Download as PDF lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1 51652 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 162 / Tuesday, August 23, 2022 / Notices adopted by the FTZ Board (15 CFR 400.2(c)). The ASF is an option for grantees for the establishment or reorganization of zones and can permit significantly greater flexibility in the designation of new ‘‘subzones’’ or ‘‘usage-driven’’ FTZ sites for operators/ users located within a grantee’s ‘‘service area’’ in the context of the FTZ Board’s standard 2,000-acre activation limit for a zone project. The application was submitted pursuant to the provisions of 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 August 17, 2022. The applicant is authorized to make the proposal under Chapter 55C of the North Carolina State Enabling Legislation. The proposed zone would be the first zone in North Carolina for the Greenville-Spartanburg, South Carolina Customs and Border Protection (CBP) port of entry. The applicant’s proposed service area under the ASF would be all of Henderson County, North Carolina as well as portions of Buncombe, Haywood, Jackson and Transylvania Counties, North Carolina, as described in the application. If approved, the applicant 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 adjacent to the Greenville-Spartanburg CBP port of entry. Initially, the proposed zone would include one ‘‘usage-driven’’ site located in Buncombe County: Proposed Site 1 (1.97 acres)—Moog Music Inc., 160 Broadway Street, Asheville. The application indicates a need for zone services in western North Carolina. Several firms have indicated an interest in using zone procedures for warehousing/distribution activities for a variety of products. Specific production approvals are not being sought at this time. Such requests would be made to the FTZ Board on a case-by-case basis. In accordance with the FTZ Board’s regulations, Christopher Kemp 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 October 24, 2022. Rebuttal comments in response to material submitted during the foregoing period may be submitted during the subsequent 15-day period to November 7, 2022. VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:53 Aug 22, 2022 Jkt 256001 A copy of the application will be available for public inspection in the ‘‘Online FTZ Information Section’’ section of the FTZ Board’s website, which is accessible via www.trade.gov/ ftz.

Assessment Rates Commerce shall determine, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries covered by this review, in accordance with section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days after the date of publication of these final results 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). For TFM, we calculated importerspecific assessment rates on the basis of the ratio of the total amount of dumping calculated for each importer’s examined sales and the total entered value of those sales in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).6 Where an importerspecific assessment rate is de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent), the entries by that importer will be liquidated without reference to antidumping duties. For entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by TFM for which it did not know that its merchandise was destined for the United States, we will instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed entries at the allothers rate (i.e., 6.19 percent) 7 if there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction.8 Cash Deposit Requirements lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1 The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon publication in the Federal Register of this notice for all shipments of OBAs 6 In these final results, Commerce applied the assessment rate calculation method adopted in Antidumping Proceedings: Calculation of the Weighted-Average Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping Duty Proceedings; Final Modification, 77 FR 8101 (February 14, 2012). 7 See Order, 77 FR at 27420. 8 See Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).

notice. The Issues and Decision Memorandum is a public document and is 
on file electronically via Enforcement and Compliance's Antidumping and

Changes Since the Preliminary Results

    Based on our review of the record and TFM's comments, we made a 
change to the preliminary margin calculation for the company. For a 
discussion of this change, see the ``Changes Since the Preliminary 
Results'' section of the Issues and Decision Memorandum.

Final Results of Review

    We determine that the following weighted-average dumping margin 
exists for the period May 1, 2020, through April 30, 2021:

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Disclosure

    We intend to disclose the calculations performed for TFM in these 
final results to parties in this proceeding within five days after the 
date of any public announcement or, if there is no public announcement, 
within five days after the date of publication of these final results 
in the Federal Register, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).

Assessment Rates

    Commerce shall determine, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
(CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries 
covered by this review, in accordance with section 751(a)(2)(C) of the 
Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). Commerce intends to issue assessment 
instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days after the date of 
publication of these final results 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).
    For TFM, we calculated importer-specific assessment rates on the 
basis of the ratio of the total amount of dumping calculated for each 
importer's examined sales and the total entered value of those sales in 
accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).\6\ Where an importer-specific 
assessment rate is de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent), the 
entries by that importer will be liquidated without reference to 
antidumping duties.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ In these final results, Commerce applied the assessment rate 
calculation method adopted in Antidumping Proceedings: Calculation 
of the Weighted-Average Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate in 
Certain Antidumping Duty Proceedings; Final Modification, 77 FR 8101 
(February 14, 2012).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    For entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by TFM 
for which it did not know that its merchandise was destined for the 
United States, we will instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed entries at 
the all-others rate (i.e., 6.19 percent) \7\ if there is no rate for 
the intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ See Order, 77 FR at 27420.

Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).

Cash Deposit Requirements

    The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon 
publication in the Federal Register of this notice for all shipments of 
OBAs from Taiwan entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption 
on or after the date of publication as provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) 
of the Act: (1) the cash deposit rate for TFM will be 11.92 percent, 
the weighted-average dumping margin established in these final results; 
(2) for previously investigated companies not subject to this review, 
the cash deposit rate will continue to be the company-specific rate 
published in the most recently completed segment of this proceeding in 
which the company participated; (3) if the exporter is not a firm 
covered in this review, a prior review, or the original less-than-fair-
value (LTFV) investigation, but the producer is, the cash deposit rate 
will be the rate established in the most recent completed segment for 
the producer of the merchandise; (4) the cash deposit rate for all 
other producers or exporters will continue to be 6.19 percent, the all-
others rate established in the LTFV investigation.\9\ These cash 
deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until 
further notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ See Order, 77 FR at 27420.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 prior to liquidation 
of the relevant entries during this review period. 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.

Administrative Protective Order

    This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to an 
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information 
disclosed under the 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/destruction 
of APO materials or conversion to judicial protective order is hereby 
requested. Failure to comply with the regulations and terms of an APO 
is a violation which is subject to sanction.

Notification to Interested Parties

    We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act.

    Dated: August 17, 2022.
