notification conforming to the 

requirements of the regulations of the 

FTZ Board (15 CFR 400.22) was 

received on August 18, 2017. 

voestalpine already has authority to 

produce hot briquetted iron (HBI) and 

related by-products using certain 

foreign-status materials within Subzone 

122T. voestalpine has a pending 

production notification requesting to 

expand its scope of authority (B–42– 

2017, 82 FR 30821, July 3, 2017). The 

current request would add a foreignstatus material to the scope of authority. 

Pursuant to 15 CFR 400.14(b), 

additional FTZ authority would be 

limited to the specific foreign-status 

material described in the submitted 

notification (as described below) and 

subsequently authorized by the FTZ 

Board. 

Production under FTZ procedures 

could exempt voestalpine from customs 

duty payments on the foreign-status 

lump iron ore used in export 

production. On its domestic sales, for 

foreign-status lump iron ore (duty free), 

voestalpine would be able to choose the 

duty rates during customs entry 

procedures that apply to HBI and 

certain by-products: Iron sludge, 

recycled iron briquettes, direct 

reduction remet, iron fines, and HBI 

fines (for which voestalpine’s request 

for authority is currently pending) (duty 

free). voestalpine would be able to avoid 

duty on foreign-status components 

which become scrap/waste. Customs 

duties also could possibly be deferred or 

reduced on foreign-status production 

equipment. 

Public comment is invited from 

interested parties. Submissions shall be 

addressed to the Board’s Executive 

Secretary at the address below. The 

closing period for their receipt is 

October 23, 2017. 

A copy of the notification will be 

available for public inspection at the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On December 1, 2016, the Department 

published in the Federal Register a 

notice of opportunity to request an 

administrative review of the CVD order 

on CVP–23 from India for the period 

January 1, 2015, through December 31, 

2015.1 On December 7, 2016, the 

Department received a timely request 

for review from Pidilite Industries 

Limited (Pidilite), in accordance with 

section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, 

as amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 

351.213(b), to conduct an administrative 

review of this CVD order.2 Based upon 

this request, on February 13, 2017, the 

Department published in the Federal 

Register a notice of initiation of an 

administrative review of the CVD order 

on CVP–23 from India with respect to 

Pidilite.3 No other party requested an 

administrative review. On March 28, 

2017, Pidilite timely withdrew its 

request for an administrative review.4

Rescission of Administrative Review 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the 

Secretary will rescind an administrative 

review, in whole or in part, if the party 

that requested the review withdraws its 

request within 90 days of the 

publication of the notice of initiation of 

the requested review. In this case, 

Pidilite timely withdrew its request for 

review within the 90-day deadline, and 

no other party requested an 

administrative review of this order. 

Therefore, we are rescinding the 

administrative review of the CVD order 

on CVP–23 from India covering the 

period January 1, 2015, through 

December 31, 2015. 

Assessment 

The Department will instruct U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to 

assess countervailing duties on all 

appropriate entries at a rate equal to the 

cash deposit of estimated countervailing 

duties required at the time of entry, or

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

The Petitions 

On August 16, 2017, the U.S. 

Department of Commerce (the 

Department) received antidumping duty 

(AD) Petitions concerning imports of 

stainless steel flanges from India and the 

People’s Republic of China (PRC), filed 

in proper form on behalf of the Coalition 

of American Flange Producers and its 

individual members, Core Pipe 

Products, Inc. and Maass Flange 

Corporation (collectively, the 

petitioners).1 The AD Petitions were 

accompanied by countervailing duty 

(CVD) Petitions concerning imports of 

stainless steel flanges from India and the 

PRC. The petitioners are domestic 

producers of stainless steel flanges.2

On August 18 and 21, 2017, the 

Department requested supplemental 

information pertaining to certain areas 

of the Petitions.3 The petitioners filed 

responses to these requests on August 

22, 2017.4 The petitioners filed revised 

scope language on August 30, 2017.5

In accordance with section 732(b) of 

the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 

Act), the petitioners allege that imports 

of stainless steel flanges from India and 

the PRC are likely to be sold in the 

United States at less than fair value 

within the meaning of section 731 of the 

Act, and that such imports are 

materially injuring, or threatening 

material injury to, the domestic industry 

producing stainless steel flanges in the 

United States. Also, consistent with 

section 732(b)(1) of the Act, the 

Petitions are accompanied by 

information reasonably available to the 

petitioners supporting their allegations. 

The Department finds that the 

petitioners filed these Petitions on 

behalf of the domestic industry because 

the petitioners are interested parties as 

defined in sections 771(9)(C) and (F) of 

the Act. The Department also finds that 

the petitioners demonstrated sufficient 

industry support with respect to the 

initiation of the AD investigations that 

the petitioners are requesting.6

Periods of Investigation 

Because the Petitions were filed on 

August 16, 2017, the period of 

investigation (POI) for the investigation 

for India is July 1, 2016, through June 

30, 2017. Because the PRC is a nonmarket economy (NME) country, the 

POI for this investigation is January 1, 

2017, through June 30, 2017. 

Scope of the Investigations 

The products covered by these 

investigations are stainless steel flanges 

from India and the PRC. For a full 

description of the scope of these 

investigations, see the ‘‘Scope of the 

Investigations,’’ in the Appendix to this 

notice. 

Comments on Scope of the 

Investigations 

During our review of the Petitions, the 

Department issued questions to, and 

received responses from, the petitioners 

pertaining to the proposed scope to 

ensure that the scope language in the 

Petitions would be an accurate 

reflection of the products for which the 

domestic industry is seeking relief.7

As discussed in the preamble to the 

Department’s regulations, we are setting 

aside a period for interested parties to 

raise issues regarding product coverage 

(scope).8 The Department will consider 

all comments received from interested 

parties and, if necessary, will consult 

with interested parties prior to the 

issuance of the preliminary 

determinations. If scope comments 

include factual information,9 all such 

factual information should be limited to 

public information. To facilitate 

preparation of its questionnaires, the 

Department requests all interested 

parties to submit such comments by 

5:00 p.m. Eastern Time (ET) on Monday, 

September 25, 2017, which is 20 

calendar days from the signature date of 

this notice. Any rebuttal comments, 

which may include factual information, 

must be filed by 5:00 p.m. ET on 

Thursday, October 5, 2017, which is 10
