The application was submitted pursuant to the Foreign-Trade Zones Act, as amended (19 U.S.C. 81a–81u), and the regulations of the Board (15 CFR part 400). It was formally docketed on June 22, 2021. FTZ 145 was approved by the FTZ Board on January 7, 1988 (Board Order 370, 53 FR 1503, January 20, 1988) and expanded on March 25, 1996 (Board Order 809, 61 FR 15217, April 5, 1996). The current zone includes the following sites: Site 1 (262 acres)—Shreveport Industrial Park, 2929 Baird Road, Shreveport; and, Site 2 (2,000 acres)— Port of Shreveport-Bossier Terminal Complex, 6000 Doug Attaway Boulevard, Shreveport. The grantee’s proposed service area under the ASF would be Caddo and Bossier Parishes, Louisiana, as described in the application. If approved, the grantee would be able to serve sites throughout the service area based on companies’ needs for FTZ designation. The application indicates that the proposed service area is within and adjacent to the Shreveport Customs and Border Protection port of entry. The applicant is requesting authority to reorganize its existing zone to include both of the existing sites as ‘‘magnet’’ sites. The ASF allows for the possible exemption of one magnet site from the ‘‘sunset’’ time limits that generally apply to sites under the ASF, and the applicant proposes that Site 2 be so exempted. No subzones/usage-driven sites are being requested at this time. The application would have no impact on FTZ 145’s previously authorized subzones. In accordance with the FTZ Board’s regulations, Camille Evans of the FTZ Staff is designated examiner to evaluate and analyze the facts and information presented in the application and case record and to report findings and recommendations to the FTZ Board. Public comment is invited from interested parties. Submissions shall be addressed to the FTZ Board’s Executive Secretary and sent to: ftz@trade.gov. The closing period for their receipt is August 27, 2021. Rebuttal comments in response to material submitted during the foregoing period may be submitted during the subsequent 15-day period to September 13, 2021. A copy of the application will be available for public inspection in the ‘‘Reading Room’’ section of the FTZ Board’s website, which is accessible via www.trade.gov/ftz.

Case and rebuttal briefs should be filed using ACCESS 12 and must be served on interested parties.13 Note that Commerce has temporarily modified certain of its requirements for serving documents containing business proprietary information, until further notice.14 Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), interested parties who wish to request a hearing must submit a written request to the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance, filed electronically via ACCESS. An electronically-filed document must be received successfully in its entirety by Commerce’s electronic records system, ACCESS, by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time within 30 days after the date of publication of this notice. 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 and rebuttal briefs. If a request for a hearing is made, Commerce intends to hold the hearing at a time and date to be determined. Assessment Rates Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), Commerce will determine, and CBP shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries of subject merchandise in accordance with the final results of this review. Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP 35 days after the date of publication of the final results of this administrative review in the Federal Register. For any individually examined respondent whose weighted-average dumping margin is above de minimis (i.e., 0.50 percent), upon completion of the final results, Commerce will calculate importer-specific assessment rates on the basis of the ratio of the total amount of dumping calculated for the importer’s examined sales and the total entered value of sales. Where we do not have entered values for all U.S. sales to a particular importer/customer, we will calculate a per-unit assessment rate by 11 See 19 CFR 351.303 (for general filing requirements). 12 See generally 19 CFR 351.303. 13 See 19 CFR 351.303(f). 14 See Temporary Rule Modifying AD/CVD Service Requirements Due to COVID–19; Extension of Effective Period, 85 FR 41363 (July 10, 2020).

Where either a respondent’s weightedaverage dumping margin is zero or de minimis, or an importer- (or customer-) specific ad valorem rate is zero or de minimis, we will instruct CBP to liquidate appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties.16 For each company which we determined had ‘‘no shipments’’ of the subject merchandise during the POR, upon completion of the final results, we will instruct CBP to liquidate all POR entries associated with that company at the all-others rate if there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction, consistent with Commerce’s reseller policy.17 For entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by each individually examined respondent for which it did not know its merchandise was destined for the United States, we will instruct CBP to liquidate such entries at the all-others rate if there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction. The final results of this review shall be the basis for the assessment of antidumping duties on entries of merchandise covered by the final results of this review and for future deposits of estimated duties, where applicable.18 As noted in the Timken Notice regarding Goodluck, the suspension of liquidation of Goodluck’s entries must continue during the pendency of the process of appealing the Court of International Trade’s ruling. If the ruling is upheld by the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, Commerce will instruct CBP to terminate the suspension of liquidation and liquidate entries produced and exported by Goodluck without regard to antidumping duties. 15 See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). 19 CFR 352.106(c)(2); see also Antidumping Proceeding: Calculation of the Weighted-Average Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping Proceedings; Final Modification, 77 FR 8101, 8103 (February 14, 2012). 17 For a full discussion of this practice, see Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003). 18 See section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act. 16 See E:\FR\FM\28JNN1.SGM 28JNN1 33982 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 121 / Monday, June 28, 2021 / Notices Cash Deposit Requirements The following cash deposit requirements will be effective for all shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date of the finals results of this administrative review, as provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) The cash deposit rate for TII will be equal to the weighted-average dumping margin established in the final results of this administrative review; (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 recentlycompleted segment of this proceeding in which they were reviewed; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this review or the original investigation but the producer is, the cash deposit rate will be the rate established for the most recently completed segment of this proceeding for the producer of the merchandise; (4) the cash deposit rate for all other producers or exporters will continue to be 5.87 percent,19 the allothers rate established in the less-thanfair-value investigation.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On June 11, 2018, Commerce published the antidumping duty order on 
cold-drawn mechanical tubing from India.\1\ On August 6, 2020, in 
accordance with 19 CFR 351.221(c)(i), Commerce initiated an 
administrative review of the Order, covering three producers/
exporters.\2\ On October 7, 2020, Pennar Industries Limited (a 
mandatory respondent) withdrew its request for administrative review of 
itself.\3\ Based on this request, we rescinded this review with respect 
to Pennar Industries Limited, in accordance with 19 CFR 
351.213(d)(1).\4\ The administrative review remains active with respect 
to the two remaining companies for which a review was initiated, i.e., 
Goodluck India Limited (Goodluck) \5\ and Tube Products of India, Ltd., 
a unit of Tube Investments of India Limited (collectively, TII). For 
details regarding the events that followed the initiation of this 
review, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.\6\

not exported, by Goodluck, and/or entries that were exported, but 
not produced, by Goodluck. Pursuant to a Court of International 
Trade decision, effective May 10, 2020, Commerce excluded from the 
antidumping duty order certain cold-drawn mechanical tubing of 
carbon and alloy steel that was produced and exported by Goodluck.

Preliminary Determination of No Shipments

    We preliminarily determine that Goodluck had no shipments of the 
subject merchandise to the United States during the POR.\8\ Consistent 
with its practice, Commerce finds that it is not appropriate to 
preliminarily rescind the review with respect to Goodluck, but rather 
to complete the review and issue appropriate instructions to U.S. 
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) based on the final results of this 
review.

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), interested parties who wish to 
request a hearing must submit a written request to the Assistant 
Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance, filed electronically via 
ACCESS. An electronically-filed document must be received successfully 
in its entirety by Commerce's electronic records system, ACCESS, by 
5:00 p.m. Eastern Time within 30 days after the date of publication of 
this notice. 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 and rebuttal briefs. If a request 
for a hearing is made, Commerce intends to hold the hearing at a time 
and date to be determined.

Assessment Rates

    Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 
351.212(b)(1), Commerce will determine, and CBP shall assess, 
antidumping duties on all appropriate entries of subject merchandise in 
accordance with the final results of this review. Commerce intends to 
issue assessment instructions to CBP 35 days after the date of 
publication of the final results of this administrative review in the 
Federal Register.
    For any individually examined respondent whose weighted-average 
dumping margin is above de minimis (i.e., 0.50 percent), upon 
completion of the final results, Commerce will calculate importer-
specific assessment rates on the basis of the ratio of the total amount 
of dumping calculated for the importer's examined sales and the total 
entered value of sales. Where we do not have entered values for all 
U.S. sales to a particular importer/customer, we will calculate a per-
unit assessment rate by aggregating the antidumping duties due for all 
U.S. sales to that importer (or customer) and dividing this amount by 
the total quantity sold to that importer (or customer).\15\ To 
determine whether the duty assessment rates are de minimis, in 
accordance with the requirement set forth in 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2), we 
calculate importer- (or customer-) specific ad valorem ratios based on 
the estimated entered value. Where either a respondent's weighted-
average dumping margin is zero or de minimis, or an importer- (or 
customer-) specific ad valorem rate is zero or de minimis, we will 
instruct CBP to liquidate appropriate entries without regard to 
antidumping duties.\16\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \15\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
    \16\ See 19 CFR 352.106(c)(2); see also Antidumping Proceeding: 
Calculation of the Weighted-Average Dumping Margin and Assessment 
Rate in Certain Antidumping Proceedings; Final Modification, 77 FR 
8101, 8103 (February 14, 2012).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    For each company which we determined had ``no shipments'' of the 
subject merchandise during the POR, upon completion of the final 
results, we will instruct CBP to liquidate all POR entries associated 
with that company at the all-others rate if there is no rate for the 
intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction, consistent with 
Commerce's reseller policy.\17\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \17\ For a full discussion of this practice, see Antidumping and 
Countervailing Duty Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 
68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    For entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by each 
individually examined respondent for which it did not know its 
merchandise was destined for the United States, we will instruct CBP to 
liquidate such entries at the all-others rate if there is no rate for 
the intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction. The final 
results of this review shall be the basis for the assessment of 
antidumping duties on entries of merchandise covered by the final 
results of this review and for future deposits of estimated duties, 
where applicable.\18\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \18\ See section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    As noted in the Timken Notice regarding Goodluck, the suspension of 
liquidation of Goodluck's entries must continue during the pendency of 
the process of appealing the Court of International Trade's ruling. If 
the ruling is upheld by the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, 
Commerce will instruct CBP to terminate the suspension of liquidation 
and liquidate entries produced and exported by Goodluck without regard 
to antidumping duties.

Cash Deposit Requirements

    The following cash deposit requirements will be effective for all 
shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from 
warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date of the 
finals results of this administrative review, as provided by section 
751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) The cash deposit rate for TII will be 
equal to the weighted-average dumping margin established in the final 
results of this administrative review; (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 recently-completed 
segment of this proceeding in which they were reviewed; (3) if the 
exporter is not a firm covered in this review or the original 
investigation but the producer is, the cash deposit rate will be the 
rate established for the most recently completed segment of this 
proceeding for the producer of the merchandise; (4) the cash deposit 
rate for all other producers or exporters will continue to be 5.87 
percent,\19\ the all-others rate established in the less-than-fair-
value investigation. These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, 
shall remain in effect until further notice.

Final Results of Review

    Unless otherwise extended, Commerce intends to issue the final 
results of this administrative review, including the results of our 
analysis of issues raised by the parties in the written comments, 
within 120 days of publication of these preliminary results in the 
Federal Register, pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 
CFR 351.213(h)(1).

Notification to Importers

    This notice also 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 POR. Failure to comply with this 
requirement could result in Commerce's presumption that reimbursement 
of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of doubled 
antidumping duties.

Notification to Interested Parties

    These preliminary results are being issued and published in 
accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 
351.221(b)(4).

    Dated: June 22, 2021.
James Maeder,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
