ACTION:Notice of intent to prepare a
supplemental environmental impact
statement to the West Bear Vegetation
Management Project.
SUMMARY: The USDA Forest Service
announces its intent to prepare a
Supplemental Environmental Impact
Statement (SEIS) to the West Bear
Vegetation Management Project Final
Environment Impact Statement (FEIS).
The West Bear Vegetation Management
Project FEIS evaluated three alternatives
using timber harvest and prescribed fire
as management tools to treat vegetation.
The treatment is intended to move the
West Bear landscape towards properly
functioning condition (PFC).
DATES: Scoping will not be conducted in
accordance with 40 CFR 1502.9(c)(4).
The draft supplemental environmental
impact statement is expected in
February 2008 and the final
supplemental environmental impact
statement and a new Record of Decision
are expected in April 2008.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Proposed Action
On March 5, 2007, Forest Supervisor
Faye Krueger made a decision to
implement the West Bear Vegetation
Treatment Project to treat approximately
1,686 acres. The project consists of
jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES
harvesting 1,489 acres, prescribed
burning 523 acres of aspen and mixed
aspen/conifer, construction of 7.8 miles
of temporary roads, 0.9 miles of
intermittent service roads and minor
VerDate Aug<31>2005 20:35 Jan 23, 2008 Jkt 214001

reconstruction of 0.6 miles of existing
service roads. The Record of Decision
was appealed by two parties. On May
25, 2007, upon review, Forest
Supervisor Krueger withdrew her March
5, 2007 decision. Her decision to
withdraw was based on an error
identified in the FEIS by an appellant
and her finding that further
environmental analysis was needed in
regard to some species of the wildlife.
The SEIS will be limited in its scope
and focus on correction of the soils
disclosure in FEIS, and additional
effects disclosure for some species of
wildlife. Clarification of goshawk
territories will also be addressed.

Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce
(‘‘the Department’’) is conducting an
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on helical
spring lock washers (‘‘HSLWs’’) from
the People’s Republic of China (‘‘PRC’’)
covering the period October 1, 2005,
through September 30, 2006. We invited
interested parties to comment on our
preliminary results. Based on our
analysis of the comments received, we
have made changes to our margin
calculations. Therefore, the final results
differ from the preliminary results.
EFFECTIVE DATE: January 24, 2008.

Background
On September 12, 2007, the
Department of Commerce (‘‘the
Department’’) published Certain Helical
Spring Lock Washers From the People’s
Republic of China: Preliminary Results
of Antidumping Duty Administrative
Review, 72 FR 52073 (‘‘Preliminary
Results’’). The respondent in this case is
Hangzhou Spring Washer Co., Ltd. (also
known as Zhejiang Wanxin Group, Ltd.)
(‘‘HSW’’). Shakeproof Assembly
Components Division of Illinois Tool
Works, Inc. (‘‘Shakeproof’’), the U.S.
interested party, filed surrogate value
information and data on April 19, 2007,
August 3, 2007, and October 12, 2007.
HSW filed surrogate value information
and data on April 19, 2007, May 29,
2007, and July 24, 2007. We gave
interested parties an opportunity to
comment on the Preliminary Results.
Shakeproof requested a one-month
extension of the deadline for filing case
and rebuttal briefs on September 28,
2007. On October 2, 2007, we granted a
one-day extension of the deadline for
filing case and rebuttal briefs. On
October 16, 2007, HSW filed its case
brief. Shakeproof submitted the final
proprietary version of its brief on
October 17, 2007. HSW submitted the
final proprietary version of its rebuttal
brief on October 23, 2007. Shakeproof
did not submit a rebuttal brief.
We have conducted this
administrative review in accordance
with section 751 of the Tariff Act of
1930, as amended (‘‘the Act’’), and 19
CFR 351.213.
Scope of the Order
The products covered by the order are
HSLWs of carbon steel, of carbon alloy
steel, or of stainless steel, heat-treated or
non-heat-treated, plated or non-plated,
with ends that are off-line. HSLWs are
designed to: (1) Function as a spring to
compensate for developed looseness
between the component parts of a
fastened assembly; (2) distribute the
load over a larger area for screws or
bolts; and (3) provide a hardened
bearing surface. The scope does not
include internal or external tooth
washers, nor does it include spring lock
washers made of other metals, such as
copper.
HSLWs subject to the order are
currently classifiable under subheading
7318.21.0030 of the Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States
(‘‘HTSUS’’). Although the HTSUS
subheading is provided for convenience
and customs purposes, the written
description of the scope of this
proceeding is dispositive.

Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised in the post-
preliminary comments by parties in this
review are addressed in the
memorandum from Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import
Administration, to David M. Spooner,
Assistant Secretary for Import
Administration, Issues and Decision
Memorandum for the Final Results of
Certain Helical Spring Lock Washers
from the People’s Republic of China
(January 15, 2008) (‘‘Issues and Decision
Memorandum’’), which is hereby
adopted by this notice. A list of the
issues that parties raised and to which
we responded in the Issues and
Decision Memorandum is attached to
this notice as an appendix. The Issues
and Decision Memorandum is a public
document and is on file in the Central
Records Unit (‘‘CRU’’) in room B–099 in
the main Commerce Department
building, and is also accessible on the
Web at http://ia.ita.doc.gov/frn. The
paper copy and electronic version of the
memorandum are identical in content.
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on our analysis of comments
received, we have made changes in the
margin calculations for HSW. See Issues
and Decision Memorandum at
Comments 1–3 and Comment 6.
We revised the calculation of the
adverse facts available rate we have
applied to packing usage rates for sales
we did not verify. Specifically, we
calculated a simple average exclusive of
sales for which HSW over-stated that
actual packing material usage, and used
this rate to inflate the packing usage
rates of all the sales that were not
verified. See Comment 1.
We changed our surrogate value for
steel wire rod (‘‘SWR’’) and are using
Indian imports from Harmonized Tariff
Schedule (‘‘HTS’’) numbers 7213.91 and
7213.99 to value SWR for the final
results. We will weight-average HTS
numbers 7213.91 and 7213.99 based on
the March 2006 inventory-out quantities
obtained at verification. See Comment 2.
We have included Indian imports
from Germany in our SWR surrogate
value calculation. We have excluded
Indian imports from South Africa and
Brazil in our SWR surrogate value
calculation. See Comment 3.
We have excluded imports from North
Korea and Belgium stainless SWR
surrogate value calculation. See
Comment 3.
jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES
We have revised our calculations of
Suchi’s financial ratios in two ways.
First, we have not included octroi,
insurance, and freight forwarding
expenses in the calculations of Suchi’s
VerDate Aug<31>2005 20:35 Jan 23, 2008 Jkt 214001
financial ratios. Second, we have
excluded traded goods from the
overhead ratio, but included traded
goods in the SG&A and profit ratios. See
Comment 6.
Final Results of Review
We determined that the following
dumping margin exists for the period
October 1, 2005, through September 30,
2006:
Exporter/manufacturer
Hangzhou Spring Washer Co.,
Ltd. (also known as Zhejiang
Wanxin Group, Ltd.) ..............
Assessment Rates
The Department intends to issue
assessment instructions to U.S. Customs
and Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’) 15 days
after the date of publication of these
final results of review. In accordance
with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), we have
calculated importer-specific assessment
rates for merchandise subject to this
review.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following deposit requirements
will be effective upon publication of
this notice of final results of
administrative review for all shipments
of the subject merchandise entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after the date of
publication, as provided by section
751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For subject
merchandise exported by HSW, the cash
deposit rate will be zero; (2) for
previously reviewed or investigated PRC
and non-PRC exporters not listed above
that have separate rates, the cash-
deposit rate will continue to be the
exporter-specific rate published for the
most recent period; (3) for all PRC
exporters of subject merchandise which
have not been found to be entitled to a
separate rate, the cash-deposit rate will
continue to be the PRC-wide rate of
128.63 percent; and (4) for all non-PRC
exporters of subject merchandise that
have not received their own rate, the
cash-deposit rate will be the rate
applicable to the PRC exporter that
supplied that non-PRC exporter. These
deposit requirements shall remain in
effect until further notice.
Notification of Interested Parties
This notice also serves as a final
reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR
351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate
regarding the reimbursement of
antidumping duties prior to liquidation
PO 00000 Frm 00005 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703
of the relevant entries during this
review period. Failure to comply with
this requirement could result in the
Secretary’s presumption that
reimbursement of the antidumping
duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping
duties. This notice also serves as a
reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective orders
(‘‘APOs’’) of their responsibility
concerning the return or destruction of
Weighted-
average proprietary information disclosed under
APO in accordance with 19 CFR
margin
percentage 351.305, which continues to govern
business proprietary information in this
segment of the proceeding. Timely
written notification of the return/
0.00
destruction of APO materials or
conversion to judicial protective order is
hereby requested. Failure to comply
with the regulations and terms of an
APO is a violation that is subject to
sanction.
We are issuing and publishing this
determination and notice in accordance
with sections 751(a) and 777(i) of the
Act.
Dated: January 15, 2008.
