[Docket 3–2005]
Foreign-Trade Zone 16—Sault Sainte
Marie, MI, Application for Subzone
Status, Northern Imports, LLC,
(Magnesium and Aluminum Casting)
An application has been submitted to
the Foreign-Trade Zones Board (the
Board) by the City of Sault Ste. Marie,
grantee of FTZ 16, requesting specialpurpose subzone status for the
magnesium and aluminum casting
facilities of Northern Imports, LLC (NI),
located in Harbor Springs and
Newberry, Michigan. 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
January 7, 2005.
The proposed subzone would be
composed of two subsidiaries’ sites: Site
1 Northern Diecast plant (8 acres/93,000
sq. ft., manufacturing plant)—8582
Moeller Drive, Harbor Springs (Emmet
County), Michigan, about 100 miles
south of Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan;
and, Site 2 Northern Casting Company
plant (5 acres/27,000 sq. ft.,
manufacturing plant)—6641 County
Road 392, Newberry (Luce County),
about 70 miles west of Sault Ste. Marie.
The facilities (250 employees) are used
to manufacture magnesium and
aluminum automotive parts, parts of
domestic appliances, and sporting goods
for the U.S. market and export. The
application requests FTZ benefits only
for NI’s export manufacturing activity.
(Inverted tariff benefits on foreign
magnesium alloy used in production for
the U.S. market are expressly excluded
from this proposal.) Under the proposed
activity, foreign-origin magnesium alloy
(HTSUS 8104.19.00; ASTM: AM50A,
AM60B, AZ91 D) and aluminum alloy
(HTSUS 7601.20.90, duty free) would be
used to diecast automotive components
(including steering wheels, columns,
boxes; spools, diffusers, end caps,
mirror brackets, steering wheels, airbag
canisters), housings for domestic
vacuum cleaners, and archery bows.
The foreign-origin alloys would
E:\FR\FM\19JAN1.SGM

2998
Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 12 / Wednesday, January 19, 2005 / Notices
comprise about 90 percent of the
finished products’ material value. The
two facilities can process some 17
million pounds of metal annually. On
foreign magnesium alloy that falls
within the scope of the Department’s
antidumping duty orders, the
application indicates that all such
foreign-origin magnesium alloy would
be admitted to the proposed subzone
under domestic status (19 CFR
146.43(a)(2); thereby precluding
inverted tariff benefits or reduced duty
payment on scrap or waste.
FTZ procedures would exempt NI
from Customs duty payments on the
foreign magnesium alloy not subject to
antidumping orders and aluminum
alloy used in export production (37% of
shipments). NI would be exempt from
customs duty payments on foreign
magnesium alloy scrap, waste and dross
generated during manufacturing of
finished products for export (which
could be significant). On its domestic
sales, the company has elected to forego
any inverted tariff benefits on foreign
magnesium alloy not subject to
antidumping duty orders (these
products will be admitted in privileged
foreign status (19 CFR 146.41)). The
application indicates that subzone
status would help improve the facilities’
international competitiveness. 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.
Public comment on the application is
invited from interested parties.
Submissions (original and three copies)
shall be addressed to the Board’s
Executive Secretary at the following

Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Administrative Reviews and Requests
for Revocation in Part, 69 FR 52857
(August 30, 2004). On November 29,
2004, Genesis withdrew its request for
an administrative review of sebacic acid
from the PRC.
DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
Scope of the Review
International Trade Administration
The products covered by this order
are all grades of sebacic acid, a
dicarboxylic acid with the formula
(CH2)8(COOH)2, which include but are
not limited to CP Grade (500 ppm
maximum ash, 25 maximum APHA
color), Purified Grade (1000 ppm
maximum ash, 50 maximum APHA
color), and Nylon Grade (500 ppm
maximum ash, 70 maximum ICV color).
The principal difference between the
grades is the quantity of ash and color.
Sebacic acid contains a minimum of 85
percent dibasic acids of which the
predominant species is the C10 dibasic
acid. Sebacic acid is sold generally as a
free-flowing powder/flake.
Sebacic acid has numerous industrial
uses, including the production of nylon
6/10 (a polymer used for paintbrush and
toothbrush bristles and paper machine
felts), plasticizers, esters, automotive
coolants, polyamides, polyester castings
and films, inks and adhesives,
lubricants, and polyurethane castings
and coatings.
Sebacic acid is currently classifiable
under subheading 2917.13.00.30 of the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTSUS). Although the
HTSUS subheading is provided for
convenience and customs purposes, our
written description of the scope of this
proceeding is dispositive.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
AGENCY:
Background
On July 1, 2004, the Department
published a notice of opportunity to
request an administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on sebacic acid
from the PRC. See Antidumping or
Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or
Suspended Investigation; Opportunity
to Request Administrative Review, 69
FR 39903 (July 1, 2004). On August 30,
2004, pursuant to a request made by
Genesis, the Department initiated an
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on sebacic acid
from the PRC with respect to Tianjin
and Guangdong. See Initiation of
PO 00000
Frm 00004
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Rescission of Review
The Department’s regulations at 19
CFR 351.213(d)(1) provide that the
Department will rescind an
administrative review if the party that
requested the review withdraws its
request for review within 90 days of the
date of publication of the notice of
initiation of the requested review. The
Department’s regulations further
provide that the Secretary may extend
this time limit if the Secretary
determines that it is reasonable to do so.
In this case, the 90-day deadline fell on
a non-business day and, therefore, the
deadline was the next business day,
November 29, 2004. Genesis made a
timely withdrawal of its request for an
administrative review and the
Department has granted the request to
rescind the review because Genesis was
the only party to request the review. The
Department will issue appropriate
assessment instructions to U.S. Customs
