DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
Foreign–Trade Zones Board
Docket 6–2007
Foreign–Trade Zone 196 - Fort Worth,
Texas, Request for Manufacturing
Authority, Motorola, Inc., (Mobile
Phone Kitting)
An application has been submitted to
the Foreign–Trade Zones Board (the
Board) by the Alliance Corridor, Inc.,
grantee of FTZ 196, requesting authority
on behalf of Motorola, Inc. (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.
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 April 30, 2007. Rebuttal
comments in response to material
submitted during the foregoing period
may be submitted during the subsequent
15-day period to May 15, 2007.
A copy of the application and
accompanying exhibits will be available
for public inspection at each of the
following locations: U.S. Department of
Commerce Export Assistance Center,
808 Throckmorton Street, Fort Worth,

Canned Pineapple Fruit from Thailand:
Initiation of New Shipper Antidumping
Duty Review
AGENCY:

Background
The Department of Commerce (the
Department) received a timely request
from C & A Products Co., Ltd. (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
