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. PO 00000 Frm 00010 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 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 June 16, 2014. A copy of the notification will be available for public inspection at the Office of the Executive Secretary, Foreign-Trade Zones Board, Room 21013, U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20230–0002, and in the ‘‘Reading Room’’ section of the FTZ Board’s Web site, which is accessible via www.trade.gov/ftz.

AGENCY: SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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 1 See Calcium Hypochlorite from the People’s Republic of China: Initiation of Antidumping Duty Investigation, 79 FR 2410 (January 14, 2014).

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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

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

[[Page 25571]]

Act'') and 19 CFR 351.205(b)(1), unless 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).
