1The frontseating service valve differs from a 

backseating service valve in that a backseating 

service valve has two sealing surfaces on the valve 

stem. This difference typically incorporates a valve 

stem on a backseating service valve to be machined 

of steel, where a frontseating service valve has a 

brass stem. The backseating service valve dual stem 

seal (on the back side of the stem), creates a metal 

to metal seal when the valve is in the open position, 

thus, sealing the stem from the atmosphere.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On March 13, 2009, the Department 

published the final determination of 

sales at less than fair value of 

frontseating service valves (‘‘FSVs’’) 

from the People’s Republic of China 

(‘‘PRC’’). See Frontseating Service 

Valves From the People’s Republic of 

China: Final Determination of Sales at 

Less Than Fair Value and Final 

Negative Determination of Critical 

Circumstances, 74 FR 10886 (March 13, 

2009) (‘‘Final Determination’’). On April 

21, 2009, the International Trade 

Commission (‘‘ITC’’) notified the 

Department of Commerce (‘‘the 

Department’’) of its final determination 

pursuant to section 735(d) of the Tariff 

Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘the Act’’), 

that an industry in the United States is 

materially injured within the meaning 

of section 735(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Act by 

reason of less-than-fair-value imports of 

FSVs from the PRC. See Letter from the 

ITC to the Secretary of Commerce, 

‘‘Notification of Final Affirmative 

Determination of Frontseating Service 

Valves from the People’s Republic of 

China,’’ Investigation No. 731–TA–1148 

(April 21, 2009); see also Frontseating 

Service Valves From China; 

Determination, 74 FR 19107 (April 27, 

2009). On April 28, 2009, pursuant to 

section 736(a) of the Act, the 

Department published the antidumping 

duty order on FSVs from the PRC. See 

Antidumping Duty Order: Frontseating 

Service Valves from the People’s 

Republic of China, 74 FR 19196 (April 

28, 2009) (‘‘Order’’). 

Scope of the Order 

The merchandise covered by this 

order is frontseating service valves, 

assembled or unassembled, complete or 

incomplete, and certain parts thereof. 

Frontseating service valves contain a 

sealing surface on the front side of the 

valve stem that allows the indoor unit 

or outdoor unit to be isolated from the 

refrigerant stream when the air 

conditioning or refrigeration unit is 

being serviced. Frontseating service 

valves rely on an elastomer seal when 

the stem cap is removed for servicing 

and the stem cap metal to metal seat to 

create this seal to the atmosphere during 

normal operation.1

For purposes of the scope, the term 

‘‘unassembled’’ frontseating service 

valve means a brazed subassembly 

requiring any one or more of the 

following processes: The insertion of a 

valve core pin, the insertion of a valve 

stem and/or O ring, the application or 

installation of a stem cap, charge port 

cap or tube dust cap. The term 

‘‘complete’’ frontseating service valve 

means a product sold ready for 

installation into an air conditioning or 

refrigeration unit. The term 

‘‘incomplete’’ frontseating service valve 

means a product that when sold is in 

multiple pieces, sections, subassemblies 

or components and is incapable of being 

installed into an air conditioning or 

refrigeration unit as a single, unified 

valve without further assembly. 

The major parts or components of 

frontseating service valves intended to 

be covered by the scope under the term 

‘‘certain parts thereof’’ are any brazed 

subassembly consisting of any two or 

more of the following components: A 

valve body, field connection tube, 

factory connection tube or valve charge 

port. The valve body is a rectangular 

block, or brass forging, machined to be 

hollow in the interior, with a generally 

square shaped seat (bottom of body). 

The field connection tube and factory 

connection tube consist of copper or 

other metallic tubing, cut to length, 

shaped and brazed to the valve body in 

order to create two ports, the factory 

connection tube and the field 

connection tube, each on opposite sides 

of the valve assembly body. The valve 

charge port is a service port via which 

a hose connection can be used to charge 

or evacuate the refrigerant medium or to 

monitor the system pressure for 

diagnostic purposes. 

The scope includes frontseating 

service valves of any size, configuration, 

material composition or connection 

type. Frontseating service valves are 

classified under subheading 

8481.80.1095, and also have been 

classified under subheading 

8415.90.80.85, of the Harmonized Tariff 

Schedule of the United States 

(‘‘HTSUS’’). It is possible for 

frontseating service valves to be 

manufactured out of primary materials 

other than copper and brass, in which 

case they would be classified under 

HTSUS subheadings 8481.80.3040, 

8481.80.3090, or 8481.80.5090. In 

addition, if unassembled or incomplete 

frontseating service valves are imported, 

the various parts or components would 

be classified under HTSUS subheadings 

8481.90.1000, 8481.90.3000, or 

8481.90.5000. The HTSUS subheadings 

are provided for convenience and 

customs purposes, but the written 

description of the scope of this 

proceeding is dispositive. 

Correction to Antidumping Duty Order 

In the Order, the Department stated 

that in accordance with section 

736(a)(1) of the Act, it will direct U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’) 

to assess, upon further information from 

the Department, antidumping duties 

equal to the amount by which the 

normal value of the merchandise 

exceeds the export price (or the 

constructed export price) of the 

merchandise for all relevant entries of 

FSVs from the PRC. We further stated 

that these antidumping duties will be 

assessed on all unliquidated entries of 

FSVs entered, or withdrawn from the 

warehouse, for consumption on or after 

October 22, 2008, the date on which the 

Department published its notice of 

preliminary determination in the 

Federal Register. See Frontseating 

Service Valves from the People’s 

Republic of China: Preliminary 

Determination of Sales at Less Than 

Fair Value, Preliminary Negative 

Determination of Critical 

Circumstances, and Postponement of 

Final Determination, 73 FR 62952 

(October 22, 2008) (‘‘Preliminary 

Determination’’). 

However, the Department 

inadvertently neglected to state that 

section 733(d) of the Act states that 

instructions issued pursuant to an 

affirmative preliminary determination 

may not remain in effect for more than 

four months except where exporters 

representing a significant proportion of 

exports of the subject merchandise 

request the Department to extend that 

four-month period to no more than six 

months. At the request of the exporters 

that account for a significant proportion 

of FSVs in the PRC, we extended the 

four-month period to no more than six 

months. See Letter from Zhejiang 

DunAn Precision Industries Co., Ltd., 

Zhejiang DunAn Hetian Metal Co., Ltd. 

(‘‘DunAn Hetian’’) (October 7, 2008). In 

the underlying investigation, the sixmonth period beginning on the date of 

the publication of the preliminary 

determination ended on April 20, 2009. 

Furthermore, section 737(b) of the Act 

states that definitive duties are to begin 

on the date of publication of the ITC’s 

final injury determination. 

Publication of the ITC final injury 

determination took place on April 27, 

2009. See Frontseating Service Valves 

From China; Determination, 74 FR 

26206 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 103 / Monday, June 1, 2009 / Notices 

19107 (April 27, 2009). Therefore, in 

accordance with section 733(d) of the 

Act and our practice, we will instruct 

CBP to terminate the suspension of 

liquidation and to liquidate, without 

regard to antidumping duties, 

unliquidated entries of FSVs from the 

PRC entered, or withdrawn from 

warehouse, for consumption after April 

20, 2009, and through April 26, 2009, 

the day preceding the date of 

publication of the ITC’s final injury 

determination in the Federal Register. 

Suspension of liquidation will resume 

on and after April 27, 2009, the date of 

publication of the ITC’s final injury 

determination in the Federal Register. 

Pursuant to section 735(c)(1) of the 

Act, CBP should continue to require, 

effective April 27, 2009, a cash deposit 

equal to the estimated weighted-average 

dumping margins as listed in the Order. 

This notice constitutes a correction to 

the antidumping duty order with 

respect to FSVs from the PRC. This 

corrected order is published in 

accordance with the section 736(a) of 

the Act and 19 CFR 351.211.

and colleges, and to postdoctoral 

researchers, in fields of science and 

engineering that contribute to NIST’s 

measurement science programs. 

2. To provide opportunities for 

practicing scientists and engineers in 

the public and private sectors to 

perform research in broad areas of 

measurement science at NIST through 

research fellowships called Senior 

Research Fellowships. Senior Research 

Fellowships will be offered to qualified 

scientists and engineers working at U.S. 

private firms, U.S. non-profit 

organizations, U.S. universities and 

colleges, and other organizations in 

fields of science and engineering that 

contribute to NIST’s measurement 

science programs. 

NIST intends this financial assistance 

program to address both types of 

opportunities listed above through a 

single cooperative agreement, or 

through more than one cooperative 

agreement. 

Through the cooperative agreement(s), 

the program will advance purposes 

established in Section 3 of the Recovery 

Act by creating jobs, promoting 

economic recovery, providing 

investments needed to increase 

economic efficiency by spurring 

technological advances in science, and 

by making investments in areas of 

research that will provide long-term 

economic benefits. 

NIST performs a broad range of 

research, measurements, modeling, and 

other activities to support its broad 

measurement science and engineering 

programs in ten operating units 

comprising the NIST laboratories. 

Further details about this program may 

be found in the Federal Funding 

Opportunity announcement for this 

program. 

Funding Availability: The funding 

instrument used in this program will be 

a cooperative agreement. Proposals will 

be considered for cooperative 

agreements with durations between one 

and three years, subject to the 

availability of funds, satisfactory 

progress, and the continuing relevance 

to the objectives of NIST. The 

anticipated level of funding is up to 

$20,000,000 ($20 million) total for the 

fellowships program for up to three 

years. NIST anticipates making one to 

five awards. Projects are expected to 

start by January 2010. 

NIST will determine whether to fund 

one award for the full amount; to divide 

available funds into multiple awards of 

any size, and negotiate scopes of work 

and budgets as appropriate; or not to 

select any proposal for funding, upon 

completing the selection process 

described below. 

Cost Share Requirements: None. 

Eligibility: This program is open to 

U.S. institutions of higher education; 

U.S. hospitals; U.S. non-profit 

organizations; U.S. commercial 

organizations; state, local, and Indian 

tribal governments.
