SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On August 18, 2010, the Department published the antidumping duty 
order on certain woven electric blankets from the PRC.\2\ On July 1, 
2015, the Department initiated the sunset review on the antidumping 
duty order on certain woven electric blankets from the PRC pursuant to 
section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the Act'').\3\ 
We received no notice of intent to participate in response to the 
Initiation Notice from domestic interested parties by the applicable 
deadline.\4\ As a result, the Department has concluded that no domestic 
party intends to participate in this sunset review.\5\ On July 21, 
2015, we notified the International Trade Commission, in writing, that 
we intend to revoke the antidumping duty order on certain woven 
blankets from the PRC.\6\

Scope of the Order

    The scope of this order covers finished, semi-finished, and 
unassembled woven electric blankets, including woven electric blankets 
commonly referred to as throws, of all sizes and fabric types, whether 
made of man-made fiber, natural fiber or a blend of both. Semi-finished 
woven electric blankets and throws consist of shells of woven fabric 
containing wire. Unassembled woven electric blankets and throws consist 
of a shell of woven fabric and one or more of the following components 
when packaged together or in a kit: (1) Wire; (2) controller(s). The 
shell of woven fabric consists of two sheets of fabric joined together 
forming a ``shell.'' The shell of woven fabric is manufactured to 
accommodate either the electric blanket's wiring or a subassembly 
containing the electric blanket's wiring (e.g., wiring mounted on a 
substrate).
    A shell of woven fabric that is not packaged together, or in a kit, 
with either wire, controller(s), or both, is not covered by this 
investigation even though the shell of woven fabric may be dedicated 
solely for use as a material in the production of woven electric 
blankets.
    The finished, semi-finished and unassembled woven electric blankets 
and throws subject to this order are currently classifiable under 
subheading 6301.10.0000 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United 
States (``HTSUS''). Although the HTSUS subheading is provided for 
convenience and customs purposes, only the written description of the 
scope is dispositive.

Revocation

    Pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 
351.218(d)(1)(iii)(B)(3), if no domestic interested party files a 
notice of intent to participate, the Department shall issue a final 
determination revoking the order within 90 days of the initiation of 
the review. Because no domestic interested party filed a timely notice 
of intent to participate in this sunset review, the Department finds 
that no domestic interested party is participating in this sunset 
review. Therefore, we are revoking the antidumping duty order on 
certain woven blankets from the PRC. Pursuant to 19 CFR 
351.222(i)(2)(i), the effective date of revocation is August 18, 2015, 
the fifth anniversary of the order.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ See Order.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(A) and 751(d)(3) of the Act and 19 
CFR 351.222(i)(2)(i), the Department intends to issue instructions to 
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (``CBP'') to terminate the 
suspension of liquidation of and discontinue the collection of cash 
deposits on entries of the merchandise subject to the order which were 
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after 
August 18, 2015. Entries of subject merchandise prior to August 18, 
2015, will continue to be subject to the suspension of liquidation and 
requirements for deposits of estimated antidumping duties. The 
Department will conduct administrative reviews of the order with 
respect to subject merchandise entered prior to the effective date of 
revocation if it receives appropriately filed requests for review.
    These final results of this five-year (sunset) review and notice 
are published in accordance with sections 751(c) and 777(i)(1) of the 
Act.

    Dated: August 11, 2015.

Assistant Secretary, for Enforcement and Compliance.
