Proposed Foreign-Trade Zone—
Cameron Parish, Louisiana Under
Alternative Site Framework
An application has been submitted to
the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) Board by
the West Cameron Port Commission to
establish a foreign-trade zone within
Cameron Parish, Louisiana, adjacent to
the Lake Charles CBP port of entry,
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
‘‘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 project. The application was
submitted pursuant to the provisions of
VerDate Mar<15>2010
18:45 Mar 14, 2014
Jkt 232001
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 March
12, 2014. The applicant is authorized to
make the proposal under Louisiana
Revised Statues, Title 51, Sections 61–
62.
The proposed zone would be the
second zone for the Lake Charles
Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
port of entry. The existing zone is FTZ
87, Lake Charles (Grantee: Lake Charles
Harbor & Terminal District, Board Order
217, July 22, 1983).
The applicant’s proposed service area
under the ASF would be Wards 3, 4, 5
and 6 of Cameron Parish. If approved,
the applicant would be able to serve
sites throughout the service area based
on companies’ needs for FTZ
designation. The proposed service area
is adjacent to the Lake Charles CBP port
of entry.
The proposed zone would include
one initial ‘‘usage-driven’’ site:
Proposed Site 1 (1,049 acres)—at the
Cheniere Sabine Pass LNG Terminal,
9243 Gulf Beach Highway, Cameron.
The application indicates a need for
zone services in Cameron Parish,
Louisiana. Several firms have indicated
an interest in using zone procedures for
warehousing/distribution activities for a
variety of products. Specific production
approvals are not being sought at this
time. Such requests would be made to
the FTZ Board on a case-by-case basis.
In accordance with the FTZ Board’s
regulations, Camille Evans 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 May
16, 2014. Rebuttal comments in
response to material submitted during

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce
(‘‘the Department’’) is conducting an
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on uncovered
innerspring units from the People’s
Republic of China (‘‘PRC’’). The period
of review is February 1, 2012, through
January 31, 2013. The review covers the
following exporters of subject
merchandise: Goldon Bedding
Manufacturing (M) Sdn Bhd
(‘‘Goldon’’) 1 and Ta Cheng Coconut
Knitting Company Ltd. (‘‘Ta Cheng’’).
We preliminarily determine that Goldon
and Ta Cheng, two market economy
exporters, failed to cooperate to the best
of their abilities and are, therefore,
applying adverse facts available
(‘‘AFA’’) to Goldon’s and Ta Cheng’s
PRC-origin merchandise. Interested
parties are invited to comment on these
preliminary results.

Tolling of Deadlines for Preliminary
Results
As explained in the memorandum
from the Assistant Secretary for
Enforcement and Compliance, the
Department exercised its discretion to
toll deadlines for the duration of the
closure of the Federal Government from
October 1, through October 16, 2013.2
Therefore, all deadlines in this segment
of the proceeding have been extended
by 16 days. The revised deadline for the
preliminary results of this review is now
March 18, 2014.
Scope of the Order
The merchandise subject to the order
is uncovered innerspring units
composed of a series of individual metal
springs joined together in sizes
corresponding to the sizes of adult
mattresses (e.g., twin, twin long, full,
full long, queen, California king and
king) and units used in smaller
constructions, such as crib and youth
mattresses. The product is currently
classified under subheading
9404.29.9010 and has also been
classified under subheadings
9404.10.0000, 7326.20.0070,
7320.20.5010, or 7320.90.5010 of the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (‘‘HTSUS’’). The HTSUS
subheadings are provided for
convenience and customs purposes
only; the written product description of
the scope of the order is dispositive.3

Methodology
The Department conducted this
review in accordance with section
751(a)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (‘‘the Act’’). In making these
findings, we relied on facts available
and, because Goldon and Ta Cheng did
not act to the best of their ability to
respond to the Department’s requests for
information, we drew an adverse
inference in selecting from among the
facts otherwise available.4
For a full description of the
methodology underlying our
conclusions, please see the Preliminary
Decision Memorandum. The
2 See Memorandum for the Record from Paul
Piquado, Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and
Compliance, ‘‘Deadlines Affected by the Shutdown
of the Federal Government’’ (Oct. 18, 2013).

Rescission of Review
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the
Department will rescind an
administrative review if the party that
requested the review withdraws its
request within 90 days of the

its discretion to toll deadlines for the
duration of the closure of the Federal
Government from October 1, through
October 16, 2013.2 Accordingly, all

proceeding have been extended by 16
days. Therefore, Globe Metal withdrew
its request within the 90-day deadline
and no other parties requested an
administrative review of the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
AGENCY:
On August 1, 2013, based on a timely
request for review by Globe
Metallurgical Inc. (‘‘Globe Metal’’), the
Department published in the Federal
Register a notice of initiation of an
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on silicon
metal from the PRC covering the period
June 1, 2012, through May 31, 2013.1
The review covers one company:
Shanghai Jinneng International Trade
Co., Ltd. On November 15, 2013, Globe
Metal timely withdrew its request for an
administrative review of the company
listed above.
The Department will instruct U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’)
to assess antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries. Because the
Department is rescinding this
administrative review in its entirety, the
entries to which this administrative
review pertained shall be assessed
antidumping duties at rates equal to the
cash deposit of estimated antidumping
duties required at the time of entry, or
withdrawal from warehouse, for
consumption, in accordance with 19

to importers of their responsibility
under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a

administrative protective order (‘‘APO’’)
of their responsibility concerning the
return or destruction of proprietary
information disclosed under APO in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.305, which
continues to govern business

Goldon and Ta Cheng, two market economy exporters, failed to cooperate
to the best of their abilities and are, therefore, applying adverse
facts available (``AFA'') to Goldon's and Ta Cheng's PRC-origin
merchandise. Interested parties are invited to comment on these
preliminary results.

composed of a series of individual metal springs joined together in
sizes corresponding to the sizes of adult mattresses (e.g., twin, twin
long, full, full long, queen, California king and king) and units used
in smaller constructions, such as crib and youth mattresses. The

Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon

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 Goldon and Ta
Cheng, 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 exporter-specific rate published
for the most recently completed period; (3) for all PRC exporters of

separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be the PRC-wide rate of

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: March 10, 2014.
Paul Piquado,
Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
