(Oil and Gas Field Services Equipment), Conroe, Texas An application has been submitted to the Foreign–Trade Zones Board (the Board) by the City of Conroe, Texas, grantee of FTZ 265, requesting special– purpose subzone status for the oil and gas field services equipment facility of Sondex, L.P. (Sondex), located in Conroe, Texas. The application was submitted pursuant to the provisions of the FTZ Act, as amended (19 U.S.C. 81a–81u), and the regulations of the Board (15 CFR Part 400). It was formally filed on February 21, 2008. The proposed subzone would include Sondex=s warehousing facility (20 employees, 20,000 sq. ft., 10 acres) at a site in Conroe, Texas, located at 2418 North Frazier Street. The facility is used for the warehousing, distribution, testing and repair of foreign–origin and domestic downhole–wireline equipment and measuring–while- drilling equipment and parts (duty rates range from duty–free to 2.5 percent) for the U.S. market and export. FTZ procedures would be utilized to support Sondex=s distribution activity that competes with facilities located abroad. FTZ procedures would exempt Sondex from Customs duty payments on foreign products that are re–exported. Some twenty percent of the facility’s shipments are exported. On domestic sales, the company would be able to defer payments until merchandise is shipped from the facility and entered for U.S. consumption. Sondex also plans to realize logistical benefits through the use of weekly customs entry procedures. The application indicates that all of the above–cited 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 3 copies) shall be addressed to the Board’s Executive Secretary at the address below.

See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or Suspended Investigation; Opportunity to Request Administrative Review, 72 FR 30542 (June 1, 2007). On June 28, 2007, Flowline Division of Markovitz Enterprises, Inc. (‘‘Flowline Division’’), Gerlin, Inc., Shaw Alloy Piping Products, Inc., and Taylor Forge Stainless, Inc. (collectively, ‘‘petitioners’’) requested an antidumping duty administrative review for sales of SSBWPF from Taiwan produced by Ta Chen Stainless Pipe Co., Ltd.

On June 28, 2007, Ta Chen also requested an administrative review of its sales to the United States during the PO 00000 Frm 00009 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 12375 POR. On July 26, 2007, the Department published the notice initiating this administrative review.
