Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 72 / Friday, April 14, 2006 / Notices has held. Furthermore, the value of those contracts was less than ten percent of the contractor’s total sales. Therefore, the contractor cannot be considered dependent on contracts for the product. In addition, because the contractor would not be guaranteed to receive future contracts if the product remained in the competitive bidding system, the contractor’s inability to recoup its capital investment is not a significant factor in the Committee’s impact decision. The Government has not purchased this product since 2004. Consequently, it is likely that any job loss attributable to the product will have already occurred. In view of these facts, the Committee has concluded that addition of the product to the Procurement List is not likely to have a severe adverse impact on the contractor. The following material pertains to all of the items being added to the Procurement List. Regulatory Flexibility Act Certification I certify that the following action will not have a significant impact on a substantial number of small entities. The major factors considered for this certification were: 1. The action will not result in any additional reporting, recordkeeping or other compliance requirements for small entities other than the small organizations that will furnish the product and service to the Government. 2. The action will result in authorizing small entities to furnish the product and service to the Government. 3. There are no known regulatory alternatives which would accomplish the objectives of the Javits-WagnerO’Day Act (41 U.S.C. 46–48c) in connection with the product and service proposed for addition to the Procurement List. wwhite on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES End of Certification Accordingly, the following product and service are added to the Procurement List: Product Product/NSN: Filter, Element Coalescer 4330–00–983–0998—Filter, Element Coalescer NPA: New Ventures Enterprises, Inc., LaGrange, Georgia Contracting Activity: Defense Supply Center Columbus, Columbus, Ohio Service Service Type/Location: Grounds Maintenance & Snow Removal, Bishop Henry Whipple Federal Building, 1 Federal Drive, Fort Snelling, Minnesota NPA: Tasks Unlimited, Inc., Minneapolis, Minnesota Contracting Activity: GSA, Public Buildings Service, Region 5, Chicago, Illinois VerDate Aug<31>2005 17:50 Apr 13, 2006 Jkt 208001 Deletions On February 17, 2006, the Committee for Purchase From People Who Are Blind or Severely Disabled published notice (71 FR 8565/8566) of proposed deletions to the Procurement List.

Wimpfheimer & Bro., Inc., (Textile Finishing) An application has been submitted to the Foreign–Trade Zones Board (the Board) by the Capital Region Airport Commission, grantee of FTZ 207, requesting special–purpose subzone E:\FR\FM\14APN1.SGM 14APN1 wwhite on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES 19480 Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 72 / Friday, April 14, 2006 / Notices status for the textile finishing plant of A. Wimpfhheimer & Bro., located in Blackstone, Virginia. 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 April 4, 2006. The plant (6 acres/175,000 sq.ft.), known as the ‘‘American Velvet’’ property, is located at 300 Church Street, in the city of Blackstone, Virginia. The facility (30 employees) is used to process textile pile fabrics for the U.S. market and export. In this activity, foreign, quota–class woven and knit fabrics (classified under HTSUS 5801.22.1000, 5801.22.9000, 5801.23, 5801.35.0010, 5801.35.0020, 5907.00.6000, 6001.92.2000, 6001.92.0020; 6001.92.0040, 6004.10.0085) would be admitted to the proposed subzone under privileged foreign status (19 CFR § 146.41) in greige form to be processed, dyed, and finished using domestic dyes and chemicals. The finishing activity may involve shrinking, sanferizing, desizing, sponging, bleaching, cleaning/ laundering, calendaring, hydroxilating, decatizing, fulling, mercerizing, chintzing, moiring, framing/beaming, stiffening, weighting, crushing, tubing, thermofixing, anti–microbial finishing, flame retardation, and embossing the foreign–sourced fabric. The finished privileged foreign status fabric would either be exported from the proposed subzone or be transferred for Customs entry under its original HTSUS and textile quota classifications (no activity would be permitted that would result in transformation, tariff shift, or change in quota class or country of origin), with appropriate duty assessment and quota decrement (if applicable). FTZ procedures would exempt Wimpfhheimer from Customs duty payments on the foreign fabric processed for re–export. On shipments for the U.S. market, full duty payment would be deferred until the fabric is transferred from the zone for Customs entry. The application indicates that the savings from FTZ procedures would help improve the facility’s 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.

Also in accordance with the Court’s remand, we calculated a separate company–specific antidumping margin for NNL based on verified information on the record. On April 3, 2006, the Court sustained the Department’s remand redetermination. See Hontex Judgment. Timken Notice In its decision in Timken Co. v. United States, 893 F.2d 337, 341 (Fed.

    An application has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones Board 
(the Board) by the Capital Region Airport Commission, grantee of FTZ

located in Blackstone, Virginia. 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 April 4, 2006.
    The plant (6 acres/175,000 sq.ft.), known as the ``American 
Velvet'' property, is located at 300 Church Street, in the city of 
Blackstone, Virginia. The facility (30 employees) is used to process 
textile pile fabrics for the U.S. market and export. In this activity, 
foreign, quota-class woven and knit fabrics (classified under HTSUS

5907.00.6000, 6001.92.2000, 6001.92.0020; 6001.92.0040, 6004.10.0085) 
would be admitted to the proposed subzone under privileged foreign 
status (19 CFR Sec.  146.41) in greige form to be processed, dyed, and 
finished using domestic dyes and chemicals. The finishing activity may 
involve shrinking, sanferizing, desizing, sponging, bleaching, 
cleaning/laundering, calendaring, hydroxilating, decatizing, fulling, 
mercerizing, chintzing, moiring, framing/beaming, stiffening, 
weighting, crushing, tubing, thermofixing, anti-microbial finishing, 
flame retardation, and embossing the foreign-sourced fabric. The 
finished privileged foreign status fabric would either be exported from 
the proposed subzone or be transferred for Customs entry under its 
original HTSUS and textile quota classifications (no activity would be 
permitted that would result in transformation, tariff shift, or change 
in quota class or country of origin), with appropriate duty assessment 
and quota decrement (if applicable).
    FTZ procedures would exempt Wimpfhheimer from Customs duty payments 
on the foreign fabric processed for re-export. On shipments for the 
U.S. market, full duty payment would be deferred until the fabric is 
transferred from the zone for Customs entry. The application indicates 
that the savings from FTZ procedures would help improve the facility's 
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
