Foreign-Trade Zones Board

[Order No. 1727]


Grant of Authority for Subzone Status; ThyssenKrupp Steel and 
Stainless USA, LLC; (Stainless and Carbon Steel Products) Calvert, AL

    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 to grant 
to qualified corporations the privilege of establishing foreign-trade 
zones in or adjacent to U.S. Customs and Border Protection 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 City of Mobile, grantee of Foreign-Trade Zone 82, has 
made application to the Board for authority to establish a special-
purpose subzone at the stainless and carbon steel products 
manufacturing facility of ThyssenKrupp Steel and Stainless USA, LLC, 
located in Calvert, Alabama (FTZ Docket 51-2008, filed 10-1-2008);
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment has been given in the 
Federal Register (73 FR 58535-58536, 10-7-08; 74 FR 38401, 8-3-09; 74 
FR 47921, 9-18-09; 75 FR 17692-17693, 4-7-2010) and the application has 
been processed pursuant to the FTZ Act and the Board's regulations; 
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 would be satisfied, and that the proposal would be 
in the public interest if subject to the restrictions listed below;
    Now, therefore, the Board hereby grants authority for subzone 
status for activity related to the manufacturing of stainless and 
carbon steel products at the facility of ThyssenKrupp Steel and 
Stainless USA, LLC, located in Calvert, Alabama (Subzone 82I), as 
described in the application and Federal Register notice, subject to 
the FTZ Act and the Board's regulations, including Section 400.28, and 
further subject to the following conditions:
    1. Privileged foreign status (19 CFR 146.41) must be elected on all 
foreign status ferrosilicon, molybdenum and titanium (HTSUS 7202.21, 
8102.94, 8108.20 and 8108.90) admitted to the subzone.
    2. Approval is for an initial period of five years, subject to 
extension upon review.
    3. ThyssenKrupp shall submit supplemental reporting data, as 
specified by the Executive Secretary, for the purpose of monitoring by 
the FTZ staff.
