[Docket 26–97]

Foreign-Trade Zone 50—Long Beach,

CA; Application for Subzone; L.A.

Gear, Inc. (Casual and Athletic

Footwear) Long Beach, CA

An application has been submitted to

the Foreign-Trade Zones Board (the

Board) by the Board of Harbor

Commissioners of the City of Long

Beach, grantee of FTZ 50, requesting

subzone status for the footwear

distribution facility of L.A. Gear, Inc.,

located in Ontario, California, some 40

miles northeast of Long Beach. 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 April 7, 1997.

The L.A. Gear facility (412,358 sq. ft.

on 19.08 acres; 149 employees) is

located at 1661 & 1777 South Vintage

Avenue in Ontario. It is used to

distribute a wide range of casual and

athletic shoes, most of which are

sourced from abroad. The products are

distributed throughout the U.S. and

abroad.

Zone procedures would exempt L.A.

Gear from Customs duty payments on

the foreign products that are reexported.

On its domestic sales, it would be able

to defer Customs duty payments on

merchandise that is sourced from

abroad. The application indicates that

zone savings would help improve the

international competitiveness of the

facility.

In accordance with the Board’s

regulations, a member of the FTZ staff

has been appointed examiner to

investigate the application and report 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 June 16, 1997. Rebuttal

comments in response to material

submitted during the foregoing period

may be submitted during the subsequent

15-day period July 1, 1997.

A copy of the application and

accompanying exhibits will be available

for public inspection at each of the

following locations:
