In HQ 735027, dated September 7,
1993, a device that software companies
used to protect their software from
piracy was under consideration for
country of origin marking purposes. The
device, referred to as the ‘‘MemoPlug,’’
was assembled in Israel from parts that
were obtained from Taiwan (such as
various connectors and an
Electronically Erasable Programmable
Read Only Memory, or ‘‘EEPROM’’) and
Israel (such as an internal circuit board).
After assembly, these components were
shipped to a processing facility in the
United States where the EEPROM was
programmed with special software.
Such processing in the United States
accounted for approximately 50 percent
of the final selling price of the
MemoPlugs. In finding that the foreignorigin components were substantially
transformed in the United States, CBP
noted that the U.S. processing
transformed a blank media, the
EEPROM, into a device that performed
functions necessary to the prevention of
software piracy.
We make our determination herein
based on the totality of the
circumstances. In doing so, we take
particular note of the fact that the
installation of the firmware and the
application software makes the UFDs
functional and executes the security
features. In addition, the installation
and customization of the firmware and
application software greatly increase the
value of a UFD without security.
Based upon the above precedents and
the totality of the circumstances, we
determine that there is a substantial
transformation of the component parts
in either Israel or the United States, the
location where the final three
manufacturing operations, including
installation and customization of the
firmware and application software,
occur, i.e., if the final three
manufacturing operations occur in
Israel, there is a substantial
transformation in Israel and if the final
three manufacturing operations occur in
the United States, there is a substantial
transformation in the United States.
Therefore, the country of origin for
government procurement purposes is
such location, either Israel or the United
States.
Country of Origin Marking
Section 304 of the Tariff Act of 1930,
as amended (19 U.S.C. 1304), provides
that, unless excepted, every article of
foreign origin imported into the United
States shall be marked in a conspicuous
place as legibly, indelibly, and
permanently as the nature of the article
(or container) will permit, in such
manner as to indicate to the ultimate
VerDate Nov<24>2008
17:51 May 07, 2009
Jkt 217001
purchaser in the U.S. the English name
of the country of origin of the article.
Part 134, CBP Regulations (19 CFR
Part 134), implements the country of
origin marking requirements and
exceptions of 19 U.S.C. 1304. Section
134.1(b), CBP Regulations (19 CFR
134.1(b)), defines the country of origin
of an article as the country of
manufacture, production, or growth of
any article of foreign origin entering the
United States. Further work or material
added to an article in another country
must effect a substantial transformation
in order to render such other country
the country of origin for country of
origin marking purposes.
Based upon our determination, above,
with respect to substantial
transformation of the UFDs, the country
of origin for marking of these goods is
Israel or the United States if the final
three manufacturing steps, described
above, are performed in either of these
countries. If the final three
manufacturing steps are performed in
Israel, the UFDs should be marked
‘‘Made in Israel.’’ For a determination as
to whether SanDisk may mark the UFDs
‘‘Made in the United States’’ when the
final three manufacturing operations are
performed in the U.S., please contact
the Federal Trade Commission, Division
of Enforcement, 6th Street and
Pennsylvania Ave., NW., Washington,
DC 20580.
Holdings
There is a substantial transformation
of the component parts in either Israel
or the United States, the location where
the final three operations, including the
installation and customization of the
firmware and application software,
occur. Therefore, the country of origin
for government procurement purposes is
such location, either Israel or the United
States.
The country of origin of the UFDs is
Israel or the United States if the final
three manufacturing steps, described
above, are performed in these countries.
If the final three manufacturing steps are
performed in Israel, the UFDs should be
marked ‘‘Made in Israel.’’ For a
determination as to whether SanDisk
may mark the UFDs ‘‘Made in the
United States’’ when the final three
manufacturing operations are performed
in the United States, please contact the
Federal Trade Commission.
Notice of this final determination will
be given in the Federal Register, as
required by 19 CFR 177.29. Any partyat-interest other than the party which
requested the final determination may
request, pursuant to 19 CFR § 177.31,
that CBP reexamine the matter anew
and issue a new final determination.

In
accordance with 24 CFR part 581 and
section 501 of the Stewart B. McKinney
Homeless Assistance Act (42 U.S.C.
11411), as amended, HUD is publishing
this Notice to identify Federal buildings
and other real property that HUD has
reviewed for suitability for use to assist
the homeless. The properties were
reviewed using information provided to
HUD by Federal landholding agencies
regarding unutilized and underutilized
buildings and real property controlled
by such agencies or by GSA regarding
its inventory of excess or surplus
Federal property. This Notice is also
published in order to comply with the
December 12, 1988 Court Order in
National Coalition for the Homeless v.
Veterans Administration, No. 88–2503–
OG (D.D.C.).
Properties reviewed are listed in this
Notice according to the following
categories: Suitable/available, suitable/
unavailable, suitable/to be excess, and
unsuitable. The properties listed in the
three suitable categories have been
reviewed by the landholding agencies,
and each agency has transmitted to
HUD: (1) Its intention to make the
property available for use to assist the
homeless, (2) its intention to declare the
property excess to the agency’s needs, or
(3) a statement of the reasons that the
property cannot be declared excess or
made available for use as facilities to
assist the homeless.
Properties listed as suitable/available
will be available exclusively for
homeless use for a period of 60 days
from the date of this Notice. Where
property is described as for ‘‘off-site use
only’’ recipients of the property will be
required to relocate the building to their
own site at their own expense.
Homeless assistance providers
interested in any such property should
send a written expression of interest to
HHS, addressed to Theresa Rita,
Division of Property Management,
