35712 Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 131 / Monday, July 8, 1996 / Notices

the FTZ Staff is considering a

recommendation to the FTZ Board

which would provide for an 18-month

period (instead of 12 months) for

possible reinstatement of lapsed grants

of authority. This would allow zone

grantees to apply for reinstatement of

FTZ authority for their general-purpose

zone sites, and for subzones on an

individual basis, if the FTZ activation

requirements are met within 18 months

of a lapse of authority. Grantees should

notify the Executive Secretary when

steps are being taken to qualify for

reinstatement.

During the reinstatement period, the

authority for the affected zone and any

associated subzones is considered

lapsed, but termination of authority

would not occur until the end of the

reinstatement period. During the

reinstatement period, the processing of

any pending application(s) from the

zone project involved will be halted;

but, a grantee may request that

processing be continued with regard to

applications that are related to FTZ

activation.

Interpretive Guidelines

Interpretive guidelines 1–3 below

remain the same, as published in the

first notice, but guideline 4 has been

revised.

1. A zone which had been in FTZ

activation at any time and for any length

of time within the applicable time frame

(i.e., prior to the lapse date) is not

affected by the lapse provision.

2. The FTZ activation of any part of

a general-purpose zone or a subzone

will suffice to preserve FTZ authority

for all of the general-purpose sites of a

zone project, but each subzone is

considered separately.

3. The starting time for tolling

whether a lapse of authority has

occurred will be from the time of the

original grant of authority for a zone

project, and it will affect all generalpurpose zone sites and subzones

associated with the project, however

recently approved, as well as

applications submitted to or pending

with the FTZ Board or the FTZ Staff.

4. The FTZ activation of a generalpurpose zone or subzone may be

determined to extend to separate, but

related, general-purpose zones or

subzones approved for the same grantee

if the projects were approved in the

same Board action or if the projects are

so interrelated in terms of their

administration as an element of state/

regional/local economic development

programs (in the case of subzones, if the

sites are administered as a unit by the

subzone company), providing that the

Customs Port Directors involved concur.

Authority for Determinations/Decisions

The Executive Secretary would have

authority to make determinations and

decisions on matters relating to the

lapse of authority provision, including

FTZ activation and reinstatement.

Appeals from such determinations and

decisions could be made to the Board by

affected zone grantees as provided for in

§ 400.47 (15 CFR Part 400).

Comments Invited: Further comments

are invited in writing until August 7,

1996, from grantees and interested

parties as to any of the information,

procedures or guidelines outlined in

this notice. They should be addressed

to: Executive Secretary, Foreign-Trade

Zones Board, U.S. Department of

Commerce, Room 3716, 14th &

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 Department’s

Interim Regulations (60 FR 25137 (May

11, 1995)), an interested party must

specify the individual producers or

exporters covered by the order for

which they are requesting a review.

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 and 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 Compliance, Attention:

Pamela Woods, in room 3065 of the

main Commerce Building. Further, in

accordance with section 353.31(g) or

355.31(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 Antidumping (Countervailing) Duty

Administrative Review,’’ for requests

received by the last day of July 1996. If

the Department does not receive, by the

last day of July 1996, a request for

review of entries covered by an order or

finding 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.

Dated: June 28, 1996.

Joseph A. Spetrini,

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Compliance.

Results of Antidumping Duty

Administrative Reviews, Termination

of Administrative Reviews, and Partial

Termination of Administrative Reviews

AGENCY: Import Administration,

ACTION: Notice of Preliminary Results of

Antidumping Duty Administrative

Reviews, Termination of Administrative

Reviews, and Partial Termination of

Administrative Reviews.

SUMMARY: In response to requests from

interested parties, the Department of

Commerce (the Department) is

conducting administrative reviews of

the antidumping duty orders on

antifriction bearings (other than tapered

roller bearings) and parts thereof (AFBs)

from France, Germany, Italy, Japan,

Singapore and the United Kingdom. The

classes or kinds of merchandise covered

by these orders are ball bearings and

parts thereof (BBs), cylindrical roller

bearings and parts thereof (CRBs), and

spherical plain bearings and parts

thereof (SPBs). The reviews cover 27

manufacturers/exporters. The period of

review (the POR) is May 1, 1994,

through April 30, 1995.

Although we initiated reviews for

seven other manufacturers/exporters,

we are terminating the reviews because

the requests for these reviews were

withdrawn in a timely manner. In

addition, the Department is terminating

reviews of the orders on BBs from

Romania and Thailand. The sole request
