18740 Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 74 / Thursday, April 17, 1997 / Notices

Will County, Illinois: Site 1 (1,200

acres)—refinery complex located at I–55

and Arsenal Road, on the Des Plaines

River, 8 miles south of Joliet, some 50

miles southwest of Chicago; Site 2 (94

acres)—Mokena storage facility (780,000

barrel capacity) located at 183rd St and

Wolf Road, some 25 miles southwest of

Chicago. The refinery (210,000 BPD) is

used to produce fuels and

petrochemical feedstocks. Fuel products

include include gasoline, jet fuel,

distillates, residual fuels, naphthas and

motor fuel blendstocks. Petrochemical

feedstocks and refinery by-products

include methane, ethane, propane,

propylene, butane, butadiene, benzene,

toluene, xylene, petroleum coke, carbon

black oil and sulfur. Some 3.6 percent

of the crude oil (90 percent of inputs),

and some motor fuel blendstocks are

sourced abroad.

Zone procedures would exempt the

refinery from Customs duty payments

on the foreign products used in its

exports. On domestic sales, the

company would be able to choose the

Customs duty rates that apply to certain

petrochemical feedstocks and refinery

by-products (duty-free) by admitting

incoming foreign crude oil and natural

gas condensate in non-privileged foreign

status. The duty rates on inputs range

from 5.25¢ barrel to 10.5¢ barrel. The

application indicates that the savings

from zone procedures would help

improve the refinery’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 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 June 16, 1997. Rebuttal

comments in response to material

submitted during the foregoing period

may be submitted during the subsequent

15-day period (to July 1, 1997).

Scope of Order

The products covered by this order

are brake rotors made of gray cast iron,

whether finished, semifinished, or

unfinished, ranging in diameter from 8

to 16 inches (20.32 to 40.64 centimeters)

and in weight from 8 to 45 pounds (3.63

to 20.41 kilograms). The size parameters

(weight and dimension) of the brake

rotors limit their use to the following

types of motor vehicles: automobiles,

all-terrain vehicles, vans and

recreational vehicles under ‘‘one ton

and a half,’’ and light trucks designated

as ‘‘one ton and a half.’’

Finished brake rotors are those that

are ready for sale and installation

without any further operations. Semifinished rotors are those on which the

surface is not entirely smooth, and has

undergone some drilling. Unfinished

rotors are those which have undergone

some grinding or turning.

These brake rotors are for motor

vehicles, and do not contain in the

casting a logo of an original equipment

manufacturer (OEM) which produces

vehicles sold in the United States (e.g.,

General Motors, Ford, Chrysler, Honda,

Toyota, Volvo). Brake rotors covered in

this investigation are not certified by

OEM producers of vehicles sold in the

United States. The scope also includes

composite brake rotors that are made of

gray cast iron, which contain a steel

plate, but otherwise meet the above

criteria. Excluded from the scope of the

order are brake rotors made of gray cast

iron, whether finished, semifinished, or

unfinished, with a diameter less than 8

inches or greater than 16 inches (less

than 20.32 centimeters or greater than

40.64 centimeters) and a weight less

than 8 pounds or greater than 45 pounds

(less than 3.63 kilograms or greater than

20.41 kilograms).

Brake rotors are classifiable under

subheading 8708.39.5010 of the HTSUS.

Although the HTSUS subheading is

provided for convenience and customs

purposes, our written description of the

scope of this investigation is dispositive.

Antidumping Duty Order

In accordance with section 735(a) of

the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the

Act), the Department made a final

determination that brake rotors from the

People’s Republic of China (PRC) are

being sold at less than fair value (62 FR

9160, February 28, 1997). The

Department subsequently amended its

final determination to correct clerical

errors made in the final determination

(62 FR 15655, April 2, 1997). On April

9, 1997, the International Trade

Commission (ITC) notified the

Department of its final determination,

pursuant to section 735(b)(1)(A)(i) of the

Act, that the brake rotors industry in the

United States is materially injured by

reason of imports of the subject

merchandise from the PRC.1

In accordance with section 736(a)(1)

of the Act, we will direct the Customs

Service to assess, upon further advice by

the administering authority,

antidumping duties equal to the amount

by which the normal value of the

merchandise exceeds the export price

(or the constructed export price) of the

merchandise for all relevant entries of

brake rotors from the PRC, except for

imports of brake rotors from the PRC

made by the following exporter/

producer combinations, which are

excluded from the order by virtue of

having received zero or de minimis rates

in the antidumping duty investigation:

Exporter(s) Producer(s)

China National Automotive Industry Import & Export Corporation (CAIEC) or Shandong

Laizhou CAPCO Industry (Laizhou CAPCO).

Laizhou CAPCO.

Shenyang Honbase Machinery Co., Ltd. (Shenyang) or Lai Zhou Luyuan Automobile

Fittings Co., Ltd. (Laizhou).

Shenyang or Laizhou.

China National Machinery and Equipment Import & Export (Xinjiang) Corporation, Ltd.

(Xinjiang).

Zibo Botai Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (Zibo).

Accordingly, all bonds may be

released and entries of these exporters

may be liquidated without regard to

antidumping duties. However, if any of

the above-referenced exporters sells

subject merchandise which is not

manufactured by the producer(s) noted

above with respect to those exporters,

then those entries will be subject to the

‘‘China-wide’’ rate.

For all other exporters, including nonexporter producers listed above should

they later export directly, Customs

officers must require, at the same time

as importers would normally deposit

estimated duties on this merchandise, a

cash deposit equal to the estimated

weighted-average antidumping duty

margins as noted below. The ‘‘Chinawide’’ rate applies to all exporters of

brake rotors not specifically listed

below.

The ad valorem weighted-average

dumping margins are as follows:

On April 9, 1997, the ITC notified the

Department of its negative

determination regarding critical

circumstances. As a result of the ITC’s

determination, pursuant to section

735(c)(3) of the Act, we shall order

Customs to terminate the retroactive

suspension of liquidation and to release

any bond or other security and refund

any cash deposit required under section

733(e)(2) with respect to entries of

subject merchandise entered or

withdrawn from warehouse, for

consumption prior to October 10, 1996,

which is the date of publication of the

preliminary determination.

This notice constitutes the

antidumping duty order with respect to

brake rotors from the PRC. The

Department is excluding from the

application of the order products from

the PRC that are manufactured and sold

to the United States by the PRC

exporter/manufacturer combinations

noted above; however, the ad valorem

weighted-average dumping margin

applicable to brake rotors manufactured
18742 Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 74 / Thursday, April 17, 1997 / Notices

by any other PRC manufacturers and

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On January 31, 1997, we received a

International Association of Machinists

& Aerospace Workers; International

Brotherhood of Electrical Workers;

International Union of Electronic,

Electrical, Salaried, Machine &

Furniture Workers, the AFL-CIO; and

the Industrial Union Department, AFLCIO) to conduct an administrative

review of sales by Mitsubishi

Electronics Industries Inc. (Mitsubishi)

subject to the antidumping duty order

on color picture tubes from Japan. No

other interested party requested an

of initiation of administrative review for

the period January 1, 1996 through

December 31, 1996.

Termination of Review

On March 31, 1997, we received a

timely request for withdrawal of the

regulations, the Department may allow

a party that requests an administrative

review to withdraw such request not

later than 90 days after the date of

publication of the notice of initiation of

the administrative review.

Because petitioners’ request for

withdrawal was submitted within the

Failure to comply with the regulations

and terms of an APO is a sanctionable

violation. We will issue appraisement

instructions directly to the U.S. Customs

Service.
