[Federal Register Volume 80, Number 48 (Thursday, March 12, 2015)] [Notices] [Pages 12983-12984] From the Federal Register Online [www.thefederalregister.org] [FR Doc No: 2015-05711] [[Page 12983]] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE International Trade Administration [A-570-941, C-570-942] Certain Kitchen Appliance Shelving and Racks From the People's Republic of China: Continuation of Antidumping Duty Order and Countervailing Duty Order AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, Department of Commerce. SUMMARY: As a result of the determinations by the Department of Commerce (the Department) and the International Trade Commission (the ITC) in their five-year (sunset) reviews that revocation of the antidumping (AD) order on certain kitchen appliance shelving and racks (kitchen racks) 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 of the AD order. As a result of the determinations by the Department and the ITC that revocation of the countervailing duty (CVD) order on kitchen racks from the PRC would likely lead to a continuation or recurrence of a countervailable subsidy and material injury to an industry in the United States, the Department is publishing a notice of continuation of the CVD order. DATES: March 12, 2015. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Irene Gorelik, AD/CVD Operations, Office V (AD Order), or Mary Kolberg, AD/CVD Operations, Office I (CVD Order), Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482-6905 or (202) 482-1785, respectively. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background The Department published its Final AD Determination and Final CVD Determination on kitchen racks from the PRC on July 24, 2009, and July 27, 2009, respectively.\1\ On August 1, 2014, the Department initiated the first five-year (sunset) reviews of the AD Order and CVD Order, pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).\2\ As a result of its reviews, the Department determined that revocation of the AD order would likely lead to a continuation or recurrence of dumping and that revocation of the CVD order on kitchen racks from the PRC would likely lead to a continuation or recurrence of a countervailable subsidy. Therefore, the Department notified the ITC of the magnitude of the margins likely to prevail should the AD order be revoked, and the net countervailable subsidy rates likely to prevail should the CVD order be revoked.\3\ On February 27, 2015, the ITC published its determination, pursuant to section 751(c) of the Act, that revocation of the AD Order and the CVD Order on kitchen racks from the PRC would likely lead to a continuation or recurrence of material injury to an industry in the United States within a reasonably foreseeable time.\4\ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \1\ See Certain Kitchen Appliance Shelving and Racks From the People's Republic of China: Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value, 74 FR 36656 (July 24, 2009) (Final AD Determination); see also Certain Kitchen Appliance Shelving and Racks from the People's Republic of China: Final Affirmative Countervailing Duty Determination, 74 FR 37012 (July 27, 2009) (Final CVD Determination). \2\ See Initiation of Five-Year (``Sunset'') Review, 79 FR 44743 (August 1, 2014). \3\ See Certain Kitchen Appliance Shelving and Racks from the People's Republic of China: Final Results of Expedited First Sunset Review of the Antidumping Duty Order, 79 FR 67423 (November 13, 2014) and accompanying Issues and Decision Memorandum; see also Certain Kitchen Appliance Shelving and Racks From China: Final Results of Expedited Sunset Review of the Countervailing Duty Order, 79 FR 73029 (December 9, 2014) and accompanying Issues and Decision Memorandum. \4\ See Certain Kitchen Appliance Shelving and Racks From China: Determination (Investigation Nos. 701-TA-458 and 731-TA-1154 (Review)), 80 FR 10713 (February 27, 2015). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Scope of the Order The merchandise covered by these orders consists of shelving and racks for refrigerators, freezers, combined refrigerator-freezers, other refrigerating or freezing equipment, cooking stoves, ranges, and ovens.

Although the HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and customs purposes, the written description of the scope of the order is dispositive. Continuation of the Orders As a result of the determinations by the Department and the ITC that revocation of the AD order would likely lead to a continuation or recurrence of dumping and that revociation of the CVD order would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of a countervailable subsidy and material injury to an industry in the United States, pursuant to Section 751(d)(2) of the Act, the Department hereby orders the continuation of the AD and CVD orders on kitchen racks from the PRC. U.S. Customs and Border Protection will continue to collect AD and CVD cash deposits at the rates in effect at the time of entry for all imports of subject merchandise.
