Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) 122—Corpus
Christi, Texas, Notification of
Proposed Production Activity,
Voestalpine Texas, LLC, (Hot
Briquetted Iron), Portland, Texas
The Port of Corpus Christi Authority,
grantee of FTZ 122, submitted a
notification of proposed production
activity to the FTZ Board on behalf of
voestalpine Texas, LLC (voestalpine),
located in Portland, Texas. The
notification conforming to the
requirements of the regulations of the
FTZ Board (15 CFR 400.22) was
received on May 22, 2015.
The voestalpine facility is located
within Subzone 122T in Portland,
Texas. The facility is currently under
construction and will be used for the
production of hot briquetted iron using
foreign-sourced iron ore pellets.
Pursuant to 15 CFR 400.14(b), FTZ
activity would be limited to the specific
foreign-status materials and specific
finished product described in the
submitted notification (as described
below) and subsequently authorized by
the FTZ Board.
Production under FTZ procedures
could exempt voestalpine from customs
duty payments on the foreign-status iron
ore pellets (duty free) used in export
production. On its domestic sales,
voestalpine would be able to choose the
duty rate during customs entry
procedures that applies to the hot
briquetted iron (duty free) for the
foreign-status iron ore pellets. The
submission indicates that most of the
plant’s output will be exported.
Customs duties also could possibly be
deferred or reduced on foreign-status
production equipment.
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 July
15, 2015.
A copy of the notification will be
available for public inspection at the

Assessment Rates
Upon issuance of the final results, the
Department shall determine and CBP
shall assess antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries covered by this
review. If TFM’s weighted-average
dumping margin continues to be above
de minimis in the final results of this
review, we will calculate importerspecific assessment rates on the basis of
the ratio of the total amount of
antidumping duties calculated for each
importer’s examined sales and the total
entered value of the sales in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). If TFM’s
weighted-average dumping margin is
zero or de minimis in the final results
of review, we will instruct CBP not to
assess duties on any of its entries in
accordance with the Final Modification
for Reviews, i.e., ‘‘{w}here the weightedaverage margin of dumping for the
exporter is determined to be zero or de
minimis, no antidumping duties will be
assessed.’’ 6
For entries of subject merchandise
during the POR produced by TFM for
which it did not know its merchandise
was destined for the United States, we

final results of this review.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit
requirements will be effective upon

of administrative review for all
shipments of OBAs from Taiwan

regarding the reimbursement of
antidumping duties prior to liquidation
of the relevant entries during this

results in accordance with sections
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19
CFR 351.213(h)(1).

general filing requirements).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), interested parties who wish to
request a hearing, or to participate if one is requested, must submit a
written request to the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and
Compliance. All documents must be filed electronically using ACCESS
which is available to registered users at https://access.trade.gov. An
electronically filed request must be received successfully in its
entirety by ACCESS by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time, within 30 days after the
date of publication of this notice.\5\ Requests should contain: (1) The
party's name, address and telephone number; (2) the number of
participants; and (3) a list of issues to be discussed. Issues raised
in the hearing will be limited to those raised in the respective case
briefs.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ See 19 CFR 351.310(c).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Department intends to issue the final results of this
administrative review, including the results of its analysis of the
issues raised in any written briefs, not later than 120 days after the
date of publication of this notice, pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of
the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(1).
Assessment Rates
Upon issuance of the final results, the Department shall determine
and CBP shall assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries
covered by this review. If TFM's weighted-average dumping margin
continues to be above de minimis in the final results of this review,
we will calculate importer-specific assessment rates on the basis of
the ratio of the total amount of antidumping duties calculated for each
importer's examined sales and the total entered value of the sales in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). If TFM's weighted-average dumping
margin is zero or de minimis in the final results of review, we will
instruct CBP not to assess duties on any of its entries in accordance
with the Final Modification for Reviews, i.e., ``{w{time} here the
weighted-average margin of dumping for the exporter is determined to be
zero or de minimis, no antidumping duties will be assessed.'' \6\

Average Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping
Proceedings: Final Modification, 77 FR 8101, 8102 (February 14,
2012).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
For entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by TFM
for which it did not know its merchandise was destined for the United
States, we will instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed entries at the
all-others rate if there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies)
involved in the transaction.\7\

Duty Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 FR 23954 (May

We intend to issue instructions to CBP 15 days after publication of
the final results of this review.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon
publication of the notice of final results of administrative review for
all shipments of OBAs from Taiwan entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the date of publication as provided by
section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) The cash deposit rate for TFM will
be equal to the weighted-average dumping margin established in the
final results of this administrative review; (2) if the exporter is not
a firm covered in this review, a prior review, or the original
investigation but the manufacturer is, the cash deposit rate will be
the rate established for the manufacturer of the merchandise for the
most recently completed segment of this proceeding; (3) the cash
deposit rate for all other manufacturers or exporters will continue to
be 6.19 percent.\8\ These cash deposit requirements, when imposed,
shall remain in effect until further notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\8\ The all-others rate established in the Order.

Notification to Importers
This notice 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 Secretary's presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping duties.
Notification to Interested Parties
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(h)(1).
Dated: May 29, 2015.
Paul Piquado,
Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
