Foreign-Trade Zone 197—Dona Ana
County, New Mexico;
Application for Reorganization under
Alternative Site Framework
An application has been submitted to
the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) Board by
the Board of County Commissioners of
˜
Dona Ana County, New Mexico, grantee
of FTZ 197, requesting authority to
reorganize the zone under the
alternative site framework (ASF)
adopted by the FTZ Board (15 CFR Sec.
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 ‘‘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.
A copy of the application will be
available for public inspection at the
Office of the Executive Secretary,
Foreign-Trade Zones Board, Room

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The Department published the
antidumping duty order on multilayered
wood flooring from the PRC on
December 8, 2011.1 On December 20,
2013, pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(B)(i)
of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended
(the ‘‘Act’’), and 19 CFR 351.214(c), the
Department received a timely request
for a new shipper review from Linyi
Anying Wood Co., Ltd., (‘‘Anying’’).2 In
order to confirm certain information in
Anying’s request, we requested entry
documents from U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’).3 The
continuation of the new shipper review
will be contingent upon confirmation of
the information received in response to
that request. Additionally, on January
15, 2014, the Department received entry
data from CBP.4
Anying stated that it is both the
producer and the exporter of the subject
merchandise upon which its request for
a new shipper review is based.5
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(B)(i)(I) of
the Act and 19 CFR 351.214(b)(2)(i),
Anying certified that it did not export
multilayered wood flooring to the
United States during the period of
investigation (‘‘POI’’).6 In addition,
pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(B)(i)(II) of
the Act and 19 CFR 351.214(b)(2)(iii)(A),

Anying certified that, since the
initiation of the investigation, it has
never been affiliated with any exporter
or producer that exported multilayered
wood flooring to the United States
during the POI, including those not
individually examined during the
investigation.7 As required by 19 CFR
351.214(b)(2)(iii)(B), Anying also
certified that its export activities were
not controlled by the central
government of the PRC.8
In addition to the certifications
described above, pursuant to 19 CFR
351.214(b)(2)(iv), Anying submitted
documentation establishing the
following: (1) The date on which it first
shipped multilayered wood flooring for
export to the United States and the date
on which the multilayered wood
flooring was first entered, or withdrawn
from warehouse, for consumption; (2)
the volume of its first shipment; and (3)
the date of its first sale to an unaffiliated
customer in the United States.9
The Department conducted a CBP
database query and confirmed that
Anying’s shipment of subject
merchandise entered the United States
for consumption and that liquidation of
such entries has been properly
suspended for antidumping duties.
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i), the
Department will publish the notice of
initiation of a new shipper review no
later than the last day of the month
following the anniversary month or
semiannual anniversary month of the
order.
Initiation of New Shipper Review
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(B) of the
Act, 19 CFR 351.214(b), and based on
the information on the record, the
Department finds that Anying meets the
threshold requirements for initiation of
a new shipper review of its shipment of
multilayered wood flooring from the
PRC.10 However, if the information
supplied by Anying is later found to be
incorrect or insufficient during the
course of this proceeding, the
Department may rescind the review or
apply adverse facts available pursuant
to section 776 of the Act, depending
upon the facts on record. The POR for
the new shipper review of Anying is
December 1, 2012, through November
30, 2013.11 The Department intends to
issue the preliminary results of this
review no later than 180 days from the
date of initiation, and the final results
of this review no later than 90 days after
the date the preliminary results are
issued.12
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
351.306.
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).
Dated: January 24, 2014.
