Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 153 / Wednesday, August 10, 2005 / Notices
Denver, Colorado, grantee of FTZ 123,
requesting special–purpose subzone
status with manufacturing authority (X–
ray film, color paper, digital media,
inkjet paper, and entertainment
imaging) for the facilities of the Eastman
Kodak Company (Kodak), located in
Windsor, Colorado. The application was
submitted pursuant to 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 August 1, 2005.
The facilities for which subzone
status is proposed are on one site (800
acres total; 3.2 million sq. ft. of enclosed
space) located at 9952 Eastman Park
Drive in Windsor, Colorado. The
facilities (approximately 1650 full- and
part–time employees) would be used
initially under FTZ procedures for
manufacturing, processing,
warehousing, and distributing printer
cartridges and thermal media, which
have duty rates ranging from duty–free
to 3.7% ad valorem. For Kodak’s current
manufacturing, foreign–sourced
materials account for approximately 50
percent of finished–product value. The
application lists thermal media (HTSUS
category 3702.44) and film base
(3920.62) as the primary material inputs
which may be sourced from abroad
initially, with duty rates ranging from
3.7% to 4.2%.
The application also requests
authority to include a broad range of
inputs and final products that the plant
may produce under FTZ procedures in
the future within the categories of X–ray
film, color paper, digital media, inkjet
paper, and entertainment imaging (i.e.,
motion picture film, consumer film and
related chemicals). (New major activity
in these inputs/products could require
review by the FTZ Board.) General
HTSUS categories of inputs include:

Kodak would be able to choose the

would also be able to avoid duty on
foreign inputs which become scrap/

related savings. Kodak may also realize

An application has been submitted to
the Foreign–Trade Zones Board (the

Board) by Monroe County, New York,
grantee of FTZ 141, to expand the scope
of manufacturing authority for the
Eastman Kodak Company (Kodak) under
zone procedures within Subzone 141A,
at the Kodak plant located at sites in the
Rochester, New York area. The
application was submitted pursuant to
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 August 1,
2005.
Subzone 141A was approved by the
Board in 1988 and is currently
comprised of four sites in the Rochester,
New York area. Authority was granted
for the manufacture of: photographic
film, paper and chemicals;
photographic/video cameras, equipment
and supplies; copiers, office machines,
and computer equipment; medical
instruments and equipment; and life
science chemicals (Board Order 401, 53
FR 52456, 12/28/1988).
Kodak is now proposing to expand
the scope of manufacturing activity
conducted under zone procedures at
Subzone 141A to include additional
finished products (printer cartridges and
thermal media). These finished products
fall into categories which enter the
United States at duty rates ranging from
duty–free to 3.7% ad valorem. Kodak’s
application indicates that foreign–
sourced materials under the proposed
expanded scope (thermal media and
film base HTSUS categories 3702.44 and
3920.62, respectively) have duty rates
ranging from 3.7% to 4.2%.
Expanded subzone manufacturing
authority would exempt Kodak from
Customs duty payments on foreign
components when used in export
production of the new products. On its
domestic sales, Kodak would be able to
choose the lower duty rate that applies
to the new finished products for foreign
components, when applicable. Kodak

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On July 1, 2004, the Department
published a notice of opportunity to
request an administrative review of this
order (69 FR 39903). On July 30, 2004,
in accordance with 19 CFR
351.213(b)(1), FMC requested that the
Department conduct an administrative
review of Shanghai AJ Import and
Export Corporation (Shanghai AJ).
On September 22, 2004, the
Department published a notice of
initiation of this administrative review
(69 FR 56745). On March 25, 2005, the
Department extended the due date for
the preliminary results of this review to
August 1, 2005 (70 FR 15293).
On October 13, 2004, we issued an
antidumping questionnaire to Shanghai
AJ and its producer, Degussa–AJ
(Shanghai) Initiators Co., Ltd. (Degussa–
AJ), collectively Shanghai AJ/Degussa–
AJ. Shanghai AJ/Degussa–AJ submitted
timely responses to the questionnaire in
November and December 2004. We
issued supplemental questionnaires in
March, April, May, and June 2005, and
received timely responses to each from
Shanghai AJ/Degussa–AJ.
On June 10, 2005, FMC submitted
publicly available information for
consideration in valuing the factors of
production. Shanghai AJ/Degussa–AJ
submitted information for this purpose
on June 20 and 27, 2005. FMC
submitted rebuttal comments on June 29
and July 8, 2005.
Scope of the Order
The products covered by this review
are persulfates, including ammonium,
potassium, and sodium persulfates. The
chemical formula for these persulfates
are, respectively, (NH4)2S2O8, K2S2O8,
and Na2S2O8. Potassium persulfates are
currently classifiable under subheading
2833.40.10 of the Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (HTSUS).
Sodium persulfates are classifiable
under HTSUS subheading 2833.40.20.
Ammonium and other persulfates are
classifiable under HTSUS subheadings
2833.40.50 and 2833.40.60. Although
the HTSUS subheadings are provided
for convenience and customs purposes,
the written description of the scope of
this order is dispositive.
Verification
As provided in section 782(i) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act),

Foreign-Trade Zone 141 Rochester, New York, Expansion of

An application has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones Board
(the
[[Page 46476]]

the scope of manufacturing authority for the Eastman Kodak Company
(Kodak) under zone procedures within Subzone 141A, at the Kodak plant
located at sites in the Rochester, New York area. The application was
submitted pursuant to 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 August 1, 2005.
Subzone 141A was approved by the Board in 1988 and is currently
comprised of four sites in the Rochester, New York area. Authority was
granted for the manufacture of: photographic film, paper and chemicals;
photographic/video cameras, equipment and supplies; copiers, office
machines, and computer equipment; medical instruments and equipment;
and life science chemicals (Board Order 401, 53 FR 52456, 12/28/1988).
Kodak is now proposing to expand the scope of manufacturing
activity conducted under zone procedures at Subzone 141A to include
additional finished products (printer cartridges and thermal media).
These finished products fall into categories which enter the United
States at duty rates ranging from duty-free to 3.7% ad valorem. Kodak's
application indicates that foreign-sourced materials under the proposed
expanded scope (thermal media and film base HTSUS categories 3702.44
and 3920.62, respectively) have duty rates ranging from 3.7% to 4.2%.
Expanded subzone manufacturing authority would exempt Kodak from
Customs duty payments on foreign components when used in export
production of the new products. On its domestic sales, Kodak would be
