Proposed Foreign-Trade Zone—

Montgomery, AL; Application and

Public Hearing

An application has been submitted to

the Foreign-Trade Zones Board (the

Board) by the Montgomery Area

Chamber of Commerce Inc. (a non-profit

organization), requesting authority to

establish a general-purpose foreign-trade

zone in Montgomery, Alabama, adjacent

to the Birmingham Customs port of

entry. The application was submitted

pursuant to the provisions of the

Foreign-Trade Zones Act, as amended

(19 U.S.C. 81a–81u), and the regulations

of the Board (15 CFR Part 400). It was

formally filed on April 24, 1996. The

applicant is authorized to make the

proposal under Act No. 498, House Bill

1158, Bound Acts of Alabama, 1977.

The proposed zone would be the third

general-purpose zone in the

Birmingham Customs port of entry area.

The existing zones are: FTZ 98 in

Birmingham (Grantee: City of

Birmingham; Board Order 247, 49 FR

19367, 5/7/84); and, FTZ 211 in

Anniston (Grantee: City of Anniston;

Board Order 788 (61 FR 5375, 2/12/96).

The proposed zone would consists of

2 sites (5,725 acres) in Montgomery: Site

1 (5,170 acres, Airport Site)—located on

Interstate 65 on the south side of

Montgomery; and, Site 2 (555 acres)—

Gunter Industrial Park, adjacent to the

northern Bypass, Montgomery. Site 1 is

comprised of the City’s Dannelly Field

Municipal Airport (1,968 acres), the

adjacent Interstate Enterprise Zone

industrial development area (3,024

acres) owned by ALFA, the Industrial

Development Board of the City of

Montgomery and the privately-owned

adjoining Catoma Industrial Park (178

acres). The Chamber will be responsible

for the marketing and development of

the zone project.

The application contains evidence of

the need for zone services in the

Montgomery area. Several firms have

indicated an interest in using zone

procedures for warehousing/distribution

of such items as electronic equipment,

corrugated boxes, telephone equipment

and plastic products. Specific

manufacturing approvals are not being

sought at this time. Request would be

made to the Board on a case-by-case

basis.

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.

As part of the investigation, the

Commerce examiner will hold a public

hearing on May 30, 1996, 1:00 p.m.,

Montgomery Area Chamber of

Commerce, 41 Commerce Street,

Montgomery, Alabama.

Public comment on the application is

invited from interested parties.

shall be addressed to the Board’s

Executive Secretary at the address

receipt is July 5, 1996. Rebuttal

comments in response to material

Brass Sheet and Strip from Germany;

Preliminary Results of Antidumping

Duty Administrative Review and Notice

of Intent To Revoke Order in Part

AGENCY: Import Administration,

International Trade Administration,

Department of Commerce.

ACTION: Notice of Preliminary Results of

Antidumping Duty Administrative

Review and Notice of Intent to Revoke

Order in Part.

SUMMARY: In response to a request by the

respondent, the Department of

Commerce (the Department) is

conducting an administrative review of

the antidumping duty order on brass

sheet and strip from Germany. The

review covers one manufacturer/

exporter of this merchandise to the

United States, Wieland-Werke AG

(Wieland). The period covered is March

1, 1994 through February 28, 1995. As

a result of the review, the Department

has preliminarily determined that no

dumping margins exist for this

respondent. We intend to revoke the

order with respect to brass sheet and

strip from Germany manufactured by

Wieland, based on our preliminary

determination that Wieland has had a

three-year period of no or de minimis

sales at less than foreign market value.

We invite interested parties to

comment on these preliminary results.

Parties who submit argument in this

proceeding are requested to submit with

the argument (1) a statement of the issue

and (2) a brief summary of the

argument.

EFFECTIVE DATE: May 6, 1996.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On March 6, 1987, the Department

published in the Federal Register (52

FR 6997) the antidumping duty order on

brass sheet and strip from Germany. The

Department published a notice of

‘‘Opportunity to Request an

Administrative Review’’ of the

antidumping duty order for the 1994–

1995 period on March 7, 1995 (60 FR

12540). On March 31, 1995, we received

a request for review from Wieland

covering the period March 1, 1994

through February 28, 1995. We

published a notice of initiation of this

antidumping duty administrative review

on April 14, 1995 (60 FR 19017).

the Assistant Secretary for Import

Administration dated November 22,
