[Docket 52-2002]


Foreign-Trade Zone 50--Long Beach, CA; Application for Subzone 
Status; Amendment of Application--Ricoh Electronics, Inc. (Copiers, 
Printers, Thermal Paper and Related Products)

    Notice is hereby given that the application of the Board of Harbor 
Commissioners of the City of Long Beach, California, grantee of FTZ 50, 
requesting special-purpose subzone status for the copier, printer, 
thermal paper and related products

[[Page 9974]]

manufacturing plant of Ricoh Electronics, Inc. (Ricoh), at sites in the 
Orange County, California, area (67 FR 72641, 12/6/02), has been 
amended to include additional products in its scope of manufacturing 
authority under zone procedures and to clarify certain elements of its 
proposed FTZ inventory management procedures.
    The applicant is requesting to add electrical machines having 
individual functions not specified elsewhere (HTSUS 8543) to its 
imported parts list; and, photographic film in rolls, sensitized and 
unexposed (HTSUS 3702); other plastic plates, sheets, film, foil and 
strips (HTSUS 3921); other office machines (HTSUS 8472); and electrical 
machines having individual functions not specified elsewhere (HTSUS 
8543) to its finished product list.
    It also seeks to clarify its proposed FTZ inventory management 
procedures with respect to its thermal paper products. Master rolls of 
both thermal tag paper (HTSUS 4811.90.8000) and synthetic thermal paper 
(HTSUS 4811.51.2050) will be entered into U.S. Customs territory from 
the proposed subzone, instead of customer specified lengths of thermal 
tag paper and synthetic thermal paper (HTSUS 4811.90.9000 and HTSUS 
4811.51.6000, respectively). The applicant indicates that this would 
simplify and facilitate FTZ entry procedures for these final products.
    The application remains otherwise unchanged.
    The comment period is reopened until April 2, 2003.

    Dated: February 20, 2003.
Dennis Puccinelli,
Executive Secretary.
