Foreign-Trade Zone 144—Brunswick,
GA; Application For Foreign-Trade
Subzone Status; E.I. du Pont de
Nemours and Company, Inc. (Crop
Protection Products); Valdosta, GA
Area
An application has been submitted to
the Foreign-Trade Zones Board (the
Board) by Brunswick Foreign-Trade
Zone, Inc., grantee of FTZ 144,
requesting special-purpose subzone
status for the manufacturing facilities
(crop protection products) of E.I. du
Pont de Nemours and Company, Inc.
(DuPont), located in the Valdosta,
Georgia area. 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 filed
on April 27, 2006.
The facilities for which subzone
status is proposed are located at three
sites in the Valdosta, Georgia area
(223.68 acres total; up to 516,253 sq. ft.
of enclosed space): Site # 1 (220 acres;
156,253 sq. ft. of enclosed space with
possibility of creation of additional
200,000 sq. ft.) located at 2509 Rocky
Ford Road in Lowndes County, Georgia;
Site # 2 (2.3 acres; 100,000 sq. ft. of
enclosed space) located at 1560 Old
Clyattsville Road in Valdosta; and Site
# 3 (1.38 acres; 60,000 sq. ft. of enclosed
space) located at 1653 and 1669 Clay
Road in Valdosta.
DuPont is seeking subzone authority
to manufacture, test, package and
warehouse crop protection products.
The company initially plans to
manufacture certain fungicides (Manex),
herbicides (Direx FP), plant growth
regulators (CottonQuik), and
insecticides (Avaunt/Steward) under
FTZ procedures using imported
‘‘technical’’ ingredients. Duty rates on
the finished products range from duty-
free to 6.5% ad valorem while duty
rates on the ingredients range from 3.7%
to 6.5%. The application also requests
authority to include a broad range of
inputs, primarily categorized as organic
chemicals, for potential future use in
manufacture of finished crop protection
products. (New major activity in these
inputs/products would require review
mstockstill on PROD1PC68 with NOTICES
by the FTZ Board.) Duty rates for the
potential input-material categories range
from duty-free to 7.2% ad valorem
while the potential finished products
have duty rates ranging from duty-free
to 6.5%.
VerDate Aug<31>2005 15:45 May 03, 2006 Jkt 208001
Zone procedures would exempt
DuPont from Customs duty payments on
foreign inputs used in export
production. On its domestic shipments,
DuPont could apply to foreign inputs
lower duty rates that apply to the
finished products, where applicable,
and would also be able to defer duty
payments. DuPont would be able to
avoid duty on foreign inputs which
become scrap/waste, estimated at less
than one percent of imported inputs.
The application also indicates that the
company will derive savings from
simplification and expediting of the
company’s import and export
procedures and from transfer of foreign-
status merchandise to other FTZs or
subzones. All of the above-cited savings
from zone procedures could help
improve the plant’s international
competitiveness.
In accordance with the Board’s
regulations, a member of the FTZ Staff
has been designated examiner to
investigate the application and report to
the Board.
Public comment is invited from
interested parties. Submissions (original
and 3 copies) shall be addressed to the
Board’s Executive Secretary at the
address below. The closing period for
their receipt is July 3, 2006. Rebuttal
comments in response to material
submitted during the foregoing period
may be submitted during the subsequent
15-day period to July 18, 2006.
A copy of the application and
accompanying exhibits will be available
for public inspection at each of the
following locations:

Assistance Center, 325 John Knox

Ball Bearings and Parts Thereof from
Japan and Singapore; Five-year
Sunset Reviews of Antidumping Duty
Orders; Final Results
AGENCY: Import Administration,
International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: On June 1, 2005, the
Department of Commerce (the
Department) initiated sunset reviews of
the antidumping duty orders on ball
bearings from Japan and Singapore. See
Initiation of Five-year (Sunset) Reviews,
70 FR 31423 (June 1, 2005). On the basis
of a notice of intent to participate and
adequate substantive responses filed on
behalf of the interested parties, the
Department conducted full (240-day)
sunset reviews pursuant to section
751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (the Act), and 19 CFR
351.218(e)(2)(i). As a result of these
sunset reviews, the Department finds
that revocation of the antidumping duty
orders would likely lead to continuation
or recurrence of dumping at the levels
listed below in the section entitled
‘‘Final Results of Reviews.’’ Based on
our analysis of the comments we
received, we find that it is appropriate
to report a more recently calculated
margin to the International Trade
Commission for certain respondents.
EFFECTIVE DATE: May 4, 2006.
