    The Department received a notice of intent to participate from Home 
Products International, Inc. (Petitioner), within the deadline 
specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i). Petitioners are manufacturers of 
a domestic like product in the United States and, accordingly, are 
domestic interested parties pursuant to section 771(9)(C) of the Act.
    On May 27, 2015, the Department received an adequate substantive 
response to the notice of initiation from Petitioners within the 30-day 
deadline specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i). The Department did not 
receive any responses from the respondent interested parties, i.e., 
ironing tables producers or exporters from the PRC. On the basis of the 
notice of intent to participate and adequate substantive response filed 
by Petitioners and the inadequate response from any respondent 
interested party, the Department decided to conduct an expedited sunset 
review of this order pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and 19 
CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C).

Scope of the Order

    The merchandise subject to the order consists of floor-standing, 
metal-top ironing tables, assembled or unassembled, complete or 
incomplete, and certain parts thereof. The subject tables are designed 
and used principally for the hand ironing or pressing of garments or 
other articles of fabric. They are typically imported under heading 
9403.20.0011 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States 
(HTSUS), with the subject metal top and leg components are imported 
under heading 9403.90.8040. Although the HTSUS subheadings are provided 
for convenience and customs purposes, the written product description 
is dispositive. A full description of the scope of the order is 
contained in the ``Issues and Decision Memorandum for Final Results of 
Expedited Second Sunset Review of Antidumping Duty Order on Floor-
Standing, Metal-Top Ironing Tables and Certain Parts Thereof from the 
People's Republic of China,'' (Decision Memorandum) dated concurrently 
with and hereby adopted by this notice.

Analysis of Comments Received

    The issues discussed in the Decision Memorandum are the likelihood 
of continuation or recurrence of dumping, and the magnitude of the 
margins of dumping likely to prevail if the order was revoked. The 
analysis addresses the impact of the Final Modification for Reviews \4\

Final Results of Sunset Review

    Pursuant to sections 752(c)(1) and (3) of the Act, we determine 
that revocation of the antidumping order of ironing tables from the PRC 
would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping at 
weighted-average margins up to 157.68 percent.
