Cash Deposit Requirements
DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
The Department will disclose
calculations performed for these
preliminary results to the parties within
five days of the date of publication of
this notice in accordance with 19 CFR
351.224(b).
The following cash deposit
requirements will be effective upon
publication of the final results of this
new shipper review for shipments of
subject merchandise from Zhejiang
Tianyi entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after
the publication date, as provided by
section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For
subject merchandise produced and
exported by Zhejiang Tianyi, the cash
deposit rate will be that established in
the final results of this review; (2) for
subject merchandise exported by
Zhejiang Tianyi but not produced by
Zhejiang Tianyi, the cash deposit rate
will continue to be the PRC–wide rate
of 216.01 percent; (3) for subject
merchandise produced by Zhejiang
Tianyi, and exported by any party but
itself, the cash deposit rate will be the
rate applicable to the exporter. If the
cash deposit rate calculated in the final

deposit will be required for those entries
of subject merchandise both produced
and exported by Zhejiang Tianyi. These
cash deposit requirements, when
imposed, shall remain in effect until
further notice.

Assessment Rates
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b), the
Department will determine, and CBP
shall assess, antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries of subject
merchandise in accordance with the
final results of this review. For
assessment purposes, the Department
will calculate importer–specific (or
customer) ad valorem duty assessment
rates based on the ratio of the total
amount of the dumping margins
calculated for the examined sales to the
total entered value of those same sales.
The Department will instruct CBP to
assess antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries covered by this
review if any importer–specific
assessment rate calculated in the final
results of this review is above de
minimis. The Department intends to
issue assessment instructions to CBP 15
days after the date of publication of the
final results of review.

Notification to Interested Parties
This notice serves as a reminder to
importers of their responsibility under
19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate
regarding the reimbursement of
antidumping duties prior to liquidation
of the relevant entries during this POR.
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.
The Department is issuing and
publishing this determination in
accordance with sections 751(a)(2)(B)
and 777(i) of the Act, and 19 CFR
351.214(h) and 351.221(b)(4).

Solicitation of Participation In and
Public Meeting to Discuss Public
Safety 700 MHz Broadband
Demonstration Network
AGENCY: National Institute of Standards
and Technology, Department of
Commerce.
ACTION: Notice of solicitation of
participation.
SUMMARY: The National Institute of
Standards and Technology (NIST)
announces the building of a 700 MHz
Public Safety Broadband Demonstration
Network (Demonstration Network),
which will provide manufacturers and
first responders a location for early
deployment of their systems in a multivendor, neutral host environment.1
Emergency responders will see how
these broadband systems will function
and determine through hands-on
experience how these systems meet
their unique needs. This Notice of
Solicitation of Participation both seeks
Expressions of Interest from parties that
may be interested in participating in the
Demonstration Network and also
announces a project kick-off meeting for
all interested stakeholders.
DATES: Expressions of Interest in
participating in the program are due on
or before 5:00 pm Mountain Time, April
30, 2010. A kick-off informational
meeting will be held March 15, 2010,
via webinar over the Internet. The
registration deadline for participation in
the meeting is due by 5 p.m. Mountain
Time, March 12, 2010. Please see
registration instructions in the
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section of
this notice.
ADDRESSES: Expressions of Interest in
participating in the Demonstration
Network and registrations for the kickoff meeting should be sent to
700MHz@its.bldrdoc.gov. The webinar
details, meeting time and teleconference
bridge information will be e-mailed to
registrants prior to the event.

effective cross-agency radio
communications, due mainly to
incompatible systems and noncontiguous spectrum assignments. But
newly enacted Congressional
legislation 2 and FCC Rulings 3 have
created broadband spectrum cleared by
the Digital Television (DTV) transition
available to local, state and tribal public
safety agencies (i.e. fire, police,
emergency medical services), allowing
for a unified system that would foster
nationwide roaming and
interoperability. Though this spectrum
will provide ample opportunity for the
build-out of next-generation
communications systems that could
achieve true interoperability for public
safety, no government or independent
laboratory facilities exist in the United
States to test and demonstrate the
behaviors of this yet-to-be-deployed 700
MHz network and the applications that
could run on top of it.
To address this critical gap, the
National Institute of Standards and
Technology (NIST), through its Public
Safety Communications Research
(PSCR) program, will begin building a
Public Safety Broadband Demonstration
Network. This Demonstration Network
will allow NIST, manufacturers and
public safety users a site for the early
deployment of their systems in order to
evaluate the Third Generation
Partnership Project (3GPP) Long Term
Evolution (LTE) standard, in a multivendor environment and create
integration opportunities for
commercial service providers.
Public Safety Broadband
Demonstration Network
The goal of this project is to
demonstrate and evaluate the behaviors
of 3GPP LTE technology deployed in the
700 MHz bands, specific to the needs of
public safety agencies. NIST has
developed an initial network design that
must be evaluated by vendors, service
providers, academia, and other
stakeholders to ensure that it can
support all test cases. In this project,
emergency responders, vendors,
carriers, academia and other
stakeholders will have the opportunity
to participate in the development, test
planning and network design evaluation
of the Demonstration Network system.
Each participant may provide
individual input to NIST; no consensus
advice will be provided. Public Safety
users will see how these broadband
systems will function and determine

Features and system performance that
commercial carriers may not be testing
for commercial purposes, but that are of
importance to public safety, will be a
primary area of assessing public safety
user requirements within the 3GPP LTE
standard. This will include multicast/
broadcast capabilities, priority access,
pre-emption, SMS, and voice. Vendors
who are developing LTE equipment
(Band Class 14) are eligible to
participate in this project.
On or before April 30, 2010,
interested parties wishing to participate
in the Demonstration Network should
submit to the e-mail address in the
ADDRESSES section, their name, address,
phone number, and an e-mail address.
After receiving all submissions, NIST
may contact any party that submitted an
expression of interest to follow-up on
how its technology would meet the
above evaluation criteria. As part of the
Demonstration Network project, NIST
will enter into Cooperative Research
and Development Agreements
(CRADAs) with participating equipment
stakeholders.
The following information details the
technical specifications of the
Demonstration Network as it relates to
radio frequency and the ability to
transmit over the air.
Demonstration Network Technology:
Equipment utilizing minimum 3GPP
LTE Release 8, Evolved Packet Core
(EPC) and IP Multimedia System (IMS).
Other air interfaces may be considered.
Demonstration Network Frequency
Band: 758–768 MHz & 788–798 MHz
(3GPP Band Class 14) Authorization to
transmit over-the-air for the
Demonstration Network: Via a request
for FCC Special Temporary Authority
(STA) for Part 90 and/or Part 27.
Phases for Stakeholder Participation:
The Demonstration Network will have
the following three major phases for
stakeholder participation:
Phase 1—Network and Test Planning:
Stakeholders will be involved in
creating a common test plan for all
vendors and creating a common
network deployment and coverage
scheme.
Phase 2—Deployment: Equipment is
scheduled for delivery to site locations.
Coverage, network planning, site
preparation completed. Installation and
commissioning takes place.
Phase 3—Testing and Demonstrations:
Test plan execution takes place. This
may be staggered into sub-phases as
equipment and features become
available. Network is available to
perform system level testing and
demonstrations on.
