parties to this proceeding the 

calculations performed in reaching the 

preliminary results within five days of 

the date of publication of these 

preliminary results. See 19 CFR 

351.224(b). Interested parties may 

submit written comments (case briefs) 

within 30 days of publication of the 

preliminary results and rebuttal 

comments (rebuttal briefs) within five 

days after the time limit for filing case 

briefs. See 19 CFR 351.309(c)(1)(ii) and 

351.309(d)(1). Pursuant to 19 CFR 

351.309(d)(2), rebuttal briefs must be 

limited to issues raised in the case 

briefs. Parties who submit arguments are 

requested to submit with the argument: 

(1) A statement of the issue; (2) a brief 

summary of the argument; and (3) a 

table of authorities. Further, the 

Department requests that parties 

submitting written comments provide 

the Department with a diskette 

containing the public version of those 

comments. 

Any interested party may request a 

hearing within 30 days of publication of 

this notice. See 19 CFR 351.310(c). 

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 within 30 days 

of publication of this notice. Requests 

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

address, and telephone number; (2) the 

number of participants; and (3) a list of 

issues to be discussed. See 19 CFR 

351.310(c). Issues raised in the hearing 

will be limited to those raised in the 

briefs. 

Unless the deadline is extended 

pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of 

the Act, the Department will issue the 

final results of these NSRs, including 

the results of our analysis of the issues 

raised by the parties in their comments, 

within 90 days after issuance of these 

preliminary results. 

Deadline for Submission of Publicly 

Available Surrogate Value Information 

In accordance with 19 CFR 

351.301(c)(3), the deadline for 

submission of publicly available 

information to value factors of 

production under 19 CFR 351.408(c) is 

20 days after the date of publication of 

the preliminary determination. In 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.301(c)(1), if 

an interested party submits factual 

information less than ten days before, 

on, or after (if the Department has 

extended the deadline) the applicable 

deadline for submission of such factual 

information, an interested party has ten 

days to submit factual information to 

rebut, clarify, or correct the factual 

information no later than ten days after 

such factual information is served on 

the interested party. However, the 

Department notes that 19 CFR 

351.301(c)(1) permits new information 

only insofar as it rebuts, clarifies, or 

corrects information recently placed on 

the record. See, e.g., Glycine from the 

People’s Republic of China: Final 

Results of Antidumping Duty 

Administrative Review and Final 

Rescission, in Part, 72 FR 58809 

(October 17, 2007) and accompanying 

Issues and Decision Memorandum at 

Comment 2. Furthermore, the 

Department generally will not accept 

business proprietary information in 

either the surrogate value submissions 

or the rebuttals thereto, as the regulation 

regarding the submission of surrogate 

values allows only for the submission of 

publicly available information. 

Assessment Rates 

Upon issuing the final results of the 

review, the Department shall determine, 

and CBP shall assess, antidumping 

duties on all appropriate entries. The 

Department intends to issue assessment 

instructions to CBP 15 days after the 

date of publication of the final results of 

review. Pursuant to 19 CFR 

351.212(b)(1), we will calculate 

importer-specific ad valorem duty 

assessment rates based on the ratio of 

the total amount of the dumping 

margins calculated for the examined 

sales to the total entered value of those 

same sales. We will instruct CBP to 

assess antidumping duties on all 

appropriate entries covered by this 

review if any importer-specific 

assessment rate calculated in the final 

results of this review is above de 

minimis. However, the final results of 

this review shall be the basis for the 

assessment of antidumping duties on 

entries of merchandise covered by the 

final results of these reviews and for 

future deposits of estimated duties, 

where applicable. 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following cash deposit 

requirements, when imposed, will be 

effective upon publication of the final 

results of these NSRs for all shipments 

of subject merchandise exported by 

Fengyu or Tongfa and entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after the publication 

date, as provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) 

of the Act: (1) For subject merchandise 

manufactured and exported by Fengyu 

or manufactured and exported by 

Tongfa, the cash-deposit rate will be 

that established in the final results of 

this review; (2) for subject merchandise 

exported by Fengyu or Tongfa but not 

manufactured by Fengyu or Tongfa, 

respectively, the cash deposit rate will 

continue to be the PRC-wide rate (i.e., 

198.63 percent); and (3) for subject 

merchandise manufactured by Fengyu 

or Tongfa, but exported by any other 

party, the cash deposit rate will be the 

rate applicable to the exporter. If the 

cash deposit rates calculated for Fengyu 

or Tongfa in the final results is zero or 

de minimis:, a zero cash deposit will be 

required for entries of subject 

merchandise both produced and 

exported by Fengyu or Tongfa. These 

cash deposit requirements, when 

imposed, shall remain in effect until 

further notice. 

Notification to Importers 

This notice serves as a preliminary 

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 

of the relevant entries during this 

review period. Failure to comply with 

this requirement could result in the 

Secretary’s presumption that 

reimbursement of antidumping duties 

occurred and the subsequent assessment 

of double antidumping duties. 

These NSRs and notice are in 

accordance with sections 751(a)(2)(B) 

and 777(i) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.214(i).

Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 209 / Friday, October 29, 2010 / Notices 66735 

ACTION: Notice and request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: The National Institute of 

Standards and Technology (NIST) is 

soliciting public comment on a 

proposed revision to Voluntary Product 

Standard (PS) 2–04, Performance 

Standard for Wood-Based StructuralUse Panels. This revised standard, PS 2– 

10, was prepared by the Standing 

Committee for PS 2 and establishes 

requirements, for those who choose to 

adhere to the standard, for the structural 

criteria to assess the acceptability of 

wood-based structural-use panels for 

construction sheathing and single-floor 

applications. It also provides a basis for 

common understanding among the 

producers, distributors, and the users of 

these products. Interested parties are 

invited to review the proposed standard 

and submit comments to NIST. 

DATES: Written comments regarding the 

proposed revision, should be submitted 

to the Standards Services Division, 

NIST, no later than November 29, 2010. 

ADDRESSES: An electronic copy (an 

Adobe Acrobat File) of the proposed 

standard, PS 2–10, can be obtained at 

the following Web site: http:// 

gsi.nist.gov/global/index.cfm/L1-5/l2- 

44/A-355. This site also includes an 

electronic copy of PS 2–04 (the existing 

standard) and a summary of significant 

changes. Written comments on the 

proposed revision should be submitted 

to David F. Alderman, Standards 

Services Division, NIST, 100 Bureau

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Proposed 

Voluntary Product Standard PS 2–10 

establishes structural criteria for 

assessing the acceptability of woodbased structural-use panels for 

construction sheathing and single-floor 

application, and provides a basis for 

common understanding among the 

producers, distributors, and the users of 

these products. After conducting a 

review of the current standard, PS 2–04, 

the Standing Committee for PS 2 

determined that updates were needed to 

reflect current industry practices, and 

developed this proposal through 

meetings to review the standard and 

propose needed changes. The proposed 

standard does not address nonstructural issues such as resistance to 

biological agents. Applications for 

structural plywood other than 

construction sheathing and single-floor 

sheathing may require additional 

engineering considerations that are not 

covered by this document. 

The proposed revision of the standard 

has been developed and is being 

processed in accordance with 

Department of Commerce provisions in 

Title 15 of the U.S. Code of Federal 

Regulations, part 10, Procedures for the 

Development of Voluntary Product 

Standards, as amended (published June 

20, 1986). The Standing Committee for 

PS 2 is responsible for maintaining, 

revising, and interpreting the standard, 

and is comprised of producers, 

distributors, users, and others with an 

interest in the standard. Committee 

members voted on the revision, which 

was approved unanimously. The 

Committee then submitted a report to 

NIST along with the voting results and 

the draft revised standard. NIST has 

determined that the revised standard 

should be issued for public comment. 

The revision includes the following 

changes: 

• Panel thickness: In order to resolve 

the inconsistency with NIST standards 

used by ‘‘weights and measures’’ 

regulators, PS 2 will require labeling 

with both a ‘‘Performance Category,’’ 

which is a fractional label such as 15/ 

32, and a decimal thickness declaration, 

such as ‘‘THICKNESS 0.438 IN.’’ The 

Performance Category will maintain 

consistency with the panel thickness 

specifications required in the U.S. 

model codes. The Performance Category 

panel labeling will permit the 

abbreviations ‘‘PERF CAT,’’ ‘‘CAT’’ or 

‘‘Category.’’ The decimal thickness 

declaration will help assure that panels 

are compliant with weights and 

measures regulations. 

• Two nonmandatory appendices 

were added to provide guidance on 

NIST Handbook 130 ‘‘Packaging and 

Labeling Regulations,’’ and to provide 

suggested thickness labeling. 

• Nonmandatory appendices on 

attributes related to Green Building and 

Formaldehyde were added. 

• A nonmandatory appendix on the 

history of PS 2 was added. 

• The moisture content specifications 

for the ‘‘dry,’’ ‘‘wet/redry’’ and ‘‘wet’’ test 

conditions were clarified in various 

sections of the standard. 

• The tables containing performance 

requirements were modified to provide 

clarity and references to the sections of 

the standard that provide the test 

methods and pass/fail criteria used 

during the qualification process. 

• The original fastener holding 

requirements for sheathing were based 

on thin plywood panels made with 

Group 4 species. Those panels are not 

representative of current sheathing 

panels. In addition, some U.S. model 

code requirements for wall sheathing 

were made more stringent, such that the 

existing nail holding requirements may 

not justify certain wind load conditions. 

Therefore, a test program to characterize 

the nail holding properties of current 

production was conducted by two 

testing agencies. Based on those test 

results, some requirements for nail 

holding performance of sheathing were 

increased. 

All public comments will be reviewed 

and considered. The Standing 

Committee for PS 2 and NIST will revise 

the standard accordingly.
