Foreign-Trade Zone 22—Chicago, IL
Application for Temporary/Interim

(Cell Phone Kitting and Distribution)
Bolingbrook, IL
An application has been submitted to
the Executive Secretary of the ForeignTrade Zones Board (the Board) by the
Illinois International Port District,
grantee of FTZ 22, requesting
temporary/interim manufacturing (T/
IM) authority within FTZ 22 at the LG
Electronics MobileComm USA, Inc.
(LGEMU) facility, located in
Bolingbrook, Illinois. The application
was filed on January 13, 2010.
The LGEMU facility (20 employees,
17 acres, 38.9 million unit capacity is
located at 1251 115th St., Bolingbrook
(Site 12). Under T/IM procedures, the
LGEMU has requested authority to
conduct kitting activity for cell phone
handsets (HTSUS 8517.12 and 8517.62).
Foreign components that would be used
in production (representing 90–95% of
VerDate Nov<24>2008

the value of the finished product)
include: Cell phone batteries; cell phone
chargers and adaptors; headphones;
earphones; microphones; battery doors;
cables; film packing materials; poly
bags; blister packaging; master cartons;
gift boxes; labels; bound instruction
manuals; CD–ROM user guides; blue
tooth units; paper inner trays; holsters;
and, vinyl protective packaging sheets
(duty rate ranges from duty free to
5.8%). T/IM authority could be granted
for a period of up to two years.
Under FTZ procedures, LGEMU
would be able to choose the duty rates
during customs entry procedures that
apply to cell phone mobile handsets
(duty free) for the foreign inputs noted
above for its shipments to the U.S.
market. LGEMU could also realize
logistical benefits through the use of
weekly customs entry procedures.
Customs duties also could possibly be
deferred or reduced on foreign status
production equipment. The request
indicates that the savings from FTZ
procedures would help improve the
plant’s international competitiveness.
In accordance with the Board’s
regulations, Maureen Hinman of the
FTZ Staff is designated examiner to
evaluate and analyze the facts and
information presented in the application
and case record and to report findings
and recommendations pursuant to

receipt is February 26, 2010.

for permanent FTZ manufacturing
authority, which may include additional
products and components. It should be

authority would be docketed separately
and would be processed as a distinct
proceeding. Any party wishing to

Foreign-Trade Zone 50—Long Beach,
California Application for Subzone
Allegro Mfg. Inc. (Cosmetic, Organizer
and Electronic Bags and Accessories)
Commerce, CA
An application has been submitted to
the Foreign-Trade Zones Board (the
Board) by the Port of Long Beach,
grantee of FTZ 50, requesting specialpurpose subzone status for the
warehousing and distribution facility of
Allegro Mfg. Inc. (Allegro), located in
Commerce, California. 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
January 15, 2010.
The Allegro facility (83 employees,
5.8 acres, 14.4 million unit annual
capacity) is located at 7230, 7250 and
7265 Oxford Way, Commerce,
California. The facility is used for the
storage and distribution of cosmetic,
organizer and electronic bags and
accessories (duty rate ranges from dutyfree to 20%).
FTZ procedures could exempt Allegro
from customs duty payments on foreign
products that are re-exported
(approximately two percent of
shipments). On its domestic sales, the
company would be able to defer duty
payments until merchandise is shipped
from the plant and entered for
consumption. FTZ designation would
further allow Allegro to realize logistical
benefits through the use of weekly
customs entry procedures. The request
indicates that the savings from FTZ
procedures would help improve the
facility’s international competitiveness.
In accordance with the Board’s
regulations, Elizabeth Whiteman of the

AD/CVD Petitions). In addition, on both
January 15, and January 19, 2010, we
received comments filed by Lehnardt &
Lehnardt, LLC, on behalf of Downhole
Pipe & Equipment, LP (Downhole Pipe)
and Command Energy Services
International (Command Energy), U.S.
importers of drill pipe from China.
Downhole Pipe and Command Energy
are interested parties per section
771(9)(A) of the Act.
In accordance with section 702(b)(1)
of the Act, petitioners allege that
manufacturers, producers, or exporters
of drill pipe in the PRC receive
countervailable subsidies within the
meaning of section 701 of the Act, and
that such imports are materially
injuring, or threatening material injury
to, an industry in the United States.
The Department finds that petitioners
filed the Petition on behalf of the
domestic industry because they are
interested parties as defined in section
771(9)(C) and (D) of the Act, and
petitioners have demonstrated sufficient
industry support with respect to the
CVD investigation (see ‘‘Determination
of Industry Support for the Petition’’
section below).
Period of Investigation
The proposed period of investigation
(POI) is January 1, 2009, through
December 31, 2009.
Scope of Investigation
The products covered by this
investigation are drill pipe from the
PRC. For a full description of the scope
of the investigation, see the ‘‘Scope of
the Investigation’’ in Appendix I of this
notice.
Comments on Scope of Investigation
During our review of the Petition, we
discussed the scope with petitioners to
ensure that it is an accurate reflection of
the products for which the domestic
industry is seeking relief. Moreover, as
discussed in the preamble to the
Department’s regulations (Antidumping
Duties; Countervailing Duties; Final
Rule, 62 FR 27296, 27323 (May 19,
1997)), we are setting aside a period for
interested parties to raise issues
regarding product coverage. The
Department encourages all interested
parties to submit such comments by
Wednesday, February 10, 2010, twenty
calendar days from the signature date of
this notice. Comments should be
addressed to Import Administration’s
APO/Dockets Unit, Room 1870, U.S.
