Invitation To Comment
DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
The National Institute of Food and
Agriculture (NIFA), established in
Section 7511 of the Food, Conservation,
and Energy Act of 2008 (Pub. L. 110–
246), serves the nation’s needs by
supporting exemplary research,
education, and extension that address
many challenges facing the nation.
NIFA works with scientists at
universities and colleges throughout the
United States and around the world to
find innovative solutions to critical
issues facing rural communities and
American consumers including global
food security and hunger, climate
change, sustainable energy, childhood
obesity and food safety.
Section 724 of Title VII, General
Provisions, in the Agriculture, Rural
Development, Food and Drug
Administration, and Related Agencies
Programs Appropriations Act, 2010
(Pub. L. 111–80) provided $4 million to
the Secretary of Agriculture to award
grant(s) to develop and field test new
food products designed to improve the
nutritional delivery of humanitarian
food assistance provided through the
McGovern-Dole (section 3107 of the
Farm Security and Rural Investment Act
of 2002 (7 U.S.C. 1736o–1)) and the
Food for Peace title II (7 U.S.C. 1691 et
seq.) programs.

Background
As one step in conducting the
assessments on Improving Food Aid and
Providing Safe Water, NIFA is soliciting
input from interested stakeholders on
the following questions. Comments
received will be considered as the
assessment reports are developed. NIFA
will not endorse particular products or
approaches, and will focus its
assessments on the steps that are needed
for improving existing methods and
technologies, or for developing new
methods and technologies.
Respondents may address as many of
the following questions as they wish.
Patent and Trademark Office
The Committee is aware of significant
advances in food science and technology that
should be utilized to cost-effectively improve
products beneficial for use in food assistance
programs and the Secretary is directed, acting
through the Undersecretary for Research,
Education, and Economics, to carry out a
grants program to better incorporate those
and other advances as part of McGovern-Dole
and Food for Peace title II programs. The
report continues, that the Secretary is
encouraged, through the authorities of the
Research, Education, and Economics mission
area, to conduct assessments of methods and
tools used by non-governmental
organizations and international agencies to
assess nutritional gaps among populations
served by U.S. humanitarian food assistance
programs with recommendations on how to
improve such programs in the field at the
lowest possible cost. The Secretary should
also undertake an assessment on the most
cost-effective technologies for the
purification and supply of safe water which
could be implemented in the field to benefit
these highly vulnerable populations and to
make recommendations on the most costeffective and commercially available systems
that require priority research assistance.

Certain Woven Electric Blankets from
the People’s Republic of China:
Amended Final Determination of Sales
at Less Than Fair Value

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Amendment to the Final Determination:
In accordance with sections 735(d)
and 777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930,
as amended, (‘‘the Act’’), on July 2, 2010,
the Department of Commerce
(‘‘Department’’) published the final
determination of sales at less than fair
value (‘‘LTFV’’) in the antidumping
investigation of certain woven electric
blankets (‘‘woven electric blankets’’)
from the People’s Republic of China
(‘‘PRC’’). See Certain Woven Electric
Blankets From the People’s Republic of
China: Final Determination of Sales at
Less Than Fair Value, 75 FR 38459 (July
2, 2010) (‘‘Final Determination’’).
On July 6, 2010, Jarden Consumer
Solutions (‘‘Petitioner’’) filed a timely
allegation that the Department made
various ministerial errors in the Final
Determination and requested, pursuant
to 19 CFR 351.224, that the Department
correct the alleged ministerial errors in
the calculation of the margins for
respondent, Hung Kuo Electronics
(Shenzhen) Company Limited (‘‘Hung
Kuo’’). No other parties in this
proceeding submitted comments on the
Department’s final margin calculations
or replies to Petitioner’s submission.
A ministerial error is defined as an
error ‘‘in addition, subtraction, or other
arithmetic function, clerical error
resulting from inaccurate copying,
duplication, or the like, and any other
type of unintentional error which the
Department considers ministerial.’’ See
section 735(e) of the Act; see also 19
CFR 351.224(f).
After analyzing Petitioner’s
comments, we have determined, in
accordance with section 735(e) of the
Act and 19 CFR 351.224(e), that we
made certain inadvertent ministerial
errors in our calculations for the final
determination with respect to Hung
Kuo. For a detailed discussion of these
ministerial errors, as well as the
Department’s analysis of these errors,
see Memorandum to Abdelali
Elouaradia, Director, AD/CVD
Operations, Office 4, through Howard
Smith, Program Manager, AD/CVD
Operations, Office 4, concerning,
‘‘Antidumping Duty Investigation of
Certain Woven Electric Blankets from
the People’s Republic of China: Analysis
of Ministerial Error Allegations,’’ dated
July 28, 2010.
Additionally, in the Final
Determination, we determined that
Ningbo V.K. Industry & Trading Co.,
Ltd., and Ningbo Jifa Electrical
Appliances Co., Ltd./Ningbo Jinchun
Electric Appliances Co., Ltd. had
demonstrated their eligibility to receive
a separate rate. See Final Determination,
75 FR 38459–38461. In the Final
Determination, we assigned Ningbo V.K.
Industry & Trading Co., Ltd., and
Ningbo Jifa Electrical Appliances Co.,
Ltd./Ningbo Jinchun Electric
Appliances Co., Ltd. the dumping rate
calculated for Hung Kuo. For this
amended final determination, we have
assigned these companies Hung Kuo’s
recalculated dumping rate.
We have made no changes to the
margin selected for the PRC–wide
entity.
Therefore, in accordance with section
735(e) of the Act, we are amending the
final determination of sales at LTFV in
the antidumping duty investigation of
woven electric blankets from the PRC.
After correcting these ministerial errors,
the revised final weighted–average
dumping margins are as follows:
Amended Final Determination Margins
We determine that the following
weighted–average dumping margins
exist for the period October 1, 2008,
through March 31, 2009:
