Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) 141—
Rochester, New York; Notification of
Proposed Production Activity;
Eastman Kodak Company; (One-Time
Use Cameras); Rochester, New York
Eastman Kodak Company (Eastman
Kodak) submitted a notification of
proposed production activity to the FTZ
Board for its facility in Rochester, New
York. The notification conforming to the
requirements of the regulations of the
FTZ Board (15 CFR 400.22) was
received on September 26, 2019.
Eastman Kodak already has authority
to produce printer cartridges and
thermal media within FTZ 141. The
current request would add a finished

product and a foreign status component
to the scope of authority. Pursuant to 15
CFR 400.14(b), additional FTZ authority
would be limited to the specific foreignstatus component 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 Eastman Kodak from
customs duty payments on the foreignstatus materials/components used in
export production. On its domestic
sales, for the foreign-status materials/
components noted below and in the
existing scope of authority, Eastman
Kodak would be able to choose the duty
rates during customs entry procedures
that apply to underwater one-time use
cameras (duty-free). Eastman Kodak
would be able to avoid duty on foreignstatus components which become scrap/
waste. Customs duties also could
possibly be deferred or reduced on
foreign-status production equipment.
The component sourced from abroad
is a non-flash one-time use camera
(duty-free). The request indicates that
one-time use cameras are subject to
special duties under Section 301 of the
Trade Act of 1974 (Section 301),
depending on the country of origin. The
applicable Section 301 decisions require
subject merchandise to be admitted to
FTZs in privileged foreign status (19
CFR 146.41).
Public comment is invited from
interested parties. Submissions shall be
addressed to the Board’s Executive
Secretary and sent to: ftz@trade.gov. The
closing period for their receipt is
November 20, 2019.

available for public inspection in the

Welded Large Diameter Line Pipe From
Japan: Continuation of Antidumping
Duty Order
Enforcement and Compliance,
International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: As a result of the
determinations by the Department of
Commerce (Commerce) and the
International Trade Commission (ITC)
that revocation of the antidumping duty
(AD) order on welded large diameter
line pipe (line pipe) from Japan would
likely lead to a continuation or
recurrence of dumping and material
injury to an industry in the United
States, Commerce is publishing this
notice of continuation of the AD order.
DATES: Applicable October 11, 2019.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background
On September 11, 2018, Commerce
published the notice of initiation of the
third sunset review of the AD order on
line pipe from Japan, pursuant to
section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930,
as amended (the Act).1 As a result of the
review, Commerce determined that
revocation of the AD order on line pipe
from Japan would likely lead to a
continuation or recurrence of dumping.2
Commerce, therefore, notified the ITC of
the magnitude of the dumping margins
likely to prevail should the AD order be
revoked. On October 3, 2019, the ITC
published notice of its determination,
pursuant to sections 751(c) and 752(a) of
the Act, that revocation of the AD order
on line pipe from Japan would likely
lead to a continuation or recurrence of
material injury to an industry in the
United States within a reasonably
foreseeable time.3
