cables, copper wire, power cords,

optical fiber, casters, cases, labels, and

packaging materials (1997 duty range:

Free—9.2%). Some 30 percent of the

finished products are exported.

Zone procedures would exempt ZSL

from Customs duty payments on foreign

components used in export production.

On its domestic sales, ZSL would be

able to choose the lower duty rate that

applies to the finished products (free—

6.6%) for the foreign components noted

above. The application indicates that

the savings from zone procedures would

help improve the facility’s 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 on the application is

invited from interested parties.

Submissions (original and three copies)

shall be addressed to the Board’s

Executive Secretary at the address

below. The closing period for their

receipt is October 27, 1997. Rebuttal

comments in response to material

submitted during the foregoing period

may be submitted during the subsequent

15-day period (to November 10, 1997).

A copy of the application and the

accompanying exhibits will be available

Porcelain-on-Steel Cooking Ware From

the People’s Republic of China:

Initiation of Changed Circumstances

Antidumping Duty Administrative

Review

AGENCY: Import Administration,

International Trade Administration,

Department of Commerce.

ACTION: Notice of initiation of changed

circumstances Antidumping Duty

Administrative Review.

SUMMARY: In response to a request from

Clover Enamelware Enterprises Ltd.

(Clover) and Lucky Enamelware Factory

Ltd. (Lucky), the Department of

Commerce (the Department) is initiating

a changed circumstances administrative

review of the antidumping duty order

on porcelain-on-steel (POS) cooking

ware from the People’s Republic of

China (PRC) to determine whether to

revoke the order, in part, with respect to

tea kettles. Clover and Lucky (Clover/

Lucky) assert that the sole U.S. producer

of POS cooking ware, General

Housewares Corporation (GHC),

affirmatively stated in its request for a

changed circumstances review of the

antidumping order on POS cooking

ware from Taiwan that it no longer

manufactures POS tea kettles and thus

has no interest in the importation or sale

of POS tea kettles. See Porcelain-onSteel Cooking Ware from Taiwan: Final

Results of Changed Circumstances

Antidumping Administrative Review,

and Revocation in Part of Antidumping

Duty Order 62 FR 10024 (March 5, 1997)

(Taiwan: Final Results of Changed

Circumstances Review). According to

Clover/Lucky, GHC’s statements in the

Taiwan case should be the basis for

revoking, in part, the PRC order on POS

cooking ware, with respect to tea kettles.

EFFECTIVE DATE: August 27, 1997.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The Applicable Statute and Regulations

Unless otherwise indicated, all

citations to the statute are references to

the provisions effective January 1, 1995,

the effective date of the amendments

made to the Tariff Act of 1930, as

amended by the Uruguay Round

Agreements Act (the Act). In addition,

unless otherwise indicated, all citations

to the Department’s regulations are to

the regulations as set forth at 19 CFR

353.1, et seq., as amended by the

interim regulations published in the

Federal Register on May 11, 1995 (60

FR 25130), which were applicable on

May 30, 1997, the date of Clover/

Lucky’s request for a changed

circumstances administrative review of

the antidumping duty order on POS

cooking ware from the PRC.

Background

On May 30, 1997, Clover/Lucky

requested that the Department conduct

a changed circumstances administrative

review to determine pursuant to 19 CFR

353.25(d) whether to revoke, in part, the

antidumping duty order on POS cooking

ware from the PRC with regard to tea

kettles. The basis for this request is that

GHC, the sole U.S. producer of POS

cooking ware, affirmatively stated in its

request for a changed circumstances

review of the antidumping order on POS

cooking ware from Taiwan that it no

longer manufactures POS tea kettles and

thus has no interest in the importation

or sale of POS tea kettles. Based on

GHC’s affirmative statement of no

interest, with respect to tea kettles,

submitted in the proceeding on the

antidumping duty order on POS cooking

ware from Taiwan, the Department

revoked the antidumping order on POS

cooking ware from Taiwan, in part, with

respect to tea kettles. See Taiwan: Final

Results of Changed Circumstances

Review. Clover/Lucky assert that GHC’s

broad statements in the Taiwan case

should be the basis for revoking, in part,

the order with respect to tea kettles in

the PRC case.

On May 30, 1997, Clover/Lucky also

requested that the Department publish

concurrently its notice of initiation and

preliminary results of changed

circumstances review, pursuant to 19

CFR 353.25(d)(2). Clover/Lucky assert

that GHC’s affirmative statement of no

interest in the importation or sale of

POS tea kettles submitted by it in the

Taiwan case should be considered a

statement of no interest in the

importation or sale of POS cooking ware

from the PRC. Thus, Clover/Lucky argue

that expedited treatment of their request

for a changed circumstances review of

the PRC antidumping duty order is

warranted.

Scope of Review

The products covered by this

antidumping order are POS cooking

ware, including tea kettles, which do

not have self-contained electric heating

elements. All of the foregoing are

constructed of steel and are enameled or

glazed with vitreous glasses.

Kitchenware is not subject to this order.

See Antidumping Duty Order:

Porcelain-on-Steel Cooking Ware from

the People’s Republic of China, 51 FR

43414 (December 2, 1986).

The products covered by this changed

circumstances review are tea kettles

from the PRC. Imports of tea kettles are

currently classifiable under the

harmonized tariff schedule (HTS)

subheading 7323.94.00.10. The HTS

subheading is provided for convenience

and U.S. Customs purposes. Our written

description of the scope of this

proceeding is dispositive. The order

with regard to imports of other POS

cooking ware is not affected by this

request.

Initiation of Changed Circumstances

Antidumping Duty Administrative

Review

Pursuant to section 751(d) of the Act,

the Department may partially revoke an

antidumping duty order based on a

review under section 751(b) of the Act.

Pursuant to section 751(b) of the Act,

the Department will conduct a changed

circumstances administrative review

upon receipt of information concerning,

or a request from an interested party for

a review of, an antidumping duty order

which shows changed circumstances

sufficient to warrant a review of the

order. See section 751(b)(1) of the Act.

The Department’s regulations at 19

CFR 353.25(d)(2) permit the Department

to conduct a changed circumstances

administrative review under section

353.22(f) based upon the existence of

changed circumstances sufficient to

warrant a review. Section 782(h) of the

Act and 19 CFR 353.25(d)(1) further

provide that the Department may revoke

an order, or revoke an order, in part, if

it determines that changed

circumstances sufficient to warrant

revocation of the order, or part of the

order, exist. In addition, in the event the

Department determines expedited

action is warranted, section 353.22(f)(4)

of the regulations permits the

Department to combine the notices of

initiation and preliminary results.

Therefore, in accordance with section

751(b)(1) and 751(d) of the Act and 19

CFR 353.25(d) and 353.22(f)(1)(i), we are

initiating a changed circumstances

administrative review based upon the

information contained in Clover/

Lucky’s May 30, 1997 request for this

review. The Department concludes that

it would be inappropriate to expedite

this action pursuant to 19 CFR

353.25(f)(4) by issuing a preliminary

determination prior to conducting an

investigation in the instant case because

the orders on POS cooking ware from

Taiwan and the PRC are separate and

distinct. As such, a decision on one

order cannot automatically be assumed

to be applicable to another order

involving a different country. Therefore,

the Department is not issuing

preliminary results of its changed

circumstances antidumping duty

administrative review at this time.

The Department will publish in the

Federal Register a notice of preliminary

results of changed circumstances

antidumping duty administrative

review, in accordance with 19 CFR

353.22(f)(1)(v), which will set forth the

factual and legal conclusions upon

which our preliminary results are based.

The Department will also issue final

results of review, and will publish these

results in the Federal Register. All

written comments must be submitted in

accordance with 19 CFR 353.31(e) and

must be served on all interested parties

on the Department’s service list in

accordance with 19 CFR 353.31(g).

If final revocation, in part, occurs, we

will instruct the U.S. Customs Service to

end the suspension of liquidation and to

refund, with interest, any estimated

antidumping duties collected for all

unliquidated entries of tea kettles that

are not subject to a final results of

administrative review. The current

requirement for a cash deposit of

estimated antidumping duties on all

subject merchandise, including tea

kettles, will continue unless and until it

is modified pursuant to the final results

of this changed circumstances review.

This notice is in accordance with

sections 751(b)(1) and (d) of the Act and

section 353.22(f)(1)(i) of the

Department’s regulations.

Dated: August 20, 1997.

Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for

Import Administration.
