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
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
VerDate Nov<24>2008
15:29 May 29, 2009
Jkt 217001
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
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.

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

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.

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

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

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 six-month 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
[[Page 26206]]
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.
Dated: May 26, 2009.
Ronald K. Lorentzen,
Acting Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
