Foreign-Trade Zones Board

[Docket A(32c)-09-2007]


Foreign-Trade Zone 39-Dallas/Ft. Worth, TX, Subzone 39I, 
Turbomeca USA, Grand Prairie, TX

    A request has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones Board (the 
Board) by the Dallas/Ft. Worth International Airport Board, grantee of 
FTZ 39, requesting a determination pursuant to Sec. 400.32(c) of the 
Board's regulations on whether certain activity is within the scope of 
authority approved under Board Order 1363 establishing Subzone 39I at 
the Turbomeca USA (Turbomeca) facility in Grand Prairie, Texas.
    From 2003 until 2006, the Turbomeca facility was the subject of a 
focused assessment by CBP. As a result of the assessment, certain 
foreign components used in the manufacturing process have been 
reclassified. The activity conducted at the facility, the manufacturing 
and repair of helicopter engines (duty-free), and the actual foreign 
components used in the manufacturing process, have not changed. 
However, the company is now using the following additional

[[Page 37188]]

classifications of components: tubes, pipes and hoses of plastic or 
rubber; flanges, threaded articles of metal; helical spring lock 
washers; cotters and cotter pins; helical springs; non-threaded copper 
washers; articles of copper, iron or steel with heads of copper; copper 
screws, nuts, bolts and washers; stoppers, caps and lids of base 
metals; electric motors; parts of electric sound or visual signaling 
apparatus; grounding of electrical circuits; relays; contactors; panel 
boards and distribution boards; circuit cards; other electric 
conductors; magnifying/sight glass; articles of aluminum; starter 
motors; electrical apparatus for switching or protecting electrical 
circuits; and, other programmable controllers (duty rate ranges from 
duty-free to 5.8[percnt]). All bearings will continue to be admitted to 
the subzone in privileged foreign status. The reclassification has 
resulted in an increase to the company's zone savings of approximately 
$150,000 per year.
    Public comment on the request 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 August 8, 2007. Rebuttal comments in response to material 
submitted during the foregoing period may be submitted during the 
subsequent 15-day period to August 23, 2007.
    A copy of the request and the accompanying exhibits will be 
available for public inspection at the following location: Office of 
the Executive Secretary, Foreign-Trade Zones Board, Room 2111, U.S. 
Department of Commerce, 14th and Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, Washington, 
DC 20230.

    Dated: June 29, 2007.
Andrew McGilvray,
Executive Secretary.
