Canada. Under U.S. export control law,

exports to Canada rarely require an

export license. This important rule

facilitates the substantial trade between

the closely connected U.S. and

Canadian economies. The license

exception for Canada applies, however,

only to goods intended for use in

Canada. In this case, Rossel abused this

exception. To abuse this exception is to

risk losing it. A violation such as this is

a serious matter and should receive a

penalty that demonstrates that fact. The

ALJ was correct in recommending the

imposition of a ten-year period of denial

of export privileges.

Accordingly, it is therefore ordered,

First, that, for a period of ten years from

the date of this Order, William A.

Roessl, individually and formerly doing

business as Enigma Industries, 145–B

Crescent, Beverly Hills, California

90202, and all his successors, assignees,

officers, representatives, agents and

employees, whenever acting within the

scope of their employment with Roessl,

may not, directly or indirectly,

participate in any way in any

transaction involving any commodity,

software or technology (hereinafter

collectively referred to as ‘‘item’’)

exported or to be exported from the

United States that is subject to the

Regulations, or in any other activity

subject to the Regulations, including,

but not limited to:

A. Applying for, obtaining, or using

any license, License Exception, or

export control document;

B. Carrying on negotiations

concerning, or ordering, buying,

receiving, using, selling, delivering,

storing, disposing of, forwarding,

transporting, financing, or otherwise

servicing in any way, any transaction

involving any item exported or to be

exported from the Untied States that is

subject to the Regulations, or in any

other activity subject to the Regulations;

or

C. Benefiting in any way from any

transaction involving any item exported

or to be exported from the United States

that is subject to the Regulations, or in

any other activity subject to the

Regulations.

Second, that no person may, directly

or indirectly, do any of the following:

A. Export or reexport to or on behalf

of the denied person any item subject to

the Regulations;

B. Take any action that facilitates the

acquisition or attempted acquisition by

the denied person of the ownership,

possession, or control of any item

subject to the Regulations that has been

or will be exported from the United

States, including financing or other

support activities related to a

transaction whereby the denied person

acquires or attempts to acquire such

ownership, possession or control;

C. Take any action to acquire from or

to facilitate the acquisition or attempted

acquisition from the denied person of

any item subject to the Regulations that

has been exported from the United

States;

D. Obtain from the denied person in

the United States any item subject to the

Regulations with knowledge or reason

to know that the item will be, or is

intended to be, exported from the

United States; or

E. Engage in any transaction to service

any item subject to the Regulations that

has been or will be exported from the

United States and that is owned,

possessed or controlled by the denied

person, or service any item, of whatever

origin, that is owned, possessed or

controlled by the denied person if such

service involves the use of any item

subject to the Regulations that has been

or will be exported from the United

States. For purposes of this paragraph,

servicing means installation,

maintenance, repair, modification or

testing.

Third, that, after notice and

opportunity for comment as provided in

Section 766.23 of the Regulations, any

person, firm, corporation, or business

organization related to the denied

person by affiliation, ownership,

control, or position of responsibility in

the conduct of trade or related services

may also be made subject to the

provisions of this Order.

Fourth, that this Order does not

prohibit any export, reexport, or other

transaction subject to the Regulations

where the only items involved that are

subject to the Regulations are the

foreign-produced direct product of U.S.-

origin technology.

Fifth, that this Order shall be served

on Roessl and on BXA, and shall be

published in the Federal Register.

This Order, which constitutes the

final agency action in this matter, is

effective immediately.

Dated: July 22, 1997.

William A. Reinsch,

Under Secretary for Export Administration.

DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE

Foreign-Trade Zones Board

[Docket 61–97]

Proposed Foreign-Trade Zone,

Charleston, West Virginia Area;

Application and Public Hearing

An application has been submitted to

the Foreign-Trade Zones Board (the

Board) by the West Virginia Economic

Development Authority (a West Virginia

public corporation), to establish a

general-purpose foreign-trade zone in

the Charleston, West Virginia area,

within the Charleston, West Virginia

port of entry. 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 July 22,

1997. The applicant is authorized to

apply for foreign-trade zone authority

under West Virginia Code § 31–15–6.

Presently pending with the Board is a

separate application for a generalpurpose zone in Wood and Jackson

Counties (filed 5/23/97, Doc. 43–97).

Thus, the zone project proposed in this

application would become the second

one in the Charleston, West Virginia,

Customs port of entry area. A related

application for FTZ subzone status at

the Toyota Motor Manufacturing West

Virginia, Inc. plant in Buffalo, West

Virginia is being filed simultaneously

with this one (Doc. 62–97).

The proposed new zone would

encompass three warehouse buildings

(24 acres) located at the Charleston

Ordnance Center (78 acres), 3100

MacCorkle Avenue S.W., South

Charleston. The application contains

evidence of the need for generalpurpose zone services at the proposed

site. Several firms have indicated an

interest in using zone procedures at the

on-site facilities for warehousing/

distribution activity. Specific

manufacturing approvals are not being

sought at this time. Requests would be

made to the Board on a case-by-case

basis.

In accordance with the Board’s

regulations, a member of the FTZ Staff

has been designated examiner to

investigate the application and report to

the Board.

As part of the investigation, the

Commerce examiner will hold a public

hearing on September 11, 1997, at 9:00

a.m., West Virginia House of Delegates,

Public Hearing Room, Building One,

Room 215-E, State Capitol Complex,

1900 Kanawha Boulevard East,

Charleston, West Virginia 25311.

shall be addressed to the Board’s

Executive Secretary at the address

below. The closing period for their

receipt is September 26, 1997. Rebuttal

comments in response to material

submitted during the foregoing period

may be submitted during the subsequent

Foreign-Trade Zones Board

[Docket 62–97]

Proposed Foreign-Trade Zone—

Charleston, West Virginia Area,

Application for Subzone, Toyota Motor

Manufacturing West Virginia, Inc. (Auto

Engines), Buffalo, West Virginia

An application has been submitted to

the Foreign-Trade Zones Board (the

Board) by the West Virginia Economic

Development Authority (WVEDA) (a

West Virginia public corporation),

requesting special-purpose subzone

status for the auto engine manufacturing

plant of Toyota Motor Manufacturing

West Virginia, Inc. (TMMWV), in

Buffalo (Putnam County), West Virginia.

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 July 22, 1997. WVEDA has an

application pending with the FTZ Board

for the establishment of a generalpurpose foreign-trade zone in the

Charleston, West Virginia, area. It is

authorized to make such proposals

under West Virginia Code § 31–15–6.

The new TMMWV plant (currently

under construction) is located on a 229-

acre site located on WV State Route 62

at WV Secondary Route 32/2 in Buffalo,

West Virginia, some 20 miles northwest

of Charleston. The facility (600,000 sq.

ft., 300 employees, as proposed) would

be used to produce some 400,000 auto

engines per year. Parts and materials

that would initially be sourced from

abroad include: valve components,

engine blocks, cylinder heads, bushings,

gauges, gaskets, insulators, camshaft

bearings, bearing caps, piston pin rings,

knock control and temperature sensors,

and oil pressure switches (duty rate

range: free-3.4%). The application

indicates that the level of foreign parts

used in production will decline to 35

percent (of finished engine value) in the

future. The finished engines would be

shipped primarily to the NUMMI (GMToyota) assembly in California and the

Toyota assembly plant in Ontario,

Canada.

FTZ procedures would exempt

TMMWV from the payment of Customs

duties on foreign merchandise that is

exported. On its domestic sales, the

company would be able to choose the

duty rate that applies to finished

engines (2.6%) instead of the duty rates

that would otherwise apply to the

foreign components noted above.

TMMWV would also have the option to

ship the engines for incorporation into

autos at domestic auto assembly plants

that operate under FTZ procedures, in

which case the duty rate applicable to

finished autos (2.5%) would apply. FTZ

procedures would allow the deferral of

duty payments on foreign capital

equipment until fully installed and

ready for production. FTZ status would

also make the plant eligible for state/

local exemptions on certain inventory

taxes.

In accordance with the Board’s

regulations, a member of the FTZ Staff

has been designated examiner to

investigate the application and report to

the Board.

Public comment on the application 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 September 26, 1997. Rebuttal

comments in response to material

submitted during the foregoing period

may be submitted during the subsequent

15-day period (to October 14, 1997). A

copy of the application and

accompanying exhibits will be available
