(MPSA), in Pooler, Georgia. 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 February 23, 2012. The MPSA facility (‘‘Savannah Machinery Works,’’ 175 employees, 119 acres) is located at 1000 Pine Meadow Drive within the Pooler Megasite (Site 12) in Pooler (Chatham County), Georgia. In 2011, the FTZ Board approved a request submitted by the Savannah Airport Commission on behalf of MPSA for authority to manufacture and repair steam and natural gas power generation turbine components (combustor baskets, transition pieces, and rotors) for export and the domestic market (Board Order 1757, 76 FR 28418, 5–17–2011). The current application involves an expansion of MPSA’s existing scope of manufacturing authority to include additional finished products—steam and natural gas power generation turbines (up to 24 turbines per year). New components and materials sourced from abroad (representing 40% of the value of the finished turbines) include: Rubber o-rings and seals, articles of steel (plates, flanges, expansion joints, covers), fasteners, compressors, bearing housings, metal gaskets, mechanical seals and rings, actuators, thermocouple assemblies, vibration sensors, and automated controllers (duty rate ranges from free to 6.2%). FTZ procedures could exempt MPSA from customs duty payments on the additional foreign components used in export production. The company anticipates that up to 15 percent of the plant’s turbine production will be exported. On its domestic sales, MPSA would be able to choose the duty rates during customs entry procedures that apply to steam and gas power generation turbines (duty rates: 2.5, 6.7%) for the additional foreign inputs E:\FR\FM\02MRN1.SGM 02MRN1 12800 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 42 / Friday, March 2, 2012 / Notices noted above.

SUMMARY: As a result of the determinations by the International Trade Commission (the ‘‘ITC’’) that revocation of the antidumping duty (‘‘AD’’) and countervailing duty (‘‘CVD’’) orders on fresh and chilled Atlantic salmon (‘‘salmon’’) from Norway would not be likely to lead to the continuation or recurrence of material injury to an industry in the United States, the Department of tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES AGENCY: VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:01 Mar 01, 2012 Jkt 226001 Commerce (the ‘‘Department’’) is revoking these AD and CVD orders.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background On January 3, 2011, the Department initiated and the ITC instituted sunset reviews of the AD and CVD orders on salmon from Norway, pursuant to sections 751(c) and 752 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the ‘‘Act’’), respectively. See Initiation of Five-Year (‘‘Sunset’’) Review, 76 FR 89 (January 3, 2011); Fresh and Chilled Atlantic Salmon From Norway, 76 FR 166 (January 3, 2011). As a result of its reviews, the Department found that revocation of the AD order would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping and that revocation of the CVD order would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of countervailable subsidization, and notified the ITC of the margins of dumping and the subsidy rates likely to prevail were the orders revoked. See Fresh and Chilled Atlantic Salmon From Norway: Final Results of Full Third Sunset Review of Antidumping Duty Order, 76 FR 70409 (November 14, 2011), and Fresh and Chilled Atlantic Salmon From Norway: Final Results of Full Third Sunset Review of Countervailing Duty Order, 76 FR 70411 (November 14, 2011). On February 23, 2012, the ITC published its determination, pursuant to section 751(c) of the Act, that revocation of the AD and CVD orders on salmon from Norway would not be likely to lead to the continuation or recurrence of material injury within a reasonably foreseeable time. See Fresh and Chilled Atlantic Salmon from Norway, 77 FR 10772 (February 23, 2012) and USITC Publication 4303 (February 2012), entitled Fresh and Chilled Atlantic Salmon from Norway (Inv. Nos. 701– TA–302 and 731–TA–454 (Third Review)). Scope of the Orders The product covered by the orders is the species Atlantic salmon (Salmo Salar) marketed as specified herein; the order excludes all other species of salmon: Danube salmon, Chinook (also called ‘‘king’’ or ‘‘quinnat’’), Coho (‘‘silver’’), Sockeye (‘‘redfish’’ or ‘‘blueback’’), Humpback (‘‘pink’’) and PO 00000 Frm 00009 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Chum (‘‘dog’’).1 Atlantic salmon is a whole or nearly-whole fish, typically (but not necessarily) marketed gutted, bled, and cleaned, with the head on. The subject merchandise is typically packed in fresh-water ice (‘‘chilled’’). Excluded from the subject merchandise are fillets, steaks and other cuts of Atlantic salmon. Also excluded are frozen, canned, smoked or otherwise processed Atlantic salmon. Atlantic salmon is currently provided for under Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (‘‘HTSUS’’) subheadings 0302.12.0003 and 0302.12.0004. The HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and customs purposes. The written description remains dispositive as to the scope of the product coverage. Determination As a result of the determinations by the ITC that revocation of these AD and CVD orders would not be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury to an industry in the United States, pursuant to section 751(d)(2) of the Act, the Department is revoking the AD and CVD orders on salmon from Norway. Pursuant to section 751(d)(2) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.222(i)(2)(i), the effective date of revocation is February 13, 2011 (i.e., the fifth anniversary of the effective date of publication in the Federal Register of the continuation of these orders).2 The Department will notify U.S. Customs and Border Protection, 15 days after publication of this notice, to terminate suspension of liquidation and collection of cash deposits on entries of the subject merchandise, entered or withdrawn from warehouse, on or after February 13, 2011. Entries of subject merchandise prior to the effective date of revocation will continue to be subject to suspension of liquidation and antidumping and/or countervailing duty deposit requirements. This notice also serves as the only reminder to parties subject to administrative protective order (‘‘APO’’) of their responsibility concerning the return/destruction or conversion to judicial protective order of proprietary information disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Failure to comply is a violation of the APO which may be subject to sanctions. 1 On August 5, 2009, the Department made a final scope ruling determining that whole salmon steaks are within the scope of the order. See Notice of Scope Rulings, 75 FR 14138 (March 24, 2010). 2 See Continuation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Orders: Fresh and Chilled Atlantic Salmon from Norway, 71 FR 7512 (February 13, 2006).

Turbines) Pooler, GA

    An application has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones Board 
(the Board) by the Savannah Airport Commission, grantee of FTZ 104, 
requesting an expansion of the scope of manufacturing authority 
approved within Site 12 of FTZ 104, on behalf of Mitsubishi Power 
Systems Americas, Inc. (MPSA), in Pooler, Georgia. 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 February 23, 2012.
    The MPSA facility (``Savannah Machinery Works,'' 175 employees, 119 
acres) is located at 1000 Pine Meadow Drive within the Pooler Megasite 
(Site 12) in Pooler (Chatham County), Georgia. In 2011, the FTZ Board 
approved a request submitted by the Savannah Airport Commission on 
behalf of MPSA for authority to manufacture and repair steam and 
natural gas power generation turbine components (combustor baskets, 
transition pieces, and rotors) for export and the domestic market 
(Board Order 1757, 76 FR 28418, 5-17-2011).
    The current application involves an expansion of MPSA's existing 
scope of manufacturing authority to include additional finished 
products--steam and natural gas power generation turbines (up to 24 
turbines per year). New components and materials sourced from abroad 
(representing 40% of the value of the finished turbines) include: 
Rubber o-rings and seals, articles of steel (plates, flanges, expansion 
joints, covers), fasteners, compressors, bearing housings, metal 
gaskets, mechanical seals and rings, actuators, thermocouple 
assemblies, vibration sensors, and automated controllers (duty rate 
ranges from free to 6.2%).
    FTZ procedures could exempt MPSA from customs duty payments on the 
additional foreign components used in export production. The company 
anticipates that up to 15 percent of the plant's turbine production 
will be exported. On its domestic sales, MPSA would be able to choose 
the duty rates during customs entry procedures that apply to steam and 
gas power generation turbines (duty rates: 2.5, 6.7%) for the
