Foreign-Trade Zone 265—Conroe, TX;
Application for Subzone; Materials
Science Technology, Inc.; (Elastomer
and Fire Retardant Chemical
Manufacturing); Conroe, TX
An application has been submitted to
the Foreign-Trade Zones Board (the
Board) by the City of Conroe, grantee of
FTZ 265, requesting special-purpose
subzone status for the elastomer
manufacturing facility of Materials
Science Technology, Inc, (MST), located
in Conroe, Texas. The application was
submitted pursuant to the provisions of
the Foreign-Trade Zones Act, as
amended (19 U.S.C. 81a–81u), and the
regulations of the Board (15 CFR part
400). It was formally filed on October
27, 2009.
MST’s facility (20 employees, 10,000
square feet of enclosed space) is located
at 3607 North Loop 336 West, Conroe,
Texas. The facility is used for the
research, development, manufacturing,
warehousing and distribution of a
polyphosphazene elastomer
intermediate which will be used in
aerospace, oil and gas production, and
medical device applications. Current
annual production capacity is 15 metric
tons with projections up to 100 metric
tons. The request indicates that the
manufacturing process also produces a
fire-retardant chemical by-product.
Components and materials sourced from
abroad (representing some 20% of the
value of the finished product) include:
octafluoropentanol, trifluoroethanol,
and phosphonitrilic chloride trimer
(duty rates range from 2.8% to 5.5%).
FTZ procedures could exempt MST
from customs duty payments on the
foreign components used in export
production. The company anticipates
that some 50 percent of the plant’s
shipments will be exported. On its
domestic sales, MST would be able to
choose the duty rates during customs
entry procedures that apply to the
elastomer (duty-free) and the fireretardant chemical (2.8%) for the
foreign inputs noted above. FTZ
designation would further allow MST to
realize logistical benefits through
certain customs procedures. The request
indicates that the savings from FTZ
procedures would help improve the
plant’s international competitiveness.
In accordance with the Board’s
regulations, Diane Finver of the FTZ
Staff is designated examiner to evaluate
and analyze the facts and information
presented in the application and case

recommendations 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
address below. The closing period for
their receipt is January 4, 2010. Rebuttal
comments in response to material
submitted during the foregoing period
may be submitted during the subsequent
15-day period to January 19, 2010.
A copy of the application will be
available for public inspection at the
Office of the Executive Secretary,
Foreign-Trade Zones Board, Room 2111,

State University of New Jersey under a
management plan approved in 1997.
Pursuant to 15 CFR 921.33(c), a state
must revise its management plan at least
every five years. The submission of this

A previous draft of the management
plan revision was made available for
public comment on August 13, 2009, in
the Federal Register (Vol. 74, No. 155,
Pages 40814–5), which considered the
addition of new components in
Monmouth and Cumberland Counties to
the Tuckerton-based reserve (pages 57
and 69 of draft management plan).
References to a multi-component
reserve have been removed and a
revised version of the draft management
plan is available for a new thirty-day
public comment period.
