Docket 34–2008
Foreign–Trade Zone 222 Montgomery, AL, Application for
Expansion of Manufacturing Authority,
Subzone 222A - Hyundai Motor
Manufacturing Alabama, LLC (Motor
Vehicles and Engines)
An application has been submitted to
the Foreign–Trade Zones Board (the
Board) by the Montgomery Area
Chamber of Commerce, grantee of FTZ
222, on behalf of Hyundai Motor
Manufacturing Alabama, LLC (HMMA),
operator of Subzone 222A at the HMMA
motor vehicle manufacturing plant in
Montgomery, Alabama, requesting an
expansion of the scope of FTZ
manufacturing authority to include new
manufacturing capacity under FTZ
procedures. The application was
submitted pursuant to the provisions of
the Foreign–Trade Zones Act, as
amended (19 U.S.C. 81a–81u), and
Section 400.28(a)(2) of the Board’s
regulations (15 CFR Part 400). It was
formally filed on May 21, 2008.
Subzone 222A was approved in 2003
for the manufacture of up to 250,000
light–duty passenger vehicles annually
at the HMMA plant (3,300 employees/
1,750 acres/2.1 million sq.ft.) in
Montgomery (Montgomery County),
Alabama (Board Order 1278, 68 FR
35622, 6–16–2003).
The applicant currently requests that
the scope of FTZ manufacturing
authority be extended to include an
additional 350,000 square feet of
production area to accommodate new
engine production capacity (an
additional 120,000 engines annually),
which will be added within the existing
boundaries of Subzone 222A. The
additional engine output will be
shipped to the Kia Motors
Manufacturing Georgia, Inc. (KMMG),
assembly plant in West Point, Georgia.
Foreign–origin components that are
used in engine production (representing
approximately 31% of finished engine
value) include: oils, self–adhesive
plastic/polyurethane sheets/foil/film/
labels, pumps, rubber tubes/hoses, parts
of engines, filters, paint, gaskets,
fasteners, bearings, belts, locks, half
shafts, parts of transmissions, electrical
components, wire and cable, and
measuring instruments and related parts
(duty rate range: free - 8.5%).
Expanded FTZ procedures would
continue to exempt HMMA from
customs duty payments on the foreign
components used in production for
export. On its shipments transferred in–
PO 00000
Frm 00008
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
bond to the KMMG facility (located
within FTZ 26), no duties would be
paid on the foreign components within
the engines until KMMG’s finished
vehicles are subsequently entered for
consumption, at which time the
finished automobile duty rate (2.5%)
could be applied to the foreign inputs
noted above. The application indicates
that the savings from FTZ procedures
helps to improve the HMMA plant’s
international competitiveness.
In accordance with the Board’s
regulations, Pierre Duy of the FTZ Staff
is 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 the
following address: Office of the
Executive Secretary, Room 2111, U.S.
Department of Commerce, 1401
Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington,
DC 20230–0002. The closing period for
receipt of comments is August 1, 2008.
Rebuttal comments in response to
material submitted during the foregoing
period may be submitted during the
subsequent 15-day period to August 18,
2008.
A copy of the application will be
available for public inspection at the
Office of the Foreign–Trade Zones
Board’s Executive Secretary at the
address listed above. For further
information, contact Pierre Duy,
examiner, at: pierrelduy@ita.doc.gov,
