Senior Executive Service Performance
Review Board for the Chemical Safety
and Hazard Investigation Board (CSB).
DATES: Effective January 11, 2007.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Christopher Kirkpatrick, Office of
General Counsel, (202) 261–7600.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 5 U.S.C.
4314(c)(1) requires each agency to
establish, in accordance with
regulations prescribed by the Office of
Personnel Management, a performance
review board (PRB). The PRB reviews
initial performance ratings of members
of the Senior Executive Service (SES)

performance ratings and awards for
senior executives. Because the CSB is a
small independent Federal agency, the
SES members of the CSB’s PRB are
being drawn from other Federal
agencies.
The Chairperson of the CSB has
appointed the following individuals to
the CSB Senior Executive Service
Performance Review Board:
PRB Member—Lawrence W. Roffee
(Executive Director, United States
Access Board).
PRB Member—Leon A. Wilson, Jr.
(Executive Director, Committee for
Purchase From People Who Are Blind
or Severely Disabled).
The above-named members of the
CSB PRB replace Ronald S. Battocchi
(formerly General Counsel, National
Transportation Safety Board) and
Elizabeth S. Woodruff (formerly General
Counsel, Federal Retirement Thrift
Investment Board), whose service on the
PRB has ended. Their appointments
were originally announced in the
Federal Register of December 3, 2004
(69 FR 70224).

Foreign-Trade Subzone 133D—
Davenport, IA; Expansion of
Manufacturing Authority (Articulated
Dump Trucks)
An application has been submitted to
the Foreign-Trade Zones Board (the
Board) by Deere & Company (Deere),
operator of Subzone 133D, requesting
authority for the manufacture of
articulated dump trucks under FTZ
procedures at the company’s
construction equipment manufacturing
plant in Davenport, Iowa. 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 December 28, 2006.
Subzone 133D (2.2 million square
feet, 1,300 employees) was approved by
the Board in 2001 at one site located at
Highway 61 and Mt. Joy Road in
Davenport (Board Order 1180, 66 FR
40673, 8/3/01). Deere’s original
manufacturing authority was granted for
the manufacture of construction
equipment (four-wheel-drive loaders,
motor graders and wheeled log
skidders). Deere is now requesting
authority to manufacture up to several
hundred articulated dump trucks (also
known as haulers) annually under zone
procedures. The company indicates that
the foreign inputs that may be admitted
under FTZ procedures include
transmissions, axles, gear boxes, cabs
and engines. Duty rates on the proposed
imported components currently range
from 2.5 to 4.0 percent.
This application requests authority for
Deere to conduct the activity under FTZ
procedures, which would exempt Deere
from Customs duty payments on the
foreign components used in export
production. Approximately 12 percent
of production is exported. On domestic
sales, the company could choose the
lower duty rate that applies to the
finished product (duty free) for the
E:\FR\FM\11JAN1.SGM

foreign components noted above. The
application indicates that FTZ-related
savings 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 is invited from
interested parties. Submissions (original
and 3 copies) shall be addressed to the
Board’s Executive Secretary at the
address listed below. The closing period
for their receipt is March 12, 2007.
Rebuttal comments in response to
material submitted during the foregoing
period may be submitted during the
subsequent 15-day period (to March 27,

A copy of the application and
accompanying exhibits will be available

Application For Foreign-Trade
Subzone Status MAPE USA, Inc.
(Crankshafts) Cambridge, MN
BILLING CODE 3510–DS–P
An application has been submitted to
the Foreign-Trade Zones Board (the
Board) by the Duluth Seaway Port
Authority, grantee of FTZ 51, requesting
special-purpose subzone status for the
quality-control, warehousing and
distribution facility (crankshafts) of
MAPE USA, Inc. (MAPE), located in
Cambridge, Minnesota. The application
was submitted pursuant to the ForeignTrade 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 December 29, 2006.
The facility for which subzone status
is proposed is located at 315 South
Garfield Street in Cambridge, Minnesota
(1.7 acres; 24,590 sq. ft. of enclosed
space). The facility (15 employees) may
be used under FTZ procedures for
quality control, warehousing and
distribution of crankshafts.
Zone procedures would allow MAPE
to defer Customs duty payments until
merchandise is shipped from its
facilities to its customers (including as
zone-to-zone transfers). The application
indicates that the company also
anticipates realizing significant
logistical/procedural benefits and that
savings from FTZ procedures could 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 is invited from
interested parties. Submissions (original
and 3 copies) shall be addressed to the
Board’s Executive Secretary at the
address below. The closing period for
their receipt is March 12, 2007. Rebuttal

AGENCY:
SUMMARY: On January 5, 2007, the
binational panel issued its decision in
the review of the final results of the
affirmative antidumping duty
determination made by the International
Trade Administration (ITA) respecting
Certain Softwood Lumber Products from
Canada (Secretariat File No. USA–CDA–
2002–1904–02). On October 12, 2006,
ITA filed with the panel, a Motion to
Dismiss this appeal on the ground that
the revocation of the antidumping order
had rendered this proceeding moot. On
October 13, 2006, the Government of
Canada filed a separate motion to
dismiss on the same ground. Neither
motion was filed with the consent of the
other parties of this proceeding. On
October 23, 2006, two Canadian trade
associations opposed the motions to
dismiss, asserting that the revocation of
the antidumping order did not render
this proceeding moot, and urged the
Panel to decide pending motions before
it, including motions seeking
reconsideration of ITA’s most recent
remand determination. Because the
Panel concluded that the October 12,
2006 revocation of the antidumping
order rendered moot this proceeding
and all motions pending at the time of
revocation, the Panel grants the motion
to dismiss. A copy of the complete
panel decision is available from the
NAFTA Secretariat.
