E7–224 Filed 1–10–07; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 6350–01–P Senior Executive Service Performance Review Board DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board. ACTION: Notice. [Docket 49–2006] AGENCY: SUMMARY: This notice announces changes in the membership of the Senior Executive Service Performance Review Board for the Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board (CSB). DATES: Effective January 11, 2007. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Christopher Kirkpatrick, Office of General Counsel, (202) 261–7600. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 5 U.S.C. 4314(c)(1) requires each agency to establish, in accordance with regulations prescribed by the Office of Personnel Management, a performance review board (PRB). The PRB reviews initial performance ratings of members of the Senior Executive Service (SES) and makes recommendations on performance ratings and awards for senior executives. Because the CSB is a small independent Federal agency, the SES members of the CSB’s PRB are being drawn from other Federal agencies. The Chairperson of the CSB has appointed the following individuals to the CSB Senior Executive Service Performance Review Board: PRB Member—Lawrence W. Roffee (Executive Director, United States Access Board). PRB Member—Leon A. Wilson, Jr. (Executive Director, Committee for Purchase From People Who Are Blind or Severely Disabled). The above-named members of the CSB PRB replace Ronald S. Battocchi (formerly General Counsel, National Transportation Safety Board) and Elizabeth S. Woodruff (formerly General Counsel, Federal Retirement Thrift Investment Board), whose service on the PRB has ended. Their appointments were originally announced in the Federal Register of December 3, 2004 (69 FR 70224). John S. Bresland (CSB Board Member) continues as Chair of the PRB, as PO 00000 Frm 00009 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Foreign-Trade Zones Board Foreign-Trade Subzone 133D— Davenport, IA; Expansion of Manufacturing Authority (Articulated Dump Trucks) An application has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones Board (the Board) by Deere & Company (Deere), operator of Subzone 133D, requesting authority for the manufacture of articulated dump trucks under FTZ procedures at the company’s construction equipment manufacturing plant in Davenport, Iowa. 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 December 28, 2006. Subzone 133D (2.2 million square feet, 1,300 employees) was approved by the Board in 2001 at one site located at Highway 61 and Mt. Joy Road in Davenport (Board Order 1180, 66 FR 40673, 8/3/01). Deere’s original manufacturing authority was granted for the manufacture of construction equipment (four-wheel-drive loaders, motor graders and wheeled log skidders). Deere is now requesting authority to manufacture up to several hundred articulated dump trucks (also known as haulers) annually under zone procedures. The company indicates that the foreign inputs that may be admitted under FTZ procedures include transmissions, axles, gear boxes, cabs and engines. Duty rates on the proposed imported components currently range from 2.5 to 4.0 percent. This application requests authority for Deere to conduct the activity under FTZ procedures, which would exempt Deere from Customs duty payments on the foreign components used in export production. Approximately 12 percent of production is exported. On domestic sales, the company could choose the lower duty rate that applies to the finished product (duty free) for the E:\FR\FM\11JAN1.SGM 11JAN1
