the AD order is warranted with respect
to the connector, as described above.
Section 782(h)(2) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.222(g)(1)(i) provide that the
Department may revoke an order (in
whole or in part) if it determines that
producers accounting for substantially
all of the production of the domestic
like product have no further interest in
the order, in whole or in part. In
addition, in the event the Department
determines that expedited action is
warranted, 19 CFR 351.221(c)(3)(ii)
permits the Department to combine the
notices of initiation and preliminary
results.
On February 28, 2012, Anvil
International and Ward Manufacturing,
petitioners in the original investigation,
submitted a statement indicating that
they account for approximately 95
percent of the domestic production of
the like product. Further, Petitioners
stated that they have no interest in
producing the auto part described in the
Ford’s changed circumstances request
and agree to the exclusion of the abovedescribed connector from the scope of
the AD duty order.3
In accordance with section 751(b) of
the Act, and 19 CFR 351.222(g)(l)(i) and
351.221(c)(3), we are initiating this
changed circumstances review and have
determined that expedited action is
warranted. In accordance with 19 CFR
351.222(g), we find that Petitioners’
affirmative statement of no interest
constitutes good cause for the conduct
of this review. Additionally, our
decision to expedite this review stems
from the domestic industry’s lack of
interest in applying the AD order to the
connector, described above, and covered
by this request.
Based on the expression of no interest
by Petitioners and absent any objection
by other domestic interested parties, we
preliminarily determine that
substantially all of the domestic
producers of the like product have no
interest in the continued application of
the AD order on non-malleable cast iron
pipe fittings from the PRC to the
merchandise that is subject to this
request. Therefore, we are notifying the
public of our intent to revoke, in part,
the AD order as it relates to imports of
the connector, as described above, from
the PRC. We intend to modify the scope
of the AD order to read as follows:
Specifically excluded from the scope
of the order is a certain brake fluid tube
connector. The brake fluid tube
connector is a ‘‘joint block’’ for brake
fluid tubes and is made of nonmalleable cast iron to SEA automotive

standard J431. The inside diameters of
the fluid flow channels of the connector
are 3.2 millimeters (0.1260 inches) and
3.8 millimeters (0.1496 inches).
Public Comment
Interested parties are invited to
comment on these preliminary results.
Written comments may be submitted no
later than 14 days after the date of
publication of these preliminary results.
Rebuttals to written comments, limited
to issues raised in such comments, may
be filed no later than 21 days after the
date of publication. The Department
will issue the final results of this
changed circumstances review, which
will include the results of its analysis
raised in any such written comments,
no later than 270 days after the date on
which this review was initiated, or
within 45 days if all parties agree to our
preliminary results.4
If final revocation occurs, we will
instruct CBP to end the suspension of
liquidation for the merchandise covered
by the revocation on the effective date
of the notice of revocation and to release
any cash deposit or bond.5 The current
requirement for a cash deposit of
estimated AD duties on all subject
merchandise will continue unless and
until it is modified pursuant to the final
results of this changed circumstances
review.
This initiation and preliminary results
of review and notice are in accordance
with section 751(b) of the Act and 19
CFR 351.216, 351.221, and 351.222.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Background
Section 104(b) of the Consumer
Product Safety Improvement Act of
2008 (‘‘CPSIA’’) requires the CPSC to
promulgate consumer product safety
standards for durable infant or toddler
products. These standards are to be
substantially the same as applicable
voluntary standards or more stringent
than the voluntary standard if the
Commission concludes that more
stringent requirements would further
reduce the risk of injury associated with
the product.
On December 28, 2010, we issued a
final rule establishing safety standards
for full-size and non-full-size baby cribs
in response to the direction under
section 104(b) of the CPSIA (75 FR
81766). Section 104(c) of the CPSIA
specifies that the crib standards will
cover used, as well as new cribs. The
crib standards apply to anyone who
manufactures, distributes, or contracts
to sell a crib; to child care facilities, and
others holding themselves out to be
knowledgeable about cribs; to anyone
who leases, sublets, or otherwise places
a crib in the stream of commerce; and
to owners and operators of places of
public accommodation affecting
commerce. The standards require
manufacturers and importers of these
products to maintain sales records for a
period of six years after the manufacture
or importation of the cribs and also
