Whereas, the Foreign-Trade Zones Act

establishment of special-purpose 

subzones when existing zone facilities 

cannot serve the specific use involved, 

and when the activity results in a 

significant public benefit and is in the

Whereas, the Virginia Port Authority,

made application to the Board for 

authority to establish a special-purpose

manufacturing and distribution facilities 

of STIHL Incorporated, located in

08); and, 

Whereas, the Board adopts the 

findings and recommendations of the 

examiner’s report, and finds the

that approval of the application is in the

Board to grant to qualified corporations 

the privilege of establishing foreigntrade zones in or adjacent to U.S.

cannot serve the specific use involved, 

and when the activity results in a

Whereas, Brown County, Wisconsin, 

grantee of FTZ 167, has made 

application for authority to establish 

special-purpose subzone status at the 

shipbuilding facility of Marinette 

Marine Corporation (MMC), located in 

Marinette, Wisconsin (FTZ Docket 33– 

2008, filed 5–12–2008); 

Whereas, notice inviting public 

comment was given in the Federal 

Register (73 FR 28430, 5–16–2008); and, 

Whereas, the Board adopts the 

findings and recommendations of the 

examiner’s report, and finds that the 

requirements of the FTZ Act and 

Board’s regulations would be satisfied, 

and that approval of the application 

would be in the public interest if 

approval were given subject to the 

standard shipyard restriction on foreign 

steel mill products; 

Now, therefore, the Board hereby 

grants authority for subzone status for 

activity related to shipbuilding and

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. MMC 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.
