Certain Standard Steel Fasteners From
the People’s Republic of China:

Antidumping Duty Investigation
DATES:
Effective Date: November 5,
2009.
SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce
(‘‘Department’’) is currently conducting
an antidumping duty investigation of
certain standard steel fasteners from the
People’s Republic of China (‘‘PRC’’).
The period of investigation (‘‘POI’’) is
January 1, 2009, through June 30, 2009.
We are limiting the number of quantity
and value questionnaires that will be
sent directly to exporters and extending
the deadline for parties to submit a
response to the quantity and value
questionnaire.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Import Administration, International
Trade Administration, U.S. Department
of Commerce, 14th Street and
Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington,
DC 20230.
Background: On October 22, 2009, the
Department of Commerce (‘‘the
Department’’) published a notice of
initiation of antidumping duty
investigations of certain standard steel
fasteners (‘‘fasteners’’) from the PRC and
Taiwan. See Certain Standard Steel
Fasteners From the People’s Republic of
China and Taiwan: Initiation of
Antidumping Duty Investigations, 74 FR
54537 (October 22, 2009) (‘‘Initiation’’).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the
Initiation, the Department stated that it
intended to release quantity and value
questionnaires to those PRC companies
identified in the petitions by Nucor
Fastener (‘‘Petitioner’’). See Petitions for
the Imposition of Antidumping and
Countervailing Duties: Certain Standard
Steel Fasteners from the People’s

(‘‘Petition’’) and Letter from Wiley Rein
to the Secretary of Commerce Regarding
Certain Standard Steel Fasteners from
the People’s Republic of China, dated
October 14, 2009, at Attachment.
Given that Petitioner identified more
than 400 producers and exporters of
fasteners from the PRC, the Department
has determined to limit the number of
quantity and value questionnaires it will
send out to exporters based on U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’)

the Department is extending the

Results of the Expedited Sunset
Review of the Antidumping Duty Order
AGENCY: Import Administration,
International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: On July 1, 2009, the
Department of Commerce
(‘‘Department’’) initiated a sunset
review of the antidumping duty order
on tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol (‘‘THFA’’)
from the People’s Republic of China
(‘‘PRC’’) pursuant to section 751(c) of
the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended
(‘‘Act’’). See Initiation of Five-year

VerDate Nov<24>2008
14:57 Nov 04, 2009
Jkt 220001
Department did not receive a
substantive response from any
respondent party. Based on the notice of
intent to participate and adequate
response filed by the domestic
interested party, and the lack of
response from any respondent
interested party, the Department
conducted an expedited sunset review
of the Order pursuant to section
751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2). As a result of this
sunset review, the Department finds that
revocation of the Order would likely
lead to continuation or recurrence of
dumping, at the levels indicated in the
‘‘Final Results of Sunset Review’’
section of this notice, infra.
DATES: Effective Date: November 5, 2009
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Frances Veith; AD/CVD Operations,
Import Administration, International
Trade Administration, U.S. Department
of Commerce, 14th Street and
Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington,
DC 20230; telephone: 202–482–4295.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On July 1, 2009, the Department
initiated a sunset review of the order on
THFA pursuant to section 751(c) of the
Act. See Sunset Initiation, 74 FR 31412.
On July 14, 2009, the Department
received a timely notice of intent to
participate in the sunset review from
PAK, pursuant to 19 CFR
351.218(d)(1)(i). In accordance with 19
CFR 351.218(d)(1)(ii)(A), PAK claimed
interested party status under section
771(9)(C) of the Act as a producer of the
domestic like product.
On July 29, 2009, PAK filed a
substantive response in the sunset
review, within the 30-day deadline as
specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i).
The Department did not receive a
substantive response from any
respondent interested party in the
sunset review. As a result, pursuant to
section 751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and 19
CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2), the
Department conducted an expedited
sunset review of the Order.
Scope of the Order
The product covered by this order is
tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol (C5H10O2)
(‘‘THFA’’). THFA, a primary alcohol, is
a clear, water white to pale yellow
liquid. THFA is a member of the
heterocyclic compounds known as
furans and is miscible with water and
soluble in many common organic
solvents. THFA is currently classifiable
in the Harmonized Tariff Schedules of
the United States (‘‘HTSUS’’) under
subheading 2932.13.00.00. Although the

HTS subheadings are provided for
convenience and for customs purposes,
the Department’s written description of
the merchandise subject to the order is
dispositive.
Analysis of Comments Received
A complete discussion of all issues
raised in this sunset review is addressed
in the accompanying Issues and
Decision Memorandum, which is hereby
adopted by this notice. See the
Department’s memorandum entitled,
‘‘Issues and Decision Memorandum for
the Final Results in the Expedited
Sunset Review of the Antidumping Duty
Order on Tetrahydrofurfuryl Alcohol
from the People’s Republic of China,’’
dated October 29, 2009 (‘‘I&D Memo’’).
The issues discussed in the
accompanying I&D Memo include the
likelihood of continuation or recurrence
of dumping and the magnitude of the
dumping margin likely to prevail if the
Order was revoked. Parties can obtain a
public copy of the I&D Memo on file in
the Central Records Unit, room 1117, of
the main Commerce building. In
addition, a complete public copy of the
I&D Memo can be accessed directly on
the Web at https://ia.ita.doc.gov/frn. The
paper copy and electronic version of the
I&D Memo are identical in content.
Final Results of Sunset Review
The Department determines that
revocation of the Order on THFA would
likely lead to continuation or recurrence
of dumping. The Department also
determines that the dumping margins
likely to prevail if the order was revoked
are as follows:
Manufacturers/Exporters/
Producers
Qingdao Wenken (F.T.Z.)
Trading Co., Ltd ................
PRC–Wide Entity ..................

Notification Regarding Administrative
Protective Order
This notice also serves as the only
reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective order (‘‘APO’’)
of their responsibility concerning the
return or destruction of proprietary
information disclosed under APO in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.305.
Timely notification of the return or
destruction of APO materials or
conversion to judicial protective order is
hereby requested. Failure to comply
with the regulations and terms of an
APO is a violation which is subject to
sanction.
