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
erowe on PROD1PC64 with NOTICES
1 The
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.

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

Antidumping Duty Order
In accordance with section 736(a)(1)
of the Act, the Department 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. These antidumping
duties will be assessed on all 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

Cash Deposits
On and after the date of publication
of the ITC’s notice of final
determination in the Federal Register,
CBP will require, at the same time as
importers would normally deposit
estimated duties on this merchandise,
cash deposits for the subject
merchandise equal to the estimated

respectively.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On March 11, 2009, the Department
published its affirmative final
determinations of sales at less–thanfair–value in the antidumping duty
investigations of HEDP from India and
the PRC. See 1–Hydroxyethylidene–1, 1–
Diphosphonic Acid from India: Notice
of Final Determination of Sales at Less
Than Fair Value, 74 FR 10543 (March
11, 2009); and 1–Hydroxyethylidene–1,
1–Diphosphonic Acid from the People’s
Republic of China: Notice of Final
Determination of Sales at Less Than
Fair Value, 74 FR 10545 (March 11,
2009).
On April 17, 2009, the Commission
notified 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 threatened with
material injury by reason of less–thanfair–value imports of HEDP from India
and the PRC. See section 735(b)(1)(A)(ii)
of the Act.
Scope of the Orders
The merchandise subject to these
orders includes all grades of aqueous,
acidic (non–neutralized) concentrations
of 1–hydroxyethylidene–1, 1–
diphosphonic acid,1 also referred to as
hydroxethlylidenediphosphonic acid,
hydroxyethanediphosphonic acid,
acetodiphosphonic acid, and etidronic
acid. The CAS (Chemical Abstract
Service) registry number for HEDP is
2809–21–4. The merchandise subject to
these orders is currently classified in the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTSUS) at subheading
2931.00.9043. It may also enter under
Antidumping Duty Orders
On April 17, 2009, in accordance with
section 735(d) of the Act, the
Commission notified the Department of
its final determination that an industry
in the United States is threatened with
material injury within the meaning of
section 735(b)(1)(A)(ii) of the Act by
reason of less–than-fair–value imports
of HEDP from India and the PRC.
In accordance with section 736(a)(1)
of the Act, the Department will direct
U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(CBP) to assess, upon further advice by
the Department, antidumping duties
equal to the amount by which the
normal value of the merchandise
exceeds the export price (or constructed
export price) of the merchandise for all
relevant entries of HEDP from India and
the PRC.
Pursuant to section 736(b)(2) of the
Act, duties shall be assessed on subject
merchandise entered, or withdrawn
from warehouse, for consumption on or
after the date of publication of the
Commission’s notice of final
determination if that determination is
based on the threat of material injury,
other than threat of material injury
described in section 736(b)(1) of the Act.
Section 736(b)(1) states that ‘‘{i}f the
Commission, in its final determination
under section 735(b), finds material
injury or threat of material injury which,
but for the suspension of liquidation
under section 733(d)(2) would have led
to a finding of material injury, then
entries of the subject merchandise, the
liquidation of which has been
suspended under section 733(d)(2),
shall be subject to the imposition of
Country
antidumping duties under section 731.’’
In addition, section 736(b)(2) of the Act
requires CBP to release any bond or
other security, and refund any cash
deposit made of estimated antidumping
duties posted since the Department’s
preliminary antidumping duty
determinations.
Because the Commission’s final
determination is based on the threat of
material injury and is not accompanied
by a finding that injury would have
resulted but for the imposition of
suspension of liquidation of entries
since the Department’s preliminary
determinations, section 736(b)(c) of the
Act is applicable. According to section
736(b)(2) of the Act, duties shall only be
assessed on subject merchandise
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the date of
publication of the Commission’s notice
of final determination. In addition,
section 736(b)(2) of the Act requires CBP
to refund any cash deposits or bonds of
estimated antidumping duties posted
since the preliminary antidumping
determinations and prior to the
Commission’s notice of final
determination.
Therefore, with the exception of
HEDP manufactured and exported by
Nanjing University of Chemical
Technology Changzhou Wujin Water
Quality Stabilizer Factory Ltd. (a
company excluded from the PRC order),
these antidumping duties will be
assessed on all unliquidated entries of
HEDP from India and the PRC entered,
or withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after April 23, 2009,
the date of publication of the
Commission’s notice of final
determination of threat of material
injury in the Federal Register, in

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On March 16, 2009, the Department
published its final results of the
fourteenth administrative review for
CORE from Korea for the period from
August 1, 2006, through July 31, 2007.
See Certain Corrosion–Resistant Carbon
Steel Flat Products from the Republic of
Korea: Notice of Final Results of the
Fourteenth Administrative Review and
Partial Rescission, 74 FR 11082 (March
16, 2009) (Final Results).
On March 17, 2009, pursuant to 19
CFR 351.224(c), United States Steel
Corporation (U.S. Steel), POSCO, and
HYSCO submitted comments alleging
ministerial errors, and requested that
the Department correct these alleged
ministerial errors. On March 23, 2009,
U.S. Steel and Nucor Corporation
(Nucor) submitted responses to the
ministerial error allegations made by
HYSCO and POSCO.
On March 17, 2009, U.S. Steel alleged
that, with respect to Dongbu, the
Department inadvertently used the
difference between the payment date
and the date of sale as the credit period
for the calculation of credit expense in
the home market instead of using
Dongbu’s submitted customer–specific
credit period. Further, U.S. Steel alleged
that, with respect to HYSCO, the
Department used the incorrect
beginning and ending day for the period
reviewed for calculation of the
comparison market and margin
programs.
On March 17, 2009, POSCO alleged
that: 1) the Department did not use the
whole month for the beginning and
ending window period of the
comparison market and margin
programs; 2) the Department
inadvertently included the variable for
indirect selling expenses incurred in
Korea on export sales (‘‘DINDIRSU’’) to
be converted from Korean Won to U.S.
Dollars, when DINDIRSU was reported
in U.S. Dollars and did not need to be
converted; and 3) the Department
should have included negative dumping
margins in the calculation of the
weighted–average dumping margin,
instead of applying the methodology
which denies offsets for non–dumped
sales.
On March 17, 2009, HYSCO alleged
that the Department incorrectly applied
PO 00000
Frm 00007
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
19199
an interest expense ratio based on the
2006 consolidated financial statement
for calculation of the 2007 interest
expense. HYSCO argued that there is
information on the record that would
allow the Department to calculate the
actual interest expenses for fiscal year
2007. HYSCO also alleged that the
Department did not make the full
deductions of transportation expenses
and ‘‘other expenses’’ in its calculation
of the general and administrative (G&A)
expense ratio for 2007.
On March 23, 2009, U.S. Steel and
Nucor responded to POSCO’s
ministerial error allegations arguing: 1)
that the Department intended to apply
the zeroing methodology to POSCO’s
margin calculations, and that it is not a
ministerial error, and 2) that the change
of the window period in the comparison
market and margin programs, and the
change to the treatment of DINDIRSU
will have no appreciable difference on
the margin. Thus, the Department
should not publish an amended Final
Results.
On March 23, 2009, U.S. Steel also
responded to HYSCO’s ministerial error
allegations. U.S. Steel argued that: 1) the
Department intended to make changes
to the G&A expense ratio by applying
the 2006 movement expense ratio to
total selling expenses, and to exclude
the ‘‘others’’ category from the non–
operating income, and thus, the changes
are not ministerial errors; 2) the
Department intended to apply the
calculated ratio of long–term to short–
term interest rates using 2006 data to the
2007 calculation of interest expenses,
and thus, the changes are not ministerial
errors; and 3) HYSCO’s proposed
changes are based on new factual
information, not previously on the
record of this proceeding.
On March 25, 2009, Union Steel
Manufacturing Co., Ltd. filed a
summons and complaint with the Court
of International Trade (CIT) challenging
various aspects of the Final Results.
Pursuant to 19 C.F.R. 351.224(e), due
to the number of ministerial error
allegations, and the number of
submissions regarding the ministerial
error allegations, the Department has
not found it practicable to analyze
comments received and correct any
potential errors within 30 days of the
publication of the Final Results.
Scope of the Order
This order covers cold–rolled (cold–
reduced) carbon steel flat–rolled carbon
steel products, of rectangular shape,
either clad, plated, or coated with
corrosion–resistant metals such as zinc,
aluminum, or zinc-, aluminum-, nickelor iron–based alloys, whether or not

Antidumping Duty Orders
On April 17, 2009, in accordance with section 735(d) of the Act,
the Commission notified the Department of its final determination that
an industry in the United States is threatened with material injury
within the meaning of section 735(b)(1)(A)(ii) of the Act by reason of
less-than-fair-value imports of HEDP from India and the PRC.
In accordance with section 736(a)(1) of the Act, the Department
will direct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to assess, upon
further advice by the Department, antidumping duties equal to the
amount by which the normal value of the merchandise exceeds the export
price (or constructed export price) of the merchandise for all relevant
entries of HEDP from India and the PRC.
Pursuant to section 736(b)(2) of the Act, duties shall be assessed
on subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after the date of publication of the Commission's
notice of final determination if that determination is based on the
threat of material injury, other than threat of material injury
described in section 736(b)(1) of the Act. Section 736(b)(1) states
that ``{i{time} f the Commission, in its final determination under
section 735(b), finds material injury or threat of material injury
which, but for the suspension of liquidation under section 733(d)(2)
would have led to a finding of material injury, then entries of the
subject merchandise, the liquidation of which has been suspended under
section 733(d)(2), shall be subject to the imposition of antidumping
duties under section 731.'' In addition, section 736(b)(2) of the Act
requires CBP to release any bond or other security, and refund any cash
deposit made of estimated antidumping duties posted since the
Department's preliminary antidumping duty determinations.
Because the Commission's final determination is based on the threat
of material injury and is not accompanied by a finding that injury
