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 ‘‘usagedriven’’ 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 January 28, 2014. FTZ 197 was approved by the FTZ Board on November 26, 1993 (Board Order 665, 58 FR 64546, 12/08/1993) and expanded on November 27, 2007, (Board Order 1536, 72 FR 69649, 12/10/ 2007). The current zone includes the following sites: Site 1 (897 acres)—3 parcels as follows: Santa Teresa Airport Industrial Park (200 acres), 8016 Airport Road, Santa Teresa; Santa Teresa Business Center (489 acres), 2700 Airport Road, Santa Teresa; and, the Santa Teresa Logistics Park (208 acres), 4751 Avenida Creel, Santa Teresa; Site 2 (206 acres)—West Mesa Industrial Park, 350 Alliance Drive, Las Cruces; Site 3 (304 acres)—Santa Teresa BiNational Park, 401 Avenida Ascension, Las Cruces. The grantee’s proposed service area ˜ under the ASF would be Dona Ana County, New Mexico, 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 Santa Teresa U.S. Customs and Border Protection port of entry. As part of the reorganization request, the grantee is requesting that two of the parcels which are currently part of Site 1 be renumbered to create Site 4 and Site 5. The applicant is requesting VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:23 Jan 30, 2014 Jkt 232001 authority to reorganize its existing zone project to include both the existing and renumbered 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 4 be so exempted. No subzones/usage-driven sites are being requested at this time. In accordance with the FTZ 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 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 April 1, 2014. Rebuttal comments in response to material submitted during the foregoing period may be submitted during the subsequent 15-day period to April 16, 2014.

Accordingly, the Department will issue a questionnaire to Anying which will include a section requesting information with regard to its export activities for separate rates purposes. The review of Anying will proceed if the response provides sufficient indication that Anying is not subject to either de jure or de facto government control with respect to its exports of subject merchandise.

    \12\ See section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    It is the Department's usual practice, in cases involving non-
market economies, to require that a company seeking to establish 
eligibility for an antidumping duty rate separate from the country-wide 
rate provide evidence of de jure and de facto absence of government 
control over the company's export activities. Accordingly, the 
Department will issue a questionnaire to Anying which will include a 
section requesting information with regard to its export activities for 
separate rates purposes. The review of Anying will proceed if the 
response provides sufficient indication that Anying is not subject to 
either de jure or de facto government control with respect to its 
exports of subject merchandise.
    The Department will instruct CBP to allow, at the option of the 
importer, the posting, until the completion of the review, of a bond or 
security in lieu of a cash deposit for entries of subject merchandise 
from Anying in accordance with section 751(a)(2)(B)(iii) of the Act and 
19 CFR 351.214(e). Because Anying certified that it produced and 
exported the subject merchandise, the Department will apply the bonding 
privilege only for subject merchandise that the respondent both 
produced and exported.
    Interested parties requiring access to proprietary information in 
this new shipper review should submit applications for disclosure under 
administrative protective order in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305 and

    This initiation and notice are published in accordance with section 
751(a)(2)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.214 and 351.221(c)(1)(i).
