[Docket 64–97]

Foreign-Trade Zone 124—Gramercy,

LA, Application for Subzone Status,

Bollinger Shipyards, Inc.

(Shipbuilding)

An application has been submitted to

the Foreign-Trade Zones Board (the

Board) by the South Louisiana Port

Commission, grantee of FTZ 124,

requesting special-purpose subzone

status for the shipbuilding facility of

Bollinger Shipyards, Inc. (BSI), located

in Lockport, Louisiana. 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

August 11, 1997.

The BSI shipyard (250 acres, 334,000

sq.ft., 560 employees) is located at 8365

State Highway 308, Lockport

(LaFourche Parish), Louisiana, and is

used in the construction, repair, and

conversion of commercial and military

vessels for domestic and international

customers. Foreign components used at

the BSI shipyard (up to 30% of total)

include propulsion units, engines and

parts, gears, pumps, pulleys,

compressors and parts, measuring

instruments (duty rate range: free—6%,

ad valorem).

FTZ procedures would exempt BSI

from Customs duty payments on the

foreign components used in export

activity. On its domestic sales, the

company would be able to choose the

duty rate that applies to finished

oceangoing vessels (duty free) for the

foreign-origin components noted above.

The manufacturing activity conducted

under FTZ procedures would be subject

to the ‘‘standard shipyard restriction’’

applicable to foreign-origin steel mill

products (e.g., pipe and plate), which

requires that full duties be paid on such

items. The application indicates that the

savings from FTZ procedures would

help improve the facility’s international

competitiveness.

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 three copies)

shall be addressed to the Board’s

Executive Secretary at the address

below. The closing period for their

receipt is October 21, 1997. Rebuttal

comments in response to material

submitted during the foregoing period

may be submitted during the subsequent

15-day period (to November 5, 1997).

A copy of the application will be

available for public inspection at the

following locations:

Service, P.O. Box 490, 110 North
