Hazard Investigation Board (CSB). 

DATES: Effective December 6, 2011. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: John

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 5 U.S.C. 

4314(c)(1) requires each agency to 

establish, in accordance with 

regulations prescribed by the Office of 

Personnel Management, a performance 

review board (PRB). The PRB reviews 

initial performance ratings of members 

of the Senior Executive Service (SES) 

and makes recommendations as to final 

annual performance ratings for senior 

executives. Because the CSB is a small 

independent Federal agency, the SES 

members of the CSB’s PRB are drawn 

from other Federal agencies. 

The Chairperson of the CSB has 

appointed the following individual to 

the CSB Senior Executive Service 

Performance Review Board: 

PRB Members—Ruth Samardick, 

Senior Policy Advisor, Federal Mine 

Safety and Health Review Commission; 

Fran Leonard, Chief of Staff, Federal 

Mediation and Conciliation Service and; 

Nadine Mancini, General Counsel, 

Occupational Safety and Health Review 

Commission. 

Mary Johnson (General Counsel, 

National Mediation Board) continues to 

serve as a Member of the PRB, as 

announced in the Federal Register of 

May 26, 2011 (76 FR 30646). 

This notice is published in the 

Federal Register pursuant to the 

requirement of 5 U.S.C. 4314(c)(4).

DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE 

Foreign-Trade Zones Board 

[Docket 76–2011] 

Foreign-Trade Zone 15—Kansas City, 

MO; Application for Manufacturing 

Authority; Blount, Inc. (Log Splitters); 

Kansas City, MO 

An application has been submitted to 

the Foreign-Trade Zones Board (the 

Board) by the Greater Kansas City 

Foreign Trade Zone, Inc., grantee of FTZ 

15, requesting manufacturing authority 

on behalf of Blount, Inc. (Blount), 

located in Kansas City, Missouri. 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 November 29, 2011. 

The Blount facility (170 employees, 

100,000 unit capacity) is located within 

Site 3 of FTZ 15. The facility is used for 

the assembly, warehousing and 

distribution of forestry, farm and log 

products. FTZ manufacturing authority 

is being requested for the assembly of 

gasoline powered log splitters. 

Components and materials sourced from 

abroad (representing 30% of the value of 

the finished product) include: Beams, 

cylinders, pumps, tanks, tires, wedges, 

tongue attachments, beam weldments 

and non-threaded fasteners (duty rate 

ranges from 2.8 to 4.7%). The 

application also requests authority to 

include a broad range of inputs and 

finished forestry, farm and log products 

that Blount may produce under FTZ 

procedures in the future. New major 

activity involving these inputs/products 

would require review by the FTZ Board. 

FTZ procedures could exempt Blount 

from customs duty payments on the 

foreign components used in export 

production. The company anticipates 

that some 10 percent of the plant’s 

shipments will be exported. On its 

domestic sales, Blount would be able to 

choose the duty rates during customs 

entry procedures that apply to log 

splitters (duty rate 2.4%) for the foreign 

inputs noted above. FTZ designation 

would further allow Blount to realize 

logistical benefits through the use of 

weekly customs entry procedures. 

Customs duties also could possibly be 

deferred or reduced on foreign status 

production equipment. The request 

indicates that the savings from FTZ 

procedures would help improve the 

plant’s international competitiveness. 

In accordance with the Board’s 

regulations, Elizabeth Whiteman 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 February 6, 2012. 

Rebuttal comments in response to 

material submitted during the foregoing 

period may be submitted during the 

subsequent 15-day period to February 

20, 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 http://www.
