Foreign-Trade Zones Board

Foreign-Trade Zone 37—Orange
County, NY, Application for
Reorganization (Expansion of Service
Area) Under Alternative Site
Framework
An application has been submitted to
the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) Board
(the Board) by the County of Orange,
grantee of Foreign-Trade Zone 37,
requesting authority to reorganize the
zone to expand its service area under
the alternative site framework (ASF)
adopted by the Board (15 CFR 400.2(c)).
The ASF is an option for grantees for the
establishment or reorganization of zones
and can permit significantly greater
flexibility in the designation of new
subzones or ‘‘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 zone. 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 docketed on
February 11, 2013.
FTZ 37 was approved by the Board on
May 4, 1978 (Board Order 130, 43 FR
20526, 05/12/1978) and expanded on
July 9, 1999 (Board Order 1044, 64 FR
38887, 07/20/1999). FTZ 37 was
reorganized under the ASF on May 13,
2010 (Board Order 1680, 75 FR 29727,
5/27/2010) and its ASF service area was
expanded on October 24, 2011 (Board
Order 1796, 76 FR 67407, 11/1/2011).
The zone project currently has a service
area that includes Orange and Duchess
Counties, New York.
The applicant is now requesting
authority to expand the service area of
the zone to include Rockland County, as
described in the application. If
E:\FR\FM\21FEN1.SGM
21FEN1
12034
Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 35 / Thursday, February 21, 2013 / Notices
approved, the grantee would be able to
serve sites throughout the expanded
service area based on companies’ needs
for FTZ designation. The proposed
expanded service area is adjacent to the
Newark/New York Customs and Border
Protection Ports of Entry.
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 shall be
addressed to the Board’s Executive
Secretary at the address below. The
closing period for their receipt is April
22, 2013. Rebuttal comments in
response to material submitted during
the foregoing period may be submitted
during the subsequent 15-day period to
May 7, 2013.
A copy of the application will be
available for public inspection at the
Office of the Executive Secretary,
Foreign-Trade Zones Board, Room
21013, U.S. Department of Commerce,

(202) 482–1280, respectively.
Background
On November 6, 2012, the Department
published the preliminary results of the
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on certain
preserved mushrooms (mushrooms)
from India.1 We invited interested
parties to comment on the Preliminary
Results, but we received no comments.
The Department has conducted this
administrative review in accordance
with section 751(a)(1) of the Tariff Act
of 1930, as amended (the Act).
Period of Review
The period of review is February 1,
2011, through January 31, 2012.
Scope of the Order
The merchandise subject to the order
is certain preserved mushrooms,
whether imported whole, sliced, diced,
or as stems and pieces. The preserved
mushrooms covered under this order are
the species Agaricus bisporus and
Agaricus bitorquis. ‘‘Preserved
mushrooms’’ refer to mushrooms that
have been prepared or preserved by
cleaning, blanching, and sometimes
slicing or cutting. These mushrooms are
then packed and heated in containers
including but not limited to cans or
glass jars in a suitable liquid medium,
including but not limited to water,
brine, butter or butter sauce. Preserved
mushrooms may be imported whole,
sliced, diced, or as stems and pieces.
Included within the scope of this order
are ‘‘brined’’ mushrooms, which are
presalted and packed in a heavy salt
solution to provisionally preserve them
for further processing.
Excluded from the scope of this order
are the following: (1) All other species
of mushroom, including straw
mushrooms; (2) all fresh and chilled
mushrooms, including ‘‘refrigerated’’ or

Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative

‘‘quick blanched mushrooms’’; (3) dried
mushrooms; (4) frozen mushrooms; and
(5) ‘‘marinated,’’ ‘‘acidified’’ or
‘‘pickled’’ mushrooms, which are
prepared or preserved by means of
vinegar or acetic acid, but may contain
oil or other additives.
The merchandise subject to this order
is currently classifiable under
subheadings 2003.10.0127,
2003.10.0131, 2003.10.0137,
2003.10.0143, 2003.10.0147,
2003.10.0153 and 0711.51.0000 of the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTSUS).2 Although the
HTSUS subheadings are provided for
convenience and customs purposes, our
written description of the scope of this
order is dispositive.
Application of Adverse Facts Available
In the Preliminary Results, we found
that Agro Dutch Industries Limited
(Agro Dutch) did not act to the best of
its ability in this administrative review
because it failed to respond to all of the
requisite sections of the Department’s
questionnaire. Therefore, pursuant to
sections 776(a)(2) and (b) of the Tariff
Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), we
assigned it a rate of 114.76 percent as
adverse facts available (AFA). No
interested party submitted comments on
the Preliminary Results, and there is no
additional information on the record of
this review that would cause us to
reconsider our preliminary decision.
Thus, for the final results, we continue
to find that, by failing to provide
information we requested, necessary
information is missing from the record
and Agro Dutch did not act to the best
of its ability. Accordingly, we continue
to find that the use of AFA is warranted
for this company under sections
776(a)(2) and (b) of the Act.3
As we explained in the Preliminary
Results, the rate of 114.76 percent
selected as the AFA rate for Agro Dutch
is the highest calculated margin on the
record of this proceeding. Further, as
discussed in the Preliminary Results, we
continue to find that the use of the rate
of 114.76 percent is sufficiently high to
ensure that Agro Dutch does not benefit
from failing to cooperate to the best of
its ability in our review by refusing to
respond to all of the requisite sections
of our questionnaire. In addition, we
consider the 114.76 percent rate
2 We have revised the HTSUS item numbers for
the merchandise subject to this order to reflect the
current HTSUS schedule available on the
International Trade Commission’s Web site at
https://www.usitc.gov/tata/hts/bychapter/index.htm.
