the imported components range from 

duty-free to 12.5 percent. 

This application requests authority for 

STIHL to conduct the manufacturing 

activity under FTZ procedures, which 

could exempt the company from 

customs duty payments on the imported 

components used in export production. 

Approximately 40 percent of production 

is exported. On domestic sales, the 

company could defer duty payment and 

choose the lower duty rate (duty-free to 

4.7 percent) that applies to the finished 

products for the imported components 

used in manufacturing. STIHL may also 

realize savings related to direct delivery 

and weekly customs entry procedures. 

The company would also realize savings 

on the elimination of duties on 

materials that become scrap/waste 

during manufacturing. The application 

indicates that the FTZ-related savings 

would improve the plant’s international 

competitiveness. 

In accordance with the Board’s 

regulations, Christopher Kemp of the 

FTZ staff is 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 listed below. The closing period 

for their receipt is December 15, 2008. 

Rebuttal comments in response to 

material submitted during the foregoing 

period may be submitted during the 

subsequent 15-day period (to December 

29, 2008). 

A copy of the application and 

accompanying exhibits will be available 

at each of the following addresses:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August 

6, 2008, the Department of Commerce 

(the Department) published the 

preliminary results of the administrative 

review of the antidumping duty order

The current deadline for the final results 

of this review is December 4, 2008. 

Extension of Time Limits for Final

Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act 

of 1930, as amended (the Act), requires 

the Department to issue the final results 

of an administrative review within 120

period, section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act

time limit for the final results up to 180

production and certain adjustments 

made to U.S. price. Consequently, and
