[Docket 6-2010]


Foreign-Trade Zone 50--Long Beach, California Application for 
Subzone Allegro Mfg. Inc. (Cosmetic, Organizer and Electronic Bags and 
Accessories) Commerce, CA

    An application has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones Board 
(the Board) by the Port of Long Beach, grantee of FTZ 50, requesting 
special-purpose subzone status for the warehousing and distribution 
facility of Allegro Mfg. Inc. (Allegro), located in Commerce, 
California. 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 
January 15, 2010.
    The Allegro facility (83 employees, 5.8 acres, 14.4 million unit 
annual capacity) is located at 7230, 7250 and 7265 Oxford Way, 
Commerce, California. The facility is used for the storage and 
distribution of cosmetic, organizer and electronic bags and accessories 
(duty rate ranges from duty-free to 20%).
    FTZ procedures could exempt Allegro from customs duty payments on 
foreign products that are re-exported (approximately two percent of 
shipments). On its domestic sales, the company would be able to defer 
duty payments until merchandise is shipped from the plant and entered 
for consumption. FTZ designation would further allow Allegro 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 evaluate and analyze the facts 
and information presented in the application and case record and to 
report findings and recommendations 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 29, 
2010. Rebuttal comments in response to material submitted during the 
foregoing period may be submitted during the subsequent 15-day period 
to April 12, 2010.
    A copy of the application will be available for public inspection 
at the Office of the Executive Secretary, Foreign-Trade Zones Board, 
Room 2111, U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue, NW., 
Washington, DC 20230-0002, and in the ``Reading Room'' section of the 
Board's Web site, which is accessible via http://www.trade.gov/ftz.

    Dated: January 15, 2010.
