(Docket 45-2007)


Foreign-Trade Zone 49 -- Newark, New Jersey, Area, Application 
for Subzone Status In Mocean Group, LLC (Swimwear/Beach Accessories), 
North Brunswick, New Jersey

    An application has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones Board 
(the Board) by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, grantee 
of FTZ 49, requesting special-purpose subzone status for the 
distribution facility of In Mocean Group, LLC (IMG), located in North 
Brunswick, New Jersey. 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 Foreign-Trade Zones Board (15 CFR part 
400). It was formally filed on August 31, 2007.
    The IMG facility (146,150 sq. ft., with possible expansion of an 
additional 100,000 sq. ft., on 22 acres; 100 employees) is located at 
2400 Route U.S. 1 in North Brunswick. The facility is used for the 
receipt, storage, manipulation (repacking/sorting) and distribution of 
swimwear and beach accessories. The products are distributed throughout 
the U.S. and abroad.
    FTZ procedures could exempt IMG from Customs duty payments on 
foreign products that are re-exported. Some 5 percent of the facility's 
shipments are exported. On domestic sales, the company would be able to 
defer payments until merchandise is shipped from the facility and 
entered for U.S. consumption. IMG also plans to realize logistical 
benefits through the use of weekly entry procedures. The application 
indicates that zone savings would help improve the international 
competitiveness of the distribution facility.
    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 
November 13, 2007. Rebuttal comments in response to material submitted 
during the foregoing period may be submitted during the subsequent 15-
day period November 26, 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, 20 West State 
Street, Trenton, NJ 08625; and, Office of the Executive Secretary, 
Foreign-Trade Zones Board, Room 2111, U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 
Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20230.
