Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) 18—San 

Jose, California; Notification of 

Proposed Production Activity; Tesla, 

Inc. (Electric Passenger Vehicles and 

Components); Fremont and Palo Alto, 

California 

Tesla, Inc. (Tesla) submitted a 

notification of proposed production 

activity to the FTZ Board for its 

facilities in Palo Alto and Fremont, 

California. The notification conforming 

to the requirements of the regulations of 

the FTZ Board (15 CFR 400.22) was 

received on August 1, 2018. 

Tesla already has authority to produce 

electric vehicles and components of 

electric vehicles within Subzone 18G. 

The current request would add one 

foreign status material/component to the 

scope of authority. Pursuant to 15 CFR 

400.14(b), additional FTZ authority 

would be limited to the specific foreignstatus material/component described in 

the submitted notification (as described 

below) and subsequently authorized by 

the FTZ Board. 

Production under FTZ procedures 

could exempt Tesla from customs duty 

payments on the foreign-status material/ 

component used in export production. 

On its domestic sales, for the foreignstatus material/component noted below, 

Tesla would be able to choose the duty 

rates during customs entry procedures 

that apply to electric passenger vehicles 

and related components (duty-free to 

3.4%). Tesla would be able to avoid 

duty on foreign-status components 

which become scrap/waste. Customs 

duties also could possibly be deferred or 

reduced on foreign-status production 

equipment. 

The material/component sourced 

from abroad is an automotive navigation 

apparatus (electronic control unit) 

(duty-free). 

Public comment is invited from 

interested parties. Submissions shall be 

addressed to the Board’s Executive 

Secretary at the address below. The 

closing period for their receipt is 

September 24, 2018.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On January 23, 2018, Commerce 

initiated the LTFV investigation of 

imports of certain plastic decorative 

ribbon from China.1 The period of 

investigation is April 1, 2017, through 

September 31, 2017. On August 8, 2018, 

Commerce published its Preliminary 

Determination in the LTFV 

investigation.2

Postponement of Final Determination 

Section 735(a)(2) of the Tariff Act of 

1930, as amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 

351.210(b)(2) provide that a final 

determination may be postponed until 

not later than 135 days after the date of 

the publication of the preliminary 

determination if, in the event of an 

affirmative preliminary determination, a 

request for such postponement is made 

by the exporters or producers who 

account for a significant proportion of 

exports of the subject merchandise, or in 

the event of a negative preliminary 

determination, a request for such 

postponement is made by the 

petitioners. Further, 19 CFR 

351.210(e)(2) requires that such 

postponement requests by exporters be 

accompanied by a request for extension 

of provisional measures from a fourmonth period to a period of not more 

than six months, in accordance with 

section 733(d) of the Act. 

On July 19, 2018, Dongguan Mei Song 

Plastic Industry Co., Ltd. (Mei Song) and 

Ningbo Junlong Craft Gift Co., Ltd. 

(Junlong), two mandatory respondents 

that account for a ‘‘significant portion’’ 

of subject merchandise in the LTFV 

investigation, requested that Commerce 

fully extend the deadline for the final 

determination and extend the 

application of the provisional measures 

from a four-month period to a period of 

not more than six months.3

In accordance with section 

735(a)(2)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.210(b)(2)(ii), because: (1) The 

preliminary determination was 

affirmative; (2) the request was made by 

exporters who account for a significant 

proportion of exports of the subject 

merchandise from the country at issue; 

and (3) no compelling reasons for denial 

exist, Commerce is postponing the final 

determination of the investigation until 

no later than 135 days after the date of 

the publication of the relevant 

preliminary determination, and 

extending the provisional measures 

from a four-month period to a period of 

not more than six months. Accordingly, 

Commerce will issue its final 

determination in the LTFV investigation 

no later than December 21, 2018.4

This notice is issued and published 

pursuant to 19 CFR 351.210(g).

SUMMARY: In response to a request from 

Core Pipe Products, Inc., Shaw Alloy 

Piping Products, Inc., and Taylor Forge 

Stainless, Inc. (the petitioners), the 

Department of Commerce (Commerce) is 

initiating a changed circumstances 

review of the antidumping duty order 

on stainless steel butt-weld pipe fittings 

(pipe fittings) from the Philippines. 

DATES: Applicable August 14, 2018.

respectively. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

As a result of the antidumping duty 

order 1 issued following the completion 

of the less-than-fair-value (LTFV) 

investigation of pipe fittings from the 

Philippines, imports of pipe fittings 

from respondent Enlin Steel 

Corporation (Enlin) became subject to a 

cash deposit rate of 33.81 percent.2 The 

‘‘all others’’ rate established in the LTFV 

investigation was 7.59 percent.3

On May 24, 2018, the petitioners 

requested that Commerce initiate a 

changed circumstances review of the 

Order, alleging that since imposition of 

the Order, Enlin has been evading the 

cash deposit rates established in the 

investigation by shipping its production 

through its affiliates Vinox Corporation 

(Vinox) (or Vinoc Corporation) and E N 

Corporation, which enter merchandise 

under the lower ‘‘all others’’ rate.4 The 

petitioners also filed a supplement to 

their request on May 31, 2018, which 

provided further support for their 

allegation.5 On June 26, 2018, Enlin, 

Vinox, and E N Corporation filed 

comments requesting that Commerce 

deny the petitioners’ request.6 The 

petitioners filed a rebuttal to these 

comments on June 26, 2018, requesting 

that Commerce disregard Enlin’s 

opposition letter.7 On July 5, 2018,
