clarification.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The Department notified CBP to
discontinue suspension of liquidation
and collection of cash deposits on
entries of the subject merchandise
entered or withdrawn from warehouse
on or after July 16, 2006, the effective
date of revocation of the antidumping
duty order.
Notification to Importers
This notice also serves as a
preliminary reminder to importers of
their responsibility under 19 CFR
351.402(f) 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.
Administrative Protective Order
This notice also serves as a reminder
to parties subject to an administrative
protective order (APO) of their
responsibility concerning the return or
destruction of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.305. Timely written
notification of the return/destruction of
APO materials or conversion to judicial
protective order is hereby requested.
Failure to comply with the regulations
and terms of an APO is a violation that
is subject to sanction.
This administrative review and notice
are issued and published in accordance
with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of
the Act.
Dated: October 16, 2007.

National Fire Protection Association
(NFPA) Proposes To Revise Codes and
Standards
National Institute of Standards
and Technology, Commerce.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
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 take
approximately two years to complete.
Each Revision Cycle proceeds according
to a published schedule that includes
final dates for all major events in the
process. The process contains five basic
steps that are followed both for
developing new documents as well as
revising existing documents. These
steps are: Calling for Proposals;
Publishing the Proposals in the Report
on Proposals (ROP); Calling for
Comments on the Committee’s
disposition of the proposals and these
Comments are published in the Report
on Comments (ROC); having a Technical
Report Session at the NFPA Annual
Meeting; and finally, the Standards
Council Consideration and Issuance of
documents.
Note: Under new rules effective Fall 2005,
anyone wishing to make Amending Motions
on the Technical Committee Reports (ROP
and ROC) must signal their intention by
submitting a Notice of Intent to Make a
Motion by the Deadline stated in the ROC.
Certified motions will then be posted on the
NFPA website. Documents that receive notice
of proper Amending Motions (Certified
Amending Motions) will be presented for
action at the annual June Association
Technical Meeting. Documents that receive
no motions will be forwarded directly to the
Standards Council for action on issuance.
