Foreign-Trade Zones Board

[Docket 18–2001]

Foreign-Trade Zone 33—Pittsburgh,

Pennsylvania; Application for

Subzone, Sony Technology CenterPittsburgh (Television Manufacturing

Facilities) Mount Pleasant,

Pennsylvania

An application has been submitted to

the Foreign-Trade Zones Board (the

Board) by the Regional Industrial

Development Corporation of

Southwestern Pennsylvania, grantee of

FTZ 33, requesting special-purpose

subzone status for the manufacturing

and warehousing facilities of the Sony

Technology Center-Pittsburgh (STC–P),

located in Mount Pleasant,

Pennsylvania. 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 23,

2001.

The STC–P facility is comprised of

three sites with 3,300 employees in

Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania:

Site 1 (633.64 acres, currently with

3,550,000 square feet, with a possible

expansion of 458,330 square feet)—

located at 1001 Technology Drive,

Mount Pleasant, Pennsylvania; Site 2

(9.8 acres, 192,500 square feet)—located

at the South Greensburg Commons at

Huff and Parr Streets, Greensburg,

Pennsylvania; and Site 3 (31.2 acres,

273,600 square feet)—located at the

former Montgomery Wards Distribution

Center on Route 119 in New Stanton,

Pennsylvania.

STC–P indicates that it intends to

manufacture, test, package, and

warehouse under zone procedures

unfinished and finished television sets

(HTSUS 8528, duty free-5%),

components of television sets (HTSUS

8540, 5.4%; HTSUS 7011, 5.2%),

television tubes (HTSUS 8540, 3.3%–

15%), specialty chemicals for the

electronics industry (HTSUS 2916,

6.5%, HTSUS 3403, 6.5%) and thermal

transfer ribbons (HTSUS 3921, 4.20%,

HTS 9612, 8.2%). Foreign-sourced

materials will account for, on average,

68% of the finished products value.

STC–P indicates that the foreign

sourced inputs would be as follows:

Feldspar, salts of oxometallic or

peroxometallic acids, hydrogen,

silicates, other organo-inorganic

compounds, glass frit, artificial graphite,

polymers of vinyl chloride, polymers of

vinyl acetate, polyacetals, silicones, selfadhesive sheets, rubber, packaging

materials, glass parts of television tubes,

pipe seal ribbon, screws, bolts, articles

of aluminum, tungsten, electromagnets,

heater evaporation coil, switches, relays,

fuses, lenses, signaling glassware, base

metal mountings, loudspeakers,

unrecorded and recorded media,

transmission apparatus, parts of

televisions, electrical capacitors,

electrical resistors, printed circuits, thin

steel for aperture grilles (HTSUS

7209.18.2510 and 7211.23.6075),

electrical filament, cathode ray tubes,

diodes, transistors, electronic integrated

circuits and microassemblies, insulated

wire, EMI shields, natural graphite,

microcrystalline wax, unsaturated and

saturated acyclic monocarboxylic acids,

glass parts for television, casein,

lubricating preparations, polishes and

creams, prepared glues, polymers of

ethylene and vinyl acetate, aminoresins, ribbons for impressions. The

application also indicates that the

company may in the future import

under FTZ procedures other materials

used in the production of televisions,

thermal transfer ribbons and specialty

chemicals.

FTZ procedures would exempt STC–

P from Customs duty payments on the

foreign components used in export

production. Some 17 percent of the

plant’s shipments are exported. On its

domestic sales, STC–P would be able to

choose the duty rates during Customs

entry procedures that apply to finished

products (duty free to 15%) for the

foreign inputs noted above. However,

the subzone plan indicates that certain

manufacturing inputs, including

cathode ray tubes, components of

cathode ray tubes, stainless steel ribbon

and pipe seal ribbon, will be admitted

to the proposed subzone in privileged

foreign status.

The majority of zone savings would

involve choosing the duty rate on

unfinished televisions (HTSUS

8528.12.0800—duty-free) rather than the

rate for the primary foreign-sourced

components: loudspeakers, transmission

apparatus, electrical capacitors,

electrical resistors, printed circuits,

diodes, transistors and similar

semiconductor devices, integrated

circuits, insulated electric conductors,

electrical insulators, insulating fittings

and EMI shields (HTSUS 8518.29.8000,

8518.30.2000, 8525.30.9005,

8532.24.0020, 8533.10.0060, 8534.00,

8541, 8542, 8544.20.0000, 8546.90.0000,

8548.90.000 duty rate ranges from dutyfree to 5.3%). Application of the

unfinished television classification

requires that cathode ray tubes be

evaluated separately. The application

indicates that STC–P will admit foreign

materials for the cathode ray tubes made

at the plant in privileged foreign status.

The request indicates that the savings

from FTZ procedures would help

improve the plant’s international

competitiveness.

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 3 copies)

shall be addressed to the Board’s

Executive Secretary at the address

below. The closing period for their

receipt is July 2, 2001. Rebuttal

comments in response to material

submitted during the foregoing period

may be submitted during the subsequent

15-day period (to July 2, 2001.

A copy of the application and the

accompanying exhibits will be available

for public inspection at each of the

following locations:

Manufacturer: FEI Company, The

Netherlands. Intended Use: The

instrument is intended to be used for

the study of the structure of biological

materials in three dimensions.

Sometimes these will be components of

cells such as organelles or filaments;

sometimes large molecules within cells.

In addition, the structure of molecules

will be studied at very high resolution

by extracting and preparing them so that

many copies of the molecule can be

imaged at once and these images

averaged. The goal of these

investigations is to achieve a detailed

understanding of the 3-dimensional

structure of some cellular component,

which in turn can be used to increase

the understanding of the component.
