C. Reporting.
1. Performance reporting. All
recipients of DLT financial assistance
must provide annual performance
activity reports to RUS until the project
is complete and the funds are expended.
A final performance report is also

see 7 CFR 1703.108.
VI. Award Administration Information
A. Combination loan-grants and loans
award notices.
RUS recognizes that each funded
project is unique, and therefore may
attach conditions to different projects’
award documents.
1. RUS generally sends a letter
defining the characteristics of a loan (or
the loan portion of a combination loangrant) such as the term, interest rate and
any conditions on the loan. An
applicant must communicate agreement
with the characteristics of the loan to
RUS before a loan or combination loangrant moves into the approval process.
2. After receiving the applicant’s
agreement on the loan characteristics,
RUS supplies an approval letter to the
applicant. Loan documents (and a grant
agreement, if applicable) are then sent
by RUS. The applicant has 120 days to
sign and return the documents, along
with any additional material required by
the loan or grant documents.
B. Administrative and national policy
requirements. The items listed in
paragraph IV.B.6 of this Notice, and the
DLT Program regulation, application
guides and accompanying materials
implement the appropriate
VII. Agency Contacts
V. Application Review Information
A. Special considerations or
preferences. 7 CFR 1703.112 directs that
an RUS telecommunications borrower
will receive expedited consideration
and determination of a loan application
or advance under the Rural
Electrification Act of 1936 (7 U.S.C.
901–950aa, et seq.) if the loan funds in
question are to be used in conjunction
with a DLT grant, loan or combination
loan-grant (See 7 CFR 1737 for loans
and 7 CFR 1744 for advances).
B. Criteria. Combination loan-grant
applications and loan applications are
evaluated on the basis of technical,
financial, economic and other criteria.
Please see paragraph IV.B.6 of this
notice for the items that will be
evaluated for a combination loan-grant
or loan application, and paragraph V.C
of this notice for a brief listing of
evaluation standards.
C. Combination loan-grants and loans

[Docket 1–2005]
Foreign-Trade Zone 45—Portland, OR,
Application for Subzone, Epson
Portland Inc. (Inkjet Cartridges),
Hillsboro, OR
An application has been submitted to
the Foreign-Trade Zones Board (the
Board) by the Port of Portland, grantee
of FTZ 45, requesting special-purpose
subzone status for the inkjet cartridge
manufacturing facility of Epson
Portland Inc. (EPI), in Hillsboro, Oregon.
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 January 4, 2005.
The EPI facility (1 building, 184,492
sq. ft. on 16.61 acres) is located at 3950
Aloclek Place, Hillsboro, Oregon. The
EPI plant (455 employees) is used for
warehousing and manufacturing of
inkjet cartridges (which includes the
production of plastic injection molded
cartridge parts); activities which EPI is
proposing to perform under FTZ
procedures.
Foreign-sourced materials will
account for some 50 to 55 percent of
PO 00000

total materials used in production, and
may include items from the following
general categories: ink (HTSUS 3215.11
and 3215.19), cleaning liquid for
printers (3402.19), polypropylene
colorant (3901.20), polypropylene resins
(3902.30), labels and label tape
(3919.90), sealing film (3920.10), tape
(3920.62), silicone sheet (3920.99),
urethane foam (3921.13), poly bags
(3923.21), seals (4016.93), vent film
(5911.10), seals/valves/springs
(7320.10), nylon filters (8421.19), and
ink degassing modules (8421.21).
Zone procedures would exempt EPI
from Customs duty payments on foreign
materials used in production for export.
Some 60 percent of the plant’s
shipments are currently exported. On
domestic sales, the company would be
able to choose the duty rates that apply
to the finished products (HTSUS
8473.30, duty-free), rather than the duty
rates that would otherwise apply to the
foreign-sourced materials noted above
(duty-free to 6.5%, weighted average—
3.4%). The application indicates that
the savings from zone procedures will
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 is invited from
interested parties. Submissions (original
and 3 copies) shall be addressed to the
Board’s Executive Secretary at one of
the following addresses:
1. Submissions via Express/Package
Delivery Services: Foreign-Trade-Zones
Board, U.S. Department of Commerce,
Franklin Court Building—Suite 4100W,
1099 14th Street, NW., Washington, DC
20005; or
2. Submissions via the U.S. Postal
Service: Foreign-Trade-Zones Board,
U.S. Department of Commerce, FCB—
Suite 4100W, 1401 Constitution
Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20230.
The closing period for their receipt is
March 21, 2005. Rebuttal comments in
response to material submitted during
the foregoing period may be submitted
during the subsequent 15-day period (to
April 4, 2005).
A copy of the application and
accompanying exhibits will be available
for public inspection at the Office of the
Foreign-Trade Zones Board’s Executive
Secretary at address Number 1 listed
above, and at the U.S. Department of
Commerce Export Assistance Center,
One World Trade Center, 121 S.W.
Salmon Street, Suite 242, Portland,
Oregon 97204.
