DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE 

Foreign-Trade Zones Board 

[Docket 27–2011] 

Foreign-Trade Subzone 124B; 

Application for Expansion; North 

American Shipbuilding, LLC 

(Shipbuilding), Houma, LA 

An application has been submitted to 

the Foreign-Trade Zones Board (the 

Board) by the South Louisiana Port 

Commission, grantee of FTZ 124, on 

behalf of North American Shipbuilding, 

LLC (NAS), operator of Subzone 124B at 

NAS’ shipbuilding facilities in Larose, 

Houma, and Port Fourchon, Louisiana, 

requesting authority to expand the 

subzone include a new site in Houma. 

The application was submitted pursuant 

to the provisions of the Foreign-Trade 

Zones Act, as amended (19 U.S.C. 81a– 

81u), and the Board’s regulations (15 

CFR part 400). It was formally filed on 

April 8, 2011. 

Subzone 124B was approved by the 

Board in 1991 with authority granted for 

the construction and repair of 

oceangoing vessels at NAS’ shipyard 

(Site 1) (14 acres) located at 800 

Industrial Park Road on the Intercoastal 

Waterway in Larose (LaFourche Parish), 

Louisiana (Board Order 539, 56 FR 

56627, 11–6–2001). The subzone was 

subsequently expanded to include two 

additional shipbuilding facilities: Site 2 

(27 acres)—208 North American Court 

(‘‘North American Fabricators, LLC’’), 

Houma (Terrebonne Parish); and, Site 3 

(26 acres)—106 9th Street (‘‘C–Port, 

LLC’’), Port Fourchon (LaFourche 

Parish) (Board Order 1021, 64 FR 7854, 

2–17–1999). The facilities (1,437 

employees) are used to construct, 

convert, and repair oceangoing vessels 

for commercial, research, and 

government customers. Components 

sourced from abroad include propulsion 

units, controllable pitch propellers, 

dynamic positioning systems, safety and 

firefighting equipment, centrifuges, 

compartment doors, electronic 

equipment, and guide rollers (duty rate 

range: Free–6.0%). 

The applicant is now requesting 

authority to expand the subzone to 

include a new shipbuilding facility 

(proposed Site 4) located at 352 Dickson 

Road (‘‘LaShip, LLC’’) in Houma. The 

application indicates that the facility 

will conduct production activity similar 

to that which occurs at NAS’ existing 

subzone facilities. The applicant also 

requests that the scope of FTZ 

manufacturing authority be expanded to 

include additional foreign-sourced 

components to be used in FTZ 

production activity. New components to 

be sourced from abroad (representing 

45% of the value of the finished vessels) 

include: winches, steering gears, motors, 

generators, structural components of 

iron, doors, tefrotex (ethylene-vinyl 

acetate), floor coatings, rock wool/ 

mineral wool, wooden furniture, seal 

rings, pressure reduction valves, man 

holes, ladders, pumps, and vibration 

control dampeners (duty rate range: 

Free–6.5%). The application indicates 

that the company will not admit any 

foreign-origin steel mill products to the 

proposed subzone site for use in FTZ 

manufacturing activity. Expanded FTZ 

procedures could continue to exempt 

NAS from customs duty payments on 

the additional foreign-origin 

components used in production for 

export. On its domestic shipments, the 

company would be able to elect the duty 

rate that applies to finished oceangoing 

vessels (free) for the additional foreignorigin inputs noted above. Customs 

duties also could possibly be deferred or 

reduced on foreign status production 

equipment. NAS would also be exempt 

from duty payments on foreign inputs 

that become scrap during the 

production process. The production 

activity under FTZ procedures would 

continue to be subject to the ‘‘standard
