The grantee’s proposed service area
under the ASF would be Alamance,
Caswell, Davidson, Davie, Forsyth,
Guilford, Montgomery, Randolph,
Rockingham, Stokes, Surry and Yadkin
Counties, 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/adjacent
to the Winston-Salem Customs and
Border Protection port of entry.
The applicant is requesting authority
to reorganize its existing zone project
under the ASF as follows: To renumber
parcel 2 of Site 2 as Site 16; to renumber
parcel 3 of Site 2 as Site 17; to renumber
parcel 2 of Site 3 as Site 18; to renumber
parcel 2 of Site 8 as Site 19; to renumber
parcel A of Site 11 as Site 20; to
renumber parcel C of Site 11 as Site 21;
and to renumber parcel D of Site 11 as
Site 22. Sites 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10,
11, 16, 17, 18, 20, 21 and 22 would
become magnet sites, and Sites 8, 12, 13,
14, 15 and 19 would become usagedriven 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 modified
magnet Site 2 would be so exempted.
Because the ASF only pertains to
establishing or reorganizing a generalpurpose zone, the application would
have no impact on FTZ 230’s authorized
subzones.
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.

their receipt is March 19, 2012. Rebuttal

FTZ procedures could exempt CNH
from customs duty payments on the

production. The company anticipates
that 30 to 45 percent of the facilities’
shipments will be exported. On its
domestic sales, CNH would be able to
choose the duty rates during customs

rate range, duty-free to 4%) for the
foreign inputs noted above.

Extension of Time Limit of Preliminary
Results
Pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘the
Act’’), the Department shall make a
preliminary determination in an
administrative review of an
antidumping duty order within 245
days after the last day of the anniversary
month of the date of publication of the
order. The Act further provides,
however, that the Department may
extend that 245-day period to 365 days
if it determines it is not practicable to
complete the review within the
foregoing time period. We determine
that completion of the preliminary
results of this review within the 245-day
period is not practicable because the
Department requires additional time to
analyze information pertaining to the
respondents’ sales practices, factors of
production, and to issue supplemental
questionnaires and review the
responses. Therefore, we require
additional time to complete these
preliminary results. As a result, in
accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of
the Act, the Department is extending the
time period for completion of the
preliminary results of this review by 90
days until April 30, 2012.
This notice is published in
accordance with sections 751(a)(3)(A)
and 777(i)(1) of the Act.
