SUMMARY: This action allocates calendar 

year 2010 duty exemptions for watch 

assembly producers (‘‘program 

producers’’) located in the United States 

Virgin Islands (‘‘USVI’’) pursuant to

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant 

to the Act, the Departments of the 

Interior and Commerce (‘‘the 

Departments’’) share responsibility for 

the allocation of duty exemptions 

among program producers in the United 

States insular possessions and the 

Northern Mariana Islands. In 

accordance with section 303.3(a) of the 

regulations (15 CFR 303.3(a)), the total 

quantity of duty-free insular watches 

and watch movements for calendar year 

2010 is 1,866,000 units for the USVI. 

This amount was established in 

Changes in Watch, Watch Movement 

and Jewelry Program for the U.S. Insular 

Possessions, 65 FR 8048 (February 17, 

2000). There are currently no program 

producers in Guam, American Samoa or 

the Northern Mariana Islands. 

The criteria for the calculation of the 

calendar year 2010 duty-exemption 

allocations among program producers 

within a particular territory are set forth 

in Section 303.14 of the regulations (15 

CFR 303.14). The Departments have 

verified and, where appropriate, 

adjusted the data submitted in 

application form ITA–334P by USVI 

program producers and have inspected 

these producers’ operations in 

accordance with Section 303.5 of the 

regulations (15 CFR 303.5). 

In calendar year 2009, USVI program 

producers shipped 73,096 watches and 

watch movements into the customs 

territory of the United States under the 

Act. The dollar amount of corporate 

income taxes paid by USVI program 

producers during calendar year 2009, 

and the creditable wages and benefits 

paid by these producers during calendar 

year 2009 to residents of the territory 

was a combined total of $1,501,892. 

The calendar year 2010 USVI annual 

duty exemption allocations, based on 

the data verified by the Departments, are 

as follows: 

Program producer Annual 

allocation 

Belair Quartz, Inc .................. 500,000 

The balance of the units allocated to 

the USVI is available for new entrants 

into the program or existing program 

producers who request a supplement to 

their allocation.
