United States, 291 F.3d 806 (Fed Cir. 2002), as appropriate, whether antidumping duties have been absorbed by an exporter or producer subject to the review if the subject merchandise is sold in the United States through an importer that is affiliated with such exporter or producer. The request must include the name(s) of the exporter or producer for which the inquiry is requested. For the first administrative review of any order, there will be no assessment of antidumping or countervailing duties on entries of subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption during the relevant provisional-measures ‘‘gap’’ period, of the order, if such a gap period is applicable to the period of review.

The Department did not receive any objections to the deferral within 15 days after the end of the anniversary month. As such, we will initiate the administrative review with respect to Misumi Corporation in the month immediately following the next anniversary month.

Statutory Time Limits Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘Act’’), requires the Department to make a preliminary determination within 245 days after the last day of the anniversary month of an order for which a review is requested and a final determination within 120 days after the date on which the preliminary results are published. However, if it is not practicable to complete the review within these time periods, section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows the Department to extend the time limit for the preliminary determination to a maximum of 365 days after the last day of the anniversary month. Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results of Review We determine that it is not practicable to complete the preliminary results of this review within the current time limits. The Department requires additional time to analyze recently submitted supplemental questionnaire responses, which contained a significant amount of new sales and factors of production data. The additional time is needed to consider these data and their incorporation into the margin calculations for the individuallyreviewed respondents. Additionally, at parties’ request, the Department extended the deadline for submitting surrogate country and surrogate value data and comments. Therefore, the Department is hereby fully extending the time limits for completion of the preliminary results by 120 days. The preliminary results will now be due no later than August 30, 2012. The final results continue to be due 120 days after the publication of the preliminary results.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: AGENCY: Background mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES On March 1, 2012, the Department of Commerce (‘‘Department’’) published the final results of the second administrative review of the antidumping duty order on steel wire garment hangers (‘‘hangers’’) from the People’s Republic of China (‘‘PRC’’).1 On March 5, 2012, Petitioner 2 filed a timely allegation that the Department made two ministerial errors in the Final Results and requested, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.224, that the Department correct the alleged ministerial errors. No other party in this proceeding submitted comments on the Department’s final margin calculations. Based upon our analysis of the comments and allegations of ministerial errors, we have made changes to the margin calculations for Shanghai Wells Hanger Co., Ltd. (‘‘Shanghai Wells’’).3 Additionally, 1 See Steel Wire Garment Hangers From the People’s Republic of China: Final Results and Final Partial Rescission of Second Antidumping Administrative Review, 77 FR 12553 (March 1, 2012) (‘‘Final Results’’). 2 M&B Metal Products Co., Inc. (‘‘Petitioner’’). 3 In the Final Results, the Department found that that Shanghai Wells, Hong Kong Wells Limited (‘‘HK Wells’’) and Hong Kong Wells Limited (USA) (‘‘USA Wells’’) (collectively, ‘‘Wells Group’’) are affiliated and that Shanghai Wells and HK Wells comprise a single entity. See Final Results, 77 FR at 12554 n. 4. Petitioner’s ministerial error allegations do not challenge, and these amended final results do not affect, that determination. VerDate Mar<15>2010 19:11 Mar 29, 2012 Jkt 226001 Amended Final Results of the Review The Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘Act’’), defines a ‘‘ministerial error’’ as including ‘‘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 administering authority considers ministerial.’’ 4 After analyzing Petitioner’s comments, we have determined that we made certain ministerial errors, as defined by section 751(h) of the Act, in our calculations for the Final Results. First, we agree with Petitioner that we made a ministerial error in the calculation of the surrogate financial ratios of Nasco Steel Pvt., Ltd. (‘‘Nasco’’), which were used in Shanghai Wells’ margin calculation. Specifically, the Department inadvertently excluded Nasco’s commission on sales from selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A’’) for the calculation of surrogate SG&A ratio calculation, when we instead intended to include Nasco’s commission on sales in the surrogate SG&A ratio calculation. Lastly, we agree 4 See section 751(h) of the Act; see also 19 CFR 351.224(f). PO 00000 Frm 00015 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 19191 with Petitioner’s second ministerial error allegation regarding the treatment of the net changes in finished goods inventory in the calculation of Sterling Tools Limited’s (‘‘Sterling’’) surrogate financial ratio calculations. Specifically, the Department inadvertently excluded the net changes in finished goods in the surrogate SG&A and profit ratio calculations for Sterling, when we instead intended to include the net changes in finished goods inventories in Sterling’s SG&A and profit ratios. Additionally, when reviewing the financial ratio calculations for J&K Wire Steel Industries Ltd. (‘‘JK Wire’’), we noted that we made the same inadvertent error in JK Wire’s SG&A and profit ratio calculation.5 For a detailed discussion of these ministerial errors, as well as the Department’s analysis of these errors, see Memorandum to James C. Doyle, from Bob Palmer, regarding ‘‘Second Antidumping Duty Administrative Review of Steel Wire Garment Hangers from the People’s Republic of China: Ministerial Error Memorandum,’’ dated concurrently with this notice (‘‘Ministerial Memo’’). The Ministerial Memo is a public document and is on file electronically via Import Administration’s Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service System (‘‘IA ACCESS’’). Access to IA ACCESS is available in the Central Records Unit (‘‘CRU’’), Main Commerce Building, Room 7046. In addition, a complete version of the Ministerial Memo can be accessed directly on the Internet at https://www.trade.gov/ia. The paper copy and electronic versions of the Ministerial Memo are identical in content. Therefore, in accordance with section 751(h) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.224(e), we are amending the Final Results of the administrative review of steel wire garment hangers from the PRC. Listed below are the weighted average dumping margins for these amended final results: 5 Petitioner states we made these adjustments to J&K Wire. However, the Department made these adjustments to Bandsidhar Granites Pvt. Ltd. (‘‘Bansidhar’’) and Nasco’s financial ratios. Moreover, consistent with the Department’s practice, we included net changes in traded goods in the SG&A and profit ratios for Bansidhar alone, given that we only make such an adjustment when the information is available and Bansidhar was the only surrogate company with a traded goods line item in its financial statement.

(``Act''), requires the Department to make a preliminary determination 
within 245 days after the last day of the anniversary month of an order

Therefore, the Department is hereby fully extending the time limits for 
completion of the preliminary results by 120 days. The preliminary 
results will now be due no later than August 30, 2012. The final 
results continue to be due 120 days after the publication of the 
preliminary results.
