Abbott is also requesting to include within its manufacturing scope a broad range of inputs and pharmaceutical final products that it may produce under FTZ procedures in the future. (New major activity in these inputs/products would require review by the FTZ Board.) The duty rates for these inputs and final products range from duty-free to 20 percent. The specific input and product categories are listed in the application, which is available in the ‘‘Reading Room’’ section of the Board’s Web site (see below). Zone procedures could exempt Abbott from customs duty payments on foreign materials used in production for export (some 60 percent of shipments). On domestic shipments, the company would be able to defer customs duty payments on foreign materials, and to choose the duty rate that applies to the finished products (duty-free to 4.2%) instead of the rates otherwise applicable to the foreign input materials (duty-free to 10.7%). Abbott also expects to realize additional savings through the use of weekly entry procedures. The application indicates that the savings from zone procedures would help improve the plant’s international competitiveness. In accordance with the Board’s regulations, Kathleen Boyce of the FTZ Staff is 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 listed below. The closing period for their receipt is April 24, 2009. Rebuttal comments in response to material submitted during the foregoing period may be submitted during the subsequent 15-day period (to May 11, 2009). A copy of the application will be available for public inspection at the Office of the Executive Secretary, Foreign-Trade Zones Board, Room 2111, U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20230–0002, and in the ‘‘Reading Room’’ section of the Board’s Web site, which is accessible via www.trade.gov/ ftz.

On January 13, 2009, Ajubesteel withdrew its request; therefore, we are rescinding this new shipper review. EFFECTIVE DATES: February 23, 2009.

The Department found that Ajubesteel’s request for review met all of the regulatory requirements set forth in 19 CFR 351.214(b) and initiated an antidumping duty new shipper review. See Circular Welded Non–Alloy Steel Pipe from the Republic of Korea: Initiation of New Shipper Antidumping Duty Review, 73 FR 80365 (December 31, 2008). On January 6, 2009, the Department issued a questionnaire to Ajubesteel. On January 13, 2009, Ajubesteel withdrew its request for a new shipper review.
