A.B. and requested that the 
company respond to Section D of the Department's antidumping duty 
(cost) questionnaire. See Letter from Angelica L. Mendoza, Program 
Manager, to CP Kelco A.B., dated December 20, 2007, and attached 
memorandum. CP Kelco A.B. submitted is response to Section D on January 
8, 2008. The Department has not yet released a supplemental cost 
questionnaire to CP Kelco A.B. On February 1, 2008, the Department 
issued a section A through C supplemental questionnaire to respondent 
CP Kelco A.B. CP Kelco A.B. submitted its sections A through C 
supplemental sales questionnaire response on February 26, 2008. The 
Department requires additional time to review and analyze CP Kelco 
A.B.'s questionnaire responses, to issue a supplemental cost 
questionnaire, to issue additional supplemental sales questionnaires if

necessary, and to conduct verification of the questionnaire responses, 
if necessary.
    Therefore, given the additional time needed to conduct a complete 
analysis for this administrative review, in accordance with section 
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, the Department is extending the time period 
for completion of the preliminary results to 365 days. Therefore, the 
preliminary results are now due no later than July 30, 2008. The final 
results continue to be due no later than 120 days after publication of 
the notice of the preliminary results.
    This notice is published in accordance with sections 751(a)(3)(A) 
and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: March 11, 2008.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
