TKELLEY on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Foreign-Trade Zone 146—Lawrence
County, Illinois; Application for
Reorganization and Expansion Under
Alternative Site Framework
An application has been submitted to
the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) Board by
the Bi-State Authority, grantee of FTZ
146, requesting authority to reorganize
the zone under the alternative site
framework (ASF) adopted by the FTZ
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 FTZ 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
May 20, 2013.
FTZ 146 was approved by the FTZ
Board on February 11, 1988 (Board
Order 371, 53 FR 5436, 2/24/1988) and
expanded on April 18, 2000 (Board
Order 1085, 65 FR 24675, 4/27/2000).
The current zone includes the
following sites: Site 1 (43 acres)—MidAmerica Air Center, Route 50,
Lawrenceville, Lawrence County; and,
Site 2 (62 acres)—Effingham Industrial
Park, Effingham, Effingham County.
The grantee’s proposed service area
under the ASF would be Clay,
Crawford, Edwards, Hamilton,
Lawrence, Richland and Wayne
Counties, Illinois, as described in the
application. If approved, the grantee
VerDate Mar<15>2010
16:25 May 29, 2013
Jkt 229001
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 Evansville Customs and
Border Protection port of entry.
The applicant is requesting authority
to reorganize its existing zone project to
include both of the existing sites as
‘‘magnet’’ sites. The applicant is also
requesting approval of the following
‘‘usage-driven’’ site: Proposed Site 3
(11.5 acres)—Hella Electronics
Corporation, 1101 Vincennes Avenue,
Flora, Clay County. The application
would have no impact on FTZ 146’s
previously authorized subzones.
In accordance with the FTZ 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 FTZ Board.
Public comment is invited from
interested parties. Submissions shall be
addressed to the FTZ Board’s Executive
Secretary at the address below. The
closing period for their receipt is July
29, 2013. Rebuttal comments in
response to material submitted during
the foregoing period may be submitted
during the subsequent 15-day period to
August 13, 2013.

available for public inspection at the

Methodology
The Department is conducting this
review in accordance with sections
751(a)(1)(B) and 751(a)(2)(B) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘the
Act’’) and 19 CFR 351.214. The
Department calculated export prices in
accordance with section 772 of the Act.
Because the PRC is a nonmarket
economy (‘‘NME’’) within the meaning
of section 771(18) of the Act, the
Department calculated normal value in
accordance with section 773(c) of the
Act. Specifically, we valued the
respondent’s factors of production using
the Philippines as the surrogate country,
which is economically comparable to
the PRC and a significant producer of
comparable merchandise.
For a full description of the
methodology underlying our
conclusions, see the Preliminary
Decision Memorandum, dated
concurrently with these results and
hereby adopted by this notice. The
Preliminary Decision Memorandum is a
public document and is on file
electronically via Import
Administration’s Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Centralized
Electronic Service System (‘‘IA
ACCESS’’). IA ACCESS is available to
registered users at https://
iaaccess.trade.gov and in the Central
Records Unit, room 7046 of the main
Department of Commerce building. In
addition, a complete version of the
Preliminary Decision Memorandum can
be accessed directly on the Internet at
https://www.trade.gov/ia. The signed

information no later than ten days after
such factual information is served on
the interested party. However, the
Department generally will not accept in
the rebuttal submission additional or
alternative surrogate value information
not previously on the record, if the
deadline for submission of surrogate
value information has passed.6
Furthermore, the Department generally
will not accept business proprietary
information in either the surrogate value
submissions or the rebuttals thereto, as
the regulation regarding the submission
of surrogate values allows only for the
submission of publicly available
information.7
Assessment Rates
Upon issuing the final results of the
new shipper review, the Department
shall determine, and U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’) shall assess,
antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries. The Department intends to issue
assessment instructions to CBP 15 days
after the date of publication of the final
results of this new shipper review. For
any individually examined respondents
whose weighted-average dumping
margin is above de minimis, we will
calculate importer-specific ad valorem
duty assessment rates based on the ratio
of the total amount of dumping
calculated for the importer’s examined
sales to the total entered value of those
same sales in accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1).8
We will instruct CBP to assess
antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries covered by this new shipper
review when the importer-specific
assessment rate calculated in the final
results of this review is above de
minimis. Where either the respondent’s
weighted-average dumping margin is
zero or de minimis, or an importerspecific assessment rate is zero or de
minimis, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate the appropriate entries
without regard to antidumping duties.
The Department recently announced a
refinement to its assessment practice in
NME cases. Pursuant to this refinement
in practice, for entries that were not
reported in the U.S. sales databases
submitted by Power Dekor for this new
shipper review, the Department will
instruct CBP to liquidate such entries at
the PRC-wide rate. In addition, if the
Department determines that the exporter
under review had no shipments of the
subject merchandise, any suspended
entries that entered under that
exporter’s case number (i.e., at that
exporter’s rate) will be liquidated at the
PRC-wide rate.9
The final results of this new shipper
review shall be the basis for the
assessment of antidumping duties on
entries of merchandise covered by the
final results of this review and for future
deposits of estimated duties, where
applicable.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit
requirements will be effective upon
publication of the final results of this
new shipper review for shipments of the
subject merchandise from the PRC
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the
publication date, as provided by
sections 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For
merchandise produced by Guangzhou
Homebon Timber Manufacturing Co.
Ltd. and exported by Power Dekor, the
cash deposit rate will be that established
in the final results of this review
(except, if the rate is zero or de minimis,
then zero cash deposit will be required);
(2) for previously investigated or
reviewed PRC and non-PRC exporters
not listed above that received a separate
rate in a prior segment of this
proceeding, the cash deposit rate will
continue to be the existing producer/
exporter-specific combination rate; (3)
for all PRC exporters of subject
merchandise that have not been found
to be entitled to a separate rate, the cash
deposit rate will be that for the PRCwide entity; and (4) for all non-PRC
exporters of subject merchandise which
have not received their own rate, the
cash deposit rate will be the rate
applicable to the PRC producer/exporter
combination that supplied that non-PRC
exporter. These deposit requirements,
when imposed, shall remain in effect
until further notice.

Antidumping Countervailing Duty Operations to Paul Piquado,
Assistant Secretary for Import Administration ``Decision Memorandum
for Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty New Shipper Review:
Multilayered Wood Flooring from the People's Republic of China,''
dated May 23, 2013 (``Preliminary Decision Memorandum'') for a full
description of the Scope of the Order.

The HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and customs
purposes only; the written product description of the scope of the
order is dispositive.
Methodology
The Department is conducting this review in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1)(B) and 751(a)(2)(B) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (``the Act'') and 19 CFR 351.214. The Department calculated
export prices in accordance with section 772 of the Act. Because the
PRC is a nonmarket economy (``NME'') within the meaning of section
771(18) of the Act, the Department calculated normal value in
accordance with section 773(c) of the Act. Specifically, we valued the
respondent's factors of production using the Philippines as the
surrogate country, which is economically comparable to the PRC and a
significant producer of comparable merchandise.
For a full description of the methodology underlying our
conclusions, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum, dated
concurrently with these results and hereby adopted by this notice. The
Preliminary Decision Memorandum is a public document and is on file
electronically via Import Administration's Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service System (``IA
ACCESS''). IA ACCESS is available to registered users at https://iaaccess.trade.gov and in the Central Records Unit, room 7046 of the
main Department of Commerce building. In addition, a complete version
of the Preliminary Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly on the
Internet at https://www.trade.gov/ia. The signed Preliminary Decision
Memorandum and the electronic versions of the Preliminary Decision
Memorandum are identical in content.
Preliminary Results of New Shipper Review
The Department preliminarily determines that the following
weighted-average dumping margin exists:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weighted-

Disclosure and Public Comment
The Department will disclose calculations performed for these
preliminary results to the parties within five days of the date of
publication of this notice in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).
Interested parties may submit written comments no later than 30 days
after the date of publication of these preliminary results of
review.\2\ Rebuttals to written comments may be filed no later than
five days after the written comments are filed.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ See 19 CFR 351.309(c).
\3\ See 19 CFR 351.309(d).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Any interested party may request a hearing within 30 days of
publication of this notice.\4\ Hearing requests should contain the
following information: (1) The party's name, address, and telephone
number; (2) the number of participants; and (3) a list of the issues to
be discussed. Oral presentations will be limited to issues raised in
the briefs. If a request for a hearing is made, parties will be
notified of the time and date for the hearing to be held at the U.S.
Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue NW., Washington, DC
20230.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ See 19 CFR 351.310(c).
\5\ See 19 CFR 351.310(d).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Department will issue the final results of this new shipper
review, which will include the results of its analysis of issues raised
in any such comments, within 90 days of publication of these
preliminary results, pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.
Deadline for Submission of Publicly Available Surrogate Value
Information
In accordance with 19 CFR 351.301(c)(3)(ii), the deadline for
submission of publicly available information to value factors of
production under 19 CFR 351.408(c) is 20 days after the date of
publication of the preliminary results. In accordance with 19 CFR
351.301(c)(4), if an interested party submits factual information less
than ten days before, on, or after (if the Department has extended the
deadline), the applicable deadline for submission of such factual
information, an interested party may submit factual information to
rebut, clarify, or correct the factual
[[Page 32369]]
information no later than ten days after such factual information is
served on the interested party. However, the Department generally will
not accept in the rebuttal submission additional or alternative
surrogate value information not previously on the record, if the
deadline for submission of surrogate value information has passed.\6\
Furthermore, the Department generally will not accept business
proprietary information in either the surrogate value submissions or
the rebuttals thereto, as the regulation regarding the submission of
surrogate values allows only for the submission of publicly available
information.\7\

Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review and Final
Rescission, in Part, 72 FR 58809 (October 17, 2007), and
accompanying Issues and Decision Memorandum at Comment 2.
\7\ See 19 CFR 351.301(c)(3).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Assessment Rates
Upon issuing the final results of the new shipper review, the
Department shall determine, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(``CBP'') shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries.
The Department intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP 15 days
after the date of publication of the final results of this new shipper
review. For any individually examined respondents whose weighted-
average dumping margin is above de minimis, we will calculate importer-
specific ad valorem duty assessment rates based on the ratio of the
total amount of dumping calculated for the importer's examined sales to
the total entered value of those same sales in accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1).\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\8\ In these preliminary results, the Department applied the
assessment rate calculation method adopted in Antidumping
Proceedings: Calculation of the Weighted-Average Dumping Margin and
Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping Proceedings: Final
Modification, 77 FR 8101 (February 14, 2012).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
We will instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries covered by this new shipper review when the
importer-specific assessment rate calculated in the final results of
this review is above de minimis. Where either the respondent's
weighted-average dumping margin is zero or de minimis, or an importer-
specific assessment rate is zero or de minimis, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties.
The Department recently announced a refinement to its assessment
practice in NME cases. Pursuant to this refinement in practice, for
entries that were not reported in the U.S. sales databases submitted by
Power Dekor for this new shipper review, the Department will instruct
CBP to liquidate such entries at the PRC-wide rate. In addition, if the
Department determines that the exporter under review had no shipments
of the subject merchandise, any suspended entries that entered under
that exporter's case number (i.e., at that exporter's rate) will be
liquidated at the PRC-wide rate.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\9\ For a full discussion of this practice, see Non-Market
Economy Antidumping Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties,
76 FR 65694 (October 24, 2011).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The final results of this new shipper review shall be the basis for
the assessment of antidumping duties on entries of merchandise covered
by the final results of this review and for future deposits of
estimated duties, where applicable.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon
publication of the final results of this new shipper review for
shipments of the subject merchandise from the PRC entered, or withdrawn
from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date, as
provided by sections 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For merchandise
produced by Guangzhou Homebon Timber Manufacturing Co. Ltd. and
exported by Power Dekor, the cash deposit rate will be that established
in the final results of this review (except, if the rate is zero or de
minimis, then zero cash deposit will be required); (2) for previously
investigated or reviewed PRC and non-PRC exporters not listed above
that received a separate rate in a prior segment of this proceeding,
the cash deposit rate will continue to be the existing producer/
exporter-specific combination rate; (3) for all PRC exporters of
subject merchandise that have not been found to be entitled to a
separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be that for the PRC-wide
entity; and (4) for all non-PRC exporters of subject merchandise which
have not received their own rate, the cash deposit rate will be the
rate applicable to the PRC producer/exporter combination that supplied
that non-PRC exporter. These deposit requirements, when imposed, shall
remain in effect until further notice.
Notification to Importers
This notice also serves as a preliminary reminder to importers of
their responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) 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 double antidumping duties.
We are issuing and publishing these results in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213.
Dated: May 23, 2013.

Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
