Postponement of Preliminary
Determination
On April 27, 2011, the Department of
Commerce (the Department) initiated
the antidumping duty investigation on
nails from the United Arab Emirates.
See Certain Steel Nails From the United
Arab Emirates: Initiation of
Antidumping Duty Investigation, 76 FR

initiation stated that the Department
would issue its preliminary

the initiation in accordance with section
733(b)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (the Act), and 19 CFR
351.205(b)(1) unless postponed.
On August 8, 2011, Mid Continent

timely request pursuant to section
733(c)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.205(b)(2) and (e) for postponement
of the preliminary determination in this

investigation.
The petitioner submitted a request for
postponement of the preliminary
determination more than 25 days before
the scheduled date of the preliminary
determination. See 19 CFR 351.205(e).

CFR 351.205(e) and section 733(c)(1)(A)
of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended
(the Act), for a 50-day postponement of
the preliminary determinations in the
investigations. The petitioner stated that
a postponement of these preliminary
determinations is necessary because of
the complexities of the investigations,
the novelty of the issues raised, and
because the Department is still involved
in gathering and analyzing data from the
respondents.
Under section 733(c)(1)(A) of the Act,
if the petitioner makes a timely request
for an extension of the period within
which the preliminary determination
must be made under subsection (b)(1),
then the Department may postpone
making the preliminary determination
under subsection (b)(1) until not later
than the 190th day after the date on
which the administering authority
initiated the investigation. Therefore,
because there are no compelling reasons
to deny its requests, the Department is
postponing the preliminary
determinations in these investigations
until October 26, 2011, which is
190 days from the date on which the
Department initiated these
investigations.
The deadline for the final
determinations will continue to be

(January 3, 2011). As a result of its

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

2011), and USITC Publication 4250
(August 2011), Heavy Forged Hand
Tools from China: Investigation Nos.

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

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

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.
