decrease in sales or production of each 

petitioning firm.

Foreign-Trade Zones Board 

[Docket 2–2009] 

Foreign-Trade Zone 122—Corpus 

Christi, TX; Request for Manufacturing 

Authority; Excalibar Minerals, LLC 

An application has been submitted to 

the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) Board 

(the Board) by the Port of Corpus Christi 

authority, grantee of FTZ 122, 

requesting authority on behalf of 

Excalibar Minerals, LLC (Excalibar) to 

perform barite milling under FTZ 

procedures within FTZ 122. 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 January 29, 2009. 

Excalibar has also applied for 

temporary/interim manufacturing 

authority at the Corpus Christi facility. 

The application was formally filed on 

November 20, 2008 (Docket T–5–2008, 

73 FR 73242, 12/2/08). 

The Excalibar facility (14 employees) 

is located at 3202 E. Navigation 

Boulevard in Corpus Christi, Texas 

(within Site 1). Under FTZ procedures, 

Excalibar would produce up to 175,000 

tons of ground barite (HTSUS 

2511.10.10) annually, primarily for the 

U.S. market. The foreign component 

that would be used in production 

(representing approximately 95 percent 

of total material inputs) is raw barite 

(HTSUS 2511.10.50), dutiable at $1.25 

per metric ton. 

FTZ procedures could exempt 

Excalibar from customs duty payments 

on the foreign component used in 

export production (less than 1 percent 

of shipments). On domestic sales, 

Excalibar would be able to choose the 

duty rate that applies to the finished 

product (duty-free) for the foreign input 

noted above that has a higher duty rate. 

The company may also realize certain 

logistical/procedural savings as well as 

savings on materials that become scrap/ 

waste during manufacturing. 

In accordance with the Board’s 

regulations, Christopher Kemp of the 

FTZ staff is designated examiner to 

investigate the application and report 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 listed below. The closing period 

for their receipt is April 6, 2009. 

Rebuttal comments in response to 

material submitted during the foregoing 

period may be submitted during the 

subsequent 15-day period to April 21, 

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 Web site, 

which is accessible via http://
