[Docket 50-2006]


Foreign-Trade Zone 51--Duluth, MN Application For Foreign-Trade 
Subzone Status MAPE USA, Inc. (Crankshafts) Cambridge, MN

    An application has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones Board 
(the Board) by the Duluth Seaway Port Authority, grantee of FTZ 51, 
requesting special-purpose subzone status for the quality-control, 
warehousing and distribution facility (crankshafts) of MAPE USA, Inc. 
(MAPE), located in Cambridge, Minnesota. 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 December 29, 2006.
    The facility for which subzone status is proposed is located at 315 
South Garfield Street in Cambridge, Minnesota (1.7 acres; 24,590 sq. 
ft. of enclosed space). The facility (15 employees) may be used under 
FTZ procedures for quality control, warehousing and distribution of 
crankshafts.
    Zone procedures would allow MAPE to defer Customs duty payments 
until merchandise is shipped from its facilities to its customers 
(including as zone-to-zone transfers). The application indicates that 
the company also anticipates realizing significant logistical/
procedural benefits and that savings from FTZ procedures could help 
improve the facility'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 
March 12, 2007. Rebuttal comments in response to material submitted 
during the foregoing period may be submitted during the subsequent 15-
day period to March 27, 2007.
    A copy of the application and accompanying exhibits will be 
available for public inspection at each of the following locations: 
Minneapolis Export Assistance Center, 100 North 6th Street, Suite 210-
C, Minneapolis, MN 55403; and Office of the Executive Secretary, 
Foreign-Trade Zones Board, U.S. Department of Commerce, Room 2814B, 
1401 Constitution Ave. NW., Washington, DC 20230.

    Dated: December 29, 2006.
Andrew McGilvray,
Executive Secretary.
