11Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.204(d)(3), the 

Department must also exclude the countervailable 

subsidy rate calculated for a voluntary respondent. 

In this investigation, we had no producers or 

exporters request to be voluntary respondents.

Imported Raw Materials for Industrial 

Zone Enterprises

Companies in Encouraged Industries

and Industrial Zones 

Verification 

In accordance with section 782(i)(1) of 

the Act, we intend to verify the 

information submitted by the GOV and 

the company respondents prior to 

making our final determination. 

Suspension of Liquidation 

In accordance with section 

703(d)(1)(A)(i) of the Act, we calculated 

an individual rate for each producer/ 

exporter of the subject merchandise. We 

preliminarily determine the total 

estimated net countervailable subsidy 

rates to be: 

Exporter/Manufacturer Net Subsidy Rate 

Advance Polybag Co., 

Ltd. ............................ 0.20% (de minimis) 

Chin Sheng Company, 

Ltd. ............................ 1.69% 

Fotai Vietnam Enterprise Corp. ................ 4.24% 

All Others ...................... 2.97% 

Sections 703(d) and 705(c)(5)(A) of 

the Act state that, for companies not 

investigated, we will determine an all 

others rate by weighting the individual 

company subsidy rate of each of the 

companies investigated by each 

company’s exports of subject 

merchandise to the United States, 

excluding any zero and de minimis rates 

and any rates based solely on the facts 

available.11 In this investigation, Chin 

Sheng and Fotai’s rates meet the criteria 

for the all others rate. Notwithstanding 

the language of section 705(c)(1)(B)(i)(I) 

of the Act, we have not calculated the 

all others rate by weight averaging the 

rates of the Chin Sheng and Fotai 

because doing so risks disclosure of 

proprietary information. Therefore, for 

the all others rate, we have calculated a 

simple average of the two firms’ rates. 

In accordance with sections 

703(d)(1)(B) and (d)(2) of the Act, except 

for products both produced and 

exported by API, which has a de 

minimis rate, we are directing CBP to 

suspend liquidation of all entries of 

PRCBs from Vietnam that are entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after the date of the 

publication of this notice in the Federal 

Register, and to require a cash deposit 

or bond for such entries of merchandise 

in the amounts indicated above. 

ITC Notification 

In accordance with section 703(f) of 

the Act, we will notify the ITC of our 

determination. In addition, we are 

making available to the ITC all non– 

privileged and non–proprietary 

information relating to this 

investigation. We will allow the ITC 

access to all privileged and business 

proprietary information in our files, 

provided the ITC confirms that it will 

not disclose such information, either 

publicly or under an administrative 

protective order, without the written 

consent of the Assistant Secretary for 

Import Administration. In accordance 

with section 705(b)(2)(B) of the Act, if 

our final determination is affirmative, 

the ITC will make its final 

determination within 45 days after the 

Department makes its final 

determination. 

Disclosure and Public Comment 

In accordance with 19 CFR 

351.224(b), we will disclose to the 

parties the calculations for this 

preliminary determination within five 

days of its announcement. Unless 

otherwise notified by the Department, 

case briefs for this investigation must be 

submitted no later than 50 days after the 

date of publication of the preliminary 

determination. See 19 CFR 351.309(c) 

(for a further discussion of case briefs). 

Rebuttal briefs must be filed within five 

days after the deadline for submission of 

case briefs, pursuant to 19 CFR 

351.309(d)(1). A list of authorities relied 

upon, a table of contents, and an 

executive summary of issues should 

accompany any briefs submitted to the 

Department. Executive summaries 

should be limited to five pages total, 

including footnotes. 

Section 774 of the Act provides that 

the Department will hold a public 

hearing to afford interested parties an 

opportunity to comment on arguments 

raised in case or rebuttal briefs, 

provided that such a hearing is 

requested by an interested party. If a 

request for a hearing is made in this 

investigation, the hearing will 

tentatively be held two days after the 

deadline for submission of the rebuttal 

briefs, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(d), at 

the U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th 

Street and Constitution Avenue, N.W., 

Washington, DC 20230. Parties should 

confirm by telephone the time, date, and 

place of the hearing 48 hours before the 

scheduled time. 

Interested parties who wish to request 

a hearing, or to participate if one is 

requested, must submit a written 

request to the Assistant Secretary for 

Import Administration, U.S. Department 

of Commerce, Room 1870, within 30 

days of the publication of this notice, 

pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c). Requests 

should contain: (1) the party’s name, 

address, and telephone number; (2) the 

number of participants; and (3) a list of 

the issues to be discussed. Oral 

presentations will be limited to issues 

raised in the briefs. 

This determination is issued and 

published pursuant to sections 703(f) 

and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

Update Process for the International 

Codes and Standards 

AGENCY: National Institute of Standards 

and Technology, Commerce. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The International Code 

Council (ICC), promulgator of the 

International Codes and Standards, 

maintains a process for updating the 

entire family of International Codes 

based on receipt of proposals from 

interested individuals and organizations 

involved in the construction industry as 

well as the general public. The codes are 

updated every three years (2009— 

current edition, 2012, 2015 editions, 

etc.). In the past, the codes were 

updated on 2–18 month cycles, with an 

intervening supplement between cycles. 

Starting with the 2009/2010 Cycle, ICC 

is transitioning to a development cycle 

where there will only be a single cycle 

of code development with the codes 

split into two groups. For each group of 

codes, there are two hearings for each 

code development cycle; the first where 

a committee considers the proposals 

and recommends an action on each 

proposal and the second to consider 

comments submitted in response to the 

committee action on proposals. 

The purpose of this notice is to 

increase public participation in the 

system used by ICC to develop and

maintain its codes and standards. The 

publication of this notice by the 

National Institute of Standards and 

Technology (NIST) on behalf of ICC is 

being undertaken as a public service; 

NIST does not necessarily endorse, 

approve, or recommend any of the codes 

or standards referenced in the notice. 

DATES: The date of the next code 

development hearing is October 24– 

November 11, 2009 in Baltimore, 

Maryland at the Hilton Baltimore. 

Completion of this cycle results in the 

2012 edition of the International Codes 

which are scheduled to be published by 

April 2011. For detailed information on 

the 2009/2010 Cycle, go to: http://

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

ICC produces the only family of Codes 

and Standards that are comprehensive, 

coordinated, and necessary to regulate 

the built environment. Federal agencies 

frequently use these codes and 

standards as the basis for developing 

Federal regulations concerning new and 

existing construction. 

The Code Development Process is 

initiated when proposals from 

interested persons, supported by written 

data, views, or arguments are solicited 

and published in the Proposed Changes 

document. This document is posted a 

minimum of 30 days in advance of the 

first hearing and serves as the agenda. 

At the first hearing, the ICC Code 

Development Committee considers 

testimony on every proposal and acts on 

each one individually (Approval, 

Disapproval, or Approval as Modified). 

The results are published in a report 

entitled the Report of the Public 

Hearing, which identifies the 

disposition of each proposal and the 

reason for the committee’s action. 

Anyone wishing to submit a comment 

on the committee’s action, expressing 

support or opposition to the action, is 

provided the opportunity to do so. 

Comments received are published and 

distributed in a document called the 

Final Action Agenda which serves as 

the agenda for the second hearing. 

Proposals which are approved at the 

second hearing are incorporated in the 

subsequent Edition, with the next cycle 

starting with the submittal deadline for 

proposals. 

ICC maintains a mailing list of 

interested parties who will be sent a 

complimentary CD, free of charge, of all 

code development documents from 

ICC’s Chicago District Office: 

International Code Council, 4051 W 

Flossmoor Road, Country Club Hills, 

Illinois 60478; or download a copy from 

the ICC Web site noted previously. 

The International Codes and 

Standards consist of the following: 

ICC Codes 

International Building Code. 

International Energy Conservation Code. 

International Existing Building Code. 

International Fire Code. 

International Fuel Gas Code. 

International Mechanical Code. 

ICC Performance Code for Buildings and 

Facilities. 

International Plumbing Code. 

International Private Sewage Disposal 

Code. 

International Property Maintenance 

Code. 

International Residential Code. 

International Wildland-Urban Interface 

Code. 

International Zoning Code. 

ICC Standards 

ICC A 117.1 Accessible and Usable 

Buildings and Facilities. 

ICC 300: Standard on Bleachers, 

Folding and Telescopic Seating and 

Grandstands. 

ICC 400: Standard on the Design and 

Construction of Log Structures. 

ICC 500: ICC/NSSA Standard on the 

Design and Construction of Storm 

Shelters. 

ICC 600: Standard for Residential 

Construction in High Wind Areas. 

The maintenance process for ICC 

Standards such as ICC A117.1 follows a 

similar process of soliciting proposals, 

committee action, public comment and 

ultimately the update and publication of 

the standard. ICC’s Standard 

development process meets ANSI 

requirements for standard’s 

development. 

ICC has recently begun the 

development of the International Green 

Construction Code which will become 

part of the family of 2012 International 

Codes (‘‘I-Codes’’). For information on 

its development: http://
