(‘‘Hand Tools’’) from the People’s
Republic of China (‘‘PRC’’) would likely
lead to continuation or recurrence of
dumping and of material injury to an
industry in the United States, the
Department is publishing a notice of
continuation of the antidumping duty
orders.
DATES: Effective Date: August 22, 2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On
January 3, 2011, the Department
initiated the third sunset review of the
antidumping duty orders on Hand Tools
from the PRC pursuant to section
751(c)(2) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (‘‘Act’’). See Initiation of FiveYear (‘‘Sunset’’) Review, 76 FR 89
(January 3, 2011). As a result of its
review, the Department found that
revocation of the antidumping duty
orders would likely lead to continuation
or recurrence of dumping and notified
the ITC of the magnitude of the margins
likely to prevail were the orders to be
revoked. See Heavy Forged Hand Tools
(i.e., Axes & Adzes, Bars & Wedges,
Hammers & Sledges, and Picks &
Mattocks) From the People’s Republic of
China: Final Results of the Expedited
Sunset Review of the Antidumping Duty
Orders, 76 FR 24856 (May 3, 2011).
On August 10, 2011, the ITC
determined, pursuant to section 751(c)
of the Act, that revocation of the
antidumping duty orders on Hand Tools
from the PRC would likely lead to
continuation or recurrence of material
injury to an industry in the United
States. See Heavy Forged Hand Tools
From China, 76 FR 50755 (August 16,
2011), and USITC Publication 4250
(August 2011), Heavy Forged Hand
Tools from China: Investigation Nos.
731–TA–457–A–D (Third Review).
Scope of the Orders
The products covered by these orders
are Hand Tools comprising the
following classes or kinds of
merchandise: (1) Hammers and sledges
with heads over 1.5 kg (3.33 pounds);
(2) bars over 18 inches in length, track
tools and wedges; (3) picks and
mattocks; and (4) axes, adzes and

painted, which may or may not be
finished, or which may or may not be
imported with handles; assorted bar
products and track tools including
wrecking bars, digging bars, and
tampers; and steel wood splitting
wedges. Hand Tools are manufactured
through a hot forge operation in which
steel is sheared to required length,
heated to forging temperature, and
formed to final shape on forging
equipment using dies specific to the
desired product shape and size.
Depending on the product, finishing
operations may include shot blasting,
grinding, polishing and painting, and
the insertion of handles for handled
products. Hand Tools are currently
provided for under the following
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States subheadings: 8205.20.60,
8205.59.30, 8201.30.00, and 8201.40.60.
Specifically excluded from these orders
are hammers and sledges with heads 1.5
kg. (3.33 pounds) in weight and under,
hoes and rakes, and bars 18 inches in
length and under. The tariff
classifications are provided for
convenience and customs purposes;
however, the written description of the
scope of the orders is dispositive.
Continuation of the Orders
As a result of the determinations by
the Department and the ITC that
revocation of the antidumping duty
orders would likely lead to continuation
or recurrence of dumping and material
injury to an industry in the United
States, pursuant to section 751(d)(2) of
the Act, the Department hereby orders
the continuation of the antidumping
duty orders on Hand Tools from the
PRC. U.S. Customs and Border
Protection will continue to collect
antidumping duty cash deposits at the
rates in effect at the time of entry for all
imports of subject merchandise.
The effective date of continuation of
the orders will be the date of
publication in the Federal Register of
this notice of continuation. Pursuant to
section 751(c)(2) of the Act, the
Department intends to initiate the next
five-year review of the orders no later
than 30 days prior to the fifth
anniversary of the effective date of
continuation.
This five-year (sunset) review and this
notice are in accordance with sections
751(c) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19
CFR 351.218(f)(4).
Dated: August 16, 2011.

Scientific Instruments
Pursuant to Section 6(c) of the
Educational, Scientific and Cultural
Materials Importation Act of 1966 (Pub.
L. 89–651, as amended by Pub. L. 106–
36; 80 Stat. 897; 15 CFR part 301), we
invite comments on the question of
whether instruments of equivalent
scientific value, for the purposes for
which the instruments shown below are
intended to be used, are being
manufactured in the United States.
Comments must comply with 15 CFR
301.5(a)(3) and (4) of the regulations and
be postmarked on or before September
12, 2011. Address written comments to
Statutory Import Programs Staff, Room
3720, U.S. Department of Commerce,
Washington, DC 20230. Applications
may be examined between 8:30 a.m. and
5 p.m. at the U.S. Department of
Commerce in Room 3720.
Docket Number: 11–026. Applicant:
Purdue University, 745 Agriculture Mall
Dr., West Lafayette, IN 47907.
Instrument: SPSx Moisture Sorption
Analyzer. Manufacturer: Projekt
Messtechnik, Germany. Intended Use:
The SPSx will be used to monitor the
water-solid interaction behavior of food
ingredients (both amorphous and
crystalline) and blends of powdered
food ingredients. The instrument
monitors water-solid interactions by
taking gravimetric measurement of
samples continuously using a
microbalance to monitor sample weight
after exposure to the programmed
relative humidity and temperature
conditions. The SPSx is the leading
instrument in monitoring multiple
samples exposed to the same
experimental conditions by use of a
sampling wheel and enclosed top
weighing balance, allowing for the
measurement of up to 23 samples in a
single experimental protocol. A unique
feature of this instrument is that it
monitors multiple samples at one time,
ensuring that conditions do not vary
from one experiment to the next.
Justification for Duty-Free Entry: There
are no instruments of the same general
category being manufactured in the
United States. Application accepted by
Commissioner of Customs: March 23,
2011.
Dated: August 16, 2011.
