Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 95 / Friday, May 15, 2020 / Notices
Production under FTZ procedures
could exempt CoLinx from customs
duty payments on the foreign-status
materials/components used in export
production (estimated 4 percent of
production). On its domestic sales, for
the foreign-status materials/components
noted below and in the existing scope
of authority, CoLinx would be able to
choose the duty rates during customs
entry procedures that apply to kits of
tapered roller bearing cup/cone
assemblies and gearheads (duty rates,
2.5% or 5.8%). CoLinx would be able to
avoid duty on foreign-status
components which become scrap/waste.
Customs duties also could possibly be
deferred or reduced on foreign-status
production equipment.
The materials/components sourced
from abroad include tapered roller
bearing cones, inner and outer races for
tapered roller bearings, and fixed ratio
speed changers (duty rates, 2.5% or
5.8%). The request indicates that certain
tapered roller bearings are subject to an
antidumping/countervailing duty (AD/
CVD) order if imported from China. The
FTZ Board’s regulations (15 CFR
400.14(e)) require that merchandise
subject to AD/CVD orders, or items
which would be otherwise subject to
suspension of liquidation under AD/
CVD procedures if they entered U.S.
customs territory, be admitted to the
zone in privileged foreign status (19
CFR 146.41). The request also 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 Section 301 decisions
require subject merchandise to be
admitted to FTZs in privileged foreign
status.
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 June
24, 2020.
A copy of the notification will be
available for public inspection in the
‘‘Reading Room’’ section of the Board’s
website, which is accessible via
www.trade.gov/ftz.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On August 12, 2016, Commerce
published its Final Determination in the
LTFV investigation of hot-rolled steel
from Turkey.1 Subsequently, on October
3, 2016, Commerce published its
Amended Final Determination and
Order.2 As reflected in Commerce’s
Amended Final Determination,
Commerce calculated estimated
weighted-average dumping margins of
6.77 percent for C
¸ olakog˘lu, 4.15 percent
for Erdemir, and 6.41 percent for all
other producers and exporters of subject
merchandise.3
C
¸ olakog˘lu and Erdemir appealed
Commerce’s Final Determination, as
amended by the Amended Final
Determination, to the CIT. On March 22,
2018, the CIT remanded the Amended
Final Determination for Commerce to
explain or reconsider: (1) Its treatment

of Erdemir’s home market date of sale;
(2) C
¸ olakog˘lu’s request for a duty
drawback adjustment; and (3)
Commerce’s rejection of C
¸ olakog˘lu’s
corrections to international ocean
freight expenses presented at
verification.4 On July 20, 2018,
Commerce issued its first results of
redetermination, in which it determined
to: (1) Use the ‘‘click date’’ of the proforma invoice as the date of sale for
Erdemir’s home market sales; (2) grant
C
¸ olakog˘lu’s request for a duty drawback
adjustment; and (3) continue to reject
C
¸ olakog˘lu’s corrections to its reported
international ocean freight expenses,
which were presented at verification.5
As a result of the changes in the First
Redetermination, Commerce calculated
estimated weighted-average dumping
margins of 5.70 percent for C
¸ olakog˘lu,
2.73 percent for Erdemir, and 5.29
percent for all other producers and
exporters of subject merchandise.6
On December 27, 2018, in its Second
Remand Order, the CIT sustained
Commerce’s revised home market date
of sale for Erdemir and its determination
not to accept corrections to C
¸ olakog˘lu’s
international ocean freight expenses that
had been presented at verification, and
remanded Commerce’s methodology for
calculating C
¸ olakog˘lu’s duty drawback
adjustment.7 Specifically, the CIT found
that Commerce’s calculation
methodology of allocating exempted
duties over the total cost of sales for hotrolled steel to calculate C
¸ olakog˘lu’s duty
drawback adjustment was inconsistent
with the statute.8
On June 3, 2019, Commerce issued its
second results of redetermination, in
which we increased C
¸ olakog˘lu’s U.S.
price by the full amount of duties that
were drawn back or forgiven and then
added the same per-unit duty amount to
normal value as a circumstance of sale
adjustment.9 As a result of the changes
to our duty drawback methodology in
the Second Redetermination, Commerce
calculated estimated weighted-average
dumping margins of 6.27 percent for
C
¸ olakog˘lu, and 5.79 percent for all other
