Currency Conversion 

Pursuant to section 773(A) of the Act 

and 19 CFR 351.415, we converted 

amounts expressed in foreign currencies 

into U.S. dollar amounts based on the 

exchange rates in effect on the dates of 

the relevant U.S. sales, as certified by 

the Federal Reserve Bank. 

Preliminary Results of Review 

As a result of our review, we 

preliminarily determine that the 

weighted-average dumping margin for 

merchandise produced and exported by 

Villares Metals S.A. is 4.07 percent for 

the period February 1, 2009, through 

January 31, 2010. 

Disclosure and Public Comment 

We will disclose the calculations used 

in our analysis to parties in this review 

within five days of the date of 

publication of this notice in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.224(b). Any interested 

party may request a hearing within 30 

days of the publication of this notice in 

the Federal Register. See 19 CFR 

351.310. If a hearing is requested, the 

Department will notify interested 

parties of the hearing schedule. 

Interested parties are invited to 

comment on the preliminary results of 

this review. The Department will 

consider case briefs filed by interested 

parties within 30 days after the date of 

publication of this notice in the Federal 

Register. 19 CFR 351.309(c). Interested 

parties may file rebuttal briefs, limited 

to issues raised in the case briefs. See 19 

CFR 351.309(d). The Department will 

consider rebuttal briefs filed not later 

than five days after the time limit for 

filing case briefs. Parties who submit 

arguments are requested to submit with 

each argument a statement of the issue, 

a brief summary of the argument, and a 

table of authorities cited. Further, we 

request that parties submitting written 

comments provide the Department with 

a diskette containing an electronic copy 

of the public version of such comments. 

We intend to issue the final results of 

this administrative review, including 

the results of our analysis of issues 

raised in the written comments, within 

120 days of publication of these 

preliminary results in the Federal 

Register. 

Assessment Rates 

The Department shall determine, and 

CBP shall assess, antidumping duties on 

all appropriate entries. In accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), we have 

calculated importer/customer-specific 

assessment rates for these preliminary 

results of review. For sales where VMSA 

reported entered value, we divided the 

total dumping margins (calculated as 

the difference between normal value 

and EP) for the reviewed sales by the 

total entered value of those reviewed 

sales for each reported importer or 

customer. For sales where entered value 

was not reported, we divided the total 

dumping margins for each exporter’s 

importer or customer by the total 

number of units the exporter sold to that 

importer or customer. We will instruct 

CBP to assess the resulting importer/ 

customer-specific ad-valorem rate or 

per-unit dollar amount, as appropriate, 

on all entries of subject merchandise 

made by the relevant importer or 

customer during the POR. See 19 CFR 

351.212(b). 

The Department clarified its 

‘‘automatic assessment’’ regulation on 

May 6, 2003. This clarification will 

apply to entries of subject merchandise 

during the POR produced by VMSA for 

which VMSA did not know its 

merchandise was destined for the 

United States. In such instances, we will 

instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed 

entries of VMSA-produced merchandise 

at the all-others rate if there is no rate 

for the intermediate company(ies) 

involved in the transaction. For a full 

discussion of this clarification see 

Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 

Proceedings: Assessment of 

Antidumping Duties, 68 FR 23954 (May 

6, 2003). 

The Department intends to issue 

liquidation instructions to CBP 15 days 

after the publication of the final results 

of review. 

Cash-Deposit Requirements 

The following deposit requirements 

will be effective upon publication of the 

notice of final results of administrative 

review for all shipments of SSB from 

Brazil 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) The 

cash-deposit rate for VMSA will be the 

rate established in the final results of 

this review; (2) for previously reviewed 

or investigated companies not listed 

above, the cash-deposit rate will 

continue to be the company-specific rate 

published for the most recent period; (3) 

if the exporter is not a firm covered in 

this review, a prior review, or the lessthan-fair-value investigation but the 

manufacturer is, the cash-deposit rate 

will be the rate established for the most 

recent period for the manufacturer of 

the merchandise; (4) if neither the 

exporter nor the manufacturer has its 

own rate, the cash-deposit rate will be 

the all-others rate for this proceeding, 

19.43 percent. See Notice of Final 

Determination of Sales at Less Than 

Fair Value: Stainless Steel Bar From 

Brazil, 59 FR 66914 (December 28, 

1994). These deposit requirements, 

when imposed, shall remain in effect 

until further notice. 

Notification to Importers 

This notice also serves as a 

preliminary reminder to importers of 

their responsibility under 19 CFR 

351.402(f) to file a certificate regarding 

the reimbursement of antidumping 

duties prior to liquidation of the 

relevant entries during this review 

period. Failure to comply with this 

requirement could result in the 

Department’s presumption that 

reimbursement of antidumping duties 

occurred and the subsequent assessment 

of doubled antidumping duties. 

These preliminary results of 

administrative review are issued and 

published in accordance with sections 

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

Dated: October 27, 2010.

CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY 

COMMISSION 

Notice of Teleconference of the 

Chronic Hazard Advisory Panel on 

Phthalates and Phthalate Substitutes 

AGENCY: Consumer Product Safety 

Commission. 

ACTION: Notice of meeting. 

SUMMARY: The Consumer Product Safety 

Commission (‘‘CPSC’’ or ‘‘Commission’’) 

is announcing a teleconference of the 

Chronic Hazard Advisory Panel (CHAP) 

on phthalates and phthalate substitutes. 

The Commission appointed this CHAP 

to study the effects on children’s health 

of all phthalates and phthalate 

alternatives as used in children’s toys 

and child care articles, pursuant to 

section 108 of the Consumer Product 

Safety Improvement Act of 2008 

(CPSIA) (Pub. L. 110–314). The CHAP 

will discuss possible risk assessment 

approaches for phthalates and phthalate 

substitutes. 

DATES: The teleconference will take 

place at 5 p.m. GMT (12 p.m. EST) on 

Wednesday, November 15, 2010. 

Interested members of the public may 

listen to the CHAP’s discussion. 

Members of the public will not have the 

opportunity to ask questions, comment, 

or otherwise participate in the 

teleconference. Interested parties should 

contact the CPSC project manager,

Michael Babich, by e-mail 

(mbabich@cpsc.gov) for call-in 

instructions no later than November 4, 

2010. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: To 

request access to the teleconference, 

contact the project manager by e-mail at 

mbabich@cpsc.gov, no later than 

Thursday, November 4, 2010. For all 

other questions, contact: Michael 

Babich, Directorate for Health Sciences, 

Consumer Product Safety Commission, 

Bethesda, MD 20814; telephone (301) 

504–7253; e-mail mbabich@cpsc.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

108 of the CPSIA permanently prohibits 

the sale of any ‘‘children’s toy or child 

care article’’ containing more than 0.1 

percent of each of three specified 

phthalates: Di- (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate 

(DEHP), dibutyl phthalate (DBP), and 

benzyl butyl phthalate (BBP). Section 

108 of the CPSIA also prohibits, on an 

interim basis, the sale of any ‘‘children’s 

toy that can be placed in a child’s 

mouth’’ or ‘‘child care article’’ containing 

more than 0.1 percent of each of three 

additional phthalates: diisononyl 

phthalate (DINP), diisodecyl phthalate 

(DIDP), and di-n-octyl phthalate (DnOP). 

Moreover, section 108 of the CPSIA 

requires the Commission to convene a 

CHAP ‘‘to study the effects on children’s 

health of all phthalates and phthalate 

alternatives as used in children’s toys 

and child care articles.’’ The CPSIA 

requires the CHAP to complete an 

examination of the full range of 

phthalates that are used in products for 

children and: 

• Examine all of the potential health 

effects (including endocrine disrupting 

effects) of the full range of phthalates; 

• Consider the potential health effects of 

each of these phthalates, both in isolation 

and in combination with other phthalates; 

• Examine the likely levels of children’s, 

pregnant women’s, and others’ exposure to 

phthalates, based on a reasonable estimation 

of normal and foreseeable use and abuse of 

such products; 

• Consider the cumulative effect of total 

exposure to phthalates, both from children’s 

products and from other sources, such as 

personal care products; 

• Review all relevant data, including the 

most recent, best-available, peer-reviewed, 

scientific studies of these phthalates and 

phthalate alternatives that employ objective 

data collection practices or employ other 

objective methods; 

• Consider the health effects of phthalates 

not only from ingestion but also as a result 

of dermal, hand-to-mouth, or other exposure; 

• Consider the level at which there is a 

reasonable certainty of no harm to children, 

pregnant women, or other susceptible 

individuals and their offspring, considering 

the best available science, and using 

sufficient safety factors to account for 

uncertainties regarding exposure and 

susceptibility of children, pregnant women, 

and other potentially susceptible individuals; 

and 

• Consider possible similar health effects 

of phthalate alternatives used in children’s 

toys and child care articles. 

The CHAP’s examination must be 

conducted de novo, and the CPSIA 

contemplates completion of the CHAP’s 

examination within 18 months of the 

CHAP’s appointment. The CHAP must 

review prior work on phthalates by the 

Commission, but it is not to be 

considered determinative. 

The CHAP must make 

recommendations to the Commission 

regarding any phthalates (or 

combinations of phthalates) in addition 

to those identified in section 108 of the 

CPSIA or phthalate alternatives that the 

panel determines should be prohibited 

from use in children’s toys or child care 

articles or otherwise restricted. The 

CHAP members were selected by the 

Commission from scientists nominated 

by the National Academy of Sciences. 

See 15 U.S.C. 2077, 2030(b). 

The CHAP previously met April 14 

and 15, 2010, and July 26 and 28, 2010, 

at the Commission’s offices in Bethesda, 

MD. The CHAP is holding a 

teleconference on November 15, 2010, 

in preparation for its next meeting 

December 2 through 3, 2010. The 

November teleconference and December 

meeting will include discussions of 

possible risk assessment approaches. 

Dated: October 29, 2010.

Secretary, Consumer Product Safety 

Commission.
