    On May 29, 2008, temporary/interim manufacturing authority was 
approved for the TBSRC facility (Docket T-1-2008, Notice of Approval--

turbochargers, stern tubes, anchor chain, aluminum beams, flexible 
tubing, pumps, heat exchange/cooling units, centrifuges, filters, fire 
suppression equipment, rudders, bow thrusters, valves, reduction gears, 
transmission shaft grounding systems and seals, generators and parts,

alarms, automated/steering systems, safety netting (will be admitted in 
domestic (duty-paid) status), liquid flow measurement instruments, 
doors, electrical equipment, and deck equipment (duty rates: free--
