DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE 

Foreign-Trade Zones Board 

[Docket 17–2012] 

Foreign-Trade Zone 158—Vicksburg/ 

Jackson, MS; Application for 

Manufacturing Authority; Morgan 

Fabrics Corporation (Upholstered 

Furniture Covering Sets), Verona, MS 

An application has been submitted to 

the Foreign-Trade Zones Board (the 

Board) by the Greater Mississippi 

Foreign-Trade Zone, Inc., grantee of FTZ 

158, requesting manufacturing authority 

on behalf of Morgan Fabrics Corporation 

(MFC), to manufacture upholstered 

furniture covering sets under FTZ 

procedures within FTZ 158. 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 March 19, 2012. 

The MFC facility (33 employees) is 

located at 108 Lipford Road within the 

Tupelo Lee Industrial Park (Site 17) in 

Verona, Lee County, Mississippi. The 

application proposes that MFC would 

utilize foreign-origin ‘‘micro-denier 

suede’’ fabric (up to 3 million square 

yards per year) to be cut and sewn into 

upholstery covering sets (i.e., furniture 

parts) under FTZ procedures. The 

finished covering sets (HTSUS 9401.90; 

duty free) would be shipped from the 

zone to U.S. furniture manufacturing 

plants where they would be 

incorporated into upholstered furniture. 

The proposed scope of authority 

under FTZ procedures would only 

involve duty savings on foreign origin, 

micro-denier suede fabrics (classified 

under HTSUS Headings 5407, 5512, 

5515, 5516, 5903, 5906, 6001, 6005, 

6006; duty rate range: 2.7–17.2%) 

finished with a caustic soda wash 

process, which the applicant indicates 

are not produced by U.S. mills. The 

application indicates that MFC does not 

seek FTZ benefits on any other foreign 

fabrics that the company may use in 

production at the facility (i.e., full duties 

would be paid on all such fabrics). 

On foreign micro-denier suede fabric 

used in production for the U.S. market, 

the company would be able to choose 

the finished upholstery covering set 

(i.e., furniture part) duty rate (free) after 

the fabric has been cut, sewn, and 

formed into covering sets, at which time 

they would be entered for consumption 

from the zone. The application indicates 

that the savings from FTZ procedures 

would help improve the facility’s 

international competitiveness. 

In accordance with the Board’s 

regulations, Pierre Duy of the FTZ Staff 

is designated examiner to evaluate and 

analyze the facts and information 

presented in the application and case 

record and to report findings and 

recommendations 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 below. The closing period for 

their receipt is May 22, 2012. Rebuttal 

comments in response to material 

submitted during the foregoing period 

may be submitted during the subsequent 

15-day period to June 6, 2012. 

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 www.trade.gov/

Foreign-Trade Zones Board 

[Docket 18–2012] 

Foreign-Trade Zone 64—Jacksonville, 

FL; Application for Reorganization 

(Expansion of Service Area) Under the 

Alternative Site Framework 

An application has been submitted to 

the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) Board 

(the Board) by the Jacksonville Port 

Authority, grantee of FTZ 64, requesting 

authority to reorganize its zone to 

expand its service area under the 

alternative site framework (ASF) 

adopted by the Board (74 FR 1170, 1/12/ 

09 (correction 74 FR 3987, 1/22/09); 75 

FR 71069–71070, 11/22/10). The ASF is 

an option for grantees for the 

establishment or reorganization of 

general-purpose zones and can permit 

significantly greater flexibility in the 

designation of new ‘‘usage-driven’’ FTZ 

sites for operators/users located within 

a grantee’s ‘‘service area’’ in the context 

of the Board’s standard 2,000-acre 

activation limit for a general-purpose 

zone project. The application was 

submitted pursuant to the Foreign-Trade
