Foreign-Trade Zone 117--Orange, TX, Authorization of Production 
Activity, Signal International Texas GP, LLC (Shipbuilding), Orange, TX

    On January 10, 2013, the Foreign Trade Zone of Southeast Texas, 
Inc., grantee of FTZ 117, submitted a notification of proposed 
production activity to the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) Board on behalf of 
Signal International Texas GP, LLC, in Orange, Texas.
    The notification was processed in accordance with the regulations 
of the FTZ Board (15 CFR part 400), including notice in the Federal 
Register inviting public comment (78 FR 4383, 1-22-2013). The FTZ Board 
has determined that no further review of the activity is warranted at 
this time. The production activity described in the notification is 
authorized, subject to the FTZ Act and the Board's regulations, 
including Section 400.14, and the following special conditions:

    1. Any foreign steel mill product admitted to the subzone, 
including plate, angles, shapes, channels, rolled steel stock, bars, 
pipes and tubes, not incorporated into merchandise otherwise 
classified, and which is used in manufacturing, shall be subject to 
customs duties in accordance with applicable law, unless the 
Executive Secretary determines that the same item is not then being 
produced by a domestic steel mill.
    2. Signal International Texas GP, LLC, shall meet its obligation 
under 15 CFR 400.13(b) by annually advising the Board's Executive 
Secretary as to significant new contracts with appropriate 
information concerning foreign purchases otherwise dutiable, so that 
the Board may consider whether any foreign dutiable items are being 
imported for manufacturing in the subzone primarily because of FTZ 
procedures and whether the Board should consider requiring customs 
duties to be paid on such items.

    Dated: May 10, 2013.
Andrew McGilvray,
Executive Secretary.
