ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
The Obama Administration
announces the Jobs and Innovation
Accelerator Challenge (Accelerator
Challenge), an initiative of 16 Federal
agencies and bureaus to accelerate
innovation-fueled job creation and
economic prosperity through publicprivate partnerships. The Accelerator
Challenge will offer, subject to the
availability of funds, a combination of
$33 million in funding from three
agencies and technical assistance
resources from 13 additional agencies
and bureaus to support customized
solutions for approximately 20
competitively selected industry clusters
in urban and rural regions across the
nation and across all sectors. A
competitive solicitation is expected to
be announced in May 2011.
President Obama has prioritized the
development of strong regions 1 as the
building blocks of a strong and globally
competitive American economy and as
key elements in our strategy for winning
the future. Understanding that jobs are
not created on Capitol Hill but in
America’s regions, the Obama
Administration is committed to smarter
use of existing Federal resources to
support regional innovation and
sustainable economic prosperity.
Knowing that regional innovation
clusters provide a globally proven
approach for developing economic
prosperity, this new, multi-agency
initiative creates an unprecedented
platform for integrating and
coordinating the wide range of Federal
economic development resources.
Each Accelerator Challenge
investment will serve as a catalyst for
leveraging private capital in the regions
from an array of sources such as
foundations, financial institutions,
corporations and other private sector
partners. Through its unprecedented
linking, aligning and leveraging of
Federal resources and by building
strategic public-private partnerships, the
Accelerator Challenge will foster broad

regional innovation, job creation, and
global competitiveness.
Funds awarded to the winning
applicants can be used to support and
accelerate a range of measurable
outcomes, including innovation,
commercialization, business formation
and expansion, development of a skilled
workforce, job creation, exports,
sustainable economic development and
global competitiveness in approximately
20 industry clusters that exhibit highgrowth development potential. These
successful clusters will promote growth
that is inclusive of the region’s
population.
This initiative represents the
implementation of a number of Obama
Administration policy priorities
including:
• Acceleration of bottom-up
innovation strategies encompassing
urban and rural geographies, as opposed
to imposing ‘‘one size fits all’’ solutions
from Washington; and
• Reduction of Federal programs silos
and promotion of more coordinated
Federal funding opportunities that offer
a more efficient system for customers to
access Federal resources.
The partner agencies and bureaus
include: Department of Commerce
(EDA, National Institute for Standards
and Technology (NIST), International
Trade Administration (ITA), and
Minority Business Development Agency
(MBDA)); Department of Labor
(Employment and Training
Administration (ETA)); Small Business
Administration (SBA); Department of
Education (ED); Department of
Agriculture (USDA); Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA); National
Science Foundation (NSF); Department
of Transportation (DOT); Department of
Health and Human Services (HHS);
Department of the Treasury (TREAS);
Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD); and Department of
Energy (DOE).
Subject to funding availability, the
total proposed funding for the
Accelerator Challenge is approximately
$33 million in direct Federal support
from the three funding agencies and
bureaus: EDA, ETA, and SBA. Specific
funding sources will be named in the
forthcoming FFO.
Clusters selected for funding may
receive specialized technical assistance
or other resources from partner agencies
and bureaus, which will offer this
assistance from existing programs and
initiatives. These resources include
Federally funded assets that can be
leveraged by the clusters and entities
that are available for collaborative
partnerships to strengthen the clusters.

Applicants will be asked to discuss
several components of their cluster.
They will be evaluated against criteria
that include: evidence of a high-growth
cluster; the cluster’s needs and
opportunities; a proposed project
concept and scope of work; and the
projected impact and measurable
outcomes. Outcomes might include how
Federal funds will be used to:
• Achieve sustainable economic
growth in the region;
• Augment business formation,
especially small businesses, and
leverage existing businesses and
manufacturing assets;
• Advance commercialization of
Federal and private research and
increase exports;
• Develop a skilled workforce
through outreach, training, and the
creation of career pathways; and
• Integrate historically underserved
businesses and communities into the
economic activities of the cluster.

2011, the Department issued its final
results in the administrative review of
the antidumping duty order on floorstanding, metal-top ironing tables and
certain parts thereof from the People’s
Republic of China, covering the period
August 1, 2008, to July 31, 2009. The
final results were subsequently released
to all parties in the proceeding, and
published in the Federal Register on
March 21, 2011. See Floor Standing,

Parts Thereof From the People’s
Republic of China: Final Results of

Review, 76 FR 2332 (March 21, 2011)
(Final Results). On March 22, 2011, and
pursuant to section 751(h) of the Act
and 19 CFR 351.224(c)(2), we received
a timely allegation from Home Products
International, the Petitioner in this
administrative review, that the
Department made ministerial errors
with respect to two aspects of the
margin calculation for Foshan Shunde
Yongjian Housewares & Hardware Co.
(Foshan Shunde). See Letter from
Petitioner to the Department of
Commerce, ‘‘Fifth Administrative
Review of Floor Standing, Metal-Top
Ironing Tables and Certain Parts Thereof
from the People’s Republic of China:
Ministerial Errors Reflected in the Final
Results of Review’’ dated March 22,
2011 (Petitioner Ministerial Letter).
On March 23, 2011, we received a
timely-filed allegation from Since
Hardware (Guangzhou) Co., Ltd. (Since
Hardware) which alleged a ministerial
error with respect to the Department’s
calculation of brokerage and handling.
See Letter from Since Hardware to the
Department of Commerce, titled ‘‘FloorStanding Metal-Top Ironing Tables from
China: Ministerial Error Comments’’
dated March 23, 2011 (Since Hardware

we received comments from Petitioner
regarding the ministerial error alleged
by Since Hardware. See Letter from
Petitioner to the Department of
Commerce, regarding ‘‘Fifth
Administrative Review of FloorStanding, Metal-Top Ironing Tables and
Certain Parts Thereof from the People’s
Republic of China: Petitioner’s Reply to
Ministerial Error Comments of Since
Hardware (Guangzhou) Co., Ltd.’’ dated
March 25, 2011 (Petitioners’ Response
Letter). On March 28, 2011, we received
comments from Foshan Shunde
regarding one of the ministerial errors
alleged by Petitioner. See Letter from
Foshan Shunde to the Department of
Commerce, regarding ‘‘Certain Ironing
Boards from the People’s Republic of
China Rebuttal Comments re Petitioner’s
Ministerial Error Comment’’ dated
March 28, 2011 (Foshan Shunde
Response Letter).
For a discussion of the Department’s
analysis of the allegations in the
Petitioner Ministerial Letter, Since
Hardware Ministerial Letter, Foshan
Shunde Response Letter, and Petitioner
Response Letter, see Memorandum from
Gary Taverman, Acting Deputy
Assistant Secretary for Antidumping
and Countervailing Duty Operations to
Ronald K. Lorentzen, Deputy Assistant
Secretary for Import Administration,
entitled, ‘‘Allegation of Ministerial
Errors in the Final Results of the
Antidumping Duty Administrative
Review of Floor Standing, Metal-Top
Ironing Tables, and Certain Parts
Thereof from the People’s Republic of
China: Foshan Shunde Yongjian
Housewares & Hardwares Co., Inc and
Since Hardware (Guangzhou) Co., Ltd.’’
dated April 20, 2011 (Ministerial Error
Allegation Memo).
A ministerial error, as defined at
section 751(h) of the Act, includes
‘‘errors in addition, subtraction, or other
arithmetic function, clerical errors
resulting from inaccurate copying,
duplication, or the like, and any other
type of unintentional error which {the
Department} considers ministerial.’’ See
also 19 CFR 351.224(f). In its Ministerial
Letter, Petitioner alleges that the
Department made two ministerial errors
in calculating Foshan Shunde’s
antidumping duty margin. First,
Petitioner alleges that the Department
made a ministerial error by including in
packing materials certain elements that
Foshan Shunde had classified as direct
materials in its questionnaire responses
to the Department. Second, Petitioner
alleges that in the calculation of
brokerage and handling expense, the
Department incorrectly applied the
weight and container size values
actually incurred by Foshan Shunde.
In its rebuttal letter, Foshan Shunde
commented only on Petitioner’s
allegation concerning the weight and
container size values incurred by
Foshan Shunde.
After analyzing Petitioner’s
ministerial error comments and Foshan
Shunde’s rebuttal comments, we have
determined, in accordance with section
751(h) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.224(e),
that we made ministerial errors with
respect to both of the ministerial errors
alleged by Petitioner. See Ministerial
Error Allegation Memorandum at 2. The
Department has corrected both the
factors of production spreadsheet for
Foshan Shunde and the margin program
to reflect the correction of these errors.
In its Ministerial Letter, Since
Hardware alleges that if the Department
applies a weight based methodology to
calculate brokerage and handling, it
must change the data selected so as not
to derive distorted results. In its rebuttal
comments, Petitioner asserts there is no
ministerial error in the Department’s
calculation of Since Hardware’s
brokerage and handling cost. Petitioner
asserts that the Department’s Final
Results reflect the container size and
shipment weight which the Department
intended to use in its calculations. After
analyzing Since Hardware’s ministerial
error comments and Petitioner’s rebuttal
comments, we have determined that we
made no error in our calculation of
Since Hardware’s brokerage and
handling. Id. Accordingly, we have
made no changes to our calculation of
Since Hardware’s final margin.
Based upon the foregoing, in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(e), we
are amending the final results margin
calculation in this antidumping duty
administrative review of ironing tables
and certain parts thereof from the
People’s Republic of China for Foshan
Shunde. After correcting for the
ministerial errors with respect to (1) the
elements included within direct
materials and packing, and (2) the
weight and container size values
incurred by Foshan Shunde, the
amended final weighted-average
dumping margin has changed for

Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the
Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b), the
Department shall 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 amended final
results of review. For assessment
purposes, where possible, we calculated
importer-specific assessment rates for
subject ironing tables from the PRC via
ad valorem duty assessment rates based
on the ratio of the total amount of the
dumping margins calculated for the
examined sales to the total entered
value of those same sales. 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 for any
entries made on or after March 21, 2011,
the date of publication of the Final
Results, 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 the amended 23.61 percent
shown above; (2) for Since Hardware,
the cash deposit rate will continue to be
70. 05 percent; (3) for previouslyinvestigated or reviewed PRC and nonPRC 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; (4)
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 (5) for all nonPRC 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.

In the event the Department limits the
number of respondents for individual
examination for administrative reviews,
the Department intends to select
respondents based on U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’) data for U.S.
imports during the period of review
(‘‘POR’’). We intend to release the CBP
data under Administrative Protective
Order (‘‘APO’’) to all parties having an
APO within seven days of publication of
this initiation notice and to make our
decision regarding respondent selection
within 21 days of publication of this
Federal Register notice. The
Department invites comments regarding
the CBP data and respondent selection
within five days of placement of the
CBP data on the record of the applicable
review.
Separate Rates
In proceedings involving non-market
economy (‘‘NME’’) countries, the
Department begins with a rebuttable
presumption that all companies within
the country are subject to government
control and, thus, should be assigned a
single antidumping duty deposit rate. It
is the Department’s policy to assign all
exporters of merchandise subject to an
administrative review in an NME
country this single rate unless an
exporter can demonstrate that it is
sufficiently independent so as to be
entitled to a separate rate.

merchandise which have not received their own rate, the cash deposit
rate will be the rate applicable to the PRC exporters that supplied

Notification of Interested Parties
This notice also serves as a final reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) 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 the antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping duties.
This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective orders (APOs) of their responsibility
concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305, which continues
to govern business proprietary information in this segment of the
proceeding. Timely written notification of the return/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 that is subject to sanction.
We are issuing and publishing these amended final results of review
and notice in accordance with sections 751(h) and 777(i) of the Act.
Dated: April 20, 2011.
Ronald K. Lorentzen,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
