Less Than Fair Value

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce
(the ‘‘Department’’) has determined that
imports of steel wire garment hangers
(‘‘hangers’’) from Taiwan are being, or
are likely to be, sold in the United States
at less than fair value (‘‘LTFV’’), as
provided in section 735 of the Tariff Act
of 1930, as amended (the ‘‘Act’’). The
estimated margins of sales at LTFV are
listed in the ‘‘Continuation of
Suspension of Liquidation’’ section of
this notice.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Background
On August 2, 2012, the Department
published in the Federal Register the
Preliminary Determination in the
antidumping duty investigation of
hangers from Taiwan.1 No interested
party provided case briefs or rebuttal
briefs.
Period of Investigation
The period of investigation (‘‘POI’’) is
October 1, 2010, through September 30,
2011.
Scope of Investigation
The merchandise subject to this
investigation is steel wire garment
hangers, fabricated from carbon steel
wire, whether or not galvanized or
painted, whether or not coated with
latex or epoxy or similar gripping
materials, and whether or not fashioned
with paper covers or capes (with or
without printing) or nonslip features
such as saddles or tubes. These products
may also be referred to by a commercial
designation, such as shirt, suit, strut,
caped, or latex (industrial) hangers.
Specifically excluded from the scope
of the investigation are (a) wooden,
plastic, and other garment hangers that
are not made of steel wire; (b) steel wire
garment hangers with swivel hooks; (c)
steel wire garment hangers with clips
permanently affixed; and (d) chrome
plated steel wire garment hangers with
a diameter of 3.4 mm or greater.
The products subject to the
investigation are currently classified
under U.S. Harmonized Tariff Schedule
(‘‘HTSUS’’) subheadings 7326.20.0020
and 7323.99.9080. Although the HTSUS
subheadings are provided for
convenience and customs purposes, the
written description of the merchandise
is dispositive.
Final Determination of Sales at LTFV
As noted in the Preliminary
Determination, because the
antidumping duty questionnaires sent to
the selected respondent, Golden Canyon
Ltd. (‘‘Golden Canyon’’), were returned
as undeliverable, in accordance with
our practice, we classified Golden
Canyon as an unlocated company and

(‘‘Preliminary Determination’’).

assigned it the all others rate.2 For the
other selected respondent, Taiwan
Hanger Manufacturing Co., Ltd.
(‘‘Taiwan Hanger’’), in the Preliminary
Determination we applied facts
otherwise available with an adverse
inference, because Taiwan Hanger twice
received the questionnaire, and then
returned the questionnaire to the
Department at a later date.3 We note that
our determination here with respect to
Golden Canyon and Taiwan Hanger is
identical to our determination in the
Preliminary Determination.4
Continuation of Suspension of
Liquidation
Pursuant to section 735(c)(1)(B) of the
Act, we will instruct U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’) to continue
to suspend liquidation of all entries of
hangers from Taiwan which were
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after August 2,
2012, the date of publication of the
Preliminary Determination. We will
instruct CBP to require a cash deposit or
the posting of a bond equal to the
weighted-average margins, as indicated
below, as follows: (1) The rates for
Golden Canyon and Taiwan Hanger will
be the rates we have determined in this
final determination; (2) if the exporter is
not a firm identified in this
investigation but the producer is, the
rate will be the rate established for the
producer of the subject merchandise; (3)
the rate for all other producers or
exporters will be 69.98 percent, as
discussed in the ‘‘All Others Rate’’
section, below. These suspension-ofliquidation instructions will remain in
effect until further notice.

weighted-average dumping margins
established for exporters and producers
individually investigated excluding any
zero or de minimis margins and any
margins determined entirely under
section 776 of the Act. No respondent
has participated in this investigation.
Therefore, as noted in the Preliminary
Determination, because the only
dumping margins for this final
determination are found in the petition,
the all others rate is a simple average of
these values, which is 69.98 percent.5
Disclosure
We intend to disclose to parties in
this proceeding the calculations
performed within five days of the date
of publication of this notice in
accordance with section 351.224(b) of
the Department’s regulations.
International Trade Commission
Notification
In accordance with section 735(d) of
the Act, we have notified the
International Trade Commission (‘‘ITC’’)
of our final determination. As our final
determination is affirmative and in
accordance with section 735(b)(2) of the
Act, the ITC will determine, within 45
days, whether the domestic industry in
the United States is materially injured,
or threatened with material injury, by
reason of imports or sales (or the
likelihood of sales) for importation of
the subject merchandise. If the ITC
determines that such injury does exist,
the Department will issue an
antidumping duty order directing CBP
to assess antidumping duties on all
imports of the subject merchandise
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the effective
date of the suspension of liquidation.

Department’s regulations. Timely
notification of the destruction of APO

Failure to comply with the regulations

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
I. Abstract
This request is for revision and
extension of a current information
collection. Under the Magnuson-Stevens
Fishery Conservation and Management
Act, the Secretary of Commerce has the
responsibility for the conservation and
management of marine fishery
resources. We, National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA)
National Marine Fisheries Service
(NMFS), and the Regional Fishery
Management Councils are delegated the
majority of this responsibility. The New
England Fishery Management Council
(Council) develops management plans
for fishery resources in New England.

In 2010, we implemented a new suite
of regulations for the Northeast (NE)
multispecies fishery through
Amendment 16 to the Multispecies
Fishery Management Plan (Amendment
16). This action updated status
determination criteria for all regulated
NE multispecies or ocean pout stocks;
adopted rebuilding programs for NE
multispecies stocks newly classified as
being overfished and subject to
overfishing; revised management
measures, including significant
revisions to the sector management
measures, necessary to end overfishing,
rebuild overfished regulated NE
multispecies and ocean pout stocks, and
mitigate the adverse economic impacts
of increased effort controls. It also
implemented new requirements under
Amendment 16 for establishing
acceptable biological catch (ABC),
annual catch limits (ACLs), and
accountability measures (AMs) for each
stock managed under the FMP, pursuant
to the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act
(Magnuson-Stevens Act).
Revisions:
Not all measures that were included
in Amendment 16 were ultimately
approved, including the Gulf of Maine
Sink Gillnet Pilot Program, which
would have necessitated a Letter of
Authorization (LOA) had it been
approved. Therefore, we propose to
remove this requirement from the
information collection. In addition,
Framework 47 to the Multispecies FMP
removed Restricted Gear Requirements
from the regulations. Therefore the
requirement to declare into these areas
via vessel monitoring system (VMS), or
to receive an LOA are also proposed to
be removed from this information
collection.
In an attempt to consolidate reporting
requirements that are mandated by the
NE multispecies regulation, we propose
moving some requirements out of OMB
Control No. 0648–0202, Northeast
Region Permit Family of Forms, and
into this collection, including: The
Days-at-Sea (DAS) Transfer Program,
Expedited Submission of Proposed
Special Access Programs (SAPs), and
North Atlantic Fisheries Organization
(NAFO) Reporting Requirements.
II. Method of Collection
Respondents must submit either
paper forms via postal service, or
electronic forms submitted via the
internet or vessels’ vessel monitoring
system (VMS).
III. Data
OMB Control Number: 0648–0605.
Form Number: None.
