[Docket 10–2005]
Proposed Foreign-Trade Zone—
Conroe (Montgomery County), TX;
Application for Subzone, WLS Drilling
Products, Inc. (Mining Drill Bits);
Montgomery, TX
An application has been submitted to
the Foreign-Trade Zones Board (the
Board) by the City of Conroe, Texas,
which has an application pending
before the Board for FTZ status,
requesting special-purpose subzone
status for the warehousing facility
(mining drill bits) of WLS Drilling
Products, Inc., (WLS Drilling) in
Montgomery, Texas. 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 February 25, 2005.
The WLS Drilling facility is located at
18904 Freeport Drive in Montgomery,
Texas. The facility (8 employees; 7,000
sq. ft. warehouse with adjacent 2,500 sq.
ft. office on 5.2 acres) warehouses and
distributes finished rotary rock drill bits
used in the mining, construction, and
oil and gas industries. WLS Drilling’s
imported drill bits currently enter the
U.S. duty free. However, the application
states that the imported products may
become subject to duties in the future.
WLS Drilling also indicates that,
although no manufacturing authority is
currently requested, there is the
potential for manufacturing at the site in
the future. Finally, the application states
that the company will benefit from an
FTZ-related exemption from local
property tax.
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 one of

Background
On August 24, 2004, the Department
of Commerce (the Department) initiated
an administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on canned
pineapple fruit from Thailand. See
Initiation of Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Administrative
Reviews and Requests for Revocation in
Part, 69 FR 52857 (August 30, 2004).
The period of review is July 1, 2003,
through June 30, 2004.
Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary
Results of Review
Pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act),
the Department shall make a
preliminary determination in an
administrative review of an
antidumping duty order within 245
days after the last day of the anniversary
month of the date of publication of the
order. The Act further provides,
however, that the Department may
extend that 245-day period to 365 days
if it determines it is not practicable to
complete the review within the
foregoing time period. The preliminary
results of this antidumping duty
administrative review of canned
pineapple fruit from Thailand are
currently scheduled to be completed on
April 2, 2005. However, the Department
finds that it is not practicable to
complete the preliminary results in this
administrative review within this time
limit because additional time is needed
to fully address issues relating to the
home market viability, as well as to
conduct mandatory verifications of the
questionnaire responses and
supplemental questionnaire responses.
Therefore, in accordance with section
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, the Department
is extending the time limit for
completion of the preliminary results of
this review until August 1, 2005, which
is the next business day after 365 days
from the last day of the anniversary
month of the date of publication of the
order. The deadline for the final results
of this administrative review continues
to be 120 days after the publication of
the preliminary results.
This notice is issued and published in
accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of
the Act.
Dated: February 28, 2005.
