Background
On July 1, 2009, the Department of
Commerce (‘‘the Department’’)
published a notice of opportunity to
request an administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on Saccharin
from the People’s Republic of China
(‘‘PRC’’). See Antidumping or
Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or
Suspended Investigation: Opportunity
to Request Administrative Review, 74
FR 31406 (July 1, 2009). On July 31,
2009, Shanghai Fortune Chemical Co.,
Ltd. (‘‘Shanghai Fortune’’), a PRC
producer and exporter of saccharin,
requested that the Department conduct
an administrative review of Shanghai
Fortune’s own exports. The Department
then published in the Federal Register
the initiation notice for the antidumping
duty administrative review of Saccharin
from the PRC for the period July 1, 2008,
through June 30, 2009. See Initiation of
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Administrative Reviews, Request for
Revocation in Part, 74 FR 42873 (August
25, 2009).
mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with NOTICES
Partial Rescission of Review
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the
Secretary will rescind an administrative
review, in whole or in part, if the party
that requested the review withdraws the
request within 90 days of the date of
publication of the notice of initiation of
the requested review. On August 28,
2009, Shanghai Fortune timely
withdrew its request for an
administrative review of its own exports
(i.e., within 90 days of the publication
of the notice of initiation of this review).
Because no other party requested a
review of Shanghai Fortune’s exports,
the Department hereby rescinds the
administrative review of saccharin with
respect to Shanghai Fortune, in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1).
This administrative review will
continue with respect to Kaifeng Xinhua
Fine Chemical Factory.
Assessment Rates
The Department will instruct U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’)
to assess antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries. For Shanghai
Fortune, which had previously
established eligibility for a separate rate,
antidumping duties shall be assessed at
rates equal to the cash deposit of
VerDate Nov<24>2008
18:15 Nov 02, 2009
Jkt 220001
estimated antidumping duties required
at the time of entry, or withdrawal from
warehouse, for consumption, in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(c)(2).
The Department intends to issue
appropriate assessment instructions
directly to CBP 15 days after publication
of this notice. For Kaifeng Xinhua Fine
Chemical Factory and for those
companies which do not have a separate
rate at this time (and thus remain part
of the PRC-wide entity), the Department
will issue assessment instructions upon
the completion of this administrative
review.
Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a final reminder
to importers of their responsibility
under section 351.402(f) of the
Department’s regulations to file a
certificate regarding the reimbursement
of antidumping duties prior to
liquidation of the relevant entries
during this review period. Failure to
comply with this requirement could
result in the Secretary’s assumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties
occurred and subsequent assessment of
double antidumping duties.
This notice is issued and published in
accordance with section 777(i) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and 19
CFR 351.213(d)(4).
Dated: October 26, 2009.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On July 1, 2009, the Department
initiated a sunset review of the
antidumping duty order on sorbitol
from France pursuant to section 751(c)
of the Act. See Initiation of Five-year
(Sunset) Reviews, 74 FR 31412 (July 1,
2009). The Department received a notice
of intent to participate from one
domestic interested party, Archer
Daniels Midland Company (ADM)
within the deadline specified in section
351.218(d)(1)(i) of the Department’s
regulations.1 A second domestic
interested party, Corn Products
International (Corn Products) filed its
intent to participate on July 22, 2009, a
week after the regulatory deadline.
Further, Corn Products filed comments
on July 31, 2009. The Department
rejected Corn Products’ filings as
untimely on August 11, 2009. See Letter
to Corn Products, dated August 11,
2009.
ADM claimed interested party status
under section 771(9)(C) of the Act as
U.S. producers of the subject
merchandise. On July 31, 2009, the
Department received complete
substantive responses from ADM within
the 30-day deadline specified in 19 CFR
351.218(d)(3)(ii). However, the
Department received no substantive
responses from respondent interested
parties.2 As a result, pursuant to section
1 Counsel for ADM notified the Department by
telephone that ADM intended to participate in this
proceeding and requested that ADM be permitted
to file its notification one day after the regulatory
deadline of July 16, 2009. The Department acceded
to this request and accepted ADM’s notice of intent,
filed on July 17, 2009. See Memorandum to the file
from Dana S. Mermelstein dated July 21, 2009.
2 Roquette Freres, a respondent interested party,
made a submission to the Department on August 17,
2009, containing comments on the notices of intent
to participate by domestic interested parties. See

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On July 1, 2009, the Department
initiated a sunset review of the
antidumping duty order on ironing
tables from the PRC pursuant to section
751(c) of the Act. See Initiation of Fiveyear (Sunset) Reviews, 74 FR 31412
(July 1, 2009). The Department received
a notice of intent to participate from one
domestic interested party, Home
Products International (HPI), within the
deadline specified in 19 CFR
351.218(d)(1)(i) of the Department’s
regulations. HPI claimed interested
party status under section 771(9)(C) of
the Act as a domestic producer of the
domestic like product. We received a
complete substantive response from HPI
within the 30-day deadline specified in
19 CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i).
The Department also received a
substantive response from one
respondent party, Since Hardware
(Guangzhou) Co., Ltd. (Since Hardware)
within the 30-day deadline specified in
19 CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i). On August 5,
2009 HPI submitted rebuttal comments
to Since Hardware’s substantive
response. On August 19, 2009 the
Department determined Since
Hardware’s substantive response to be
inadequate because it failed to meet
certain requirements in 19 CFR
351.218(c)(1)(ii)(A) and (d)(3)(iii)(E). For
a more detailed discussion of the
Department’s determination regarding
Since Hardware’s substantive response,
please see the Memorandum to the File,
‘‘Adequacy Determination of
Respondent’s Substantive Comments:
Sunset Review of the Antidumping Duty
Order on Floor–Standing Metal–Top
Ironing Tables and Parts Thereof from
the People’s Republic of China (PRC)’’
dated August 19, 2009. As a result of the
foregoing, the Department conducted an
expedited (120-day) sunset review of
this order pursuant to section
751(C)(3)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.218(e)(1)(ii)(c)(2).
Scope of the Order
For purposes of the 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
