[Docket 18-2011]


Foreign-Trade Zone 59--Lincoln, NE; Application for Subzone; 
Cabela's Inc. (Hunting, Fishing, Camping and Related Outdoor 
Merchandise); Sidney, NE

    An application has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones Board 
(the Board) by the Lincoln Foreign-Trade Zone, Inc., grantee of FTZ 59, 
requesting special-purpose subzone status for the warehousing and 
distribution facilities of Cabela's Inc. (Cabela's), located in Sidney, 
Nebraska. 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 
March 7, 2011.
    The Cabela's facilities (210 employees) consist of two sites on 67 
acres in Sidney, Nebraska: Site 1 (55 acres) is located at 3200 Road 
101, Sidney; and Site 2 (12 acres) is located at 3232 Road 101 East, 
Sidney. The facilities are used for the storage and distribution of 
outdoor merchandise, clothing and footwear, including optics, 
electronics, hunting, archery, shooting, fishing, boating, camping, pet 
and related products (duty rate ranges from duty-free to 48%).
    FTZ procedures could exempt Cabela's from customs duty payments on 
foreign products that will be re-exported (approximately 1% of 
shipments). On its domestic sales, the company would be able to defer 
duty payments until merchandise is shipped from the plant and entered 
for consumption. FTZ designation would further allow Cabela's to 
realize logistical benefits through the use of weekly customs entry 
procedures. The request indicates that the savings from FTZ procedures 
would help improve the facility'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 
May 13, 2011. Rebuttal comments in response to material submitted 
during the foregoing period may be submitted during the subsequent 15-
day period to May 28, 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://www.trade.gov/ftz.
