SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
The Foreign-Trade Zone Application
is the vehicle by which individual firms
or organizations apply for foreign-trade
zone (FTZ) status, subzone status, or
expansion of an existing zone. The FTZ
Act and Regulations require that an
application with a description of the
PO 00000
Frm 00005
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
15477
proposed project be made to the FTZ
Board (19 U.S.C. 81b and 81f; 15 CFR
400.24–26) before a license can be
issued or a zone can be expanded. They
also require that applications contain
detailed information on facilities,
financing, operational plans, proposed
manufacturing operations, need, and
economic impact. The manufacturing
activity in zones, which is primarily
conducted in subzones, can involve
issues related to domestic industry and
trade policy impact. These applications
must include specific information on
the Customs tariff-related savings that
result from zone procedures and the
economic consequences of permitting
such savings. The FTZ Board requires
complete and accurate information on
the proposed operation and its
economic effects because the regulations
authorize the Board to restrict or
prohibit operations that are detrimental
to the public interest.
II. Method of Collection
The applications are in paper format.
III. Data
OMB Control Number: 0625–0139.
Form Number: None.
Type of Review: Regular submission.
Affected Public: State, local, or tribal
government; not-for-profit institutions.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
145.
Estimated Time per Response: 20 to
120 hours, depending on type of
application.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 9,180 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Costs: $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 costs) 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 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.
