Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 235 / Thursday, December 7, 2006 / Notices
will be 45 days from the date the
Environmental Protection Agency
publishes the notice of availability of
the draft EIS in the Federal Register.
The Forest Service believes, at this
early stage, it is important to give
reviewers notice of several court rulings
related to public participation in the
environmental review process. First,
reviewers of draft statements must
structure their participation in the
environmental review of the proposal so
that it is meaningful and alerts an
agency to the reviewer’s position and
contentions. Vermont Yankee Nuclear
Power Corp. v. NRDC, 435 U.S. 519, 553
(1978). Also, environmental objections
that could be raised at the draft
environmental impact statement stage
but that are not raised until after
completion of the final environmental
impact statement may be waived or
dismissed by the courts. City of Angoon
v. Hodel, 803 F.2d 1016, 1022 (9th Cir.
1986) and Wisconsin Heritages, Inc. v.
Harris, 490 F. Supp. 1334, 1338 (E.D.
Wis. 1980). Because of these court
rulings, it is very important that those
interested in this proposed action
participate by the close of the 45-day
comment period so that substantive
comments and objections are made
available to the Forest Service at a time
when it can meaningfully consider them
and respond to them in the final
environmental impact statement.
To assist the Forest Service in
identifying and considering issues and
concerns on the proposed action,
comments on the draft environmental
impact statement should be as specific
as possible. It is also helpful if
comments refer to specific pages or
chapters of the draft statement.
Comments may also address the
adequacy of the draft environmental
impact statement or the merits of the
alternatives formulated and discussed in
the statement. Reviewers may wish to
refer to the Council on Environmental
Quality Regulations for implementing
the procedural provisions of the
National Environmental Policy Act at 40
CFR 1503.3 in addressing these points.

Vazquez, District Ranger, or Robin

Foreign–Trade Zones Board
Docket T–5–2006
An application has been submitted to
the Acting Executive Secretary of the
Foreign–Trade Zones Board (the Board)
by the Alliance Corridor, Inc., grantee of
FTZ 196, requesting temporary/interim
manufacturing (T/IM) authority within
FTZ 196, at the facilities of Motorola,
Inc. (Motorola) located in Fort Worth,
Texas. The application was filed on
November 28, 2006.
The Motorola facilities (3,800
employees, annual capacity for up to 50
- 60 million mobile phone sets) are
located at multiple locations (including
those of affiliates and third–party
contractors) within Sites 1 and 2 of FTZ
196, and include 4801 Westport
Parkway and 15005 Peterson Court, in
Fort Worth, Texas. Under T/IM
procedures, Motorola has requested
authority to process (kit) certain
imported components into mobile
phone sets (HTSUS 8525.20 - the
phones enter the United States duty–
free). The company may source the
following potentially dutiable
components from abroad for processing
under T/IM authority, as described in its
application: batteries (HTSUS 8507.80),
power supplies (HTSUS 8504.40),
lithium batteries (HTSUS 8507.30),
cables (HTSUS 8544.41), housing
assemblies (HTSUS 8529.90), and
printed circuit connectors (HTSUS
8536.69). Duty rates on these inputs
range from duty–free to 3.4 percent, ad
valorem. T/IM authority could be
granted for a period of up to two years.
Motorola has also submitted a request
for permanent FTZ manufacturing
authority (for which Board filing is
pending), which includes a range of
additional inputs.
FTZ T/IM procedures would allow
Motorola to elect the finished–product
duty rate for the imported components
listed above. The application indicates
that most of the FTZ savings would
result from choosing the duty–free rate
on mobile phones for imported batteries
(HTSUS 8507.80, duty rate - 3.4%). The
company indicates that it would also
realize logistical/paperwork savings and
duty–deferral savings under FTZ
procedures. Motorola’s application
states that the above–cited savings from
zone procedures could help improve the
company’s international
competitiveness.

(POR) is July 1, 2004, through June 30,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background
On August 4, 2006, the Department
published in the Federal Register the
preliminary results of the administrative
review of the antidumping duty order
on canned pineapple fruit from
Thailand. See Canned Pineapple Fruit
from Thailand: Preliminary Results of
Antidumping Duty Administrative
Review, 71 FR 44256 (August 4, 2006)
(Preliminary Results). On August 23,
2006, we received a case brief from Vita
in response to the Department’s
invitation to comment on the
Preliminary Results. On September 11,
2006, we received a rebuttal brief from
the petitioners. The Department
received no comments regarding its
preliminary decision to base TROFCO’s
margin on adverse facts available (AFA).
Scope of the Order
The product covered by the order is
canned pineapple fruit, defined as
pineapple processed and/or prepared
into various product forms, including
rings, pieces, chunks, tidbits, and
crushed pineapple, that is packed and
cooked in metal cans with either
pineapple juice or sugar syrup added.
Imports of canned pineapple fruit are
currently classifiable under subheadings
2008.20.0010 and 2008.20.0090 of the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTSUS). HTSUS
2008.20.0010 covers canned pineapple
fruit packed in a sugar–based syrup;
HTSUS 2008.20.0090 covers canned
pineapple fruit packed without added
sugar (i.e., juice–packed). The HTSUS
subheadings are provided for
convenience and customs purposes. The
written description of the merchandise
covered by this order is dispositive.
Partial Final Rescission of Review
As stated in the Preliminary Results,
the Department concluded that
Prachuab Fruit Canning Co., Ltd.
(PRAFT) made no shipments of subject
merchandise during the POR. Therefore,
consistent with the Preliminary Results,
and in accordance with 19 CFR
§ 351.213(d)(3), we are rescinding the
instant review with respect to PRAFT.
We received no comments on the
Department’s decision in the
Preliminary Results to rescind this
review with respect to PRAFT.
Analysis of Comments Received
The one issue raised in Vita’s case
brief is addressed in the Issues and
Decision Memorandum to David M.
Spooner, Assistant Secretary for Import
Administration, from Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import
Administration, dated concurrently
herewith (Decision Memorandum),

which is adopted herein, by reference
(that issue is identified in the appendix
attached to this notice). The Decision
Memorandum is on file in the Central
Records Unit, Room B–099 of the
Herbert C. Hoover Building, and may be
accessed on the Web at https://trade.gov/
ia/index.asp, ‘‘Federal Register
Notices.’’
Final Results of Review
We determined that the following
weighted–average percentage margins
exist for the period July 1, 2004, through
June 30, 2005:
Manufacturer/Exporter
Vita Food Factory
(1989) Ltd. .................
Tropical Food Industries
Co., Ltd. ....................
Margin (percent)

51.16
Assessment
The Department has determined, and
U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties
on all appropriate entries. In accordance
with 19 CFR § 351.212(b)(1), we
calculated importer/customer–specific
assessment rates for Vita’s subject
merchandise. Since Vita did not report
the entered value for its sales, we
calculated per–unit assessment rates for
its merchandise by summing, on an
importer or customer–specific basis, the
dumping margins calculated for all U.S.
sales of subject merchandise to the
importer or customer and dividing this
amount by the total quantity of those
sales. To determine whether the per–
unit duty assessment rates were de
minimis (i.e., less than 0.50 percent ad
valorem), in accordance with the
requirement set forth in 19 CFR
§ 351.106(c)(2), we calculated importer/
customer- specific ad valorem ratios
based on adjusted export prices. Where
the importer/customer- specific
assessment rate is above de minimis, we
will instruct CBP to assess this rate
uniformly on all appropriate entries. For
TROFCO, the respondent receiving a
dumping margin based upon AFA, we
will instruct CBP to liquidate entries
according to the AFA ad valorem rate.
The Department intends to issue
assessment instructions to CBP 15 days
after the date of publication of the final
results of review.
The Department clarified its
‘‘automatic assessment’’ regulation on
May 6, 2003. See Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Proceedings:
Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68
FR 23954 (May 6, 2003). This
clarification applies to POR entries of
subject merchandise produced by
companies included in these final
