Foreign-Trade Zones Board 

[Docket 38–2009] 

Foreign–Trade Zone 196–5; Fort Worth, 

Texas 

Application for Processing Authority 

ATC Logistics & Electronics 

(Personal Navigation Devices) 

Fort Worth, Texas 

An application has been submitted to 

the Foreign-Trade Zones Board (the 

Board) by ATC Logistics & Electronics 

(ATCLE), an operator of FTZ 196, 

requesting processing authority within 

FTZ 196 in Fort Worth, Texas. 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, 2009. 

The ATCLE facility (817 employees, 6 

million unit capacity) is located within 

Site 2 of FTZ 196. The facility is used 

for the kitting of personal navigation 

devices. Components and materials 

sourced from abroad (representing 97% 

of the value of the finished product) 

include: LCD tape; plastic self-adhesive 

labels; dummy SIM cards; labels; LCD 

film; screw covers; plastic brackets and 

washers; USB connector housings; foam 

strips; rubber O-rings, gaskets, buffers 

and serial port plug covers; foam fronts; 

leather bags and holsters; screws and 

nuts; locking washers; anti-ESD foil; 

LCD copper; antennas and parts; 

speaker labels; steel brackets; label 

printers; disk drives; stylus pens; USB 

travel chargers with captive cables; 

power adapters; batteries; microphones; 

speakers; recorded media; GPS units; 

remote controls; FM transmitters; 

keyboards; SIM cards; plastics kits; SD 

card doors; shield cases; car kits; LCD 

modules; capacitors; keypads; rail 

clamps; switches; cables; adaptors; 

integrated circuits; security tags; 

adhesive mounting discs; bean bag 

mounts; LCD optis unified (flat panel 

display); LCD multi-source (flat panel 

display 5; high definition); battery 

analyzers; and battery adapters (duty 

rate ranges from duty-free to 6.5%). 

FTZ procedures could exempt ATCLE 

from customs duty payments on the 

foreign components used in export 

production. The company anticipates 

that some 10% percent of the plant’s 

shipments will be exported. On its 

domestic sales, ATCLE would be able to 

choose the duty rates during customs 

entry procedures that apply to the 

assembled personal navigation device 

kits (duty-free) for the foreign inputs 

noted above. FTZ designation would 

further allow ATCLE to realize logistical 

benefits through the use of weekly 

customs entry procedures. Customs 

duties also could possibly be deferred or 

reduced on foreign status production 

equipment. The request indicates that 

the savings from FTZ procedures would 

help improve the facility’s international 

competitiveness. 

In accordance with the Board’s 

regulations, Elizabeth Whiteman of the 

FTZ Staff is designated examiner to 

evaluate and analyze the facts and 

information presented in the application 

and case record and to report findings 

and recommendations 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 the 

address below. The closing period for 

their receipt is November 27, 2009. 

Rebuttal comments in response to 

material submitted during the foregoing 

period may be submitted during the 

subsequent 15-day period to December 

14, 2009. 

A copy of the application will be 

available for public inspection at the 

Office of the Executive Secretary, 

Foreign–Trade Zones Board, Room 

2111, U.S. Department of Commerce, 

1401 Constitution Avenue, NW, 

Washington, DC 20230–0002, and in the 

‘‘Reading Room’’ section of the Board’s 

website, which is accessible via
