The Department of Commerce (``Department'') is conducting the first administrative review of the antidumping duty order on certain steel threaded rod (``steel threaded rod'') from the People's Republic of China (``PRC'') for the period of review (``POR'') October 8, 2008, through February 28, 2010. As discussed below, we preliminarily determine that sales have been made below normal value (``NV''). If these preliminary results are adopted in our final results of review, we will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (``CBP'') to assess antidumping duties on entries of subject merchandise during the POR for which the importer-specific assessment rates are above de minimis.

In response to requests from interested parties, the Department of Commerce (``the Department'') is conducting an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on frontseating service valves (``FSVs'') from the People's Republic of China (``PRC''), covering the period October 22, 2008 through March 31, 2010. We have preliminarily determined that the mandatory respondents in this administrative review have made sales in the United States at prices below normal value (``NV'') during the period of review (``POR''). None of the remaining respondents provided evidence that they are separate from the state-controlled entity. As a result, they are considered part of the PRC entity. If these preliminary results are adopted in the final results of review, we will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (``CBP'') to assess antidumping duties on entries of subject merchandise during the POR for which the importer-specific assessment rates are above de minimis. We invite interested parties to comment on these preliminary results. Parties who submit comments are requested to submit with each argument a summary of the argument. We intend to issue the final results no later than 120 days from the date of publication of this notice, pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the Act'').
