[FR Doc. 2013–30667 Filed 12–23–13; 8:45 am]
BILLING CODE 3510–DS–P
Xylem Water Systems USA LLC
(Xylem), operator of Subzone 37D,
submitted a notification of proposed
production activity to the FTZ Board for
its facilities located in Auburn, New
York. The notification conforming to the
requirements of the regulations of the
FTZ Board (15 CFR 400.22) was
received on December 2, 2013.
Xylem already has authority to
produce centrifugal pumps, submersible
pumps, and related controllers. The
current request would add a new
finished product (control panels) and
certain foreign components to the scope
of authority. Pursuant to 15 CFR
400.14(b), FTZ activity would be limited
to the specific foreign-status
components and specific finished
products described in the submitted
notification (as described below) and
subsequently authorized by the FTZ
Board.
Production under FTZ procedures
could exempt Xylem from customs duty
payments on the foreign status
components used in export production.
On its domestic sales, Xylem would be
able to choose the duty rates during
customs entry procedures that apply to
control panels (2.7%) and centrifugal
and submersible pumps (free) for the
foreign status inputs noted below and in
the existing scope of authority. Customs
duties also could possibly be deferred or
reduced on foreign status production
equipment.
The components and materials
sourced from abroad include: control
panels; steel rivets; rubber diaphragms;
axial fans; aluminum capacitors; metal
brackets; and pump stands (duty rate
ranges from free to 2.9%).
Public comment is invited from
interested parties. Submissions shall be

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Scope of the Order
The products covered by the order are
all gauges of raw, pre-treated, or primed
polyethylene terephthalate film,
whether extruded or co-extruded.
Excluded are metallized films and other
finished films that have had at least one
of their surfaces modified by the
application of a performance-enhancing
resinous or inorganic layer more than
0.00001 inches thick. Also excluded is
roller transport cleaning film which has
at least one of its surfaces modified by
application of 0.5 micrometers of SBR
latex. Tracing and drafting film is also
excluded. Polyethylene terephthalate
film is classifiable under subheading

Schedule of the United States (HTSUS).
While HTSUS subheadings are provided

Disclosure and Public Comment
The Department intends to disclose the calculations used in our
analysis to parties in this review within five days of the date of
publication of this notice in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).
Interested parties are invited to comment on the preliminary results of
this review. Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.309(c)(1)(ii), interested parties
may submit case briefs not later than 30 days after the date of
publication of this notice. Rebuttal briefs, limited to issues raised
in the case briefs, may not be filed later than five days after the
time limit for filing case briefs.\2\ Parties who submit case briefs or
rebuttal briefs in this review are requested to submit with each brief:

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), any interested party may request a
hearing within 30 days of the publication of this notice in the Federal
Register. If a hearing is requested, the Department will notify
interested parties of the hearing schedule. Interested parties who wish
to request a hearing, or to participate if one is requested, must
submit a written request to the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and
Compliance, filed electronically via IA ACCESS within 30 days after the
date of publication of this notice. Requests should contain: (1) The
party's name, address, and telephone number; (2) the number of
participants; and (3) a list of the issues to be discussed. Issues
raised in the hearing will be limited to those raised in the respective
case briefs.
We intend to issue the final results of this administrative review,
including the results of our analysis of issues raised by the parties
in the written comments, within 120 days of publication of these
preliminary results in the Federal Register, unless otherwise
extended.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ See section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Assessment Rates
Upon issuing the final results of the 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 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).\6\ We will instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties on
all appropriate entries covered by this 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ In these preliminary results, the Department applied the
assessment rate calculation methodology 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).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The final results of this 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 deposit requirements will be effective for all
shipments of PET Film from the UAE entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of publication of the
final results of this administrative review, as provided for by section
751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) The cash deposit rate for the companies
under review will be the rate established in the final results of this
review (except, if the rate is zero or de minimis, no cash deposit will
be required); (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; and (4) the cash deposit rate for all
other manufacturers or exporters will continue to be 4.05 percent, the
all-others rate established in the investigation.\7\ These cash deposit
requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further
notice.
