Foreign-Trade Zones Board

[Docket 24–98]

Foreign-Trade Zone 169—Manatee

County, Florida Application For

Foreign-Trade Subzone Status Aso

Corporation (Adhesive Bandages)

Sarasota County, Florida

An application has been submitted to

the Foreign-Trade Zones Board (the

Board) by the Manatee County Port

Authority, grantee of FTZ 169,

requesting special-purpose subzone

status for the first aid dressings

manufacturing facility (adhesive

bandages, sterile pads, waterproof

adhesive tapes) of Aso Corporation

(Aso), located in Sarasota County,

Florida. 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 May

5, 1998.

The Aso facility (65,000 sq. ft. on 38

acres) is located at 300 Sarasota Center

Blvd., within the International Trade

Industrial Park, east of Sarasota

(Sarasota County), Florida. The facility

(148 employees) is used for the

manufacture of first aid dressings,

including adhesive bandages, sterile

pads, and waterproof adhesive tapes.

However, the applicant is only

requesting to use FTZ procedures for the

production of adhesive bandages

(HTSUS 3005.10.50) using foreignsourced adhesive tape (HTSUS

3919.90.50).

Zone procedures would enable Aso to

choose the lower duty rate that applies
Federal Register / Vol. 63, No. 93 /Thursday, May 14, 1998 / Notices 26777

to the finished products (duty-free)

instead of the duty rate that would

otherwise apply to foreign adhesive tape

(duty rate—5.8%). The application

indicates that the savings from zone

procedures would help improve the

plant’s competitiveness and increase

exports.

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 July 13, 1998. Rebuttal

comments in response to material

submitted during the foregoing period

may be submitted during the subsequent

15-day period to July 28, 1998. A copy

of the application and the

accompanying exhibits will be available

for public inspection at each of the

following locations:
