[FR Doc. 2021–16873 Filed 8–6–21; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE P DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE Foreign-Trade Zones Board [B–56–2021] lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1 Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) 38— Charleston, South Carolina; Notification of Proposed Production Activity, BMW Manufacturing Company, LLC (Passenger Motor Vehicles), Spartanburg, South Carolina BMW Manufacturing Company, LLC (BMW MC) submitted a notification of proposed production activity to the FTZ Board for its facility in Spartanburg, South Carolina. The notification conforming to the requirements of the regulations of the FTZ Board (15 CFR 400.22) was received on July 28, 2021. BMW MC already has authority to produce gasoline and diesel-powered motor vehicles, gasoline-powered hybrid plug-in electric motor vehicles, motor vehicle bodies, stamped body parts, and lithium-ion batteries within Subzone 38A. The current request would add finished products and a foreign status component to the scope of authority. Pursuant to 15 CFR 400.14(b), VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:26 Aug 06, 2021 Jkt 253001 additional FTZ authority would be limited to the specific foreign-status component 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 BMW MC from customs duty payments on the foreign-status 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, BMW MC would be able to choose the duty rates during customs entry procedures that apply to motor vehicle door assemblies and motor vehicle hatch assemblies (duty rate 2.5%). BMW MC 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 component sourced from abroad is curved thin film transistor liquid crystal displays (duty-free). The request indicates that the component may be subject to 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 September 20, 2021. 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.

Issues and Decision Memorandum.

Analysis of Comments Received

    All issues raised in the case and rebuttal briefs filed by parties 
in the administrative review are addressed in the Issues and Decision 
Memorandum, which is hereby adopted by this notice. A list of the 
issues that parties raised and to which we responded in the Issues and

Changes Since the Preliminary Results

    Based on a review of the record and comments received from 
interested parties regarding our Preliminary Results, we made no 
changes to the Preliminary Results of this administrative review.

Final Results of Review

    We continue to find that no companies subject to this review have 
demonstrated their eligibility for separate rate status, and, 
therefore, all companies subject to this review are part of the China-
wide entity. Because we are not conducting a review of the China-wide 
entity, the China-wide entity's entries are not subject to the review, 
and the rate applicable to the China-wide entity is not subject to 
change.\6\ The China-wide entity rate remains 326.15 percent.\7\

Disclosure

    Normally, Commerce discloses the calculations used in its analysis 
to parties in a review within five days of the date of publication of 
the notice of final results, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). 
However, in this case, there are no calculations on the record to 
disclose.

Assessment Rates

    Commerce shall determine, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
(CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries in 
accordance with section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b). 
Because we determined that all companies under review are not eligible 
for a separate rate and are part of the China-wide entity, we will 
instruct CBP to apply an ad valorem assessment of 326.15 percent to all 
entries of subject merchandise during the POR that were producer and/or 
exported by the following companies: Dava Industry Co., Ltd.; Deyuan 
Panmin International Limited; Guangzhou Hercules Quartz Stone Co., 
Ltd.; Heshan City Nande Stone Co., Ltd.; and Xiamen Deyuan Panmin 
Trading Co., Ltd.
    We intend to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier than 
35 days after the date of publication of the final results of this 
review in the Federal Register. If a timely summons is filed at the 
U.S. Court of International Trade, the assessment instructions will 
direct CBP not to liquidate relevant entries until the time for parties 
to file a request for a statutory injunction has expired (i.e., within 
90 days of publication).

Cash Deposit Requirements

    The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon 
publication of the final results of this review for shipments of the 
subject merchandise from China entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 
for consumption on or after the publication date, as provided by 
sections 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For previously investigated or 
reviewed Chinese or non-Chinese exporters not listed above that 
received a separate rate in a prior segment of this proceeding, the 
cash deposit rate will continue to be the existing exporter-specific 
rate; (2) for all Chinese exporters of subject merchandise that have 
not been found to be entitled to a separate rate, the cash deposit rate 
will be that for the China-wide entity (i.e., 326.15 percent); and (3) 
for all non-Chinese exporters of subject merchandise which have not 
received their own rate, the cash deposit rate will be the rate 
applicable to the Chinese exporter that supplied that non-Chinese 
exporter. These deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in 
effect until further notice.

Notification to Importers

    This notice also serves as a final reminder to importers of their 
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f) to file a certificate regarding 
the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation of the 
relevant entries during this review period. Failure to comply with this 
requirement could result in the Secretary's presumption that 
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent 
assessment of double antidumping duties.

Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Order

    This notice also serves as a final 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). Timely written 
notification of return/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
