Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 196 / Wednesday, October 12, 2005 / Notices Foreign–Trade Zone 57 Charlotte, NC, Application for Subzone(Thermal Media and Digital Printer Cartridges and Components), Concord, North Carolina of digital printer cartridges and components, and warehousing and distribution of these products. For DNP’s current manufacturing, foreign–sourced materials account for some 70 to 96 percent of finished product value. The application lists STR and TTR master rolls, finished STR ribbon, photographic paper and STR printer components (HTSUS categories 3702.39, 3702.42, 3702.44, 3703.20.60 and 8473.30 - duty–free to 3.7%) as the primary material inputs which may be sourced from abroad. Zone procedures would exempt DNP from Customs duty payments on foreign materials used in export production. Some eight percent of the plant’s shipments are currently exported. On domestic sales, the company would be able to choose the lower duty rate that applies to the finished printer cartridges (HTSUS 8473.30, duty–free), rather than the duty rates that would otherwise apply to its foreign–sourced inputs noted above. On domestic sales of its other foreign–origin items, DNP would be able to defer duty until the products are shipped from its facility. The company would also be able to transfer STR products to other FTZs under zone procedures. Additionally, DNP would be able to avoid duty on foreign inputs which become scrap/waste, estimated at 9% of FTZ–related savings. It may also realize logistical/procedural and other benefits from subzone status. The application indicates that the savings from zone procedures will help improve the plant’s international competitiveness. An application has been submitted to the Foreign–Trade Zones Board (the Board) by the North Carolina Department of Commerce, grantee of FTZ 57, requesting special–purpose subzone status for the thermal media and digital printer cartridge and components manufacturing facility of DNP IMS America Corporation (DNP), a subsidiary of Dai Nippon Printing Company, Ltd., in Concord, North Carolina. 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 September 30, 2005. The DNP facility (1 building, 103,550 sq. ft. on 14.7 acres) is located at 4524 Enterprise Drive, NW, in the International Business Park, Concord (Cabarrus County), North Carolina. The DNP plant (115 employees) would be used initially under FTZ procedures for slitting of master rolls of thermal transfer ribbon (TTR) and sublimation transfer ribbon (STR) and the assembly 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 is invited from interested parties. Submissions (original and 3 copies) shall be addressed to the Board’s Executive Secretary at one of the following addresses: 1.

Background

    On April 4, 2002, the Department published in the Federal Register 
the antidumping duty order on ARG windshields from the PRC. See 
Antidumping Duty Order: Automotive Replacement Glass Windshields from 
the People's Republic of China, 67 FR 16087 (April 4, 2002). On April 
1, 2005, the Department published a notice of opportunity to request an 
administrative review of the antidumping duty order on ARG windshields 
from the PRC for the period April 1, 2004, through March 31, 2005. See 
Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or Suspended 
Investigation: Opportunity to Request Administrative Review, 70 FR 
16799 (April 1, 2005). On April 18, 2005, PNA, an importer of subject 
merchandise, requested an administrative review on behalf of Changchun 
Pilkington Safety Glass Company Limited and Wuhan Yaohua Pilkington 
Safety Glass Company Limited (collectively, ``the Pilkington JVs''), 
producers and exporters from which it imported the subject merchandise 
during the period of review (``POR''). On April 22, 2005, CSG, a 
producer and exporter of subject merchandise, requested an 
administrative review of its sales to the United States during the POR. 
On May 27, 2005, the Department published in the Federal Register a 
notice of the initiation of the antidumping duty administrative review 
of ARG windshields from the PRC for the POR. See Initiation Notice. On 
June 13, 2005, the Department issued antidumping duty questionnaires to 
CSG and PNA. On June 15, 2005, CSG submitted a letter to the Department 
withdrawing its request for an administrative review of sales and 
entries of subject merchandise it exported to the United States during 
the POR. On July 15, 2005, PNA submitted its Section A questionnaire 
response. On August 1, 2005, PNA submitted a letter to the Department 
withdrawing its request for an administrative review of sales and 
entries of subject merchandise it imported from the Pilkington JVs.

Rescission of Review

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Department will rescind an 
administrative review, in whole or in part, if a party that requested a 
review withdraws the request within 90 days of the date of publication 
of notice of initiation of the requested review. CSG and PNA withdrew 
their respective requests for review within the 90-day time limit and 
no other party requested reviews with respect to these companies. 
Accordingly, we are rescinding this administrative review as to these 
companies and will issue appropriate assessment instructions to the 
U.S. Bureau of Customs and Border Protection with respect to exports 
from CSG and exports from the Pilkington JVs to PNA for the period 
April 1, 2004, through March 31, 2005.

    This notice serves as a final reminder to importers of their 
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f) to file a certificate regarding 
the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation of the 
relevant entries during this review period. Failure to comply with this 
requirement could result in the Secretary's assumption that 
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and subsequent assessment 
of double antidumping duties.
    This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective order (``APO'') of their responsibility 
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under 
APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3) of the Department's 
regulations. Timely written notification of the return/destruction of 
APO materials or conversion to judicial protective order is hereby
