DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE 

Foreign-Trade Zones Board 

[Docket 10–2011] 

Foreign-Trade Zone 274—Butte-Silver 

Bow, MT; Application for 

Manufacturing Authority REC Silicon 

(Polysilicon and Silane Gas) Butte, MT 

An application has been submitted to 

the Foreign-Trade Zones Board (the 

Board) by the City and County of ButteSilver Bow, grantee of FTZ 274, 

requesting manufacturing authority on 

behalf of REC Silicon, located in Butte, 

Montana. 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 February 

11, 2011. 

The REC Silicon facility (300 

employees, 3,450 metric ton capacity) is 

located within Site 1 of FTZ 274. The 

facility is used for the manufacturing of 

polysilicon and silane gas for the 

photovoltaic industry using domestic 

and imported silicon metal (duty rate 

5.3–5.5%). Materials sourced from 

abroad represent 8% of the value of the 

finished polysilicon and 5% of the 

value of the finished silane gas. REC 

Silicon has indicated that they will not 

admit foreign status silicon metal 

subject to antidumping or 

countervailing duty orders into the 

facility and would accept a restriction 

on such admissions. 

FTZ procedures could exempt REC 

Silicon from customs duty payments on 

the foreign components used in export 

production. The company anticipates 

that some 95% of the plant’s shipments 

will be exported. On its domestic sales, 

REC Silicon would be able to choose the 

duty rates during customs entry 

procedures that apply to polysilicon and 

silane gas (duty rate ranges from dutyfree to 3.7%) for the imported silicon 

metal noted above. FTZ designation 

would further allow REC Silicon to 

realize logistical benefits through the 

use of weekly customs entry procedures. 

Customs duties also could possibly be 

deferred or reduced on foreign status 

production equipment. The request 

indicates that the savings from FTZ 

procedures would help improve the 

plant’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 April 18, 2011. Rebuttal 

comments in response to material 

submitted during the foregoing period 

may be submitted during the subsequent 

15-day period to May 3, 2011. 

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://
