provision of law, no person is required 

to respond to, nor shall any person be 

subject to a penalty for failure to comply 

with, a collection of information subject 

to the requirements of the PRA unless 

that collection of information displays a

Executive Order 12866 (Regulatory 

Planning and Review): This notice has 

been determined to be not significant for 

purposes of Executive Order 12866. 

Executive Order 13132 (Federalism): 

It has been determined that this notice 

does not contain policies with 

Federalism implications as that term is 

defined in Executive Order 13132. 

Administrative Procedure Act/ 

Regulatory Flexibility Act: Prior notice 

and an opportunity for public comments 

are not required by the Administrative 

Procedure Act or any other law for rules 

concerning grants, benefits, and 

contracts (5 U.S.C. 553(a)(2)). Because 

notice and opportunity for comment are 

not required pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553 or 

any other law, the analytical 

requirements of the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) are 

inapplicable. Therefore, a regulatory 

flexibility analysis has not been 

prepared.

Pursuant to its authority under the 

Foreign–Trade Zones Act of June 18, 1934, as 

amended (19 U.S.C. 81a–81u) (the Act), the 

Foreign–Trade Zones Board (the Board) 

adopts the following Order: 

Whereas, the Bridgeport Port 

Authority, grantee of FTZ 76, has 

requested authority under Section 

400.28 (a)(2) of the Board’s regulations 

on behalf of Derecktor Shipyards Conn., 

LLC, to construct and repair passenger 

vessels under FTZ procedures within 

FTZ 76 Site 4, Bridgeport, Connecticut 

(FTZ Docket 25–2008, filed 4–23–2008); 

Whereas, the proposed shipbuilding 

and repair activity would be subject to 

the ‘‘standard shipyard restriction’’ (full 

customs duties paid on steel mill 

products); 

Whereas, notice inviting public 

comment has been given in the Federal 

Register (73 FR 24219, 5–2–2008); 

Whereas, the Board adopts the 

findings and recommendations of the 

examiner’s report, and finds that the 

requirements of the FTZ Act and the 

Board’s regulations would be satisfied, 

and that approval of the application 

would be in the public interest; 

Now, therefore, the Board hereby 

grants authority for the construction and 

repair of passenger vessels within FTZ 

76 for Derecktor Shipyards Conn., LLC, 

as described in the application and 

Federal Register notice, subject to the 

Act and the Board’s regulations, 

including Section 400.28, and the 

following special conditions: 

1. Any foreign steel mill product 

admitted to FTZ 76 for the DSC 

activity, including plate, angles, 

shapes, channels, rolled steel stock, 

bars, pipes and tubes, not 

incorporated into merchandise 

otherwise classified, and which is 

used in manufacturing, shall be 

subject to customs duties in 

accordance with applicable law, 

unless the Executive Secretary 

determines that the same item is not 

then being produced by a domestic 

steel mill. 

2. DSC shall meet its obligation under 

15 CFR § 400.28(a)(3) by annually 

advising the Board’s Executive 

Secretary as to significant new 

contracts with appropriate 

information concerning foreign 

purchases otherwise dutiable, so that 

the Board may consider whether any 

foreign dutiable items are being 

imported for manufacturing in the 

zone primarily because of FTZ 

procedures and whether the Board 

should consider requiring customs 

duties to be paid on such items. 

3. All foreign–origin mooring lines 

(HTSUS 5607.50) and linens (HTSUS 

Heading 6302) must be admitted to 

the zone in privileged foreign status

Wolverine World Wide, Inc. (Footwear

Pursuant to its authority under the 

Foreign–Trade Zones Act of June 18, 1934, as 

amended (19 U.S.C. 81a–81u), the Foreign– 

Trade Zones Board (the Board) adopts the 

following Order: 

Whereas, the Foreign–Trade Zones 

Act provides for ‘‘...the establishment... 

of foreign–trade zones in ports of entry 

of the United States, to expedite and 

encourage foreign commerce, and for 

other purposes,’’ and authorizes the 

Foreign–Trade Zones Board to grant 

qualified corporations the privilege of 

establishing foreign–trade zones in or 

adjacent to U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection ports of entry; 

Whereas, the Board’s regulations (15 

CFR Part 400) provide for the 

establishment of special–purpose 

subzones when existing zone facilities 

cannot serve the specific use involved, 

and when the activity results in 

significant public benefit and is in the 

public interest; 

Whereas, the Kent–Ottawa-Muskegon 

Foreign Trade Zone Authority, grantee 

of Foreign–Trade Zone 189, has made 

application to the Board for authority to 

establish a special–purpose subzone at 

the footwear and apparel distribution 

and processing facilities of Wolverine 

World Wide, Inc., located in Rockford, 

Cedar Springs and Howard City, 

Michigan (FTZ Docket 47–2008, filed 8/ 

25/08); 

Whereas, notice inviting public 

comment was given in the Federal 

Register (73 FR 51440, 9/03/08); and, 

Whereas, the Board adopts the 

findings and recommendations of the 

examiner’s report, and finds that the 

requirements of the FTZ Act and the 

Board’s regulations are satisfied, and 

that approval of the application would 

be in the public interest; 

Now, therefore, the Board hereby 

grants authority for subzone status for 

activity related to footwear and apparel 

distribution and processing at the 

facilities of Wolverine World Wide, Inc., 

located in Rockford, Cedar Springs and
