Grant of Authority for Subzone Status;

Puerto Rico

Pursuant to its authority under the ForeignTrade Zones Act of June 18, 1934, as

amended (19 U.S.C. 81a–81u), the ForeignTrade Zones Board (the Board) adopts the

following Order:

Whereas, by an Act of Congress

approved June 18, 1934, an Act ‘‘To

provide for the establishment * * * of

foreign-trade zones in ports of entry of

the United States, to expedite and

encourage foreign commerce, and for

other purposes,’’ as amended (19 U.S.C.

81a–81u) (the Act), the Foreign-Trade

Zones Board (the Board) is authorized to

grant to qualified corporations the

privilege of establishing foreign-trade

zones in or adjacent to U.S. Customs

ports of entry;

Whereas, the Board’s regulations (15

CFR Part 400) provide for the

establishment of special-purpose

subzones when existing zone facilities

cannot serve the specific use involved;

Whereas, an application from the

Commercial Farm Credit and

Development Corporation of Puerto

Rico, grantee of Foreign-Trade Zone 61,

for authority to establish specialpurpose subzone status at the

pharmaceutical manufacturing plant of

Ohmeda Caribe Inc./Ohmeda

Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Inc., in

Guayama, Puerto Rico, was filed by the

Board on June 22, 1995, and notice

inviting public comment was given in

the Federal Register (FTZ Docket 33–95,

60 FR 34510, 7–3–95); and,

Whereas, the Board adopts the

findings and recommendations of the

examiner’s report, and finds that the

requirements of the FTZ Act and

Board’s regulations are satisfied, and

that approval of the application for a

five-year period, subject to extension, is

in the public interest;

Now, therefore, the Board hereby

grants authority for subzone status at the

pharmaceutical manufacturing plant of

Ohmeda Caribe Inc./Ohmeda

Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Inc.,

located in Guayama, Puerto Rico

(Subzone 61H), at the location described

in the application, for a period of 5

years from the date of this Board Order,

subject to extension upon application,

and subject to the FTZ Act and the

Board’s regulations, including § 400.28.

[Docket A(32b1)–1–97]

Foreign-Trade Zone 62—Brownsville,

TX; Request for Manufacturing

Authority AMFELS, Inc. (Offshore

Drilling Platforms/Shipbuilding)

An application has been submitted to

the Foreign-Trade Zones Board (the

Board) by the Brownsville Navigation

District, grantee of FTZ 62, pursuant to

§ 400.32(b)(1) of the Board’s regulations

(15 CFR Part 400), requesting authority

on behalf of AMFELS, Inc. (AMFELS)(a

subsidiary of FELS Offshore PTE Ltd., of

Singapore), for the manufacture,

refurbishment and repair of mobile

offshore drilling and other oceangoing

vessels under FTZ procedures within

FTZ 62. It was formally filed on

February 25, 1997.

AMFELS operates a 133-acre facility

(800 employees) within FTZ 62-Site 8

(Brownsville Navigation District) for the

manufacture, refurbishment and repair

of offshore petroleum drilling/

production platforms (HTSUS#8905.20),

classified as oceangoing vessels. Up to

70 percent of the components of the

platforms are purchased from foreign

sources, including steel plates, high

pressure pipes and fittings, electric

cables, and steel cable anchor chains

(1997 duty rate range: free–6.2%, ad

valorem).

This application requests authority to

allow AMFELS to conduct the activity

under FTZ procedures, subject to the

‘‘standard shipyard restriction’’

applicable to foreign-origin steel mill

products, which requires that full duties

be paid on such items.

FTZ procedures would exempt

AMFELS from Customs duty payments

on the foreign components used in

export activity (currently 100% of

shipments). On its domestic sales, the

company would be able to choose the

duty rate that applies to finished

oceangoing vessels (duty free) for the

foreign electric cables and cable anchor

chains noted above. Foreign-sourced

steel mill products, such as pipe and

plate, would be subject to the full

Customs duties applicable to those

items. FTZ procedures would also

exempt certain merchandise from

certain ad valorem inventory taxes. The

application indicates that the savings

from FTZ procedures would help

improve the facility’s international

competitiveness.

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 April 7, 1997. Rebuttal

comments in response to material

submitted during the foregoing period

may be submitted during the subsequent

15-day period (to April 21, 1997).

A copy of the application will be

available for public inspection at the

following location: Office of the

Executive Secretary, Foreign-Trade

Zones Board, Room 3716, U.S.

Department of Commerce, 14th Street &

Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, Washington,

DC 20230.

In accordance with sections 353.22(a)

and 355.22(a) of the regulations, an

interested party as defined by section

353.2(k) may request in writing that the

Secretary conduct an administrative

review. The Department has changed its

requirements for requesting reviews for

countervailing duty orders. Pursuant to

19 C.F.R. 355.22(a) of the regulations, an
Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 45 / Friday, March 7, 1997 / Notices 10523

interested party must specify the

individual producers or exporters

covered by the order or suspension

agreement for which they are requesting

a review (Interim Regulations, 60 FR

25130, 25137 (May 11, 1995)).

Therefore, for both antidumping and

countervailing duty reviews, the

interested party must specify for which

individual producers or exporters

covered by an antidumping finding or

an antidumping or countervailing duty

order it is requesting a review, and the

requesting party must state why it

desires the Secretary to review those

particular producers or exporters. If the

interested party intends for the

Secretary to review sales of merchandise

by an exporter (or a producer if that

producer also exports merchandise from

other suppliers) which were produced

in more than one country of origin, and

each country of origin is subject to a

separate order, then the interested party

must state specifically, on an order-byorder basis, which exporter(s) the

request is intended to cover.

Seven copies of the request should be

submitted to the Assistant Secretary for

Import Administration, International

Trade Administration, Room B–099,

U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th

Street & Constitution Avenue, N.W.,

Washington, D.C. 20230. The

Department also asks parties to serve a

copy of their requests to the Office of

Antidumping/Countervailing

Enforcement, Attention: Sheila Forbes,

in room 3065 of the main Commerce

Building. Further, in accordance with

section 353.31(g) or 355.3(g) of the

regulations, a copy of each request must

be served on every party on the

Department’s service list.

The Department will publish in the

Federal Register a notice of ‘‘Initiation

of Administrative Review of

Antidumping or Countervailing Duty

Order, Finding, or Suspended

Investigation,’’ for requests received by

the last day of March 1997. If the

Department does not receive, by the last

day of March 1997, a request for review

of entries covered by an order, finding,

or suspended investigation listed in this

notice and for the period identified

above, the Department will instruct the

Customs Service to assess antidumping

or countervailing duties on those entries

at a rate equal to the cash deposit of (or

bond for) estimated antidumping or

countervailing duties required on those

entries at the time of entry, or

withdrawal from warehouse, for

consumption and to continue to collect

the cash deposit previously ordered.

This notice is not required by statute,

but is published as a service to the

international trading community.

Determination Not To Revoke

Antidumping Duty Orders and

Findings Nor To Terminate Suspended

Investigations

AGENCY: Import Administration,

International Trade Administration,

Department of Commerce.

ACTION: Determination not to revoke

antidumping duty orders and findings

nor to terminate suspended

investigations.

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce

is notifying the public of its

determination not to revoke the

antidumping duty orders and findings

nor to terminate the suspended

investigations listed below.

EFFECTIVE DATE: March 7, 1997.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Michael Panfeld or the analyst listed

under Antidumping Proceeding at:

Import Administration, International

Trade Administration, U.S. Department

of Commerce, 14th Street & Constitution

Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20230.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

Department of Commerce (the

Department) may revoke an

antidumping duty order or finding or

terminate a suspended investigation,

pursuant to 19 CFR § 353.25(d)(4)(iii), if

no interested party has requested an

administrative review for four

consecutive annual anniversary months

and no domestic interested party objects

to the revocation or requests an

administrative review.

We had not received a request to

conduct an administrative review for

the most recent four consecutive annual

anniversary months. Therefore,

pursuant to § 353.25(d)(4)(i) of the

Department’s regulations, on November

27, 1996, we published in the Federal

Register a notice of intent to revoke

these antidumping duty orders and

findings and to terminate the suspended

investigations and served written notice

of the intent to each domestic interested

party on the Department’s service list in

each case. Within the specified time

frame, we received objections from

domestic interested parties to our intent

to revoke these antidumping duty orders

and findings and to terminate the

suspended investigations. Therefore,

because domestic interested parties

objected to our intent to revoke or

terminate, we no longer intend to revoke

these antidumping duty orders and

findings or to terminate the suspended

investigations.
