Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) 203—Moses
Lake, Washington, Proposed Revision
to Production Authority, SGL
Automotive Carbon Fibers, LLC,
(Carbon Fiber), Moses Lake,
Washington
SGL Automotive Carbon Fibers, LLC
(SGLACF), operator of FTZ 203—Site 3,
submitted a notification that proposes a
revision to its existing production
authority at its facility located in Moses
Lake, Washington. The notification
conforming to the requirements of the
regulations of the FTZ Board (15 CFR
400.22) was received on March 30,
2017.
SGLACF previously requested and
received FTZ Board approval for
authority to produce carbon fiber from
foreign-status polyacrylonitrile (PAN)
fiber for export only within Site 3 of
FTZ 203 (see FTZ Board Order 1889, 78
FR 16247, 3/14/2013). Under that
existing authority, SGLACF must export
all carbon fiber made from foreign-status
PAN fiber. In the current request,
SGLACF proposes to replace the exportonly limitation pertaining to carbon
fiber produced from foreign-status PAN
fiber with a requirement for the
company to admit all foreign-status
PAN fiber (duty rate 7.5%) in privileged
foreign (PF) status (19 CFR 146.41).
SGLACF’s notification indicates the
following: Production under FTZ
procedures with the proposed PF status
requirement for admission of foreignstatus PAN fiber could exempt the
company from customs duty payments
on foreign-status PAN fiber used in
export production. For SGLACF’s
domestic sales of carbon fiber, PF status
would not allow the company to elect
the carbon fiber duty rate (free) on the
value of foreign-status PAN fiber used to
produce the carbon fiber, thereby
precluding inverted tariff savings. In
addition, at the time of customs entry
for each shipment of carbon fiber to the
U.S. market, the company would apply
the PAN fiber duty rate (7.5%) on an

Jkt 241001
estimated value of PAN fiber contained
in scrap resulting from the production
process (based on the actual percentage
of scrap from the preceding year’s
production). SGLACF’s scrap rate was
about 1% in 2016. The company is
seeking these changes to its FTZ
authority for ‘‘logistical recordkeeping
purposes.’’
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
30, 2017.
A copy of the notification will be
available for public inspection at the
Office of the Executive Secretary,

Certain Oil Country Tubular Goods
from the Republic of Korea: Final
Results of Antidumping Duty
Administrative Review; 2014–2015
Enforcement and Compliance,
International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: On October 14, 2016, the
Department of Commerce (the
Department) published the preliminary
results of the administrative review of
the antidumping duty order on certain
oil country tubular goods (OCTG) from
the Republic of Korea (Korea). The
period of review (POR) is July 18, 2014,
through August 31, 2015. Based on our
analysis of the comments received, we
have made certain changes to the
margin calculations, and, therefore, the
final results differ from the preliminary
results. The final weighted-average
dumping margins are listed below in the
section ‘‘Final Results of Review.’’
Further, we continue to find that certain
companies had no reviewable
shipments of subject merchandise
during the POR.

Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) 203--Moses Lake, Washington, Proposed
Revision to Production Authority, SGL Automotive Carbon Fibers, LLC,

SGL Automotive Carbon Fibers, LLC (SGLACF), operator of FTZ 203--
Site 3, submitted a notification that proposes a revision to its
existing production authority at its facility located in Moses Lake,
Washington. The notification conforming to the requirements of the

SGLACF previously requested and received FTZ Board approval for
authority to produce carbon fiber from foreign-status polyacrylonitrile

Order 1889, 78 FR 16247, 3/14/2013). Under that existing authority,
SGLACF must export all carbon fiber made from foreign-status PAN fiber.
In the current request, SGLACF proposes to replace the export-only
limitation pertaining to carbon fiber produced from foreign-status PAN
fiber with a requirement for the company to admit all foreign-status
PAN fiber (duty rate 7.5%) in privileged foreign (PF) status (19 CFR

SGLACF's notification indicates the following: Production under FTZ
procedures with the proposed PF status requirement for admission of

fiber contained in scrap resulting from the production process (based
