antidumping duties have been absorbed 

by an exporter or producer subject to the 

review if the subject merchandise is 

sold in the United States through an 

importer that is affiliated with such 

exporter or producer. The request must 

include the name(s) of the exporter or 

producer for which the inquiry is 

requested. 

For the first administrative review of 

any order, there will be no assessment 

of antidumping or countervailing duties 

on entries of subject merchandise 

entered, or withdrawn from ware house, 

for consumption during the relevant 

provisional-measures ‘‘gap’’ period, of 

the order, if such a gap period is 

applicable to the POR. 

Interested parties must submit 

applications for disclosure under 

administrative protective orders in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.305. On 

January 22, 2008, the Department 

published Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Proceedings: 

Documents Submission Procedures; 

APO Procedures, 73 FR 3634 (January

administrative reviews included in this 

notice of initiation. Parties wishing to 

participate in any of these 

administrative reviews should ensure 

that they meet the requirements of these 

procedures (e.g., the filing of separate 

letters of appearance as discussed at 19

Notice of Intent To Terminate Selected 

National Voluntary Laboratory 

Accreditation Program (NVLAP) 

Services 

AGENCY: National Institute of Standards 

and Technology (NIST), Commerce. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The National Institute of 

Standards and Technology announces 

its intention to terminate the 

Commercial Products Testing 

Laboratory Accreditation Program 

offered by NVLAP. The Commercial 

Products Testing Laboratory 

Accreditation Program includes the 

following areas of testing: paints and 

related coatings, paper and related 

products, building seals and sealants, 

plastics, plumbing, roofing, and 

mattresses. 

DATES: The Commercial Products 

Testing Laboratory Accreditation 

Program will be terminated effective 

September 30, 2010. 

ADDRESSES: Chief, National Voluntary 

Laboratory Accreditation Program, 

National Institute of Standards and 

Technology, 100 Bureau Drive, Stop 

2140, Gaithersburg, MD 20899–2140; 

e-mail to: nvlap@nist.gov. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Sally Bruce, Chief, National Voluntary 

Laboratory Accreditation Program, (301) 

975–4016; e-mail: nvlap@nist.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

National Institute of Standards and 

Technology administers the National 

Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation 

Program (NVLAP) under regulations 

found in Part 285 of Title 15 of the Code 

of Federal Regulations. NVLAP provides 

an unbiased third-party evaluation and 

recognition of laboratory performance, 

as well as expert technical assistance to 

upgrade that performance, by 

accrediting calibration and testing 

laboratories found competent to perform 

specific calibrations or tests. 

NVLAP is comprised of a set of 

Laboratory Accreditation Programs 

(LAPs) that are established on the basis 

of requests and demonstrated need. 

Each LAP includes specific test and/or 

calibration standards and related 

methods and protocols assembled to 

satisfy the unique needs for 

accreditation in the field of testing or 

calibration. 

Under the NVLAP Procedures found 

at 15 CFR part 285, the Chief of NVLAP 

may terminate a specific Laboratory 

Accreditation Program (LAP) when he/ 

she determines that a need no longer 

exists to accredit laboratories for the 

services covered under the scope of the 

LAP. Pursuant to 15 CFR part 285, the 

Chief of NVLAP has determined that a 

need no longer exists to accredit 

laboratories for the services covered 

under the Commercial Products Testing 

LAP and that the Commercial Products 

Testing LAP will be terminated. 

The Commercial Products Testing 

LAP includes the following areas of 

testing: paints and related coatings, 

paper and related products, building 

seals and sealants, plastics, plumbing, 

roofing, and mattresses. The purpose of 

this program is to supply unbiased 

third-party evaluation and attestation of 

testing competence of manufacturer and 

independent testing laboratories in the 

given fields. 

A review of the Commercial Products 

Testing LAP revealed that there are four 

(4) laboratories enrolled in the plumbing 

area. Two of the plumbing laboratories 

are also accredited for plastic and paint 

testing in support of plumbing testing. 

Three of the four plumbing laboratories 

carry redundant accreditation by the 

International Accreditation Service 

(IAS), an accreditation body recognized 

by the International Laboratory 

Accreditation Cooperation (ILAC), for 

plumbing testing, and for plastic and 

paint testing for the two laboratories 

also accredited in those fields. 

Terminating the Commercial Products 

Testing LAP will allow those three 

laboratories to eliminate the duplicate 

accreditations, saving each between 

$4,000 and $8,000 per year in fees. All 

other areas of testing within the 

Commercial Products Testing LAP are 

covered by nongovernmental ILACrecognized accrediting bodies within 

the United States. 

As a result of this review, the Chief of 

NVLAP has decided to terminate this 

LAP because there is no longer a need 

to accredit laboratories for the services 

covered under the scope of this LAP. 

Effective on September 30, 2010, 

NVLAP will no longer grant or renew 

accreditations under the terminated 

program. A laboratory currently 

accredited under the LAP will remain 

accredited until the expiration of its 

current accreditation unless earlier 

termination is requested by the 

laboratory. 

E.O. 12866: This action has been 

determined to be not significant under 

Executive Order 12866. 

Dated: August 25, 2010.
