Reorganization of Foreign-Trade Zone 126 Under Alternative Site Framework; Reno, NV, 52931-52932 [2010-21573]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 167 / Monday, August 30, 2010 / Notices of the Act, the Department shall use facts otherwise available in reaching the applicable determination. Because Meghmani did not respond to our June 3, 2010, questionnaire, pursuant to sections 776(a)(2)(A) and (B) of the Act, we must rely entirely on facts available. jlentini on DSKJ8SOYB1PROD with NOTICES B. Application of Adverse Inferences for Facts Available In selecting among the facts otherwise available, section 776(b) of the Act provides that, if the Department finds that an interested party has failed to cooperate by not acting to the best of its ability to comply with a request for information, the Department may use an inference adverse to the interests of that party. In addition, the Statement of Administrative Action accompanying the Uruguay Round Agreements Act, H.R. Rep. 103–316, Vol. 1, 103d Cong. (1994), reprinted in 1994 U.S.C.C.A.N. 4040 (SAA), establishes that the Department may employ an adverse inference ‘‘to ensure that the party does not obtain a more favorable result by failing to cooperate than if it had cooperated fully.’’ See SAA at 870. The SAA also instructs the Department to consider, in employing adverse inferences, ‘‘the extent to which a party may benefit from its own lack of cooperation.’’ Id. Moreover, ‘‘affirmative evidence of bad faith on the part of a respondent is not required before the Department may make an adverse inference.’’ See Antidumping Duties; Countervailing Duties, Final Rule, 62 FR 27296, 27340 (May 19, 1997). We find that, by failing completely to respond to our questionnaire in the changed-circumstances review concerning its name change, Meghmani withheld requested information and thus failed to cooperate to the best of its ability and, therefore, we may use an inference that is adverse to the interests of Meghmani. C. Selection of Information Used as Facts Available Where the Department applies an adverse inference because a respondent failed to cooperate by not acting to the best of its ability to comply with a request for information, section 776(b) of the Act authorizes the Department to rely on information derived from the petition, a final determination, a previous administrative review, or other information placed on the record. See also 19 CFR 351.308(c) and the SAA at 870. Because we are making an adverse inference with regard to Meghmani based on the most recent information at our disposal, we preliminarily find that VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:28 Aug 27, 2010 Jkt 220001 Meghmani is the successor-in-interest to Alpanil. In making the adverse inference, we have relied on the information placed on the record by Meghmani to determine that Meghmani is the successor-in-interest to Alpanil. See section 776(b) of the Act.2 If we were to find that Meghmani is not the successor-in-interest to Alpanil, that would ensure that Meghmani would ‘‘obtain a more favorable result by failing to cooperate’’ because the all-others rate of 27.48 percent for the antidumping duty order would apply to Meghmani which is significantly lower than Alpanil’s current rate of 58.90 percent. Accordingly, we preliminarily determine that Meghmani is the successor-in-interest to Alpanil and will assign to Meghmani the same treatment as Alpanil with respect to the antidumping duty proceeding. Public Comment Case briefs from interested parties may be submitted not later than 15 days after the date of publication of this notice of preliminary results of changedcircumstances review. See 19 CFR 351.309(c)(1)(ii). Rebuttal briefs from interested parties, limited to the issues raised in the case briefs, may be submitted not later than five days after the time limit for filing the case briefs or comments. Parties who submit case briefs or rebuttal briefs in this proceeding are requested to submit with each argument a statement of the issue, a summary of the arguments not exceeding five pages, and a table of statutes, regulations, and cases cited. Interested parties who wish to request a hearing or to participate in a hearing if a hearing is requested must submit a written request to the Assistant Secretary for Import Administration within 15 days of the date of publication of this notice. See 19 CFR 351.310(c). Such requests should contain the following information: (1) The party’s name, address, and telephone number; (2) the number of participants; (3) a list of issues to be discussed. Issues raised in the hearing will be limited to those discussed in the case briefs. If requested, any hearing will be held two days after the scheduled date for submission of rebuttal briefs. The Department will publish in the Federal Register a notice of the final results of this changed-circumstances review, including the results of its analysis of issues raised in any written briefs or at the hearing if requested. 2 Because the information upon which we are relying was obtained in the course of the review and is not secondary information, corrobation of this information is not necessary.

[Order No. 1703]


Reorganization of Foreign-Trade Zone 126 Under Alternative Site 
Framework; Reno, NV

    Pursuant to its authority under the Foreign-Trade Zones Act of June 
18, 1934, as amended (19 U.S.C. 81a-81u), the Foreign-Trade Zones Board 
(the Board) adopts the following Order:

    Whereas, the Board adopted the alternative site framework (ASF) in 
December 2008 (74 FR 1170, 01/12/09; correction 74 FR 3987, 01/22/09) 
as an option for the establishment or reorganization of general-purpose 
zones;
    Whereas, the Economic Development Authority of Western Nevada, 
grantee of Foreign-Trade Zone 126, submitted an application to the 
Board (FTZ Docket 26-2010, filed 4/19/2010) for authority to reorganize 
under the ASF with a service area of Carson City, Douglas and Storey 
Counties as well as portions of Churchill, Lyon and Washoe Counties, 
Nevada, in and adjacent to the Reno Customs and Border Protection port 
of entry, FTZ 126's existing Sites 1, 4-14 and 17 would be categorized 
as magnet sites, existing Sites 2, 3, 15 and 16 would be categorized as 
usage-driven sites, and the grantee proposes two additional usage-
driven sites (Sites 18 and 19);
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment was given in the Federal 
Register (75 FR 21594-21595, 4/26/10) and the application has been 
processed pursuant to the FTZ Act and the Board's regulations; and,
    Whereas, the Board adopts the findings and recommendations of the 
examiner's report, and finds that the

that the proposal is in the public interest;
    Now, therefore, the Board hereby orders:
    The application to reorganize FTZ 126 under the alternative site 
framework is approved, subject to the FTZ Act and the Board's 
regulations, including Section 400.28, to the Board's standard 2,000-
acre activation limit for the overall general-purpose zone project, to 
a five-year ASF sunset provision for magnet sites that would terminate 
authority for Sites 1, 4, 5, 7-14 and 17 if not activated by August 31, 
2015, and to a three-year ASF sunset provision for usage-driven sites 
that would terminate authority for Sites 2, 3, 15-16 and 18-19 if no 
foreign-status merchandise is admitted for a bona fide customs purpose 
by August 31, 2013.
