CLOSED MEETING: The members of the

Broadcasting Board of Governors (BBG)

will meet in closed session to review

and discuss a number of issues relating

to U.S. Government-funded nonmilitary international broadcasting.

They will address internal procedural,

budgetary, and personnel issues, as well

as sensitive foreign policy issues

relating to potential options in the U.S.

international broadcasting field. This

meeting is closed because if open it

likely would either disclose matters that

would be properly classified to be kept

secret in the interest of foreign policy

under the appropriate executive order (5

U.S.C. 552b.(c)(1)) or would disclose

information the premature disclosure of

which would be likely to significantly

frustrate implementation of a proposed

agency action. (5 U.S.C. 552b.(c)(9)(B))

In addition, part of the discussion will

relate solely to the internal personnel

and organizational issues of the BBG or

the International Broadcasting Bureau.

(5 U.S.C. 552b.(c) (2) and (6)) There will

also be a separate closed meeting of the

board of directors of RFE/RL, Inc., a

nonprofit private corporation funded by

grants from the Broadcasting Board of

Governors.

Foreign-Trade Zones Board

[Docket No. 73–97]

Foreign-Trade Zone 138—Columbus,

Ohio, Application for Foreign-Trade

Subzone Status, Lucent Technologies

Inc. (Telecommunications Equipment),

Columbus, OH

An application has been submitted to

the Foreign-Trade Zones Board (the

Board) by the Rickenbacker Port

Authority, grantee of FTZ 138,

requesting special-purpose subzone

status for the manufacturing and

distribution facility

(telecommunications equipment) of

Lucent Technologies Inc., located in

Columbus, Ohio. The application was

submitted pursuant to 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 29, 1997.

The Lucent facility (3 buildings/2

million square feet on 252 acres) are

located at 6200 E. Broad Street in

Columbus (Franklin County), Ohio. The

facilities (5,000 employees) are used for

the manufacture of telecommunications

equipment, including wireless

infrastructure products, and switching

and networking equipment. A number

of components are purchased from

abroad (ranging, on average, from 10–

30% of total material value) including

amplifiers, printed circuit boards,

semiconductors, integrated circuits,

resistors, connectors, cable, housings for

outlets, junctions and switches, wiring

devices, and parts for

telecommunications assemblies (1997

duty range: free-8.5%, most becoming

duty-free by 2000). Some 35 percent of

production is currently exported

(expected to increase to 50 percent by

2000).

Zone procedures would exempt

Lucent from Customs duty payments on

foreign components used in export

production. On its domestic sales,

Lucent would be able to choose the

lower duty rate that applies to the

finished products (4.8%–8.5%, most

becoming duty-free by 2000) for the

foreign components noted above. The

application indicates that the savings

from zone procedures would help

improve the plant’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 December 8, 1997. Rebuttal

comments in response to material

submitted during the foregoing period

may be submitted during the subsequent

15-day period to December 23, 1997. A

copy of the application and the

accompanying exhibits will be available

for public inspection at each of the

following locations.
