Foreign-Trade Zone 87--Lake Charles, Louisiana, Authorization of 
Production Activity, LEEVAC Shipyards, LLC (Shipbuilding), Lake Charles 
and Jennings, Louisiana

    On January 27, 2014, the Lake Charles Harbor and Terminal District, 
grantee of FTZ 87, submitted a notification of proposed production 
activity to the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) Board on behalf of LEEVAC 
Shipyards, LLC, in Lake Charles and Jennings, Louisiana.
    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 (79 FR 8679-8680, February 13, 2014). 
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 FTZ 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. LEEVAC Shipyards, 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 27, 2014.
Andrew McGilvray,
Executive Secretary.
