From the Background section:
--- Quote ---This condition, if not addressed, could result in compressor stalls and dual-engine power loss without the ability to restart, which could result in a forced off-airport landing.

Presumably it's another one that applies to all those 737Maxs that have been sitting on the ground around the world for over a year now - probably not the only valve!
