Commerce (the Department) and the 

International Trade Commission (ITC) 

that revocation of the antidumping duty 

order on top–of-the–stove stainless steel 

cooking ware (cooking ware) from the 

Republic of Korea (Korea) would likely 

lead to continuation or recurrence of 

dumping and material injury to an 

industry in the United States, the 

Department is publishing this notice of 

continuation of the cooking ware

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On March 1, 2005, the Department 

and the ITC initiated sunset reviews of 

the antidumping duty order on cooking 

ware from Korea pursuant to section 

751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 

amended (the Act). See Initiation of 

Five-year (‘‘Sunset’’) Reviews, 70 FR 

9919 (March 1, 2005). As a result of its 

review, the Department found that 

revocation of the antidumping duty 

order would likely lead to continuation 

or recurrence of dumping, and notified 

the ITC of the magnitude of the margins 

likely to prevail were the order revoked. 

See Top–of-the–Stove Stainless Steel 

Cooking Ware from the Republic of 

Korea and Taiwan; Final Results of the 

Expedited Sunset Reviews of the 

Antidumping Duty Orders, 70 FR 56443 

(September 27, 2005). 

On October 27, 2005, the ITC 

determined, pursuant to section 751(c) 

of the Act, that revocation of the 

antidumping duty order on cooking 

ware from Korea would likely lead to 

continuation or recurrence of material 

injury to an industry in the United 

States within a reasonably foreseeable 

time. See USITC Publication 3808 

(October 2005) and Investigations Nos. 

731–TA–298 and 299 (Second Review); 

Investigations Nos. 701–TA–267 and 

268 and 731–TA–304 and 305 (Second 

Review); Porcelain–on-Steel Cooking 

Ware From China and Taiwan; Top–ofthe–Stove Stainless Steel Cooking Ware 

From Korea and Taiwan, 70 FR 67740 

(November 8, 2005). 

Scope of the Order 

The merchandise subject to this 

antidumping duty order is cooking ware 

from Korea. The subject merchandise is 

all non–electric cooking ware of 

stainless steel which may have one or 

more layers of aluminum, copper or 

carbon steel for more even heat 

distribution. The subject merchandise 

includes skillets, frying pans, omelette 

pans, saucepans, double boilers, stock 

pots, dutch ovens, casseroles, steamers, 

and other stainless steel vessels, all for 

cooking on stove top burners, except tea 

kettles and fish poachers. Excluded 

from the scope of the orders are 

stainless steel oven ware and stainless 

steel kitchen ware. The subject 

merchandise is currently classifiable 

under Harmonized Tariff Schedule of 

the United States (HTSUS) item 

numbers 7323.93.00 and 9604.00.00. 

The HTSUS item numbers are provided 

for convenience and Customs purposes 

only. The written description remains 

dispositive. 

Determination 

As a result of the determinations by 

the Department and the ITC that 

revocation of the antidumping duty 

order would likely lead to continuation 

or recurrence of dumping and material 

injury to an industry in the United 

States, pursuant to section 751(d)(2) of 

the Act, the Department hereby orders 

the continuation of the antidumping 

duty order on cooking ware from Korea. 

United States Customs and Border 

Protection (CBP) will continue to collect 

antidumping duty cash deposits at the 

rates in effect at the time of entry for all 

imports of subject merchandise. The 

effective date of continuation of this 

order will be the date of publication in 

the Federal Register of this Notice of 

Continuation. Pursuant to section 

751(c)(2) of the Act, the Department 

intends to initiate the next five-year 

review of this order not later than 

November 2010. 

The Department’s and ITC’s five-year 

(sunset) reviews and notices are in 

accordance with section 751(c) of the 

Act and published pursuant to section 

777(i)(1) of the Act.

National Fire Protection Association 

(NFPA) Proposes To Revise Codes and 

Standards 

AGENCY: National Institute of Standards 

and Technology, Commerce. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The National Fire Protection 

Association (NFPA) proposes to revise 

some of its safety codes and standards 

and requests proposals from the public 

to amend existing or begin the process 

of developing new NFPA safety codes 

and standards. The purpose of this 

request is to increase public 

participation in the system used by 

NFPA to develop its codes and 

standards. The publication of this notice 

of request for proposals by the National 

Institute of Standards and Technology 

(NIST) on behalf of NFPA is being 

undertaken as a public service; NIST 

does not necessarily endorse, approve, 

or recommend any of the standards 

referenced in the notice. 

The NFPA process provides ample 

opportunity for public participation in 

the development of its codes and 

standards. All NFPA codes and 

standards are revised and updated every 

three to five years in Revision Cycles 

that begin twice each year and that takes

Each Revision Cycle proceeds according 

to a published schedule that includes 

final dates for all major events in the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The National Fire Protection 

Association (NFPA) develops building, 

fire, and electrical safety codes and 

standards. Federal agencies frequently 

use these codes and standards as the 

basis for developing Federal regulations 

concerning safety. Often, the Office of 

the Federal Register approves the 

incorporation by reference of these 

standards under 5 U.S.C. 552(a) and 1 

CFR Part 51. 

When a Technical Committee begins 

the development of a new or revised 

NFPA code or standard, it enters one of 

two Revision Cycles available each year. 

The Revision Cycle begins with the Call 

for Proposals, that is, a public notice 

asking for any interested persons to 

submit specific written proposals for 

developing or revising the Document. 

The Call for Proposals is published in a 

variety of publications. Interested 

parties have approximately twenty 

weeks to respond to the Call for 

Proposals. 

Following the Call for Proposals 

period, the Technical Committee holds 

a meeting to consider and accept, reject 

or revise, in whole or in part, all the 

submitted Proposals. The committee 

may also develop its own Proposals. A 

document known as the Report on 

Proposals, or ROP, is prepared 

containing all the Public Proposals, the 

Technical Committees’ action and each 

Proposal, as well as all Committeegenerated Proposals. The ROP is then 

submitted for the approval of the 

Technical Committee by a formal 

written ballot. If the ROP does not 

receive approval by a two-thirds vote 

calculated in accordance with NFPA 

rules, the Report is returned to the 

committee for further consideration and 

is not published. If the necessary 

approval is received, the ROP is 

published in a compilation of Reports 

on Proposals issued by NFPA twice 

yearly for public review and comment, 

and the process continues to the next 

step. 

The Reports on Proposals are sent 

automatically free of charge to all who 

submitted proposals and each respective 

committee member, as well as anyone 

else who requests a copy. All ROP’s are 

also available for free downloading at 

www.nfpa.org. 

Once the ROP becomes available, 

there is a 60-day comment period 

during which anyone may submit a 

Public Comment on the proposed 

changes in the ROP. The committee 

then reconvenes at the end of the 

comment period and acts on all 

Comments. 

As before, a two-thirds approval vote 

by written ballot of the eligible members 

of the committee is required for 

approval of actions on the Comments. 

All of this information is complied into 

a second Report, called the Report on 

Comments (ROC), which, like the ROP, 

is published and made available for 

public review for a seven-week period. 

The process of public input and 

review does not end with the 

publication of the ROP and ROC. 

Following the completion of the 

Proposal and Comment periods, there is 

yet a further opportunity for debate and
