[Docket 64–2011]
Foreign-Trade Zone 272—Counties of
Lehigh and Northampton, PA;
Application for Reorganization/
Expansion Under Alternative Site
Framework
An application has been submitted to
the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) Board
(the Board) by the Lehigh Valley
Economic Development Corporation,
grantee of FTZ 272, requesting authority
to reorganize and expand the zone
under the alternative site framework
(ASF) adopted by the Board (74 FR
1170, 1/12/09 (correction 74 FR 3987, 1/
22/09); 75 FR 71069–71070, 11/22/10).
The ASF is an option for grantees for the
establishment or reorganization of
general-purpose zones and can permit
significantly greater flexibility in the
designation of new ‘‘usage-driven’’ FTZ
sites for operators/users located within
a grantee’s ‘‘service area’’ in the context

Frm 00014
Fmt 4703

of the Board’s standard 2,000-acre
activation limit for a general-purpose
zone project. The application was
submitted pursuant to 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 October 13, 2011.
FTZ 272 was approved by the Board
on April 5, 2007 (Board Order 1502, 72
FR 18960, 04/16/07), and expanded on
February 13, 2009 (Board Order 1605,
74 FR 8903, 02/13/09), and on May 13,
2010 (Board Order 1679, 75 FR 29975–
29976, 05/28/10).
The current zone project includes the
following sites: Site 1 (727 acres)—
Lehigh Valley Industrial Park VII at
Bethlehem Commerce Center, 1805 E,
4th St., Bethlehem; Site 2 (96 acres)—
Arcadia East Industrial Park (Lot 3),
Route 512 and Silver Crest Rd., East
Allen Township; Site 3 (83 acres)—
Arcadia West Industrial Park (Lots 2, 5,
6 and 7), I–78 and Route 863,
Weisenburg Township; Site 4 (226
acres)—West Hills Business Center, I–78
and Route 863, Weisenburg Township;
Site 5 (399 acres)—Liberty Business
Center, Industrial Blvd. and Boulder Dr.,
Breinigsville; Site 6 (183 acres)—Lehigh
Valley West Corporate Center, Nestle
Way and Schantz Rd., Breinigsville; Site
7 (213 acres)—LogistiCenter, 4950
Hanoverville Rd., Bethlehem; Site 8
(163 acres)—ProLogis Park 33, 3819 and
3850 ProLogis Parkway, Lower
Nazareth; and, Site 9 (442 acres)—
Majestic Bethlehem Center, 3001
Commerce Blvd., Bethlehem.
The grantee’s proposed service area
under the ASF would be the Counties of
Lehigh and Northampton, Pennsylvania,
as described in the application. If
approved, the grantee would be able to
serve sites throughout the service area
based on companies’ needs for FTZ
designation. The proposed service area
is within and adjacent to the Lehigh
Valley Customs and Border Protection
port of entry.
The applicant is requesting authority
to reorganize its existing zone project to
remove Sites 2–4 and to include existing
sites 1, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 as magnet sites.
The ASF allows for the possible
exemption of one magnet site from the
‘‘sunset’’ time limits that generally
apply to sites under the ASF, and the
applicant proposes that Site 1 be so
exempted. The applicant is also
requesting approval of the following
initial ‘‘usage-driven’’ site: Proposed
Site 10 (21 acres)—Sigma Aldrich
Chemical Company, 6950 Ambassador
Drive, Allentown, Lehigh County,
Pennsylvania. Because the ASF only
pertains to establishing or reorganizing
a general-purpose zone, the application

would have no impact on FTZ 272’s
authorized subzone.
In accordance with the Board’s
regulations, Kathleen Boyce 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 to the Board.

Administrative Review

SUMMARY: In response to requests from
interested parties, the Department of
Commerce (the Department) is
conducting an administrative review of
the antidumping duty order on fresh
garlic from the People’s Republic of
China (PRC) covering the period of
review (POR) of November 1, 2009,
through October 31, 2010. The
Department initiated this review for 112
producers/exporters (companies).1 The

Department is issuing partial
preliminary results for the PRC-wide
entity only, which includes the seven
companies listed in Appendix III. Based
on timely withdrawals of requests for
review, the Department is now
rescinding the review with respect to 84
companies which are listed in
Appendix I. The Department also
preliminarily determines that a
rescission of the administrative review
is warranted with respect to 14
companies which each timely submitted
a ‘‘no shipment’’ certification. The
intent to rescind is applicable to the
companies listed in Appendix II. In
addition, there are seven companies
which the Department determines are
subject to the PRC-wide entity rate and
which are subject to these partial
preliminary results. These seven
companies are listed in Appendix III.
Accordingly, 21 companies are subject
to these partial preliminary results and
the intent to rescind the administrative
review and are listed in Appendix IV.
The Department is issuing these
partial preliminary results based on
unique circumstances that have raised
concerns with respect to enforcement of
the antidumping duty order.
Specifically, there are two mandatory
respondents who are not participating
in this review. Because these two
companies have failed to establish their
eligibility for a separate rate, the
Department preliminarily determines
that each of these companies are part of
the PRC-wide entity. Thus, each
company’s current cash deposit rate is
much lower than the rate preliminarily
determined to be applicable to their
entries. While such circumstances do
not normally warrant issuance of partial
preliminary results, there are unique
and serious enforcement concerns that
warrant issuing preliminary results for
certain companies at this time. A more
detailed explanation of the disposition
of each of the above companies is set
forth below.2 The remaining seven
companies under review will be covered
in a separate partial preliminary results
of review, and are listed in Appendix V.
Dadi is its affiliated producer. As such, we will
address Zhenghou Dadi in the context of our
analysis of Shenzhen Xinboda. We do not include
Zhengzhou Dadi in our company counts in this
notice.
2 The specific facts underlying the Department’s
decision for issuing these partial preliminary results
are business proprietary. See Memorandum to The
File, Through Barbara E. Tillman, Director, AD/CVD
Operations, Office 6, Import Administration, and

Review for Fresh Garlic from the People’s Republic
of China, dated concurrently with this notice.

The preliminary results of review for
these seven remaining companies are
currently due November 10, 2011.
The Department invites interested
parties to comment on these partial
preliminary results for the PRC-wide
entity and on our intent to rescind the
administrative review of the 14
companies which certified ‘‘no
shipments.’’ If the partial preliminary
results for the PRC-wide entity are
adopted in the partial final results, the
Department will instruct U.S. Customs
and Border Protection (CBP) to assess
antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries of subject merchandise during
the POR.

Foreign-Trade Zone 272--Counties of Lehigh and Northampton, PA;
Application for Reorganization/Expansion Under Alternative Site
Framework
An application has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ)
Board (the Board) by the Lehigh Valley Economic Development
Corporation, grantee of FTZ 272, requesting authority to reorganize and
expand the zone under the alternative site framework (ASF) adopted by
the Board (74 FR 1170, 1/12/09 (correction 74 FR 3987, 1/22/09); 75 FR
71069-71070, 11/22/10). The ASF is an option for grantees for the
establishment or reorganization of general-purpose zones and can permit
significantly greater flexibility in the designation of new ``usage-
driven'' FTZ sites for operators/users located within a grantee's
``service area'' in the context of the Board's standard 2,000-acre
activation limit for a general-purpose zone project. The application
was submitted pursuant to 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 October 13, 2011.
FTZ 272 was approved by the Board on April 5, 2007 (Board Order
1502, 72 FR 18960, 04/16/07), and expanded on February 13, 2009 (Board
Order 1605, 74 FR 8903, 02/13/09), and on May 13, 2010 (Board Order
1679, 75 FR 29975-29976, 05/28/10).
The current zone project includes the following sites: Site 1 (727
acres)--Lehigh Valley Industrial Park VII at Bethlehem Commerce Center,
1805 E, 4th St., Bethlehem; Site 2 (96 acres)--Arcadia East Industrial
Park (Lot 3), Route 512 and Silver Crest Rd., East Allen Township; Site
3 (83 acres)--Arcadia West Industrial Park (Lots 2, 5, 6 and 7), I-78
and Route 863, Weisenburg Township; Site 4 (226 acres)--West Hills
Business Center, I-78 and Route 863, Weisenburg Township; Site 5 (399
acres)--Liberty Business Center, Industrial Blvd. and Boulder Dr.,
Breinigsville; Site 6 (183 acres)--Lehigh Valley West Corporate Center,
Nestle Way and Schantz Rd., Breinigsville; Site 7 (213 acres)--
LogistiCenter, 4950 Hanoverville Rd., Bethlehem; Site 8 (163 acres)--
ProLogis Park 33, 3819 and 3850 ProLogis Parkway, Lower Nazareth; and,
Site 9 (442 acres)--Majestic Bethlehem Center, 3001 Commerce Blvd.,
Bethlehem.
The grantee's proposed service area under the ASF would be the
Counties of Lehigh and Northampton, Pennsylvania, as described in the
application. If approved, the grantee would be able to serve sites
throughout the service area based on companies' needs for FTZ
designation. The proposed service area is within and adjacent to the
Lehigh Valley Customs and Border Protection port of entry.
The applicant is requesting authority to reorganize its existing
zone project to remove Sites 2-4 and to include existing sites 1, 5, 6,
7, 8, and 9 as magnet sites. The ASF allows for the possible exemption
of one magnet site from the ``sunset'' time limits that generally apply
to sites under the ASF, and the applicant proposes that Site 1 be so
exempted. The applicant is also requesting approval of the following
initial ``usage-driven'' site: Proposed Site 10 (21 acres)--Sigma
Aldrich Chemical Company, 6950 Ambassador Drive, Allentown, Lehigh
County, Pennsylvania. Because the ASF only pertains to establishing or
reorganizing a general-purpose zone, the application
[[Page 65172]]
would have no impact on FTZ 272's authorized subzone.
In accordance with the Board's regulations, Kathleen Boyce 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 to the Board.
