Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) 92--Harrison County, Mississippi; 
Authorization of Production Activity; TopShip, LLC (Shipbuilding); 
Gulfport, Mississippi

    On August 30, 2016, the Mississippi Coast Foreign-Trade Zone, Inc., 
grantee of FTZ 92, submitted a notification of proposed production 
activity to the FTZ Board on behalf of TopShip, LLC, within FTZ 92, in 
Gulfport, Mississippi.
    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 (81 FR 62078-62079, September 8, 
2016). 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 subject to the 
following conditions:
    (1) Any foreign steel mill products admitted to the zone for the 
TopShip, LLC, activity, 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 full 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) TopShip, LLC, shall meet its obligation under 15 CFR 400.13(b) 
by annually advising the FTZ 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 28, 2016.
Andrew McGilvray,
Executive Secretary.
