panel, of which 42,032 households were
interviewed. We estimate that each
household contains 2.1 people, yielding
88,267 person-level interviews in Wave
1 and subsequent waves. Interviews take
30 minutes on average. Three waves
will occur in the 2008 SIPP Panel
during FY 2010. The total annual
burden for 2008 Panel SIPP interviews
would be 132,400 hours in FY 2010.
The topical modules for the 2008
Panel Wave 7 collect information about:
• Assets, Liabilities, and Eligibility;
• Medical Expenses and Utilization of
Health Care;
• Work-Related Expenses and Child
Support Paid.
Wave 7 interviews will be conducted
from September 1, 2010 through
December 31, 2010.
A 10-minute reinterview of 3,100
people is conducted at each wave to
ensure accuracy of responses.
Reinterviews require an additional
1,553 burden hours in FY 2010.
II. Method of Collection
The SIPP is designed as a continuing
series of national panels of interviewed
households that are introduced every
few years with each panel having
durations of 1 to 4 years. All household
members 15 years old or over are
interviewed using regular proxyrespondent rules. During the 2008
panel, respondents are interviewed a
total of 13 times (13 waves) at 4-month
intervals making the SIPP a longitudinal
survey. Sample people (all household
members present at the time of the first
interview) who move within the country
and reasonably close to a SIPP primary
sampling unit will be followed and
interviewed at their new address.
Individuals 15 years old or over who
enter the household after Wave 1 will be
interviewed; however, if these
individuals move, they are not followed
unless they happen to move along with
a Wave 1 sample individual.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
We published in the Federal Register
the preliminary results of this
administrative review on September 8,
2009. See Preliminary Results.
Following the Preliminary Results, on
October 8, 2009, the Department
received case briefs from Foshan
Shunde and from Polder, Inc., an
importer of the subject merchandise. On
October 13, 2009, Home Products
International, Inc., the Petitioner in this
proceeding, submitted a rebuttal brief.
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
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, the order specifically
covers imports of ironing tables,
assembled or unassembled, complete or
incomplete, and certain parts thereof.
For purposes of the 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

3202
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 12 / Wednesday, January 20, 2010 / Notices
pwalker on DSK8KYBLC1PROD with NOTICES
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—
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 the 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
Foshan Shunde requested a separate,
company-specific antidumping duty
rate. In the Preliminary Results, we
found that Foshan Shunde provided
inaccurate and unreliable data, and as
such, the Department was unable to
determine Foshan Shunde’s eligibility
for separate rate status. Thus, the
Department determined Foshan Shunde
is properly considered to be part of the
PRC-wide entity. See Preliminary
Results at 46085; see also Carbazole
Violet Pigment 23 from the People’s
Republic of China: Final Results of
Antidumping Duty Administrative
Review, 74 FR 883 (January 9, 2009)
(where the Department revoked a
respondent’s separate rate status after
VerDate Nov<24>2008
16:06 Jan 19, 2010
Jkt 220001
the respondent refused to cooperate
with the Department’s administrative
review). We have not received any
information since the Preliminary
Results with respect to Foshan Shunde
that would warrant changing our
separate-rate determination. Therefore,
in these Final Results, we have
continued to treat Foshan Shunde as
part of the PRC-wide entity because
Foshan Shunde’s responses contain
widespread and pervasive
discrepancies, for which the Department
is unable to parse any reliable data.

Antidumping Duty Administrative Review
AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration,

SUMMARY: On September 8, 2009, the U.S. Department of Commerce (the
Department) published the preliminary results of the August 1, 2007
through July 31, 2008 administrative review of the antidumping duty
order on floor-standing, metal-top 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:

46083 (September 8, 2008) (Preliminary Results). This review covers,
Foshan Shunde Yongjian Housewares & Hardwares Co., Ltd. (Foshan
Shunde), which we have determined to be part of the PRC-wide entity. We
invited interested parties to comment on the Preliminary Results.
Based on our analysis of the comments received, we have made no
changes to the findings presented in our Preliminary Results. The
weighted average dumping margin is listed below in the section entitled
``Final Results of Review.''
DATES: Effective Date: January 20, 2010.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Michael J. Heaney or Robert James, AD/
CVD Operations, Office 7, Import Administration, International Trade
Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and
Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482-
4475 or (202) 482-0649, respectively.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
We published in the Federal Register the preliminary results of
this administrative review on September 8, 2009. See Preliminary
Results.
Following the Preliminary Results, on October 8, 2009, the
Department received case briefs from Foshan Shunde and from Polder,
Inc., an importer of the subject merchandise. On October 13, 2009, Home
Products International, Inc., the Petitioner in this proceeding,
submitted a rebuttal brief.
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 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, the order specifically covers imports of ironing
tables, assembled or unassembled, complete or incomplete, and certain
parts thereof. For purposes of the 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
[[Page 3202]]
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--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 the 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
Foshan Shunde requested a separate, company-specific antidumping
duty rate. In the Preliminary Results, we found that Foshan Shunde
provided inaccurate and unreliable data, and as such, the Department
was unable to determine Foshan Shunde's eligibility for separate rate
status. Thus, the Department determined Foshan Shunde is properly
considered to be part of the PRC-wide entity. See Preliminary Results
at 46085; see also Carbazole Violet Pigment 23 from the People's
Republic of China: Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative
Review, 74 FR 883 (January 9, 2009) (where the Department revoked a
respondent's separate rate status after the respondent refused to
cooperate with the Department's administrative review). We have not
received any information since the Preliminary Results with respect to
Foshan Shunde that would warrant changing our separate-rate
determination. Therefore, in these Final Results, we have continued to
treat Foshan Shunde as part of the PRC-wide entity because Foshan
Shunde's responses contain widespread and pervasive discrepancies, for
which the Department is unable to parse any reliable data.
Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised in the case briefs by the parties and to which we
have responded are fully addressed in the Memorandum to Ronald K.
Lorentzen, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration, from
John M. Andersen, Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Operations entitled ``Issues and Decision
Memorandum for the Final Results in the Administrative Review of Floor-
Standing, Metal-Top Ironing Tables and Certain Parts Thereof from the
People's Republic of China'', (January 6, 2010) (Issues and Decision
Memorandum), which is hereby adopted by this notice. A list of the
issues raised, all of which are in the Issues and Decision Memorandum,
is attached to this notice as Appendix I. Parties can find a complete
discussion of all issues raised in the briefs and the corresponding
recommendations in this public memorandum, which is on file in the

addition, a complete version of the Issues and Decision Memorandum can
be accessed directly on the Web at https://trade.gov/ia. The paper copy
and electronic version of the Issues and Decision Memorandum are

Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on the comments received from interested parties, we have
made no changes to the analysis employed in the Preliminary Results.

Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (the Act) and 19 CFR 351.212(b), the Department will determine,
and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping
duties on all appropriate entries. The Department intends to issue
assessment instructions to CBP 15 days after the date of publication of
these final results of review. We will instruct CBP to assess
antidumping duties on all appropriate entries covered by this review.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon
publication of these final results of this administrative review for
all shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date, as
provided for by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For Foshan Shunde
the cash deposit rate will be 157.68 percent; (2) for previously-
investigated or reviewed PRC and non-PRC exporters not listed above
that have separate rates, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the
exporter-specific rate published for the most recent period; (3) for
all PRC exporters of subject merchandise that have not been found to be
entitled to a separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be the PRC-wide
rate of 157.68 percent; and (4) for all non-PRC exporters of subject
merchandise which have not received their own rate, the cash deposit
rate will be the rate applicable to the PRC exporters that supplied
that non-PRC exporter. These deposit requirements, when imposed, shall
remain in effect until further notice.
Notification to Interested Parties
This notice also serves as the final reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f) 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 presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and in the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping duties.
This notice also serves as the only reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the return or destruction or conversion to judicial
protective order of proprietary information disclosed under APO in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3).
[[Page 3203]]
Timely written 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 the terms of an
APO is a sanctionable violation.
This administrative review and this notice are published in
accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.
Dated: January 6, 2010.
Ronald K. Lorentzen,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
