Foreign-Trade Zones Board

[Docket 62–97]

Proposed Foreign-Trade Zone—

Charleston, West Virginia Area,

Application for Subzone, Toyota Motor

Manufacturing West Virginia, Inc. (Auto

Engines), Buffalo, West Virginia

An application has been submitted to

the Foreign-Trade Zones Board (the

Board) by the West Virginia Economic

Development Authority (WVEDA) (a

West Virginia public corporation),

requesting special-purpose subzone

status for the auto engine manufacturing

plant of Toyota Motor Manufacturing

West Virginia, Inc. (TMMWV), in

Buffalo (Putnam County), West Virginia.

The application was submitted pursuant

to the provisions of the Foreign-Trade

Zones Act, as amended (19 U.S.C. 81a–

81u), and the regulations of the Board

(15 CFR Part 400). It was formally filed

on July 22, 1997. WVEDA has an

application pending with the FTZ Board

for the establishment of a generalpurpose foreign-trade zone in the

Charleston, West Virginia, area. It is

authorized to make such proposals

under West Virginia Code § 31–15–6.

The new TMMWV plant (currently

under construction) is located on a 229-

acre site located on WV State Route 62

at WV Secondary Route 32/2 in Buffalo,

West Virginia, some 20 miles northwest

of Charleston. The facility (600,000 sq.

ft., 300 employees, as proposed) would

be used to produce some 400,000 auto

engines per year. Parts and materials

that would initially be sourced from

abroad include: valve components,

engine blocks, cylinder heads, bushings,

gauges, gaskets, insulators, camshaft

bearings, bearing caps, piston pin rings,

knock control and temperature sensors,

and oil pressure switches (duty rate

range: free-3.4%). The application

indicates that the level of foreign parts

used in production will decline to 35

percent (of finished engine value) in the

future. The finished engines would be

shipped primarily to the NUMMI (GMToyota) assembly in California and the

Toyota assembly plant in Ontario,

Canada.

FTZ procedures would exempt

TMMWV from the payment of Customs

duties on foreign merchandise that is

exported. On its domestic sales, the

company would be able to choose the

duty rate that applies to finished

engines (2.6%) instead of the duty rates

that would otherwise apply to the

foreign components noted above.

TMMWV would also have the option to

ship the engines for incorporation into

autos at domestic auto assembly plants

that operate under FTZ procedures, in

which case the duty rate applicable to

finished autos (2.5%) would apply. FTZ

procedures would allow the deferral of

duty payments on foreign capital

equipment until fully installed and

ready for production. FTZ status would

also make the plant eligible for state/

local exemptions on certain inventory

taxes.

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 on the application 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 September 26, 1997. Rebuttal

comments in response to material

submitted during the foregoing period

may be submitted during the subsequent

15-day period (to October 14, 1997). A

Pipes and Tubes From India;

Extension of Time Limit for Final

AGENCY: Import Administration,

Department of Commerce.

ACTION: Notice of extension of time limit

of new shippers review.

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce

(the Department) is extending the time

limit for final results in the new

shippers review of the antidumping

duty order on certain welded carbon

steel standard pipes and tubes from

India, covering the period May 1, 1995,

through April 30, 1996. We are

extending the time limit because we

have determined that this review is

extraordinarily complicated, as

provided for in the Tariff Act of 1930,

as amended (the Act).

EFFECTIVE DATE: July 28, 1997.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On June 27, 1996, the Department

initiated a new shippers review

covering the period May 1, 1995,

through April 30, 1996. We published

the preliminary results on May 1, 1997

in the Federal Register. The final results

are currently due to be issued on July

30, 1997.

Under section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the

Act, if the Department determines that

a new shippers review is extraordinarily

complicated, the Department may

extend the deadline for issuing the final

results of review up to 150 days after the

date the preliminary determination was

issued. In the instant case, the

Department has determined this review

is extraordinarily complicated due to

numerous complex cost-accounting and

level-of-trade issues and the fact that the

review involves the analyses of two

companies (see Memorandum from

Richard W. Moreland to Robert S.

LaRussa, Recommended Extension of

Time Limit for Final Results, July 18,

1997). Therefore, in accordance with

section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act, the

Department is extending the time limit

for the final results to August 29, 1997.

Interested parties must submit

applications for disclosure under

administrative protective order in

accordance with 19 CFR 353.34 (b). This

extension is in accordance with section

751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act.

Dated: July 21, 1997.

Richard W. Moreland,

Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import

Administration.
