hands free speaker kits (HTSUS 

8518.90). Duty rates on these inputs 

range from duty–free to 17.6 percent, ad 

valorem. 

FTZ procedures would allow 

Motorola to elect the finished–product 

duty rate for the imported components 

listed above. The application indicates 

that most of the FTZ savings would 

result from choosing the duty–free rate 

on mobile phones for imported nicad 

and lithium batteries (duty rates 3.4% 

and 2.5% ad valorem, respectively). The 

company indicates that it would also 

realize logistical/paperwork savings and 

duty–deferral savings under FTZ 

procedures. Motorola’s application 

states that the above–cited savings from 

zone procedures could help improve the 

international competitiveness of its 

Texas facilities. 

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 April 30, 2007. Rebuttal 

comments in response to material 

submitted during the foregoing period 

may be submitted during the subsequent 

15-day period to May 15, 2007. 

A copy of the application and 

accompanying exhibits will be available 

for public inspection at each of the 

following locations: U.S. Department of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The Department of Commerce (the 

Department) received a timely request 

from C & A Products Co., Ltd. (C&A), in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.214(c), for 

a new shipper review of the 

antidumping duty order on canned 

pineapple fruit (CPF) from Thailand. 

See Notice of Antidumping Duty Order 

and Amended Final Determination: 

Canned Pineapple Fruit from Thailand, 

60 FR 36775 (July 18, 1995). C&A 

identified itself as the producer and 

exporter of subject merchandise. 

As required by 19 CFR 

351.214(b)(2)(i),(ii), and (iii)(A), C&A 

certified it did not export CPF to the 

United States during the period of 

investigation (POI), and that it has never 

been affiliated with any exporter or 

producer that exported CPF during or 

after the POI. It also submitted 

documentation establishing the date on 

which C&A first shipped the subject 

merchandise to the United States, the 

volume of that first and any subsequent 

shipments, and the date of C&A’s first 

sale to an unaffiliated customer in the 

United States. C&A states it cannot 

report the first entry date because the 

sale was to an unaffiliated customer. 

Initiation of Review 

In accordance with section 

751(a)(2)(B) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 

amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 

351.214(d)(1), and based on information 

on the record, we are initiating a new 

shipper review for C&A. See 

Memorandum to the File through 

Barbara E. Tillman, Director, AD/CVD 

Operations Office 6, Import 

Administration from the Team, ‘‘New 

Shipper Review Initiation Checklist,’’

dated February 21, 2007 on file in the 

Central Records Unit, room B–099, of 

the main Commerce building. We 

intend to issue the preliminary results 

of this review not later than 180 days 

after the date on which this review is 

initiated, and the final results of this 

review within 90 days after the date on 

which the preliminary results are 

issued. 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 

351.214(g)(1)(i)(B), the POR for a new 

shipper review initiated in the month 

immediately following the semiannual 

anniversary month will be the sixmonth period immediately preceding 

the semiannual anniversary month. 

Therefore, the POR for this new shipper 

review is July 1, 2006 through December 

31, 2006. 

Interested parties seeking access to 

proprietary information in this new 

shipper review should submit 

applications for disclosure under

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On December 27, 2006, the 

Department published Antidumping 

Proceedings: Calculation of the 

Weighted Average Dumping Margin 

During an Antidumping Investigation; 

Final Modification; see 71 FR 77722 

(Final Modification) in the Federal 

Register. As stated in the Final 

Modification, the Department will no 

longer make average–to-average 

comparisons in antidumping duty 

investigations without providing offsets 

for non–dumped comparisons. The 

Department stated that, among other 

things, it would apply the Final 

Modification in the implementation of 

the findings of the WTO panel in United 

States - Laws, Regulations and 

Methodology for Calculating Dumping 

Margins (‘‘Zeroing’’) (WT/DS294) (US 

Zeroing (EC)) pursuant to section 129 of 

the Uruguay Round Agreements Act 

(URAA) with respect to the specific 

investigations challenged by the EC. 

The Department is initiating 

proceedings to implement the WTO 

panel’s report in US - Zeroing (EC), 

consistent with section 129 of the 

URAA (Section 129 Proceedings) in the 

following antidumping duty 

investigations: 

1. Certain Hot–rolled Carbon Steel from 

the Netherlands (A–421–807) 

2. Stainless Steel Bar from France (A–

427–820) 

3. Stainless Steel Bar from Germany (A–

428–830) 

4. Stainless Steel Bar from Italy (A–475–

829) 

5. Stainless Steel Bar from the United 

Kingdom (A–412–822) 

6. Stainless Steel Wire Rod from 

Sweden (A–401–806) 

7. Stainless Steel Wire Rod from Spain 

(A–469–807) 

8. Stainless Steel Wire Rod from Italy 

(A–475–820) 

9. Certain Stainless Steel Plate in Coils 

from Belgium (A–423–808) 

10. Stainless Steel Sheet and Strip in 

Coils from Italy (A–475–824) 

11. Certain Cut–to-length Carbon–

quality Steel Plate from Italy (A–475–

826) 

12. Certain Pasta from Italy (A–475–818) 

Although the EC challenged 15 

antidumping duty investigations, the 

Department revoked the antidumping 

duty order associated with three of 

those investigations: Certain Cut–toLength Carbon–Quality Steel Plate from 

France (A–427–816), Certain Stainless 

Steel Sheet and Strip in Coils from 

France (A–427–814), and Certain 

Stainless Steel Sheet and Strip in Coils 

from the United Kingdom (A–412–818). 

See Certain Stainless Steel Sheet and 

Strip in Coils from France and the 

United Kingdom; Final Results of Sunset 

Reviews and Revocation of 

Antidumping Duty Order, 70 FR 44894 

(August 4, 2005); Revocation of 

Antidumping Duty Order: Certain Cut– 

To-Length Carbon–Quality Steel Plate 

from France, 70 FR 72787 (December 7, 

2005). Pursuant to section 129(c)(1)(B) 

of the URAA, a determination made 

under section 129 applies to 

unliquidated entries of the subject 

merchandise entered, or withdrawn 

from warehouse, for consumption on or 

after the date on which the U.S. Trade 

Representative directs the Department 

to implement the determination. The 

date on which the U.S. Trade 

Representative directs the Department 

to implement the determination will 

necessarily be after the effective date of 

revocation of the above–cited three 

investigations. As a result, the 

Department is not conducting section 

129 proceedings with respect to the 

three investigations. 

Scope of the Section 129 Proceedings 

The WTO panel found that the 

Department acted inconsistently with 

the Antidumping Agreement when it 

engaged in average–to-average 

comparisons during the challenged 

investigations without providing offsets 

for sales where the export price was 

greater than normal value. In these 

Section 129 Proceedings, it is the 

Department’s intention to recalculate 

the weighted–average dumping margin 

starting with the calculation of the 

weighted–average dumping margin in 

the final determination of the original 

investigations. Where the Department 

issued an amended final determination, 

as a result of litigation or otherwise, the 

Department intends to start with the 

calculation of the weighted–average 

dumping margin in the most recent 

amended final determination. The 

Department is opening a separate 

administrative record in each of these 

Section 129 Proceedings, and placing on 

each administrative record an 

administrative protective order, the 

relevant databases, and the margin 

calculation computer program. The 

Department intends solely to recalculate 

the dumping margins using the 

methodology described in the Final 

Modification. 

Opportunity to Request an 

Administrative Protective Order 

In accordance with section 351.305(b) 

of the Department’s regulations, 

interested parties may request access to 

business proprietary information 

concerning these proceedings. 

Timetable 

The Department intends to issue its 

draft results by February 26, 2007, for 

each of the subject investigations. 

Interested parties may submit case briefs 

no later than two weeks after the 

issuance of the draft results, consistent 

with 19 CFR 351.309(c)(1)(i). Rebuttal 

briefs, limited to issues raised in the 

case briefs, may be filed no later than 

five days after the deadline for case 

briefs, consistent with 19 CFR 

351.309(d). Interested parties may 

request a hearing on the issues raised in 

the case and rebuttal briefs no later than 

five days after the deadline for the case 

briefs. See 19 CFR 351.310(c) (stating 

the Secretary may alter the time for 

submitting a request for a hearing). 

The purpose of the Section 129 

Proceedings is to render the 

Department’s determination not 

inconsistent with the findings of the 

panel. To that end, the Department will
