Foreign-Trade Zones Board
[Docket 28–2012]
srobinson on DSK4SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Foreign-Trade Zone 18—San Jose, CA
Application for Reorganization Under
Alternative Site Framework
An application has been submitted to
the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) Board
(the Board) by the City of San Jose,
grantee of FTZ 18, requesting authority
to reorganize the zone under the
alternative site framework (ASF)
adopted by the Board (74 FR 1170, 1/12/
2009 (correction 74 FR 3987, 1/22/
2009); 75 FR 71069–71070, 11/22/2010).
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 April 4, 2012.
FTZ 18 was approved by the Board on
November 27, 1974 (Board Order 103,
39 FR 42031, 12/04/1974), reorganized
on October 13, 1983 (Board Order 228,
48 FR 48486, 10/19/1983, and relocated
on April 3, 1985 (Board Order 293, 50
FR 15206, 04/17/1985).
VerDate Mar<15>2010
16:26 Apr 09, 2012
Jkt 226001
The current zone project includes the
following site: Site 1 (7.5 acres)—2055
South Street South, Suite A, San Jose.
The grantee’s proposed service area
under the ASF would be the City of San
Jose, California, 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 the San
Jose U.S. Customs and Border Protection
port of entry.
The applicant is requesting authority
to reorganize its existing zone project to
include its existing site as a ‘‘magnet’’
site. 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 18’s authorized subzones.
In accordance with the Board’s
regulations, Christopher Kemp 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 June 11, 2012. Rebuttal
comments in response to material
submitted during the foregoing period
may be submitted during the subsequent
15-day period to June 25, 2012.
A copy of the application will be
available for public inspection at the
Office of the Executive Secretary,
Foreign-Trade Zones Board, Room 2111,
U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401

srobinson on DSK4SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Background
On January 13, 2012, the Department
of Commerce (the Department)
published the preliminary results of the
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on certain cutto-length carbon-quality steel plate
products (CTL plate) from the Republic
of Korea (Korea).1
We invited interested parties to
comment on the Preliminary Results. On
February 13, 2012, we received a case
brief from Dongkuk Steel Mill Co., Ltd.
(DSM). On February 21, 2012, we
received a rebuttal brief from Nucor
Corporation.
Scope of the Order
The products covered by the
antidumping duty order are certain hotrolled carbon-quality steel: (1) Universal
mill plates (i.e., flat-rolled products
rolled on four faces or in a closed box
pass, of a width exceeding 150 mm but
not exceeding 1250 mm, and of a
nominal or actual thickness of not less
than 4 mm, which are cut-to length (not
in coils) and without patterns in relief),
of iron or non-alloy quality steel; and (2)
flat-rolled products, hot-rolled, of a
nominal or actual thickness of 4.75 mm
or more and of a width which exceeds
150 mm and measures at least twice the
thickness, and which are cut-to-length
(not in coils). Steel products included in
the scope of the order are of rectangular,
square, circular, or other shape and of
rectangular or non-rectangular cross
section where such non-rectangular
cross-section is achieved subsequent to
the rolling process (i.e., products which
have been ‘‘worked after rolling’’)—for
example, products which have been
beveled or rounded at the edges. Steel
products that meet the noted physical
characteristics that are painted,
varnished, or coated with plastic or
other non-metallic substances are
included within the scope. Also,

specifically included in the scope of the
order are high strength, low alloy
(HSLA) steels. HSLA steels are
recognized as steels with micro-alloying
levels of elements such as chromium,
copper, niobium, titanium, vanadium,
and molybdenum. Steel products
included in the scope, regardless of
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTSUS) definitions, are
products in which: (1) Iron
predominates, by weight, over each of
the other contained elements, (2) the
carbon content is two percent or less, by
weight, and (3) none of the elements
listed below is equal to or exceeds the
quantity, by weight, respectively
indicated: 1.80 percent of manganese, or
1.50 percent of silicon, or 1.00 percent
of copper, or 0.50 percent of aluminum,
or 1.25 percent of chromium, or 0.30
percent of cobalt, or 0.40 percent of
lead, or 1.25 percent of nickel, or 0.30
percent of tungsten, or 0.10 percent of
molybdenum, or 0.10 percent of
niobium, or 0.41 percent of titanium, or
0.15 percent of vanadium, or 0.15
percent zirconium. All products that
meet the written physical description,
and in which the chemistry quantities
do not equal or exceed any one of the
levels listed above, are within the scope
of the order unless otherwise
specifically excluded. The following
products are specifically excluded from
the order: (1) Products clad, plated, or
coated with metal, whether or not
painted, varnished or coated with
plastic or other non-metallic substances;
(2) SAE grades (formerly AISI grades) of
series 2300 and above; (3) products
made to ASTM A710 and A736 or their
proprietary equivalents; (4) abrasionresistant steels (i.e., USS AR 400, USS
AR 500); (5) products made to ASTM
A202, A225, A514 grade S, A517 grade
S, or their proprietary equivalents; (6)
ball bearing steels; (7) tool steels; and (8)

Analysis of the Comments Received
The issue raised in DSM’s case brief
is addressed in the ‘‘Issues and Decision
Memorandum’’ (Decision Memo) from
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary Gary
Taverman to Assistant Secretary Paul
Piquado dated concurrently with this
notice, which is hereby adopted by this
notice. The sole issue which DSM has
raised and to which we have responded
is related to zeroing. The Decision
Memo is a public document and is on
file electronically via Import
Administration’s Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Centralized
Electronic Service System (IA ACCESS).
Access to IA ACCESS is available in the
Central Records Unit, room 7046 of the
main Department of Commerce
building. In addition, a complete
version of the Decision Memo can be
accessed directly on the Import
Administration Web site at https://
ia.ita.doc.gov/frn/. The
signed Decision Memo and the
electronic versions of the Decision
Memo are identical in content.
Final Results of the Review
As a result of this review, we
determine that the weighted-average
dumping margin for DSM is 1.64
percent for the period February 1, 2010,
through January 31, 2011.
The Department shall determine, and
U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties
on all appropriate entries. In accordance
with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), we
calculated an importer-specific
assessment rate for the final results of
review. We divided the total dumping
margins for the reviewed sales by the
total entered value of those reviewed
sales for the importer. We will instruct
CBP to assess the importer-specific rate
uniformly, as appropriate, on all entries
of subject merchandise made by the
relevant importer during the period of
review. See 19 CFR 351.212(b).
The Department clarified its
‘‘automatic assessment’’ regulation on
May 6, 2003. See Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Proceedings:
Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68
FR 23954 (May 6, 2003) (Assessment of
Antidumping Duties). This clarification
will apply to entries of subject
merchandise during the period of
review produced by DSM for which
DSM did not know its merchandise was
destined for the United States. In such
instances, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate unreviewed entries of the
DSM-produced merchandise at the allothers rate if there is no rate for the
E:\FR\FM\10APN1.SGM
10APN1
Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 69 / Tuesday, April 10, 2012 / Notices
intermediate company(ies) involved in
the transaction. See Assessment of
Antidumping Duties for a full
discussion of this clarification.
The Department will issue
instructions to CBP 15 days after the
publication of the final results of
review.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following deposit requirements
will be effective upon publication of the
notice of final results of administrative
review for all shipments of CTL plate
from Korea entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after
the date of publication, as provided by
section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Tariff Act of
1930, as amended (the Act): (1) The cash
deposit rate for DSM will be the 1.64
percent; (2) for previously reviewed or
investigated companies not listed above,
the cash deposit rate will continue to be
the company-specific rate published for
the most recent period; (3) if the
exporter is not a firm covered in this
review, a prior review, or the less-thanfair-value investigation but the
manufacturer is, the cash deposit rate
will be the rate established for the most
recent period for the manufacturer of
the merchandise; (4) if neither the
exporter nor the manufacturer has its
own rate, the cash deposit rate will be
0.98 percent,2 the all-others rate
established in the less-than-fair-value
investigation, adjusted for the exportsubsidy rate in the companion
countervailing duty investigation. These
deposit requirements, when imposed,
shall remain in effect until further
notice.

Notification to Importer
This notice serves as a final reminder
to importers of their responsibility
under 19 CFR 351.402(f) to file a
certificate regarding the reimbursement
of antidumping duties prior to
liquidation of the relevant entries
during this review period. Failure to
comply with this requirement could
result in the Department’s presumption
that reimbursement of antidumping
duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of doubled antidumping
duties.
Notification Regarding Administrative
Protective Order
This notice also serves as a reminder
to parties subject to administrative
protective order (APO) of their

We invited interested parties to comment on the Preliminary
Results. On February 13, 2012, we received a case brief from Dongkuk
Steel Mill Co., Ltd. (DSM). On February 21, 2012, we received a
rebuttal brief from Nucor Corporation.
Scope of the Order
The products covered by the antidumping duty order are certain hot-
rolled carbon-quality steel: (1) Universal mill plates (i.e., flat-
rolled products rolled on four faces or in a closed box pass, of a
width exceeding 150 mm but not exceeding 1250 mm, and of a nominal or
actual thickness of not less than 4 mm, which are cut-to length (not in
coils) and without patterns in relief), of iron or non-alloy quality
steel; and (2) flat-rolled products, hot-rolled, of a nominal or actual
thickness of 4.75 mm or more and of a width which exceeds 150 mm and
measures at least twice the thickness, and which are cut-to-length (not
in coils). Steel products included in the scope of the order are of
rectangular, square, circular, or other shape and of rectangular or
non-rectangular cross section where such non-rectangular cross-section
is achieved subsequent to the rolling process (i.e., products which
have been ``worked after rolling'')--for example, products which have
been beveled or rounded at the edges. Steel products that meet the
noted physical characteristics that are painted, varnished, or coated
with plastic or other non-metallic substances are included within the
scope. Also, specifically included in the scope of the order are high
strength, low alloy (HSLA) steels. HSLA steels are recognized as steels
with micro-alloying levels of elements such as chromium, copper,
niobium, titanium, vanadium, and molybdenum. Steel products included in
the scope, regardless of Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United
States (HTSUS) definitions, are products in which: (1) Iron
predominates, by weight, over each of the other contained elements, (2)
the carbon content is two percent or less, by weight, and (3) none of
the elements listed below is equal to or exceeds the quantity, by
weight, respectively indicated: 1.80 percent of manganese, or 1.50
percent of silicon, or 1.00 percent of copper, or 0.50 percent of
aluminum, or 1.25 percent of chromium, or 0.30 percent of cobalt, or
0.40 percent of lead, or 1.25 percent of nickel, or 0.30 percent of
tungsten, or 0.10 percent of molybdenum, or 0.10 percent of niobium, or
0.41 percent of titanium, or 0.15 percent of vanadium, or 0.15 percent
zirconium. All products that meet the written physical description, and
in which the chemistry quantities do not equal or exceed any one of the
levels listed above, are within the scope of the order unless otherwise
specifically excluded. The following products are specifically excluded
from the order: (1) Products clad, plated, or coated with metal,

Analysis of the Comments Received
The issue raised in DSM's case brief is addressed in the ``Issues
and Decision Memorandum'' (Decision Memo) from Acting Deputy Assistant
Secretary Gary Taverman to Assistant Secretary Paul Piquado dated
concurrently with this notice, which is hereby adopted by this notice.
The sole issue which DSM has raised and to which we have responded is
related to zeroing. The Decision Memo is a public document and is on
file electronically via Import Administration's Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service System (IA ACCESS).
Access to IA ACCESS is available in the Central Records Unit, room 7046
of the main Department of Commerce building. In addition, a complete
version of the Decision Memo can be accessed directly on the Import
Administration Web site at https://ia.ita.doc.gov/frn/. The
signed Decision Memo and the electronic versions of the Decision Memo
are identical in content.
Final Results of the Review
As a result of this review, we determine that the weighted-average
dumping margin for DSM is 1.64 percent for the period February 1, 2010,
through January 31, 2011.
The Department shall determine, and U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries. In accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), we calculated an
importer-specific assessment rate for the final results of review. We
divided the total dumping margins for the reviewed sales by the total
entered value of those reviewed sales for the importer. We will
instruct CBP to assess the importer-specific rate uniformly, as
appropriate, on all entries of subject merchandise made by the relevant
importer during the period of review. See 19 CFR 351.212(b).
The Department clarified its ``automatic assessment'' regulation on
May 6, 2003. See Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Proceedings:
Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003) (Assessment
of Antidumping Duties). This clarification will apply to entries of
subject merchandise during the period of review produced by DSM for
which DSM did not know its merchandise was destined for the United
States. In such instances, we will instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed
entries of the DSM-produced merchandise at the all-others rate if there
is no rate for the
[[Page 21529]]
intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction. See Assessment
of Antidumping Duties for a full discussion of this clarification.
The Department will issue instructions to CBP 15 days after the
publication of the final results of review.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following deposit requirements will be effective upon
publication of the notice of final results of administrative review for
all shipments of CTL plate from Korea entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of publication, as
provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended
(the Act): (1) The cash deposit rate for DSM will be the 1.64 percent;
(2) for previously reviewed or investigated companies not listed above,
the cash deposit rate will continue to be the company-specific rate
published for the most recent period; (3) if the exporter is not a firm
covered in this review, a prior review, or the less-than-fair-value
investigation but the manufacturer is, the cash deposit rate will be
the rate established for the most recent period for the manufacturer of
the merchandise; (4) if neither the exporter nor the manufacturer has
its own rate, the cash deposit rate will be 0.98 percent,\2\ the all-
others rate established in the less-than-fair-value investigation,
adjusted for the export-subsidy rate in the companion countervailing
duty investigation. These deposit requirements, when imposed, shall
remain in effect until further notice.

Notification to Importer
This notice serves as a final reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f) to file a certificate regarding
the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation of the
relevant entries during this review period. Failure to comply with this
requirement could result in the Department's presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of doubled antidumping duties.
Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Order
This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under
APO as explained in the APO itself. See 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely
written notification of the destruction of APO materials or conversion
to judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to comply
with the regulations and terms of an APO is a sanctionable violation.
These final results of administrative review are issued and
published in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act
and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5).
Dated: April 4, 2012.

Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
