Trade Zones Board (the Board) by the
City of Tampa, grantee of FTZ 79,
requesting temporary/interim
manufacturing (T/IM) authority within
FTZ 79 at the Tampa Bay Shipbuilding
and Repair Company (TBSRC) facility in
Tampa, Florida. The application was
filed on April 8, 2008.
The TBSRC facility (852 employees) is
located at 1130 McCloskey Boulevard
within the Hooker’s Point Terminal
Complex (Site 5), in Tampa. Under T/
IM procedures, TBSRC would construct
and repair cruise ships and ferries
(HTSUS 8901.90), double–hulled liquid
barges and articulating tug barges
(HTSUS 8901.20), fishing boats
(8902.00), tug boats (8904.00), dredgers
(8905.10), offshore production platforms
(8905.20), and floating docks (8905.90)
for domestic and international
customers. Foreign components that
would be used in the construction and
repair activity (up to 5% of total
purchases) include: anchor chain
(7315.81), aluminum beams (7610.90),
flexible tubing (8307.10), diesel engines
(8408.10) and parts (8409.91, 8409.99),
pumps (8413.11), turbochargers
(8414.59), heat exchange/cooling units
(8419.50), centrifuges (8421.19), filters
(8421.23, 8421.29, 8421.31), fire
suppression equipment (8424.20,
9032.89), rudders (8479.89), bow
thrusters (8501.53), valves (8481.10,
8481.20, 8481.30, 8481.40, 8481.80),
stern tubes (8483.30, reduction gears
(8483.40), transmission shaft grounding
systems and seals (8483.90), generators
(8501.63) and parts (8503.00),
transformers (8504.34), speed drive
controllers (8504.40), overfill alarms
(8531.90), ACCU automated/steering
systems (8537.10), generator sets
(8502.39), liquid flow measurement
instruments (9026.10) (duty rates: free 5.7%).
FTZ procedures could exempt TBSRC
from customs duty payments on the
foreign components used in export
activity. On domestic sales, the
company would be able to choose the
duty rate that applies to finished
oceangoing vessels (duty free) for the
foreign–origin components noted above.
Customs duties also could possibly be
deferred or reduced on foreign status
production equipment. The activity
conducted under FTZ procedures would
be subject to the ‘‘standard shipyard
restriction’’ applicable to foreign–origin
steel mill products, which requires that
full customs duties be paid on such
items.

interested parties. Submissions (original
