(Motorola) to perform mobile phone kitting under FTZ procedures within FTZ 196. The application was filed on February 16, 2007. 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. Motorola has requested authority to process (kit) certain imported components into mobile phone sets (2006 HTSUS 8525.20 and proposed 2007 HTSUS 8517.12 and 8517.69 - the phones enter the United States duty–free). The company may source the following potentially dutiable components from abroad (representing 95% of total materials) for processing under FTZ procedures, as described in its application: Nicad batteries (HTSUS 8507.80), power supplies (HTSUS 8504.40), lithium batteries (HTSUS 8507.30), cables (2006 HTSUS 8544.41 and proposed 2007 HTSUS 8544.42), connectors and plugs (HTSUS 8536.69), decals (3919.90), plastic holsters (HTSUS 3926.90), leather carrying cases (HTSUS 4202.31.60.00), leather pouches/cases (HTSUS 4202.91.00.90), plastic carrying cases (HTSUS 4202.92.90.60), leather straps (HTSUS 4205.00.40.00), wrist straps (HTSUS 6307.90), key pads fitted with connectors (HTSUS 8537.10), external speaker sets (HTSUS 8518.22), headsets with microphone (HTSUS 8518.30) and E:\FR\FM\01MRN1.SGM 01MRN1 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 40 / Thursday, March 1, 2007 / Notices hands free speaker kits (HTSUS 8518.90). Duty rates on these inputs range from duty–free to 17.6 percent, ad valorem. FTZ 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 nicad and lithium batteries (duty rates 3.4% and 2.5% ad valorem, respectively). 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 international competitiveness of its Texas facilities. 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.

(C&A), in accordance with 19 CFR 351.214(c), for a new shipper review of the antidumping duty order on canned pineapple fruit (CPF) from Thailand. See Notice of Antidumping Duty Order and Amended Final Determination: Canned Pineapple Fruit from Thailand, 60 FR 36775 (July 18, 1995). C&A identified itself as the producer and exporter of subject merchandise. As required by 19 CFR 351.214(b)(2)(i),(ii), and (iii)(A), C&A certified it did not export CPF to the United States during the period of investigation (POI), and that it has never been affiliated with any exporter or producer that exported CPF during or after the POI. It also submitted documentation establishing the date on which C&A first shipped the subject merchandise to the United States, the volume of that first and any subsequent shipments, and the date of C&A’s first sale to an unaffiliated customer in the United States. C&A states it cannot report the first entry date because the sale was to an unaffiliated customer. Initiation of Review In accordance with section 751(a)(2)(B) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 351.214(d)(1), and based on information on the record, we are initiating a new shipper review for C&A. See Memorandum to the File through Barbara E. Tillman, Director, AD/CVD Operations Office 6, Import Administration from the Team, ‘‘New Shipper Review Initiation Checklist,’’ dated February 21, 2007 on file in the Central Records Unit, room B–099, of the main Commerce building. We intend to issue the preliminary results of this review not later than 180 days after the date on which this review is initiated, and the final results of this review within 90 days after the date on which the preliminary results are issued. Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.214(g)(1)(i)(B), the POR for a new shipper review initiated in the month immediately following the semiannual anniversary month will be the sixmonth period immediately preceding the semiannual anniversary month. Therefore, the POR for this new shipper review is July 1, 2006 through December 31, 2006. Interested parties seeking access to proprietary information in this new shipper review should submit applications for disclosure under E:\FR\FM\01MRN1.SGM 01MRN1
