Board's Executive Secretary as to significant new contracts with 
appropriate information concerning foreign purchases otherwise 
dutiable, so that the FTZ Board may consider whether any foreign 
dutiable items are being imported for manufacturing in the zone 
primarily because of FTZ procedures and whether the FTZ Board should 
consider requiring customs duties to be paid on such items.

    Dated: December 19, 2016.
Andrew McGilvray,
