Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific railroad 

bed. Construction of the project at either 

site will require the construction of new 

electric transmission lines that will 

interconnect with the Great Falls 

Substation and the Great Falls to 

Broadview 230 kilovolt electric 

transmission line. The schedule 

developed by SME would place the 

facility in commercial operation by the 

spring of 2009. Alternatives to be 

considered by RUS include no action, 

purchased power, renewable energy 

sources, distributed generation, and 

alternative site locations. Comments 

regarding the proposed project may be 

submitted (orally or in writing) at the 

public scoping meeting or in writing 

within 30 days after the October 13, 

2004 meeting to RUS at the address 

provided in this notice. 

RUS will use input provided by 

government agencies, private 

organizations, and the public, in the 

preparation of a Draft EIS. The Draft EIS 

will be available for review and 

comment for 45 days. A Final EIS will 

then be prepared that considers all 

comments received. The Final EIS will 

be available for review and comment for 

30 days. Following the 30-day comment 

period, RUS will prepare a Record of 

Decision (ROD). Notices announcing the 

availability of the Draft and Final EIS 

and the ROD will be published in the 

Federal Register and in local 

newspapers. 

Any final action by RUS related to the 

proposed project will be subject to, and 

contingent upon, compliance with all 

relevant Federal, State and local 

environmental laws and regulations and 

completion of the environmental review 

requirements as prescribed in the RUS 

Environmental Policies and Procedures 

(7 CFR Part 1794).

DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE

Foreign-Trade Zones Board 

[Docket 42–2004] 

Foreign-Trade Zone 230—Guilford, 

Forsyth, Davidson and Surry Counties, 

NC, Application for Manufacturing 

Authority, Diebold, Inc. (Automated 

Teller Machines); Lexington, NC 

An application has been submitted to 

the Foreign-Trade Zones Board (the 

Board) by the Piedmont Triad 

Partnership, grantee of FTZ 230, 

requesting manufacturing authority 

within the general-purpose zone for the 

manufacturing and warehousing 

facilities of Diebold, Inc. (Diebold), 

located in Lexington, North Carolina. 

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 September 16, 2004. 

The Diebold facility (135 employees) 

is located within Site 1 of FTZ 230, the 

Lexington Business Center, located at 

Hargrave Road and Business Interstate 

5, Lexington, Davidson County. The 

facility will be used for the 

manufacturing and warehousing of 

automated teller machines (HTS 

8472.90, duty-free). Components and 

materials sourced from abroad 

(representing 8–38% of all parts 

consumed in manufacturing) include: 

Card readers, dispensers, slide 

assemblies, power supplies, passbook 

printer modules, assy-cd’s, printers, 

cables, legend sets, encrypted pin pads, 

upper unit cash modules, safes, acceptor 

modules, keytops, vandal shields and 

screens, monitors, cassette recyclers, 

recyclers and ribbons (HTS 7007.29, 

8302.42, 8303.00, 8471.60, 8473.40, 

8504.40, 8537.10, 8544.41, 9612.10 duty 

rate ranges from duty-free to 7.9 %). 

FTZ procedures would exempt 

Diebold from Customs duty payments 

on the foreign components used in 

export production. The company 

anticipates that some 40 percent of the 

plant’s shipments will be exported. On 

its domestic sales, Diebold would be 

able to choose the duty rates during 

Customs entry procedures that apply to 

finished ATM’s (duty-free) for the 

foreign inputs noted above. The request 

indicates that the savings from FTZ 

procedures would help improve the 

plant’s international competitiveness. 

In accordance with the Board’s 

regulations, a member of the FTZ staff 

has been appointed examiner to 

investigate the application and report 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 one of 

the following addresses: 

1. Submissions Via Express/Package 

Delivery Services: Foreign-Trade-Zones 

Board, U.S. Department of Commerce, 

Franklin Court Building—Suite 4100W, 

1099 14th St. NW., Washington, DC 

20005; or 

2. Submissions Via the U.S. Postal 

Service: Foreign-Trade-Zones Board, 

U.S. Department of Commerce, FCB—

closing period for their receipt is 

November 23, 2004. Rebuttal comments 

in response to material submitted 

during the foregoing period may be 

submitted during the subsequent 15-day 

period (to December 8, 2004). 

A copy of the application and 

accompanying exhibits will be available
