Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) 52—
Hauppauge, New York, Notification of
Proposed Production Activity, Regent
Tek Industries, Inc. (Road Marking
Material), Shirley, New York
Regent Tek Industries, Inc. (Regent
Tek), submitted a notification of
proposed production activity to the FTZ
Board for its facility in Shirley, New
York. The notification conforming to the
requirements of the regulations of the
FTZ Board (15 CFR 400.22) was
received on January 31, 2020.
Regent Tek’s facility is located within
FTZ 52. The facility is used for the
production of thermoplastic road
marking material. Pursuant to 15 CFR
400.14(b), FTZ activity would be limited
to the specific foreign-status materials
and components 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 Regent Tek from customs
duty payments on the foreign-status
components used in export production.
On its domestic sales, for the foreignstatus materials/components noted
below, Regent Tek would be able to
choose the duty rates during customs
entry procedures that apply to
thermoplastic granular road marking
material (duty rate 3.2%). Regent Tek
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 components and materials
sourced from abroad include: Titanium
dioxide (TiO2); glass beads (M247 Type
1); resins—pentaerythritol ester of rosin
and alkyd gum-based resin; and, stearic
acid—saturated fatty acid (duty rate
ranges from 2.1c/kg + 3.8% to 6%). The
request indicates that certain materials/
components 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

Background
lotter on DSKBCFDHB2PROD with NOTICES
Commerce published the initiation of
this administrative review on August
10, 2018.1 These final results cover six
companies for which an administrative
review was initiated and not rescinded.
On August 13, 2019, Commerce
published the Preliminary Results of
this administrative review and invited
interested parties to comment on the
Preliminary Results.2 On November 26,
2019, Weldbend Corporation and Boltex

Scope of the Order 9
The scope of the Order covers
finished carbon steel flanges. Finished
carbon steel flanges are currently
classified under subheadings
7307.91.5010 and 7307.91.5050 of the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTSUS). They may also
be entered under HTSUS subheadings
7307.91.5030 and 7307.91.5070. While
HTSUS subheadings are provided for
convenience and customs purposes, the
written description of the scope of this
Order is dispositive. A full description
of the scope of the Order is contained
in the Issues and Decision
Memorandum,10 which is incorporated
herein by reference. The Issues and
Decision Memorandum is a public
document and is on file electronically
via Enforcement and Compliance’s
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Centralized Electronic Service System
(ACCESS). ACCESS is available to
registered users at https://
access.trade.gov and is available to all
parties in the Central Records Unit,
Room B8024 of the main Commerce
building. In addition, a complete
version of the Issues and Decision
Memorandum can be accessed directly

Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised in the case and
rebuttal briefs filed by parties in this
review are addressed in the Issues and
Decision Memorandum. A list of the
issues which parties raised, and to
which we respond in the Issues and
Decision Memorandum, follows in the
appendix to this notice.
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on our analysis of the
comments received, and for the reasons
explained in the Issues and Decision
Memorandum, Commerce made no
changes in methodology to the

Flanges from Spain: Extension of Time Limit for
Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative

Preliminary Results. However, based on
our analysis of the comments received,
and for the reasons explained in the
Issues and Decision Memorandum, we
made certain changes to ULMA’s margin
calculation.
Final Results of Administrative Review
For these final results, we determine
that the following weighted-average
dumping margins exist for the period
February 8, 2017 through May 31, 2018:
Exporter/manufacturer
ULMA Forja, S.Coop ..................

Rate for Non-Selected Respondents
For the rate for non-selected
respondents in an administrative
review, generally, Commerce looks to
section 735(c)(5) of the Act, which
provides instructions for calculating the
all-others rate in a market economy
investigation. Under section
735(c)(5)(A) of the Act, the all-others
rate is normally ‘‘an amount equal to the
weighted-average of the estimated
weighted-average dumping margins
established for exporters and producers
individually investigated, excluding any
zero or de minimis margins, and any
margins determined entirely {on the
basis of facts available}.’’ In this
segment of the proceeding, we
calculated a margin for ULMA that was
not zero, de minimis, or based on facts
available. Accordingly, we have applied
the margin calculated for ULMA to the
non-individually examined
respondents.
Assessment
Commerce shall determine and U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
shall assess antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries. Commerce will
instruct CBP to apply an ad valorem
assessment rate of 4.47 percent to all
entries of subject merchandise during
the POR which were produced and/or
exported by ULMA. Commerce will also
instruct CBP to apply an ad valorem
assessment rate of 4.47 percent to all
entries of subject merchandise during
the POR which were produced and/or
exported by Grupo Cunado, Tubacero,
S.L., Ateaciones De Metales
Sinterizados S.A., Transglory S.A., and
Central Y Almacenes. We intend to

Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 29 / Wednesday, February 12, 2020 / Notices
issue assessment instructions directly to
CBP 15 days after publication of the
final results of this review.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following deposit requirements
for estimated antidumping duties will
be effective upon publication of the
notice of these final results of review for
all shipments of flanges from Spain
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the date of
publication as provided by section
751(a)(2) of the Act: (1) The cash deposit
rate for ULMA, Grupo Cunado,
Tubacero, S.L., Ateaciones De Metales
Sinterizados S.A., Transglory S.A., and
Central Y Almacenes, will be 4.47
percent; (2) for merchandise exported by
producers or exporters not covered in
this review but covered in a prior
segment of the proceeding, the cash
deposit rate will continue to be the
company-specific rate published for the
most recent period; (3) if the exporter is
not a firm covered in this review, a prior
review, or the original investigation but
the producer is, then the cash deposit
rate will be the rate established for the
most recent period for the producer of
the merchandise; (4) the cash deposit
rate for all other producers or exporters
will continue to be 18.81 percent,11 the
all-others rate established in the lessthan-fair-value investigation. These cash
deposit requirements shall remain in
effect until further notice.

Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a final reminder
to importers of their responsibility
under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a
certificate regarding the reimbursement
of antidumping duties and/or
countervailing duties prior to
liquidation of the relevant entries
during this POR. Failure to comply with
this requirement could result in
Commerce’s presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties
and/or countervailing duties occurred
and the subsequent assessment of
doubled antidumping duties.
Notification to Interested Parties
Regarding Administrative Protective
Order
This notice also serves as the only
reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective order (APO) of
their responsibility concerning the
disposition of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), which
continues to govern business

All issues raised in the case and rebuttal briefs filed by parties
in this review are addressed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum. A
list of the issues which parties raised, and to which we respond in the
Issues and Decision Memorandum, follows in the appendix to this notice.
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on our analysis of the comments received, and for the reasons
explained in the Issues and Decision Memorandum, Commerce made no
changes in methodology to the Preliminary Results. However, based on
our analysis of the comments received, and for the reasons explained in
the Issues and Decision Memorandum, we made certain changes to ULMA's
margin calculation.
Final Results of Administrative Review
For these final results, we determine that the following weighted-
average dumping margins exist for the period February 8, 2017 through
May 31, 2018:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weighted-
average
Exporter/manufacturer dumping
margin
(percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
ULMA Forja, S.Coop.......................................... 4.47
Grupo Cunado................................................ 4.47
Tubacero, S.L............................................... 4.47
Ateaciones De Metales Sinterizados S.A...................... 4.47
Transglory S.A.............................................. 4.47

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rate for Non-Selected Respondents
For the rate for non-selected respondents in an administrative
review, generally, Commerce looks to section 735(c)(5) of the Act,
which provides instructions for calculating the all-others rate in a
market economy investigation. Under section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act,
the all-others rate is normally ``an amount equal to the weighted-
average of the estimated weighted-average dumping margins established
for exporters and producers individually investigated, excluding any
zero or de minimis margins, and any margins determined entirely {on the
basis of facts available{time} .'' In this segment of the proceeding,
we calculated a margin for ULMA that was not zero, de minimis, or based
on facts available. Accordingly, we have applied the margin calculated
for ULMA to the non-individually examined respondents.
Assessment
Commerce shall determine and U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(CBP) shall assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries.
Commerce will instruct CBP to apply an ad valorem assessment rate of
4.47 percent to all entries of subject merchandise during the POR which
were produced and/or exported by ULMA. Commerce will also instruct CBP
to apply an ad valorem assessment rate of 4.47 percent to all entries
of subject merchandise during the POR which were produced and/or
exported by Grupo Cunado, Tubacero, S.L., Ateaciones De Metales
Sinterizados S.A., Transglory S.A., and Central Y Almacenes. We intend
to
[[Page 7921]]
issue assessment instructions directly to CBP 15 days after publication
of the final results of this review.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following deposit requirements for estimated antidumping duties
will be effective upon publication of the notice of these final results
of review for all shipments of flanges from Spain entered, or withdrawn
from warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of publication as
provided by section 751(a)(2) of the Act: (1) The cash deposit rate for
ULMA, Grupo Cunado, Tubacero, S.L., Ateaciones De Metales Sinterizados
S.A., Transglory S.A., and Central Y Almacenes, will be 4.47 percent;
(2) for merchandise exported by producers or exporters not covered in
this review but covered in a prior segment of the proceeding, the cash
deposit rate will continue to be the company-specific rate published
for the most recent period; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered
in this review, a prior review, or the original investigation but the
producer is, then the cash deposit rate will be the rate established
for the most recent period for the producer of the merchandise; (4) the
cash deposit rate for all other producers or exporters will continue to
be 18.81 percent,\11\ the all-others rate established in the less-than-
fair-value investigation. These cash deposit requirements shall remain
in effect until further notice.

Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a final reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate
regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties and/or countervailing
duties prior to liquidation of the relevant entries during this POR.
Failure to comply with this requirement could result in Commerce's
presumption that reimbursement of antidumping duties and/or
countervailing duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of doubled
antidumping duties.
Notification to Interested Parties Regarding Administrative Protective
Order
This notice also serves as the only reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under
APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), which continues to govern
business proprietary information in this segment of the proceeding.
Timely written notification of the return or destruction of APO
materials or conversion to judicial protective order is hereby
requested. Failure to comply with the regulations and the terms of an
APO is a sanctionable violation.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing notice of these final results in
accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.213(h).
Dated: February 6, 2020.
