[Docket 65-2008]


Foreign-Trade Zone 207--Richmond, Virginia; Application for 
Subzone; Qimonda North America Corporation; (Dynamic Random Access 
Memory Modules Distribution); Sandston, VA

    An application has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones Board 
(the Board) by the Capital Region Airport Commission, grantee of FTZ 
207, requesting special-purpose subzone status for the warehousing and 
distribution facility of Qimonda North America Corporation (Qimonda), 
located in Sandston, Virginia. 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 Board (15 CFR part 400). It was 
formally filed on December 2, 2008.
    The Qimonda facility (10 employees, 210 acres, 1,435,278 square 
feet) is located at 6000 Technology Boulevard, Sandston, Virginia. The 
facility is used for the storage and distribution of dynamic random 
access memory modules (duty-free).
    FTZ designation would allow Qimonda to realize logistical benefits 
through the use of weekly customs entry procedures. The request 
indicates that the savings from FTZ procedures would help improve the 
facility's international competitiveness.
    In accordance with the Board's regulations, Elizabeth Whiteman of 
the FTZ Staff is 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 
February 17, 2009. Rebuttal comments in response to material submitted 
during the foregoing period may be submitted during the subsequent 15-
day period to March 2, 2009.
    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, 400 N. 8th 
St., Suite 412, Richmond, VA 23240-0026.
