the FTZ Act, as amended (19 U.S.C.

Section 1743.11. 

The proposed zone would be the 

second general-purpose zone in the

of entry area. The existing zone is as 

follows: FTZ 229, Charleston,West

Grant of Authority for Subzone Status, 

Mitsubishi Electric Power Products, 

Inc., (Circuit Breakers), Warrendale 

and Freedom, PA 

Pursuant to its authority under the 

Foreign-Trade Zones Act of June 18, 

1934, as amended (19 U.S.C. 81a–81u), 

the Foreign-Trade Zones Board (the 

Board) adopts the following Order: 

Whereas, the Foreign-Trade Zones Act 

provides for ‘‘* * * the establishment 

* * * of foreign-trade zones in ports of 

entry of the United States, to expedite 

and encourage foreign commerce, and 

for other purposes,’’ and authorizes the 

Foreign-Trade Zones Board (the Board) 

to grant to qualified corporations the 

privilege of establishing foreign-trade 

zones in or adjacent to U.S. Customs 

ports of entry; 

Whereas, the Board’s regulations (15 

CFR part 400) provide for the 

establishment of special-purpose 

subzones when existing zone facilities 

cannot serve the specific use involved, 

and when the activity results in a 

significant public benefit and is in the 

public interest; 

Whereas, the Regional Industrial

Southwestern Pennsylvania, grantee of 

Foreign-Trade Zone 33, has made 

application for authority to establish 

special-purpose subzone status at the 

circuit breaker manufacturing facilities 

of Mitsubishi Electric Power Products,

Whereas, the application was 

amended on January 20, 2004, to 

expand the list of foreign-sourced 

components to be included within the 

scope of authority; 

Whereas, notice inviting public 

comment was given in the Federal 

Register (68 FR 44281, 7–28–2003; 69 

FR 8379, 2–24–2004); and, 

Whereas, the Board adopts the 

findings and recommendations of the 

examiner’s report, and finds that the 

requirements of the FTZ Act and 

Board’s regulations are satisfied, and 

that approval of the application, as 

amended, is in the public interest;

Review of Oil/Petrochemical Refinery 

Subzone Activity 

Background. The Foreign-Trade 

Zones Board (the Board) has authorized 

81 refinery/petrochemical complexes to 

conduct crude oil/petrochemical 

product refining activity under FTZ 

procedures. In 2000, active refinery/

petrochemical subzones requested and 

were approved an indefinite extension 

of their NPF authority, which initially 

had been granted for a five-year period 

(Board Order 1116, 65 FR 52696, 8/30/

2000). NPF authority involves full 

access to FTZ procedures for export 

activity and, with regard to products 

sold in the U.S., the ability to choose the 

Customs duty rates that apply to certain 

petrochemical products and refinery byproducts (duty-free), by admitting 

incoming foreign inputs, such as crude 

oil, in non-privileged foreign status. 

Such petrochemicals and by-products 

account for about 20 to 25 percent of 

refinery activity, on average. [NPF 

authority does not apply to the foreign 

inputs used to produce other refinery 

products, such as gasoline, jet fuel, and 

heating oil (some 75–80% of output); 

they would continue to be subject to 

their normal duty rates.] The extension
