2002), as appropriate, whether
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entered, or withdrawn from ware house,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

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.

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.
