DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE 

Foreign-Trade Zones Board 

[B–54–2018] 

Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) 75— 

Phoenix, Arizona; Notification of 

Proposed Production Activity; 

Microchip Technology, Inc. 

(Semiconductor Devices and Related 

Products); Chandler and Tempe, 

Arizona 

Microchip Technology, Inc. 

(Microchip) submitted a notification of 

proposed production activity to the FTZ 

Board for its facilities in Chandler and 

Tempe, Arizona. The notification 

conforming to the requirements of the 

regulations of the FTZ Board (15 CFR 

400.22) was received on August 28, 

2018. 

Microchip already has authority to 

produce semiconductor devices and 

related products within Subzone 75H. 

The current request would add foreign 

status materials/components to the 

scope of authority. Pursuant to 15 CFR 

400.14(b), additional FTZ authority 

would be limited to the specific foreignstatus materials/components described 

in the submitted notification (as 

described below) and subsequently 

authorized by the FTZ Board. 

Production under FTZ procedures 

could exempt Microchip from customs 

duty payments on the foreign-status 

materials/components used in export 

production. On its domestic sales, for 

the foreign-status materials/components 

noted below, Microchip would be able 

to choose the duty rates during customs 

entry procedures that apply to: Field 

programmable microcontrollers; 

application-specific processors; related 

memory products; and, application 

development tools (duty rate ranges 

from duty-free to 3%). Microchip 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 materials/components sourced 

from abroad include: In-circuit 

debuggers; rubber caps; evaporative air 

coolers; antennas; plastic boxes, cases, 

crates, stoppers, lids and caps; memory 

modules—not incorporating a cathode 

ray tube; brushless DC electric motors; 

power supply, output < 50 watts; static 

converters; transformers; relay 

contactors; lamp-holder plugs; lamp 

sockets; electrical equipment for 

switching of electrical circuits; servo 

drive boards (for test floor probers); 

infrared lamps; printed circuit 

assemblies; coaxial cables; and, 

electrical conductors with fitted 

connections (duty rate ranges from dutyfree to 5.3%). The request indicates that 

certain materials/components are 

subject to special duties under Section 

301 of the Trade Act of 1974 (Section 

301), depending on the country of 

origin. The applicable Section 301 

decision requires subject merchandise 

to be admitted to FTZs in privileged 

foreign status (19 CFR 146.41). 

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 

October 15, 2018. 

A copy of the notification will be 

available for public inspection at the 

Office of the Executive Secretary, 

Foreign-Trade Zones Board, Room 

21013, U.S. Department of Commerce, 

1401 Constitution Avenue NW,

Large Power Transformers From the 

Republic of Korea: Notice of Final 

Results of Antidumping Duty Changed 

Circumstances Review 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce 

(Commerce) finds that Hyundai Electric 

& Energy Systems Co., Ltd. (HEES) is the 

successor-in-interest to Hyundai Heavy 

Industries Co., Ltd. (HHI) and that HHI’s 

current cash deposit rate is the 

applicable rate for all entries of the 

subject merchandise exported by HEES. 

In addition, we determine that facts 

presented in this changed circumstances 

review (CCR) warrant the retroactive 

application of the cash deposit rate to 

the effective date of the first entry by 

HEES. 

DATES: Applicable September 5, 2018.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On August 31, 2012, Commerce 

published in the Federal Register an 

antidumping duty order on large power 

transformers (LPTs) from the Republic 

of Korea (Korea).1 HHI was one of the 

producers/exporters reviewed in the 

less-than fair-value investigation and 

has been reviewed in each subsequent 

administrative review of the Order. 

During the 2014–2015 administrative 

review, covering the period August 1, 

2014, through July 31, 2015, Commerce 

assigned HHI an antidumping duty rate 

of 60.81 percent, finding that the 

application of total adverse facts 

available (AFA) was warranted.2 In 

addition, during the 2015–2016 

administrative review, covering the 

period August 1, 2015, through July 31, 

2016, Commerce continued to assign 

HHI an antidumping duty rate of 60.81 

percent, finding that the application of 

total AFA was warranted.3

Pursuant to section 751(b)(1) of the 

Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act) 

and 19 CFR 351.216(d), on December 4, 

2017, Commerce self-initiated a CCR 

regarding HHI’s new spin off company, 

HEES, based on information obtained: 

(1) During the course of the 2014/2015 

and 2015/2016 administrative reviews; 

(2) via public search and a phone 

conversation with a representative 

retained by ABB Inc.’s (ABB’s or the 

petitioner’s) counsel; and (3) from U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 

data.4

On May 31, 2018, Commerce issued 

the Preliminary Results of this CCR, in 

which it determined that: (1) HEES is 

the successor-in-interest to HHI; (2) 

HHI’s current cash deposit rate is the 

rate applicable for all entries of LPTs 

exported by HEES; and (3) the 

application of the cash deposit rate 

applicable to HEES shall be made
