DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE 

[Foreign-Trade Zones Board; Docket 11– 

2012] 

Foreign-Trade Zone 104—Savannah, 

GA Expansion of Manufacturing 

Authority Mitsubishi Power Systems 

Americas, Inc. (Power Generation 

Turbines) Pooler, GA 

An application has been submitted to 

the Foreign-Trade Zones Board (the 

Board) by the Savannah Airport 

Commission, grantee of FTZ 104, 

requesting an expansion of the scope of 

manufacturing authority approved 

within Site 12 of FTZ 104, on behalf of 

Mitsubishi Power Systems Americas, 

Inc. (MPSA), in Pooler, Georgia. 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 February 23, 2012. 

The MPSA facility (‘‘Savannah 

Machinery Works,’’ 175 employees, 119 

acres) is located at 1000 Pine Meadow 

Drive within the Pooler Megasite (Site 

12) in Pooler (Chatham County), 

Georgia. In 2011, the FTZ Board 

approved a request submitted by the 

Savannah Airport Commission on 

behalf of MPSA for authority to 

manufacture and repair steam and 

natural gas power generation turbine 

components (combustor baskets, 

transition pieces, and rotors) for export 

and the domestic market (Board Order 

1757, 76 FR 28418, 5–17–2011). 

The current application involves an 

expansion of MPSA’s existing scope of 

manufacturing authority to include 

additional finished products—steam 

and natural gas power generation 

turbines (up to 24 turbines per year). 

New components and materials sourced 

from abroad (representing 40% of the 

value of the finished turbines) include: 

Rubber o-rings and seals, articles of steel 

(plates, flanges, expansion joints, 

covers), fasteners, compressors, bearing 

housings, metal gaskets, mechanical 

seals and rings, actuators, thermocouple 

assemblies, vibration sensors, and 

automated controllers (duty rate ranges 

from free to 6.2%). 

FTZ procedures could exempt MPSA 

from customs duty payments on the 

additional foreign components used in 

export production. The company 

anticipates that up to 15 percent of the 

plant’s turbine production will be 

exported. On its domestic sales, MPSA 

would be able to choose the duty rates 

during customs entry procedures that 

apply to steam and gas power 

generation turbines (duty rates: 2.5, 

6.7%) for the additional foreign inputs
