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 March 1, 2012. FTZ 189 was approved by the Board on January 15, 1993 (Board Order 616, 58 FR 6614, 2/1/1993). The current zone project includes the following sites: Site 1 (8 acres)—44th Street and Clay Avenue, Wyoming, Kent County; Site 2 (18 acres)—1920 Lakeshore Drive, Muskegon, Muskegon County; Site 3 (64 acres)—5353 52nd Street, Cascade Township, Kent County; Site 4 (40 acres)—500 Mart Street, Muskegon, VerDate Mar<15>2010 15:20 Mar 07, 2012 Jkt 226001 Muskegon County; Site 5 (5 acres)—449 Howard Avenue, Holland Township, Ottawa County; Site 6 (80 acres)—48th & Thornapple River Drive, Cascade Township, Kent County; Site 7 (1.15 acres)—1210 & 1218 East Pontaluna Road, Norton Shores, Muskegon County; Site 8 (15 acres)—900 Hall Street SW., Grand Rapids, Kent County; and Site 9 (6 acres)—2900 Dixie Street, Grandville, Kent County. The grantee’s proposed service area under the ASF would be Kent, Ottawa and Muskegon Counties, Michigan, 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 Grand Rapids Customs and Border Protection port of entry. The applicant is requesting authority to reorganize its existing zone project to include all of the existing sites 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 9 be so exempted. No usage-driven sites are being requested at this time. Because the ASF only pertains to establishing or reorganizing a general-purpose zone, the application would have no impact on FTZ 189’s authorized subzones. In accordance with the Board’s regulations, Elizabeth Whiteman 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. Public comment is invited from interested parties. Submissions (original and 3 copies) shall be addressed to the Board’s Executive Secretary at the address below. The closing period for their receipt is May 7, 2012. Rebuttal comments in response to material submitted during the foregoing period may be submitted during the subsequent 15-day period to May 22, 2012.

SUMMARY: As a result of the determination by the Department of Commerce (‘‘the Department’’) that termination of the Agreement Suspending the Antidumping Investigation on Uranium from the Russian Federation (‘‘Suspension Agreement’’) would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping and the determination by the International Trade Commission (‘‘ITC’’) that termination of the suspended antidumping duty investigation on uranium from the Russian Federation (‘‘Russia’’) would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury to an industry in the United States within a reasonably foreseeable time, the Department is publishing this notice of continuation of the Suspension Agreement on uranium from Russia.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: AGENCY: Background On July 1, 2011, the ITC instituted, and the Department initiated, a sunset review of the Suspension Agreement, pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘the Act’’). See ITC Investigation Nos. 731–TA– 539–C (Third Review), Uranium from Russia Russia; Institution of a Five-Year Review Concerning the Suspended Investigation on Uranium From Russia, 76 FR 38694 (July 1, 2011) and Initiation of Five-year (Sunset) Reviews, 76 FR 38613 (July 1, 2011). As a result of its review, pursuant to sections 751(c) and 752 of the Act, the Department determined that termination of the Suspension Agreement would likely lead to a continuation or recurrence of dumping and notified the ITC of the magnitude of the margin likely to prevail should the Suspension Agreement be terminated. See Uranium From the Russian Federation; Final PO 00000 Frm 00003 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 14001 Results of Expedited Sunset Review of the Suspension, 76 FR 68404 (November 4, 2011). On March 2, 2012, pursuant to section 751(c) of the Act, the ITC published its determination that termination of the suspended investigation on uranium from the Russian Federation would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury to an industry in the United States within a reasonably foreseeable time. See Uranium from Russia, 77 FR 12880 (March 2, 2012) and USITC Publication 4307 (February 2012), entitled ‘‘Uranium From Russia, Investigation No. 731–TA–539–C (Third Review)’’. Therefore, pursuant to Section 351.218(f)(4) of the Department’s regulations, the Department is publishing this notice of the continuation of the Suspension Agreement. Scope The merchandise covered by this Suspension Agreement (Section III, ‘‘Product Coverage’’) includes the following products from Russia: Natural uranium in the form of uranium ores and concentrates; natural uranium metal and natural uranium compounds; alloys, dispersions (including cermets), ceramic products, and mixtures containing natural uranium or natural uranium compounds; uranium enriched in U235 and its compounds; alloys, dispersions (including cermets), ceramic products, and mixtures containing uranium enriched in U235 or compounds of uranium enriched in U235; and any other forms of uranium within the same class or kind. Uranium ore from Russia that is milled into U3O8 and/or converted into UF6 in another country prior to direct and/or indirect importation into the United States is considered uranium from Russia and is subject to the terms of this Suspension Agreement. For purposes of this Suspension Agreement, uranium enriched in U235 or compounds of uranium enriched in U235 in Russia are covered by this Suspension Agreement, regardless of their subsequent modification or blending. Uranium enriched in U235 in another country prior to direct and/or indirect importation into the United States is not considered uranium from Russia and is not subject to the terms of this Suspension Agreement. Continuation As a result of the determinations by the Department and the ITC that termination of the suspended investigation would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence, respectively, E:\FR\FM\08MRN1.SGM 08MRN1
