Foreign-Trade Zone 2—New Orleans,
Louisiana; Application for
Reorganization (Expansion of Service
Area) Under Alternative Site
Framework
An application has been submitted to
the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) Board by
the Port of New Orleans, grantee of
Foreign-Trade Zone 2, requesting
authority to reorganize the zone to
expand its service area under the
alternative site framework (ASF)
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 ‘‘usagedriven’’ 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. The application was submitted
pursuant to the Foreign-Trade Zones
Act, as amended (19 U.S.C. 81a–81u),
and the regulations of the FTZ Board (15
CFR part 400). It was formally docketed
on December 2, 2024.
FTZ 2 was approved by the FTZ
Board on July 16, 1946 (Board Order 12,
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:31 Dec 04, 2024

11 FR 8235, July 31, 1946) and
reorganized under the ASF on May 13,
2010 (Board Order 1678, 75 FR 28568,
May 21, 2010). The zone currently has
a service area that includes Orleans,
Jefferson and St. Bernard Parishes,
Louisiana.
The applicant is now requesting
authority to expand the service area of
the zone to include St. Tammany Parish,
as described in the application. If
approved, the grantee would be able to
serve sites throughout the expanded
service area based on companies’ needs
for FTZ designation. The application
indicates that the proposed expanded
service area is adjacent to the New
Orleans Customs and Border Protection
Port of Entry.
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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On November 21, 2022, Commerce
published in the Federal Register an
antidumping duty order on OCTG from
Mexico.1 On November 2, 2023,
Commerce published in the Federal
Register a notice of opportunity to
request an administrative review of the
Order for the POR.2 On December 29,
2023, Commerce published the notice of
initiation of this administrative review.3
On July 18, 2024, in accordance with
section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act,
Commerce extended the preliminary
results of review until November 21,
2024.4 On July 22, 2024, Commerce
tolled certain deadlines in this
administrative proceeding by seven
days.5 The deadline for the preliminary
results of review is now November 29,
2024.6
Scope of the Order
The product covered by the Order is
OCTG from Mexico. For a complete
description of the scope of the Order,

the deadline became the next business day (i.e.,

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1),
Commerce will rescind an
administrative review, in whole or in
part, if the parties that requested a
review withdraw the request within 90
days of the date of publication of the
notice of initiation. Commerce received
a request for review of Siderca S.A.I.C.
(Siderca) from United States Steel
Tubular Products, Inc. (USTTP), a
domestic interested party.8 On February
27, 2024, USSTP withdrew its request
for a review of Siderca.9 Because the
request for review was timely
withdrawn for Siderca, and because no
other party requested a review of
Siderca, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.213(d)(1), Commerce is rescinding
this review for Siderca.

Final Results of Review
Unless otherwise extended,
Commerce intends to issue the final
results of this administrative review,
which will include the results of its
analysis of issues raised in any briefs,
within 120 days of publication of these
preliminary results of review, pursuant
to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.
Assessment Rate
Upon completion of this
administrative review, pursuant to
section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act,
Commerce shall determine, and U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
shall assess, antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries covered by this
review. If the weighted-average
dumping margin for a mandatory
respondent is not zero or de minimis in
the final results of this review, we will
calculate an importer-specific
assessment rate 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 such
sales in accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1).14 If the weighted-average
dumping margin is zero or de minimis
in the final results of review, or if an
importer-specific assessment rate is zero
or de minimis, Commerce will instruct
CBP to liquidate appropriate entries
without regard to antidumping duties.15
For entries of subject merchandise
during the POR produced by the
respondent(s) 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.16 The final results of
this administrative review shall be the
basis for the assessment of antidumping
duties on entries of merchandise under
review and for future cash deposits of
estimated antidumping duties, where
applicable.
For Siderca, for which the
administrative review is rescinded,
antidumping duties shall be assessed at
a rate equal to the cash deposit of
estimated antidumping duties required
at the time of entry, or withdrawal from
warehouse, for consumption, in
accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(c)(1)(i).
Commerce intends to issue
assessment instructions to CBP no
earlier than 41 days after the date of
publication of the final results of this
review in the Federal Register, in
accordance with 19 CFR 356.8(a). 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 in the Federal Register of
the final results of this administrative
review for all shipments of the subject
merchandise 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 companies subject
to this review will be equal to the
company-specific weighted-average
dumping margin established in the final
results of this administrative review; (2)
for merchandise exported by a company
not covered in this review but covered
in a prior segment of the proceeding, the
cash deposit rate will continue to be the

completed segment for the most recent
period; (3) if the exporter is not a firm
covered in this review, a prior review,
or the less-than-fair-value investigation

deposit rate will be the rate established

cash deposit requirements, when
imposed, shall remain in effect until
further notice.
Notification to Importers
This notice 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 double
antidumping duties.
Notification to Interested Parties
These preliminary results are issued
and published in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act,
19 CFR 351.213(h)(2), and 19 CFR
351.221(b)(4).

Disclosure and Public Comment
Commerce intends to disclose the calculations and analysis
performed for these preliminary results to interested parties within
five days of public announcement of the preliminary results or, if
there is no public announcement, within five days of the date of
publication of this notice, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).
The deadline for case briefs or other written comments submitted to
the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance will be
established at a later date. Rebuttal briefs, limited to issues raised
in the case briefs, may be filed not later than five days after the
date for filing case briefs.\10\ Interested parties who submit case
briefs or rebuttal briefs in this proceeding must submit: (1) a table
of contents listing each issue; and (2) a table of authorities.\11\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\10\ See 19 CFR 351.309(d); see also Administrative Protective
Order, Service, and Other Procedures in Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Proceedings, 88 FR 67069, 67077 (September 29,
2023) (APO and Service Final Rule).
\11\ See 19 CFR 351.309(c)(2) and (d)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
As provided under 19 CFR 351.309(c)(2) and (d)(2), in prior
proceedings we have encouraged interested parties to provide an
executive summary of their brief that should be limited to five pages
total, including footnotes. In this administrative review, we instead
request that interested parties provide at the beginning of their
briefs a public, executive summary for each issue raised in their
briefs.\12\ Further, we request that interested parties limit their
public executive summary of each issue to no more than 450 words, not
including citations. We intend to use the public executive summaries as
the basis of the comment summaries included in the issues and decision
memorandum that will accompany the final results of this review. We
request that interested parties include footnotes for relevant
citations in the public executive summary of each issue. Note that
Commerce has amended certain of its requirements pertaining to the
service of documents in 19 CFR 351.303(f).\13\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\12\ We use the term ``issue'' here to describe an argument that
Commerce would normally address in a comment of the Issues and
Decision Memorandum.
\13\ See APO and Service Final Rule.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), interested parties who wish to
request a hearing, limited to issues raised in the case and rebuttal
briefs, must submit a written request to the Assistant Secretary for
Enforcement and Compliance, U.S. Department of Commerce, within 30 days
after the date of publication of this notice. Requests should contain
the party's name, address, and telephone number, the number of
participants, whether any participant is a foreign national, and a list
of the issues to be discussed. If a request for a hearing is made,
Commerce intends to hold the hearing at a time and date to be
determined. Parties should confirm by telephone the date, time, and
location of the hearing two days before the scheduled date.
Final Results of Review
Unless otherwise extended, Commerce intends to issue the final
results of this administrative review, which will include the results
of its analysis of issues raised in any briefs, within 120 days of
publication of these preliminary results of review, pursuant to section
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.
Assessment Rate
Upon completion of this administrative review, pursuant to section
751(a)(2)(C) of the Act, Commerce shall determine, and U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries covered by this review. If the weighted-average
dumping margin for a mandatory respondent is not zero or de minimis in
the final results of this review, we will calculate an importer-
specific assessment rate 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 such sales in accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1).\14\ If the weighted-average dumping margin is zero or de
minimis in the final results of review, or if an importer-specific
assessment rate is zero or de minimis, Commerce will instruct CBP to
liquidate appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties.\15\
For entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by the
respondent(s) 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
[[Page 96640]]
the transaction.\16\ The final results of this administrative review
shall be the basis for the assessment of antidumping duties on entries
of merchandise under review and for future cash deposits of estimated
antidumping duties, where applicable.

Average Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping
Proceedings: Final Modification, 77 FR 8101, 8103 (February 14,
2012).

Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
For Siderca, for which the administrative review is rescinded,
antidumping duties shall be assessed at a rate equal to the cash
deposit of estimated antidumping duties required at the time of entry,
or withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption, in accordance with 19
CFR 351.212(c)(1)(i).
Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier
than 41 days after the date of publication of the final results of this
review in the Federal Register, in accordance with 19 CFR 356.8(a). 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 in the Federal Register of the final results of this
administrative review for all shipments of the subject merchandise
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 companies subject to this review will be
equal to the company-specific weighted-average dumping margin
established in the final results of this administrative review; (2) for
merchandise exported by a company 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 in the
completed segment for the most recent period; (3) if the exporter is
not a firm covered in this review, a prior review, or the less-than-
fair-value investigation but the producer is, then the cash deposit
rate will be the rate established in the most recently completed
segment of the proceeding for the producer of the merchandise; and (4)
the cash deposit rate for all other producers or exporters will
continue to be 44.93 percent, the all-others rate established in the
less-than-fair-value investigation.\17\ These cash deposit
requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further
notice.

Notification to Importers
This notice 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 double
antidumping duties.
Notification to Interested Parties
These preliminary results are issued and published in accordance
with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act, 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2),
and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(4).
Dated: November 29, 2024.

Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Policy and Negotiations.
