DATES: Effective date: August 19, 2015.
SUMMARY: As a result of the
determinations by the Department of
Commerce (the Department) and the
International Trade Commission (ITC)
that revocation of the antidumping duty
order on hand trucks and certain parts
thereof (hand trucks) from the People’s
Republic of China (PRC) would likely
lead to a continuation or recurrence of
dumping and material injury to an
industry in the United States, the
Department is publishing a notice of
continuation for this antidumping duty
order.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
AGENCY:
Background
On March 2, 2015, the Department
initiated this sunset review on the
antidumping duty order on hand trucks
from the PRC, pursuant to section 751(c)
and 752 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (the Act).1 As a result of the
review, the Department found that
revocation of the antidumping order

would likely lead to a continuation or
recurrence of dumping, and therefore,
notified the ITC of the magnitude of the
dumping margins likely to prevail were
the order to be revoked.2 On August 5,
2015, the ITC published its
determination pursuant to section
751(c) and 752 of the Act that
revocation of the antidumping duty
order of hand trucks from the PRC
would lead to a continuation or
recurrence of material injury to an
industry in the United States within a
reasonably foreseeable time.3
Scope of the Order for Hand Trucks
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
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 8716.80.5010
of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of
the United States (HTSUS), although
they may also be imported under
heading 8716.80.5090. 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 8716.90.5060 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 material 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.
Excluded from the scope is a
multifunction cart that combines,
among others, the capabilities of a
wheelbarrow and dolly. The product
comprises a steel frame that can be
converted from vertical to horizontal
functionality, two wheels toward the
lower end of the frame and two
removable handles near the top. In
addition to a foldable projection edge in
its extended position, it includes a
permanently attached steel tub or
barrow. This product is currently
available under proprietary trade names
such as the ‘‘Aerocart.’’

Continuation of the Order
As a result of the determinations by
the Department and the ITC that
revocation of this antidumping duty
order would likely lead to a
continuation or recurrence of dumping
and material injury to an industry in the
United States, pursuant to sections
751(c) and 751(d)(2) of the Act, the
Department hereby orders the
continuation of the antidumping duty
order on hand trucks from the PRC. U.S.
Customs and Border Protection will
continue to collect cash deposits for
estimated antidumping duties at the
rates in effect at the time of entry for all
imports of subject merchandise.
The effective date of the continuation
of this order 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 this order not later
than 30 days prior to the fifth
anniversary of the effective date of
continuation of the order.
This five-year (sunset) review and this
notice are in accordance with section
751(c) of the Act and published
pursuant to section 777(i)(1) of the Act
and 19 CFR 351.218(f)(4).

International Pacific Halibut
Commission Appointments
National Marine Fisheries
Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and

ACTION: Notice of call for nominations.
AGENCY:
In May 2015, NOAA Fisheries
publicly solicited nominations for two
presidential appointments to serve as
U.S. Commissioners to the IPHC. This
multi-step nomination process is
intended to provide extensive
participation by stakeholders in the
Pacific halibut fishery and result in the
appointment of two highly qualified
individuals to represent the U.S.
Government in this important
international fisheries management
organization. The most recent IPHC

public nomination process yielded two
names for the two expiring seats, both
re-nominations. U.S. Commissioners to
the IPHC are appointed for a term not
to exceed 2 years, but are eligible for
reappointment. While this recent
solicitation of nominations resulted in
two strong candidates, NOAA Fisheries
is seeking a greater number of
nominations from which to propose two
candidates for appointment by the
President. Additionally, the lack of a
larger candidate pool impacts the ability
of recommending officials to propose
Alternate Commissioners. The Secretary
of State, in consultation with the
Secretary of Commerce, may designate
Alternative U.S. Commissioners to serve
in the absence of duly appointed U.S.
Commissioners. Nominations for IPHC
U.S. Commissioner and letters of public
support that have already been
submitted in response to the original
solicitation notice do not need to be
resubmitted. Nominations are open to
all qualified individuals and may
include current Commissioners.
DATES: Nominations must be received
by September 18, 2015. A list of
nominees will be published on the
NMFS Alaska Regional Office Web site
(https://www.alaskafisheries.noaa.gov/)
on September 23, 2015. Public
comments relating to this list of
nominees will be accepted until October
23, 2015.
ADDRESSES: Nominations for U.S.
Commissioners to the IPHC may be
made in writing to Mr. Patrick E. Moran,
Office of International Affairs and
Seafood Inspection, National Marine
Fisheries Service, at 1315 East-West
Highway, Silver Spring, MD 20910.
Nominations may also be sent via fax

Scope of the Order for Hand Trucks
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
[[Page 50267]]
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 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

measuring less than \5/8\ inch in diameter; hand trucks that use
motorized operations either to move the hand truck from one location to
