SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Background
On January 28, 2011, the Department
of Commerce (the Department)
published in the Federal Register the
initiation of administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on hand trucks
and certain parts thereof from the
People’s Republic of China, covering the
period December 1, 2009, to November
30, 2010. See Initiation of Antidumping
and Countervailing Duty Administrative
Reviews, 76 FR 5137 (January 28, 2011).
The current deadline for the preliminary
results of this review is September 2,
2011.
Scope of the Order
The merchandise subject to this
antidumping duty order consists of
hand trucks manufactured from any
material, whether assembled or
unassembled, complete or incomplete,
suitable for any use, and certain parts
thereof, namely the vertical frame, the
handling area and the projecting edges
or toe plate, and any combination
thereof. A complete or fully assembled
hand truck is a hand-propelled barrow
consisting of a vertically disposed frame
having a handle or more than one
handle at or near the upper section of
the vertical frame; at least two wheels at
or near the lower section of the vertical
frame; and a horizontal projecting edge
or edges, or toe plate, perpendicular or
angled to the vertical frame, at or near
the lower section of the vertical frame.
The projecting edge or edges, or toe
plate, slides under a load for purposes
of lifting and/or moving the load.
That the vertical frame can be
converted from a vertical setting to a
horizontal setting, then operated in that
horizontal setting as a platform, is not
a basis for exclusion of the hand truck
from the scope of this petition. That the
vertical frame, handling area, wheels,
projecting edges or other parts of the
hand truck can be collapsed or folded is
not a basis for exclusion of the hand
truck from the scope of the petition.
That other wheels may be connected to
the vertical frame, handling area,
projecting edges, or other parts of the
hand truck, in addition to the two or

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
more wheels located at or near the lower
section of the vertical frame, is not a
basis for exclusion of the hand truck
from the scope of the petition. Finally,
that the hand truck may exhibit physical
characteristics in addition to the vertical
frame, the handling area, the projecting
edges or toe plate, and the two wheels
at or near the lower section of the
vertical frame, is not a basis for
exclusion of the hand truck from the
scope of the petition.
Examples of names commonly used to
reference hand trucks are hand truck,
convertible hand truck, appliance hand
truck, cylinder hand truck, bag truck,
dolly, or hand trolley. They are typically
imported under heading 8716.80.50.10
of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of
the United States (HTSUS), although
they may also be imported under
heading 8716.80.50.90. Specific parts of
a hand truck, namely the vertical frame,
the handling area and the projecting
edges or toe plate, or any combination
thereof, are typically imported under
heading 8716.90.50.60 of the HTSUS.
Although the HTSUS subheadings are
provided for convenience and customs
purposes, the Department’s written
description of the scope is dispositive.
Excluded from the scope are small
two-wheel or four-wheel utility carts
specifically designed for carrying loads
like personal bags or luggage in which
the frame is made from telescoping
tubular materials measuring less than 5⁄8
inch in diameter; hand trucks that use
motorized operations either to move the
hand truck from one location to the next
or to assist in the lifting of items placed
on the hand truck; vertical carriers
designed specifically to transport golf
bags; and wheels and tires used in the
manufacture of hand trucks.
Extension of Time Limits for
Preliminary Results of Review
Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act
of 1930, as amended (the Act), requires
that the Department complete the
preliminary results of an administrative
review within 245 days after the last day
of the anniversary month of an order for
which a review is requested. However,
if it is not practicable to complete the
review within this time period, section
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows the
Department to extend the time limit for
the preliminary results to a maximum of
365 days after the last day of the
anniversary month of an order for which
a review is requested.
The Department finds that it is not
practicable to complete the preliminary
results of this review within the original
time frame because comments from
interested parties have necessitated the
solicitation and subsequent analysis of
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 223001
additional information from the
respondent, New-Tec Integration
(Xiamen) Co., Ltd. This additional
information covers a wide range of
issues and is extensive. The Department
requires additional time to gather and
analyze the additional information.
Thus, the Department finds it is not
practicable to complete this review
within the original time limit (i.e.,
September 2, 2011). Accordingly, the
Department is extending the time limit
for completion of the preliminary
results of this administrative review by
120 days (i.e., until January 3, 2012),1 in
accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of
the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2). We
intend to issue the final results no later
than 120 days after publication of the
preliminary results notice.
This extension is issued and
published in accordance with sections
751(a)(3)(A) and 777(i) of the Act.

Case History
On March 30, 2011, the Department
received a countervailing duty (CVD)
petition concerning imports of steel
wheels from the PRC filed in proper
form by Accuride Corporation
(Accuride) and Hayes Lemmerz
International, Inc. (collectively,
petitioners).1 This investigation was
initiated on April 19, 2011. See Certain
Steel Wheels From the People’s
Republic of China: Initiation of
Countervailing Duty Investigation, 76 FR
23302 (April 26, 2011) (Initiation
Notice), and accompanying Initiation
Checklist.
In the Initiation Notice, the
Department stated that it intended to
rely on data from U.S. Customs and
Border Patrol (CBP) for purposes of
selecting the mandatory respondents.
See Initiation Notice, 76 FR at 23304.
On April 20, 2011, the Department
released the results of a query
performed on the CBP’s database for
calendar year 2010. See Memorandum
to the File from Robert Copyak, Senior
Financial Analyst, AD/CVD Operations,
Office 3, regarding ‘‘Release of Query
Results of Customs and Border Patrol
Database’’ (April 20, 2011). Due to the
large number of producers and exporters
of steel wheels in the PRC, we
determined that it was not practicable to
individually investigate each producer
and/or exporter. We, therefore, selected
the following three producers and/or
exporters of steel wheels to be
mandatory respondents: Jiangsu
Yuantong Auto Parts Co., Ltd.
(Yuantong), Zhejiang Jinfei Machinery
Group Co. Ltd. (Zhejiang Jinfei), and
Zhejiang Jingu Automobile Components
(Zhejiang Jingu),2 the largest publicly
identifiable producers and/or exporters
of the subject merchandise.3 See
1 See Petition for the Imposition of Countervailing
Duties (Petition). A public version of the Petition
and all other public documents and public versions
for this investigation are available on the public file
in the Central Records Unit (CRU), Room 7046 of
the main Department of Commerce building.
2 We use the term Jingu Companies to refer
collectively to Zhejiang Jingu and its cross-owned
affiliates under examination in this investigation.
3 The companies are listed in alphabetical order
and not listed based on export value/volume.

addition to the two or

more wheels located at or near the lower section of the vertical frame,
