Foreign-Trade Zone 20—Suffolk, VA; 

Scope Clarification Request—ForeignTrade Subzone 20D, Canon Virginia, 

Inc.—Newport News, VA (Computer 

Printers and Related Products) 

A request for clarification of scope has 

been submitted to the Foreign-Trade 

Zones Board (the Board) by Canon 

Virginia, Inc. (Canon), operator of 

Foreign-Trade Subzone 20D at Canon’s 

computer printer and related products 

manufacturing facilities in Newport 

News, Virginia. 

A grant of authority for Canon’s 

subzone was issued on November 21, 

2002, with manufacturing authority for 

computer printers, printer cartridges 

and drums, toner and toner bottles, and 

refurbished copiers (Board Order 1262, 

67 FR 71934, 12/03/2002). Canon listed 

in the original application specific 

components which would be used in 

manufacturing and also listed categories 

of components which might be sourced 

from abroad in the future. The current 

request involves Canon’s toner cartridge 

and subassembly and toner bottle 

production (HTSUS 8443.99—duty 

free). Canon has informed the Board that 

this production will involve the use of 

imported materials that were not 

specifically listed as foreign-sourced 

components in the original subzone 

request. The company now plans to use 

foreign-sourced Teflon solution (HTSUS 

3403.19.5000—5.8%), strontium ferrite 

compound (HTSUS 2841.90.5000— 

3.7%) and barium sulfate mixture 

(HTSUS 3824.90.9290—5%) in its toner 

cartridge and subassembly production 

and strontium ferrite compound in its 

toner bottle production. 

The FTZ staff invites the comments of 

interested parties for consideration in its 

review. Submissions shall be addressed 

to the Board’s Executive Secretary at the 

address listed below. The closing period 

for their receipt is July 24, 2009.

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce 

(‘‘the Department’’) has received 

requests to conduct administrative 

reviews of various antidumping and 

countervailing duty orders and findings 

with May anniversary dates. In 

accordance with the Department’s 

regulations, we are initiating those 

administrative reviews. The Department 

also received requests to revoke two 

antidumping duty orders in part. 

DATES: Effective Date: June 24, 2009. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Sheila E. Forbes, Office of AD/CVD 

Operations, Customs Unit, Import 

Administration, International Trade 

Administration, U.S. Department of 

Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution 

Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20230, 

telephone: (202) 482–4697. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The Department has received timely 

requests, in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.213(b), for administrative reviews of 

various antidumping and countervailing 

duty orders and findings with May 

anniversary dates. The Department also 

received requests to revoke in part the 

antidumping duty orders on Ball 

Bearings and Parts Thereof from Japan 

for three exporters and from the United 

Kingdom for one exporter. 

Notice of No Sales 

Under 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), the 

Department may rescind a review where 

there are no exports, sales, or entries of 

subject merchandise during the 

respective period of review (‘‘POR’’) 

listed below. If a producer or exporter 

named in this initiation notice had no 

exports, sales, or entries during the 

POR, it should notify the Department 

within 30 days of publication of this 

notice in the Federal Register. The 

Department will consider rescinding the 

review only if the producer or exporter, 

as appropriate, submits a properly filed 

and timely statement certifying that it 

had no exports, sales, or entries of 

subject merchandise during the POR. 

All submissions must be made in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.303 and 

are subject to verification in accordance 

with section 782(i) of the Tariff Act of 

1930, as amended (‘‘the Act’’). Six 

copies of the submission should be 

submitted to the Assistant Secretary for 

Import Administration, International 

Trade Administration, Room 1870, U.S. 

Department of Commerce, 14th Street 

and Constitution Avenue, NW., 

Washington, DC 20230. Further, in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.303(f)(1)(i), 

a copy of each request must be served 

on every party on the Department’s 

service list. 

Respondent Selection 

In the event the Department limits the 

number of respondents for individual 

examination for administrative reviews, 

the Department intends to select 

respondents based on U.S. Customs and 

Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’) data for U.S. 

imports during the POR. We intend to 

release the CBP data under 

Administrative Protective Order 

(‘‘APO’’) to all parties having an APO 

within five days of publication of this 

initiation notice and to make our 

decision regarding respondent selection 

within 20 days of publication of this 

Federal Register notice. The 

Department invites comments regarding 

the CBP data and respondent selection 

within 10 calendar days of publication 

of this Federal Register notice. 

Separate Rates 

In proceedings involving non-market 

economy (‘‘NME’’) countries, the 

Department begins with a rebuttable 

presumption that all companies within 

the country are subject to government 

control and, thus, should be assigned a 

single antidumping duty deposit rate. It 

is the Department’s policy to assign all 

exporters of merchandise subject to an 

administrative review in an NME 

country this single rate unless an 

exporter can demonstrate that it is 

sufficiently independent so as to be 

entitled to a separate rate. 

To establish whether a firm is 

sufficiently independent from 

government control of its export 

activities to be entitled to a separate 

rate, the Department analyzes each 

entity exporting the subject 

merchandise under a test arising from 

the Final Determination of Sales at Less 

Than Fair Value: Sparklers From the 

People’s Republic of China, 56 FR 20588 

(May 6, 1991), as amplified by Final 

Determination of Sales at Less Than 

Fair Value: Silicon Carbide From the 

People’s Republic of China, 59 FR 22585 

(May 2, 1994). In accordance with the 

separate-rate criteria, the Department 

assigns separate rates to companies in 

NME cases only if respondents can 

demonstrate the absence of both de jure 

and de facto government control over 

export activities. 

All firms listed below that wish to 

qualify for separate-rate status in the 

administrative reviews involving NME 

countries must complete, as 

appropriate, either a separate-rate 

application or certification, as described 

below. For these administrative reviews, 

in order to demonstrate separate-rate 

eligibility, the Department requires 

entities for whom a review was 

requested, that were assigned a separate 

rate in the most recent segment of this 

proceeding in which they participated, 

to certify that they continue to meet the 

criteria for obtaining a separate rate. The 

Separate Rate Certification form will be 

available on the Department’s Web site 

at http://ia.ita.doc.gov/nme/nme-seprate.html on the date of publication of 

this Federal Register notice. In 

responding to the certification, please 

follow the ‘‘Instructions for Filing the 

Certification’’ in the Separate Rate 

Certification. Separate Rate 

Certifications are due to the Department 

no later than 30 calendar days after 

publication of this Federal Register 

notice. The deadline and requirement 

for submitting a Certification applies 

equally to NME-owned firms, wholly 

foreign-owned firms, and foreign sellers 

who purchase and export subject 

merchandise to the United States. 

Entities that currently do not have a 

separate rate from a completed segment 

of the proceeding 1 should timely file a 

Separate Rate Application to 

demonstrate eligibility for a separate 

rate in this proceeding. In addition, 

companies that received a separate rate 

in a completed segment of the 

proceeding that have subsequently 

made changes, including, but not 

limited to, changes to corporate 

structure, acquisitions of new 

companies or facilities, or changes to 

their official company name,2 should 

timely file a Separate Rate Application
