1The EAR are currently codified at 15 CFR Parts 

730–774 (2007). The EAR are issued under the 

Export Administration Act of 1979, as amended (50 

U.S.C. app. 2401–2420 (2000)) (‘‘EAA’’). Since 

August 21, 2001, the EAA has been in lapse and the 

President, through Executive Order 13222 of August 

17, 2001 (3 CFR, 2001 Comp. 783 (2002)), as 

extended by the Notice of August 3, 2006 (71 FR 

44551 (August 7, 2006)), has continued the 

Regulations in effect under the International 

Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701–

1706 (2000)) (‘‘IEEPA’’). 

may be used at the ESG facilities 

(representing 25 – 40% of material 

value) may include plastic tubes/pipes/ 

hoses/fittings/floor coverings/seals/ 

gaskets/o–rings, rubber mats/gaskets/o–

rings/seals/knobs/dampeners, carpeting

foreign (PF) status (19 CFR § 146.41)), 

articles of plaster, tableware, steel and 

iron pipe/tube/profiles/casings/fittings, 

stainless steel pipe/tube/flanges, doors, 

windows, structures, tanks, drums, LNG 

containers, anchors, articles of copper, 

couplings (of nickel, aluminum, lead, 

zinc, tin), articles of chromium, flexible 

tubing, marine steam turbines, engines 

(diesel and spark ignition) and parts, 

turbojets, propellers, gas turbines and 

parts, pumps, compressors, fans, air 

conditioners, furnaces and parts, heat 

exchange units, chillers, water heaters 

and parts, centrifuges, filters and 

filtering equipment, cranes, trash

navigational instruments, thermostats, 

marine chronometers, furniture, and

ea.+3.9%, ad valorem; 84¢/bbl). 

FTZ procedures would exempt ESG 

from customs duty payments on the 

foreign components used in export 

activity. On its domestic sales, the 

company would not be required to pay 

applicable customs duties on the foreign 

components, or it would be able to elect 

the duty rate that applies to finished 

oceangoing vessels (duty free) for the 

foreign components when the vessels 

are processed for customs entry. The 

manufacturing activity conducted under 

FTZ procedures would be subject to the 

‘‘standard shipyard restriction’’

applicable to foreign–origin steel mill 

products (e.g., angles, pipe, plate), 

which requires that full customs duties 

be paid on such items. The application 

indicates that the savings from FTZ 

procedures would help improve the 

facilities’ international competitiveness. 

In accordance with the Board’s 

regulations, a member of the FTZ Staff 

has been designated examiner to 

investigate the application and report to 

the Board. 

Public comment is invited from 

interested parties. Submissions (original 

and 3 copies) shall be addressed to the 

Board’s Executive Secretary at the 

address below. The closing period for 

their receipt is August 13, 2007. 

Rebuttal comments in response to 

material submitted during the foregoing 

period may be submitted during the 

subsequent 15-day period to August 27, 

2007. 

A copy of the application and 

accompanying exhibits will be available 

for public inspection at each of the 

following locations: Office of the Area 

Port Director, U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection, 2831 Talleyrand Avenue,

(hereinafter collectively referred to as 

the ‘‘Respondents’’) for 180 days. 

In its request, BIS has presented 

evidence that shows that the 

Respondents knowingly engaged in 

conduct prohibited by the EAR and took 

actions to evade the EAR by shipping 

items through Singapore and concealing 

the true identity of the end-users. The 

Respondents participated in the export 

of items subject to the EAR to two endusers on the Entity List set forth in 

Supp. 4 to Part 744 of the EAR without 

the export licenses required by Section 

744.1 of the EAR. 

Specifically, the evidence shows that 

on at least five occasions between on or 

about September 30, 2005 and on or 

about April 17, 2006, the Respondents 

exported items subject to the EAR from 

the United States to the Vikram 

Sarabhai Space Centre (‘‘VSSC’’) and 

Bharat Dynamics Ltd. (‘‘BDL’’) in India 

without the license required by Section 

744.1 of the EAR. VSSC and BDL are 


cprice-sewell on PROD1PC67 with NOTICES
32280 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 112 / Tuesday, June 12, 2007 / Notices 

organizations set forth on the Entity List 

set forth in Supplement No. 4 to Part 

744 of the EAR. On two occasions on or 

about March 24, 2006 and on or about 

April 17, 2006, the Respondents 

exported Static Random Access Memory 

computer chips, items subject to the 

EAR and classified under Export 

Control Classification Number 

3A001.a.2.c., to VSSC. These items are 

controlled for national security reasons 

and required a license for export to 

Singapore, India, and VSSC. On three 

occasions on or about September 30, 

2005, November 5, 2005, and January 

14, 2006, the Respondents exported 

semiconductors and capacitors, items 

subject to the EAR (‘‘EAR99’’) to BDL. 

These items have applications in missile 

guidance and firing systems and 

required a license for export to BDL. In 

each instance, the items were shipped 

from the United States to Singapore for 

subsequent shipment to VSSC and BDL. 

The Respondents were aware of the 

Entity List licensing requirements and 

on at least one occasion provided an 

end-user statement to a U.S. vendor that 

falsely represented the end-user in order 

to conceal the intended actual end user, 

VSSC, of the vendor’s items. 

I find that the evidence presented by 

BIS demonstrates that the Respondents 

have knowingly violated the EAR, that 

such violations have been deliberate 

and covert, and that there is a likelihood 

of future violations, particularly given 

the nature of the transactions. As such, 

a Temporary Denial Order (‘‘TDO’’) is 

needed to give notice to persons and 

companies in the United States and 

abroad that they should cease dealing 

with the Respondents in export 

transactions involving items subject to 

the EAR. Such a TDO is consistent with 

the public interest to preclude future 

violations of the EAR. 

Accordingly, I find that a TDO 

naming Cirrus USA, its two offices in 

Singapore and India, Cirrus Singapore 

and Cirrus India, respectively, and its 

four officers, Parthasarathy Sudarshan, 

Mythili Gopal, Akn Prasad, and 

Sampath Sundar, as Respondents is 

necessary, in the public interest, to 

prevent an imminent violation of the 

EAR. This Order is issued on an ex 

parte basis without a hearing based 

upon BIS’s showing of an imminent 

violation. 

It is therefore ordered: 

First, that the Respondents, CIRRUS 

ELECTRONICS LLC, 201 Huddersville

Third, that, after notice and 

opportunity for comment as provided in 

section 766.23 of the EAR, any other 

person, firm, corporation, or business 

organization related to any of the 

Denied Persons by affiliation,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The Department of Commerce (‘‘the 

Department’’) published an 

antidumping duty order on wooden 

bedroom furniture (‘‘WBF’’) from the 

People’s Republic of China (‘‘PRC’’) on 

January 4, 2005. See Notice of Amended 

Final Determination of Sales at Less 

Than Fair Value and Antidumping Duty 

Order: Wooden Bedroom Furniture 

From the People’s Republic of China, 70 

FR 329 (January 4, 2005). On March 7, 

2006, the Department published in the 

Federal Register a notice of the 

initiation of the antidumping duty 

administrative review of WBF from the 

PRC and new shipper reviews for the 

period June 24, 2004, through December 

31, 2005. See Initiation of 

Administrative Review of Antidumping 

Duty Order on Wooden Bedroom 

Furniture from the People’s Republic of 

China, 71 FR 11394 (March 7, 2006) and 

Wooden Bedroom Furniture from the 

People’s Republic of China: Initiation of 

New Shipper Reviews, 71 FR 11404 

(March 7, 2006) (‘‘Initiation of Second 

Annual New Shipper Reviews’’). On 

August 24, 2006, the Department 

aligned the deadlines and the time 

limits of the new shipper reviews of 

WBF with the 2004–2005 administrative 

review of WBF. See Memorandum to the 

File from Lilit Astvatsatrian, Case 

Analyst, through Wendy Frankel, Office 

Director, dated August 24, 2006. On 

February 9, 2007, the Department 

published in the Federal Register the 

preliminary results of the first 

administrative review and the new 

shipper reviews. See Wooden Bedroom 

Furniture from the People’s Republic of 

China: Preliminary Results of 

Antidumping Duty Administrative 

Review, Preliminary Results of New 

Shipper Reviews and Notice of Partial 

Rescission, 72 FR 6201 (February 9, 

2007). The final results of review are 

currently due no later than June 9, 2007. 

Extension of Time Limit of Final 

Results 

Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act 

of 1930, as amended (‘‘the Act’’), 

requires the Department to issue final 

results within 120 days after the date on 

which the preliminary results are 

published. However, if it is not 

practicable to complete the review 

within this time period, section 

751(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows the 

Department to extend the time period to 

a maximum of 180 days. Completion of 

the final results of the administrative 

review within the 120-day period is not 

practicable because the Department 

conducted verification in the 

administrative review after publication 

of the preliminary results, and, 

therefore, needs additional time to 

complete post–preliminary results 

verification reports, invite and analyze 

comments by interested parties on the 

preliminary results and verification 

reports, and analyze information 

gathered at verification. 

Because it is not practicable to 

complete this review within the time 

specified under the Act, we are 

extending the time period for issuing 

the final results of the administrative 

and new shipper reviews to 180 days, 

until August 8, 2007, in accordance 

with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act. 

This notice is published pursuant to 

sections 751(a) and 777(i) of the Act.
