Foreign–Trade Zone 29 - Louisville,
Kentucky, Application for Subzone,
Louisville Bedding Company
(Household Bedding Products),
Louisville and Munfordville, Kentucky
An application has been submitted to
the Foreign–Trade Zones Board (the
Board) by the Louisville & Jefferson
County Riverport Authority, grantee of
FTZ 29, requesting special–purpose
subzone status for the bedding products
manufacturing facilities of Louisville
Bedding Company (LBC) located in
Louisville and Munfordville, Kentucky.
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 April 26, 2010.
The LBC facilities (530 employees)
consist of three sites: Site 1 manufacturing plant and warehouse
(26.1 acres) located at 10400 Bunsen

Way, Louisville; Site 2 - warehouse (4.3
acres) located at 100 Quality Street,
Munfordville; and, Site 3 manufacturing plant and warehouse
(27.7 acres) located at 660 National
Turnpike, Munfordville, Kentucky. The
facilities are used to manufacture
household bedding products, including
mattress pads and pillows (up to 10
million pillows and 10 million mattress
pads annually) for the U.S. market and
export. LBC is requesting authority to
utilize foreign–origin wide roll (80
inches and wider), high thread count
(180 threads per inch and higher)
cotton, polyester, and synthetic woven
fabric and pillow shells (classified
under HTSUS Headings 5208, 5210,
5512, 5513, and 6307; duty rate range:
7 - 14.9%) to be cut, sewn, quilted and
assembled into the bedding products
noted above under FTZ procedures.
FTZ procedures could exempt LBC
from customs duty payments on the
foreign–origin fabrics and pillow shells
used in export production. On its
shipments for the domestic market, the
finished household bedding products
would be entered for consumption from
the proposed subzone classified under
HTSUS 9404.90, and LBC is seeking
authority to elect the various finished
bedding product duty rates (4.4 - 7.3%,
ad valorem) for the foreign–origin fabric
and pillow shell material inputs.
Domestic–status fibers would be used to
fill the foreign pillow shells. The
application indicates that the savings
from FTZ procedures would help
improve the facilities’ international
competitiveness.
In accordance with the Board’s
regulations, Pierre Duy of the FTZ Staff
is designated examiner to evaluate and
analyze the facts and information
presented in the application and case
record and to report findings and
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
following address: Office of the
Executive Secretary, Room 2111, U.S.
Department of Commerce, 1401

Background
On March 16, 2010, the Department of
Commerce (‘‘Department’’) published its
preliminary determination in the
antidumping duty investigation of
certain potassium phosphate salts
(‘‘salts’’) from the People’s Republic of
China (‘‘PRC’’). See Certain Potassium

On April 2, 2010, Petitioners 1 filed a
timely critical circumstances allegation,
pursuant to 19 CFR 351.206, alleging
that critical circumstances exist with
respect to imports of the merchandise
under consideration.
In accordance with 19 CFR
351.206(c)(1), when a critical
circumstances allegation is filed 30 days
or more before the scheduled date of the
final determination (as was done in this
case), the Department will issue a
preliminary finding whether there is a
reasonable basis to believe or suspect
that critical circumstances exist.
Because the critical circumstances
allegation in this case was submitted
after the preliminary determination was
published, the Department must issue
