[Docket 51–2005]
Foreign–Trade Zone 202- Los Angeles,
California, Request for Processing
Authority, Citizen Watch Company of
America, Inc. (Watches)
An application has been submitted to
the Foreign–Trade Zones Board (the
Board) by the Port of Los Angeles,
California, grantee of FTZ 202,
requesting authority on behalf of Citizen
Watch Company of America, Inc.
(Citizen) for the processing and
packaging of watches under FTZ
procedures within Site 7 of FTZ 202 in
Torrance, California. 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
October 19, 2005.
Citizen operates a distribution facility
(182 employees) for the warehousing,
packaging and distribution of watches.
The company’s application indicates
that the duty rates for finished watches
range from duty–free to 6 percent (ad
valorem equivalent). Foreign–sourced
inputs include imported gift boxes,
watch bands, watch cases and other
materials with duty rates ranging from
duty–free to 20 percent.
This application requests authority to
allow Citizen to conduct activities
under FTZ procedures, which would
exempt the company from Customs duty
payments on the foreign components
used in export activity. On its domestic
sales, the company would be able to
choose the duty rate that applies to
finished products for the foreign
components noted above. Citizen’s
application indicates that the savings
from zone procedures could help
improve the company’s international
competitiveness.
Public comment on the application is
invited from interested parties.

Fresh Garlic From the People’s
Republic of China; Initiation of New
Shipper Review
Import Administration,
International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
EFFECTIVE DATE: October 26, 2005.
SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce
(the ‘‘Department’’) has determined that
a request for a new shipper review of
the antidumping duty order on fresh
garlic from the People’s Republic of
China (‘‘PRC’’), received in May 2005,
meets the statutory and regulatory
requirements for initiation. The period
of review (‘‘POR’’) of this new shipper
review is November 1, 2004, through
April 30, 2005.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Ryan A. Douglas or Wendy Frankel, AD/
CVD Operations, Office 8, Import
Administration, International Trade
Administration, U.S. Department of
Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution
Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20230;
telephone: (202) 482–1277 and (202)
482–5849, respectively.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
AGENCY:
Background
The notice announcing the
antidumping duty order on fresh garlic
from the PRC was published on
November 16, 1994. See Antidumping
Duty Order: Fresh Garlic From the
People’s Republic of China, 59 FR 59209
(November 16, 1994). On May 17, 2005,
we received a timely request for a new
shipper review from Anqiu Friend Food
Co., Ltd. (‘‘Anqiu Friend’’) in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.214(d)(2).
Anqiu Friend has certified that it grew
and exported the garlic on which it
based its request for a new shipper
review. The Department initially denied
Anqiu Friend’s request for a new
shipper review in this case. However, as
a result of litigation and agreement with
the requester, the Department has
reconsidered its decision and is now
initiating the new shipper review.
Initiation of New Shipper Reviews
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(B)(i)(I) of
the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘the
Act’’) and 19 CFR 351.214(b)(2), Anqiu
Friend certified that it did not export
fresh garlic to the United States during
the period of investigation (‘‘POI’’).
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(B)(i)(II) of
the Act and 19 CFR 351.214(b)(2)(iii)(A),
Anqiu Friend certified that, since the
PO 00000
Frm 00011
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
61787
initiation of the investigation, it has
never been affiliated with any exporter
or grower who exported fresh garlic to
the United States during the POI,
including those not individually
examined during the investigation. As
required by 19 CFR 351.214(b)(2)(iii)(B),
Anqiu Friend also certified that its
export activities were not controlled by
the central government of the PRC.
In addition to the certifications
described above, the exporter submitted
documentation establishing the
following: (1) the date on which it first
shipped fresh garlic for export to the
United States and the date on which the
fresh garlic was first entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption; (2) the volume of its first
shipment and the volume of subsequent
shipments; and (3) the date of its first
sale to an unaffiliated customer in the
United States.
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(B) of the
Act and 19 CFR 351.214(d)(1), we are
initiating this new shipper review for
shipments of fresh garlic from the PRC
grown and exported by Anqiu Friend.
See Memorandum to the File through
Wendy Frankel, ‘‘New Shipper
Initiation Checklist,’’ dated October 12,
2005.
The POR is November 1, 2004,
through April 30, 2005. See 19 CFR
351.214(g)(1)(i)(B). We intend to issue
preliminary results of these reviews no
later than 180 days from the date of
initiation, and final results of these
reviews no later than 270 days from the
date of initiation. See section
751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act.
Because Anqiu Friend has certified
that it grew and exported the fresh garlic
on which it based its request for a new
shipper review, we will instruct U.S.
Customs and Border Protection to allow,
at the option of the importer, the posting
of a bond or security in lieu of a cash
deposit for each entry of fresh garlic
both grown and exported by Anqiu
Friend until the completion of the new
shipper review, pursuant to section
751(a)(2)(B)(iii) of the Act. Interested
parties that need access to proprietary
information in this new shipper review
should submit applications for
disclosure under administrative
protective order in accordance with 19
CFR 351.305 and 351.306.
This initiation and notice are in
accordance with section 751(a)(2)(B) of
the Act and 19 CFR 351.214 and
351.221(c)(1)(i).
