Indiana. The notification conforming to
the requirements of the regulations of
the FTZ Board (15 CFR 400.22) was
received on April 22, 2014.
The Best Home facilities are located
within Sites 5, 6, and 7 of FTZ 177 and
currently have authority to conduct cutand-sew activity using certain foreign
micro-denier suede upholstery fabrics to
produce upholstered furniture and
related parts (upholstery cover sets) on
a restricted basis (see, Board Order
1807, 77 FR 6536, 2–8–2012). Board
Order 1807 authorized the production of
upholstered furniture (sofas, sectionals,
loveseats, chairs, and recliners) for a
five-year period, with a scope of
authority that only provides FTZ
savings on a limited quantity (2.28
million square yards/year) of foreign
origin, micro-denier suede upholstery
fabric finished with a hot caustic soda
solution process. All foreign upholstery
fabric other than micro-denier suede
fabric used in Best Home’s production
within FTZ 177 is subject to full
customs duties.
The current request would add certain
foreign status micro-denier suede fabrics
finished with hot caustic soda and
certain polyurethane fabrics to the scope
of authority. Pursuant to 15 CFR
400.14(b), additional FTZ authority
would be limited to the specific foreignstatus materials 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 Best Home from customs
duty payments on the additional fabrics
used in export production. On its
domestic sales, Best Home would be
able to apply the finished upholstery
cover set (i.e., furniture part) or finished
furniture duty rate (free) for the
additional fabrics (indicated below).
Customs duties also could possibly be
deferred or reduced on foreign status
production equipment.
The expanded scope of authority
under FTZ procedures would only
involve micro-denier suede upholstery
fabrics finished with a hot caustic soda
solution process (classified within
HTSUS Headings 5407, 5512, 5515,
5516, 5801, and 5903), polyurethane
fabrics backed with ground leather
(5903.20.2500), and wet coagulation
process, 100 percent polyurethane
coated fabrics (5903.20.2500), as
detailed in the notification (duty rate
ranges from 7.5 to 14.9%). All other
foreign upholstery fabrics used in the
production activity would continue to
be admitted to the zone in domestic
(duty paid) status.

Postponement of Preliminary
Determination
On January 14, 2014, the Department
of Commerce (‘‘Department’’) published
a notice initiating an antidumping duty
investigation of calcium hypochlorite
from the People’s Republic of China.1
The notice of initiation inadvertently
stated that the Department, in
accordance with section 733(b)(1)(A) of
the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘the

postponed, will issue its preliminary
determination no later than 140 days
after the publication date of this
initiation, instead of the date of
initiation. Section 733(b)(1)(A) of the
Act and 19 CFR 351.205(b)(1) states that
the Department will make a preliminary
determination no later than 140 days
after the date of the initiation (i.e.,
January 7, 2014), not 140 days after the
publication date of the initiation.
Accordingly, the preliminary
determination of this antidumping duty
investigation is currently due no later
than May 27, 2014.
Pursuant to section 733(c)(1)(B) of the
Act and 19 CFR 351.205(b)(2), the
Department concludes that the parties
involved in this investigation are
cooperating and determines that this
case is extraordinarily complicated by
reason of the number and complexity of
the transactions to be investigated and
adjustments to be considered and the
number of firms whose activities must
be investigated. The Department
determines that a 50-day postponement
of the preliminary determination is
needed in order to provide the
Department with sufficient time to
review and analyze questionnaire
responses and issue appropriate
requests for clarification and additional
information.
For the reasons stated above, the
Department, in accordance with section
733(c)(1)(B) of the Act, is postponing the
deadline for the preliminary
determination to no later than 190 days
after the date on which the Department
initiated this investigation. Therefore,
the new deadline for the preliminary
determination is July 16, 2014. In
accordance with section 735(a)(1) of the
Act, the deadline for the final
determination of this investigation will
continue to be 75 days after the date of
the preliminary determination, unless
postponed at a later date.
This notice is issued and published
pursuant to section 733(c)(2) of the Act
and 19 CFR 351.205(f)(1).

and received a response to this
supplemental questionnaire on
December 23, 2013. Between December

Department conducted sales and cost
verifications of Camesa, in accordance
with section 782(i) of the Act.2 On
January 13, 2014, Camesa requested that
the Department hold a hearing in this
investigation. On February 26, 2014,
Camesa withdrew its hearing request.
