SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

The U.S. Government (USG) Trade 

Event Information Request (Form ITA– 

4136P) is sent to any firm that requests 

senior-level USG witnessing of a

commercial milestone, e.g., an 

announcement, contract, or business 

agreement signing, at a public event 

designed to highlight a company’s 

commercial success in an overseas 

project or procurement competition. 

The Advocacy Center, appropriate ITA 

officials, U.S. Embassies/Consulates 

worldwide, and other federal 

government agencies that provide 

advocacy support to U.S. firms, will 

request firm(s) seeking USG advocacy 

support to complete the Trade Event 

Information Request form. 

This information is needed to ensure 

that the subject milestone to be 

witnessed is either a legally-binding 

contract or a commercially-significant 

announcement, which includes 

highlighted U.S. export content. 

Furthermore, the information contained 

on the form helps the U.S. Department 

of Commerce staff determine if USG 

association with the event or activity is 

in the best interest of the USG. The 

information collected permits staff to 

review details of the milestone to be 

witnessed, and to make an evaluation 

on: (a) Whether the contract or 

announcement is actually ready for final 

signature or public disclosure; 

(b) whether additional USG advocacy 

may be required prior to the event in 

question; (c) whether the level of U.S. 

company participation and foreign 

government official participation, if 

appropriate, is at a level high enough to 

recommend senior-level USG 

participation; and (d) where U.S. export 

content associated with the contract/ 

announcement would be sourced. If this 

information were not collected, staff 

could not make the appropriate 

evaluation prior to USG senior-level 

involvement. 

II. Method of Collection 

Information will be collected by paper 

format and via e-mail. 

III. Data 

OMB Control Number: 0625–0238. 

Form Number(s): ITA–4136P. 

Type of Review: Regular submission. 

Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

400. 

Estimated Time per Response: 30 

minutes. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 200. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost to 

Public: $0. 

IV. Request for Comments 

Comments are invited on: (a) Whether 

the proposed collection of information 

is necessary for the proper performance 

of the functions of the agency, including 

whether the information shall have 

practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden 

(including hours and cost) of the 

proposed collection of information; 

(c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, 

and clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (d) ways to minimize the 

burden of the collection of information 

on respondents, including through the 

use of automated collection techniques 

or other forms of information 

technology. 

Comments submitted in response to 

this notice will be summarized and/or 

included in the request for OMB 

approval of this information collection; 

they also will become a matter of public 

record.

DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE 

Foreign-Trade Zones Board 

[Docket 27–2010] 

Foreign-Trade Zone 177—Mount 

Vernon/Evansville, IN; Application for 

Reorganization Under Alternative Site 

Framework 

An application has been submitted to 

the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) Board 

(the Board) by the Ports of Indiana, 

grantee of Foreign-Trade Zone 177, 

requesting authority to reorganize the 

zone under the alternative site 

framework (ASF) adopted by the Board 

(74 FR 1170, 1/12/09; correction 74 FR 

3987, 1/22/09). The ASF is an option for 

grantees for the establishment or 

reorganization of general-purpose zones 

and can permit significantly greater 

flexibility in the designation of new 

‘‘usage-driven’’ FTZ sites for operators/ 

users located within a grantee’s ‘‘service 

area’’ in the context of the Board’s 

standard 2,000-acre activation limit for 

a general-purpose zone project. 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 April 22, 

2010. 

FTZ 177 was approved by the Board 

on March 12, 1991 (Board Order 513, 56 

F.R. 12155; March 22, 1991) and 

expanded on July 2, 1993 (Board Order 

648, 58 F.R. 37908; July 14, 1993). The 

general-purpose zone currently consists 

of the following sites: Site 1: (40 acres)— 

within the Southwind Maritime Centre, 

located at 2751 Bluff Road, Mount 

Vernon (Posey County); Site 2: (30,000 

sq. ft.)—Central Warehouse, Inc., 

located at 301 East Indiana Street, 

Evansville (Vanderburgh County); Site 

3: (40,000 sq. ft.) Morton Avenue 

Warehouse, Inc., located at 2504 Lynch 

Road, Evansville (Vanderburgh County); 

and, Site 4: (78 acres) Evansville 

Regional Airport, located at 7801 

Bussing Drive, Evansville (Vanderburgh 

County), Indiana. 

The grantee’s proposed service area 

under the ASF would be Vanderburgh, 

Dubois, Pike, Gibson, Knox, Daviess, 

Spencer, Warrick and Posey Counties, 

Indiana, as described in the application. 

If approved, the grantee would be able 

to serve sites throughout the service area 

based on companies’ needs for FTZ 

designation. The proposed service area 

is within and adjacent to the 

Owensboro-Evansville Customs and 

Border Protection port of entry. 

The applicant is requesting authority 

to reorganize its existing zone project to 

include all of the existing sites as 

‘‘magnet’’ sites. The ASF allows for the 

possible exemption of one magnet site 

from the ‘‘sunset’’ time limits that 

generally apply to sites under the ASF, 

and the applicant proposes that Site 1 

be so exempted. No usage-driven sites 

are being requested at this time. Because 

the ASF only pertains to establishing or 

reorganizing a general-purpose zone, the 

application would have no impact on 

FTZ 177’s authorized subzones. 

In accordance with the Board’s 

regulations, Claudia Hausler 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 July 6, 2010. Rebuttal 

comments in response to material 

submitted during the foregoing period 

may be submitted during the subsequent 

15-day period to July 19, 2010. 

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.trade.gov/ftz. For further
