BILLING CODE 6335-OP-P DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE Foreign-Trade Zones Board [Docket 12-2007] Foreign-Trade Zone 22 - Chicago, IL, Application for Subzone Status, Medline Industries, Inc., (Medical Supply Distribution and Processing) An application has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones Board (the Board) by the Illinois International Port District, grantee of FTZ 22, requesting special-purpose subzone status for the medical supply distribution and processing (kitting) facilities of Medline Industries, Inc.

(Medline), located in Mundelein, Waukegan, and Libertyville, Illinois. 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 filed on March 28, 2007. The proposed subzone would include Medline's facilities at four sites in Lake County, Illinois: *Site 1* (one building/8.59 acres/203,500 sq.ft.) - 1170 Northpoint Boulevard in Waukegan, Illinois, about 25 miles north of Chicago; *Site 2* (one building/9.11 acres/145,898 sq.ft.) - 1710 Lakeside Lane, Waukegan, located one mile south of Site 1; *Site 3* (three buildings/43.14 acres/502,876 sq.ft.) - 1200 Townline Road, Mundelein, some six miles southwest of Site 1; and, *Site 4* (one building/35 acres/600,000 sq.ft.) - 1501 Harris Road, Libertyville, about two miles north of Site 3.

The facilities are used for warehousing and distribution and processing (kitting) of foreign-origin and domestic medical supplies and equipment for the U.S. market and export. FTZ procedures would be utilized to support Medline's Illinois-based distribution activity that competes with facilities located abroad. Finished medical supplies and equipment to be admitted to the proposed subzone for distribution would include: apparel items of cotton and man-made fibers (gowns, shirts, overalls, caps, baby shirts, scrubs, covers, socks, pajamas, slippers), woven/non-woven bed linens, towels, pillows, diapers, aprons, canes, walkers, wheelchairs, scooters, grab bars, beds, commodes, wooden bedroom furniture, folios, leather and man-made fiber travel bags, thermometers, vacuum pumps, medicaments, gauze, insecticides, fungicides, disinfectants, diagnostic reagents, plastic sheet/strip/foil/film, articles of plastic, paper products, tableware, glassware, belts, garment hangers, clippers, razors, lab equipment, batteries, portable lamps, alarms, medical/surgical/diagnostic equipment and appliances, exercise/therapy equipment, brooms/brushes/mops, writing instruments, artworks, watches and clocks, watch cases, and toiletry items.

The application states that all foreign textile and apparel products classified within textile import categories that are subject to quota would be admitted to the proposed subzone under domestic (duty-paid) status (19 CFR § 146.43) or privileged foreign status (19 CFR § 146.41). Medline also plans to conduct certain kitting operations under FTZ procedures. The company is requesting authority to assemble surgical procedure tray kits (duty free). Imported components that could be included in a kit include: articles of plastic (trays, basins, medcups and lids, dishes, specimen containers), suction hose, holsters, rubber gloves, cleaning wipes, paper bags, medical/surgical appliances and/or instruments, gauze items, paper sheets/drapes/garments, syringes, woven/non-woven fabrics, surgical towels, disposable headgear and apparel (duty rate range: free - 17.6%%).

The application indicates that Medline will admit all foreign-origin items classified within textile import quota categories to the proposed subzone under domestic (duty-paid) status or in privileged foreign status when used in the kitting activity. FTZ procedures would exempt Medline from customs duty payments on foreign products that are re-exported. On domestic sales, duty payments would be deferred until the foreign merchandise is shipped from the facilities and entered for U.S. consumption.

For its processing activity, Medline would be able to elect the duty rate that applies to finished surgical procedure tray kits

(free)for the foreign-sourced inputs noted above. Medline would also realize significant logistical benefits through the use of weekly entry procedures. The application indicates that all of the savings from FTZ procedures would help improve the facilities' 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 June 4, 2007. Rebuttal comments in response to material submitted during the foregoing period may be submitted during the subsequent 15-day period to June 19, 2007. A copy of the application and accompanying exhibits will be available for public inspection at each of the following locations: U.S. Department of Commerce Export Assistance Center, Suite 212, 28055 Ashley Circle, Libertyville, Illinois 60048; and, Office of the Executive Secretary, Foreign-Trade Zones Board, Room 2814B, U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20230-0002.

(202)482-4477, respectively. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background At the request of interested parties, the Department of Commerce (the Department) initiated administrative reviews of the antidumping duty orders on ball bearings and parts thereof from France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Singapore, and the United Kingdom for the period May 1, 2005, through April 30, 2006. See *Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews* , 71 FR 37892 (July 3, 2006). On January 18, 2007, we extended the due date for the completion of the preliminary results of reviews by 45 days. See *Ball Bearings and Parts Thereof From France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Singapore, and the United Kingdom: Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Reviews* , 72 FR 2261 (January 18, 2007). On March 23, 2007, we extended the due date for the completion of the preliminary results of reviews by 16 additional days. See *Ball Bearings and Parts Thereof From France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Singapore, and the United Kingdom: Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Reviews* , 72 FR 13743 (March 23, 2007). The preliminary results of the reviews are currently due no later than April 2, 2007. Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Reviews Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), requires the Department to make a preliminary determination within 245 days after the last day of the anniversary month of an order for which a review is requested and a final determination within 120 days after the date on which the preliminary determination is published. If it is not practicable to complete the review within these time periods, section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows the Department to extend the time limit for the preliminary determination to a maximum of 365 days after the last day of the anniversary month. We determine that it is not practicable to complete the preliminary results of these reviews within the current time limit because of the number of respondents in these reviews and the complexity of the issues under analysis such as further-manufacturing operations in the United States, the “collapsing” of companies, and the use of constructed value for reseller respondents for which we need to issue additional questionnaires. Therefore, we are extending the time period for issuing the preliminary results of these reviews by 59 additional days until May 31, 2007. This notice is published in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2). Dated: March 30, 2007. Stephen J. Claeys, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.

SUMMARY: On December 1, 2006, the Department of Commerce (“Department”) initiated a sunset review of the antidumping duty order on folding gift boxes from the People's Republic of China (“PRC”), pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (“Act”). *See Initiation of Five-year (“Sunset”) Reviews* , 71 FR 69545 (December 1, 2006) (“Sunset Initiation”); *see also Notice of Antidumping Duty Order: Certain Folding Gift Boxes From the People's Republic of China* , 67 FR 864 (January 8, 2002) (“Order”). Based on the notice of intent to participate and response filed by the domestic interested party, and the lack of response from respondent interested parties, the Department conducted an expedited sunset review of the Order pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and 19 C.F.R. 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2). As a result of this sunset review, the Department finds that revocation of the Order would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping at the levels indicated in the “Final Results of Review” section of this notice. EFFECTIVE DATE: April 5, 2007. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Juanita H. Chen or Robert A. Bolling; AD/CVD Operations, Import Administration, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20230; telephone: 202-482-1904 and 202-482-3434, respectively. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background On December 1, 2006, the Department initiated a sunset review of the Order on folding gift boxes from the PRC pursuant to section 751(c) of the Act. *See* Sunset Initiation. On December 15, 2006, the Department timely received a notice of intent to participate from Simkins Industries, Inc. (“Simkins”), pursuant to 19 C.F.R. 351.218(d)(1)(i). Simkins claimed interested party status under section 771(9)(C) of the Act as a domestic producer of subject merchandise. On January 3, 2007, the Department received a request from Harvard Folding Box Company, Inc. (“Harvard Box”), asking to be substituted for Simkins as the domestic interested party in the sunset review. Both Simkins and Harvard Box are represented by the same counsel. Harvard Box also filed a substantive response within the 30-day deadline as specified in 19 C.F.R. 351.218(d)(3)(i). The Department did not receive any objections to Harvard Box's request to be substituted for Simkins. The Department did not receive a substantive response from any respondent interested party. As a result, pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and 19 C.F.R. 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2), the Department conducted an expedited sunset review of the Order. Scope Of The Order The products covered by the order are certain folding gift boxes. Folding gift boxes are a type of folding or knock-down carton manufactured from paper or paperboard. Folding gift boxes are produced from a variety of recycled and virgin paper or paperboard materials, including, but not limited to, clay-coated paper or paperboard and kraft (bleached or unbleached) paper or paperboard. The scope of the order excludes gift boxes manufactured from paper or paperboard of a thickness of more than 0.8 millimeters, corrugated paperboard, or paper mache. The scope of the order also excludes those gift boxes for which no side of the box, when assembled, is at least nine inches in length. Folding gift boxes included in the scope of the order are typically decorated with a holiday motif using various processes, including printing, embossing, debossing, and foil stamping, but may also be plain white or printed with a single color. The subject merchandise includes folding gift boxes, with or without handles, whether finished or unfinished, and whether in one-piece or multi-piece configuration. One-piece gift boxes are die-cut or otherwise formed so that the top, bottom, and sides form a single, contiguous unit. Two-piece gift boxes are those with a folded bottom and a folded top as separate pieces. Folding gift boxes are generally packaged in shrink-wrap, cellophane, or other packaging materials, in single or multi-box packs for sale to the retail customer. The scope of the order excludes folding gift boxes that have a retailer's name, logo, trademark or similar company information printed prominently on the box's top exterior (such folding gift boxes are often known as “not-for-resale” gift boxes or “give-away” gift boxes and may be provided by department and specialty stores at no charge to their retail customers). The scope of the order also excludes folding gift boxes where both the outside of the box is a single color and the box is not packaged in shrink-wrap, cellophane, other resin-based packaging films, or paperboard. Imports of the subject merchandise are classified under Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (“HTSUS”) subheadings 4819.20.0040 and 4819.50.4060. These subheadings also cover products that are outside the scope of the order. Furthermore, although the HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and customs purposes, our written description of the scope of the order is dispositive. Analysis Of Comments Received A complete discussion of all issues raised in this review are addressed in the accompanying Issues and Decision Memorandum, which is hereby adopted by this notice. *See* “Issues and Decision Memorandum for the Final Results in the Expedited Sunset Review of the Antidumping Duty Order on Folding Gift Boxes from the People's Republic of China,” from Stephen J. Claeys, Deputy Assistant Secretary, to David M. Spooner, Assistant Secretary for Import Administration, dated March 29, 2007 (“I&D Memo”). The issues discussed in the accompanying I&D Memo include the likelihood of continuation or recurrence of dumping and the magnitude of the dumping margin likely to prevail if the Order were revoked. Parties can obtain a public copy of the I&D Memo on file in the Central Records Unit, room B-099, of the main Commerce building. In addition, a complete public version of the I&D Memo can be accessed directly on the Web at http://ia.ita.doc.gov and clicking on “ **Federal Register** Notices.” The paper copy and electronic version of the I&D Memo are identical in content. Final Results Of Sunset Review The Department determines that revocation of the Order on folding gift boxes from the PRC would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping at the rates listed below: Manufacturers/Exporters/Producers Weighted-Average Margin (Percent) Red Point Paper Products Co., Ltd. 8.90 %% Max Fortune Industrial Ltd. 1.67 %% ( *de minimis* ) PRC-wide rate 164.75 %% Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Order This notice also serves as the only reminder to parties subject to administrative protective order (“APO”) of their responsibility concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 C.F.R. 351.305. Timely notification of the return or 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. We are issuing and publishing these results and notice in accordance with sections 751(c), 752(c), and 777(i)(1) of the Act. Dated: March 29, 2007. David M.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Extension of Deadline At the request of various parties, the Department of Commerce (the Department) initiated an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on polyethylene retail carrier bags from Thailand for the peri1od August 1, 2005, through July 31, 2006. See *Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews* , 71 FR 57465 (September 29, 2006). Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), requires the Department to issue preliminary results of review within 245 days after the last day of the anniversary month of an order for which a review is requested and final results within 120 days after the date on which the preliminary results were published. If it is not practicable to complete the review within these time periods, section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows the Department to extend the time limit for the preliminary results to a maximum of 365 days after the last day of the anniversary month. We determine that it is not practicable to complete the preliminary results of this review within the current time limit because of the number of respondents in this review and the complexity of the issues under analysis. Further, we received below-cost allegations and are currently conducting below-cost investigations for several of the respondents. Accordingly, because we need to analyze and incorporate the information from recently filed submissions, we are extending the deadline for issuing the preliminary results of this review by 60 days until July 2, 2007. This notice is published in accordance with sections 751(a)(3)(A) and 777(i) of the Act. Dated: March 30, 2007. Stephen J. Claeys, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration. [FR Doc.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background On October 2, 2006, the Department of Commerce (“the Department”) published a notice of opportunity to request an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on polyvinyl alcohol (“PVA”) from the People's Republic of China (“PRC”). *See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or Suspended Investigation: Opportunity to Request Administrative Review* , 71 FR 57920 (October 2, 2006). On October 23, 2006, Sinopec Sichuan Vinylon Works (“SVW”) requested that the Department conduct an administrative review of SVW. The Department published a notice of initiation of the antidumping duty administrative review of PVA from the PRC for the period October 1, 2005, through September 30, 2006. *See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and Request for Revocation in Part* , 71 FR 68535 (November 27, 2006).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background On August 30, 2006, the Department published a notice of initiation of an antidumping duty administrative review for, *inter alia* , Purified Carboxymethylcellulose from Finland, Sweden, the Netherlands, and Mexico for the December 27, 2004, through June 30, 2006, period of review (POR). *See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and Requests for Revocation in Part* , 71 FR 51573 (August 30, 2006). On December 11, 2006, the Department received requests from Aqualon Company, a division of Hercules, Inc. (Petitioner) that a cost investigation be initiated in the review of CMC from Finland, Sweden, and the Netherlands. See Letters from Petitioner dated December 8, 2006. On January 22, 2007, the Department initiated a sales below cost of production investigation in the instant review of CMC from the Netherlands. *See* January 22, 2007, memorandum to Richard Weible, regarding Petitioner's allegation of sales below the cost of production in the review of CMC from the Netherlands.

However, if it is not practicable to complete the review within these time periods, section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows the Department to extend the 245 day time period for the preliminary results to 365 days. The Department has determined it is not practicable to complete these reviews within the statutory time limit because we require additional time to conduct sales below-cost investigations in these administrative reviews and to collect and analyze other information needed for our preliminary determinations. Accordingly, the Department is extending the time limits for completion of the preliminary results of these administrative reviews until no later than July 31, 2007, which is 365 days from the last day of the anniversary month of these orders. We intend to issue the final results in these reviews no later than 120 days after publication of the preliminary results notices.

SUMMARY: On November 27, 2006, the Department of Commerce (“the Department”) published a notice of preliminary results of the full sunset review of the antidumping duty order on steel concrete reinforcing bars (“rebar”) from Latvia pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (“the Act”). As a result of this review, the Department finds that revocation of the antidumping duty order would likely lead to the continuation or recurrence of dumping. EFFECTIVE DATE: April 5, 2007.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background On November 27, 2006, the Department published a notice of preliminary results of the full sunset review of the antidumping duty order on rebar from Latvia pursuant to section 751(c) of the Act. *See Steel Concrete Reinforcing Bars from Latvia; Preliminary Results of the Sunset Review of Antidumping Duty Order* , 71 FR 68544 (November 27, 2006) (“ *Preliminary Results* ”). We provided interested parties an opportunity to comment on our preliminary results.

A hearing was not held because none was requested. Scope of the Order The product covered by this order is all steel concrete reinforcing bars sold in straight lengths, currently classifiable in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (“HTSUS”) under item numbers 7214.20.00, 7228.30.8050, 7222.11.0050, 7222.30.0000, 7228.60.6000, 7228.20.1000, or any other tariff item number. Specifically excluded are plain rounds ( *i.e.* , non-deformed or smooth bars) and rebar that has been further processed through bending or coating.

Shortly thereafter, the Department published a notice of the initiation of the countervailing duty administrative review of honey from Argentina for the period January 1, 2006 through December 21, 2006. *See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews* , 72 FR 5005 (February 2, 2007).

This administrative review covers the period January 1, 2005 through December 31, 2005. Extension of Time Limits for Preliminary Results Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act) and section 351.213(h)(1) of the Department's regulations require the Department to issue the preliminary results of a review within 245 days after the last day of the anniversary month of the order or suspension agreement for which the administrative review was requested, and final results of the review within 120 days after the date on which the notice of the preliminary results is published in the **Federal Register** . However, if the Department determines that it is not practicable to complete the review within the aforementioned specified time limits, section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and section 351.213(h)(2) of the Department's regulations allow the Department to extend the 245-day period to 365 days and to extend the 120-day period to 180 days. We determine that it is not practicable to complete the preliminary results of this review within the original time limit. Due to the large number of programs under review, the Department needs additional time to analyze the questionnaire responses and issue appropriate supplemental questionnaires.
