SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

The Foreign Trade Zones Application 

is the vehicle by which individual firms 

or organizations apply for foreign-trade 

zone (FTZ) status, for subzone status, for 

manufacturing authority (including 

temporary/interim authority), or for 

expansion of an existing zone. The FTZ 

Act and Regulations require that an 

application with a description of the 

proposed project be made to the FTZ 

Board (19 U.S.C. 81b and 81f; 15 CFR 

400.24–26) before a license can be 

issued or a zone can be expanded. The 

Act and Regulations require that 

applications contain detailed 

information on facilities, financing, 

operational plans, proposed 

manufacturing operations, need, and 

economic impact. Manufacturing 

activity in zones, which is primarily 

conducted in subzones, can involve 

issues related to domestic industry and 

trade policy impact. Such applications 

must include specific information on 

the Customs-tariff related savings that 

result from zone procedures and the 

economic consequences of permitting 

such savings. The FTZ Board needs 

complete and accurate information on 

the proposed operation and its 

economic effects because the Act and 

Regulations authorize the Board to 

restrict or prohibit operations that are 

detrimental to the public interest. 

II. Method of Collection 

U.S. firms or organizations submit 

applications to the Foreign-Trade Zones 

Board. 

III. Data 

OMB Number: 0625–0139. 

Form Number: N/A. 

Type of Review: Regular Submission. 

Affected Public: Business or other forprofit. 

Estimated Number of Respondents:

145. 

Estimated Time Per Response: 20 to 

120 hours (depending on type of 

application). 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 9,180. 

Estimated Total Annual Costs: The 

estimated annual cost for this collection 

is $1,335,765.00 ($371,970.00 for 

applicants and $963,975.00 for the 

federal government). 

IV. Request for Comments 

Comments are invited on (a) whether 

the proposed collection of information 

is necessary for the proper performance 

of the functions of the agency, including 

whether the information shall have 

practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden 

(including hours and costs) of the 

proposed collection information; (c) 

ways to enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; (d) ways to minimize the 

burden of the collection of information 

on respondents, including through the 

use of automated collection techniques 

or forms of information technology. 

Comments submitted in response to 

this notice will be summarized and/or 

included in the request for OMB 

approval of this information collection; 

they also will become a matter of public 

record.
