conducted an expedited (120-day)
sunset review of this AD order.
Scope of the Order
The scope of this order covers certain
non-motorized tow behind lawn
groomers, manufactured from any
material, and certain parts thereof. Lawn
groomers are defined as lawn sweepers,
aerators, dethatchers, and spreaders.
Unless specifically excluded, lawn
groomers that are designed to perform at
least one of the functions listed above
are included in the scope of this order,
even if the lawn groomer is designed to
perform additional non-subject
functions (e.g., mowing).
The scope of this order specifically
excludes the following: (1) Agricultural
implements designed to work (e.g.,
churn, burrow, till, etc.) soil, such as
cultivators, harrows, and plows; (2)
lawn or farm carts and wagons that do
not groom lawns; (3) grooming products
incorporating a motor or an engine for
the purpose of operating and/or
propelling the lawn groomer; (4) lawn
groomers that are designed to be hand
held or are designed to be attached
directly to the frame of a vehicle, rather
than towed; (5) ‘‘push’’ lawn grooming
products that incorporate a push handle
rather than a hitch, and which are
designed solely to be manually
operated; (6) dethatchers with a net
assembled weight (i.e., without packing,
additional weights, or accessories) of
more than 100 pounds, or lawn
groomers—sweepers, aerators, and
spreaders—with a net fully-assembled
weight (i.e., without packing, additional
weights, or accessories) of more than
200 pounds; and (7) lawn rollers
designed to flatten grass and turf,
including lawn rollers which
incorporate an aerator component (e.g.,
‘‘drum-style’’ spike aerators).
The lawn groomers that are the
subject of this order are currently
classifiable in the Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States
(‘‘HTSUS’’) statistical reporting numbers
8432.40.0000, 8432.80.0000,
8432.80.0010, 8432.90.0030,
8432.90.0080, 8479.89.9896,
8479.89.9897, 8479.90.9496, and
9603.50.0000. These HTSUS provisions
are given for reference and customs
purposes only, and the description of
merchandise is dispositive for

A complete discussion of all issues
raised in this sunset review is provided
in the accompanying I&D Memorandum.
The issues discussed in the I&D

revoked. The I&D Memorandum is a
public document and is on file
electronically via Enforcement and
Compliance’s Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Centralized

Final Results of Sunset Reviews
Pursuant to section 752(c)(3) of the
Act, the Department determines that
revocation of the AD order on lawn
groomers from the PRC would be likely
to lead to continuation or recurrence of
dumping at weighted-average margins
up to 386.28 percent.4

Background
On September 22, 2014, the
Department of Commerce (the
‘‘Department’’) initiated the
countervailing duty investigation of
boltless steel shelving units
prepackaged for sale (‘‘steel shelves’’)

extraordinarily complicated. On October
21, 2014, Edsal Manufacturing Co., Inc.
(‘‘Petitioner’’) made a timely request to
postpone the preliminary countervailing
duty determination.2 Moreover, the
Department has not yet chosen
mandatory respondents. In addition, the
Department determines that, thus far,
the parties concerned are cooperating
because each has made an entry of
appearance in this investigation.3 Also,
the Department must analyze 19
complicated programs 4 for each
respondent, including companies that
are cross-owned with each respondent,
and likely issue multiple supplemental
questionnaires. For all these reasons, the
Department finds this investigation to
be extraordinarily complicated within
the meaning of section 703(c)(1)(B) of
the Act, and is hereby fully postponing
the preliminary countervailing duty
determination by 130 days. Therefore,
pursuant to the discretion afforded to
the Department under section
703(c)(1)(B) of the Act, we are
postponing the due date for the
preliminary determination to no later
than January 23, 2015.
This notice is issued and published
pursuant to section 703(c)(2) of the Act
and 19 CFR 351.205(f)(1).

Postponement of Due Date for the
Preliminary Determination
Section 703(b)(1) of the Tariff Act of
1930, as amended (the ‘‘Act’’), requires
the Department to issue the preliminary
determination in a countervailing duty
investigation within 65 days after the
date on which the Department initiated
the investigation. However, section
703(c)(1) of the Act permits the
Department to postpone making the
preliminary determination until no later
than 130 days after the date on which
it initiated the investigation if, among
other reasons, the petitioner makes a
timely request for a postponement, or
the Department concludes that the
parties concerned are cooperating and
determines that the investigation is
