Pursuant to its authority under the ForeignTrade Zones Act of June 18, 1934, as
amended (19 U.S.C. 81a–81u), the ForeignTrade Zones Board (the Board) adopts the
following Order:
Whereas, the Foreign-Trade Zones Act
provides for ‘‘* * * the establishment
* * * of foreign-trade zones in ports of
entry of the United States, to expedite
and encourage foreign commerce, and
for other purposes,’’ and authorizes the
Foreign-Trade Zones Board to grant to
qualified corporations the privilege of
establishing foreign-trade zones in or
adjacent to U.S. Customs and Border
Protection ports of entry;
Whereas, the Board’s regulations (15
CFR part 400) provide for the
establishment of special-purpose
subzones when existing zone facilities
cannot serve the specific use involved,
and when the activity results in a
significant public benefit and is in the
public interest;
Whereas, the Lehigh Valley Economic
Development Corporation, grantee of
Foreign-Trade Zone 272, has made
application to the Board for authority to
establish a special-purpose subzone at
the multi-stage centrifugal pump
manufacturing facility of Grundfos
Pumps Manufacturing Corporation,
located in Allentown, Pennsylvania
(FTZ Docket 21–2010, filed 3–24–2010);
Whereas, notice inviting public
comment has been given in the Federal
Register (75 FR 15679, 3–30–2010) and
the application has been processed
pursuant to the FTZ Act and the Board’s
regulations; and,
Whereas, the Board adopts the
findings and recommendations of the
examiner’s report, and finds that the
requirements of the FTZ Act and
Board’s regulations are satisfied, and
that the proposal is in the public
interest;
Now, therefore, the Board hereby
grants authority for subzone status for
activity related to the manufacturing of
multi-stage centrifugal pumps at the
Grundfos Pumps Manufacturing
Corporation facility located in
Allentown, Pennsylvania (Subzone
272A), as described in the application
and Federal Register notice, subject to
the FTZ Act and the Board’s regulations,
including Section 400.28.

Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: On December 1, 2010, the
Department of Commerce (the

SUMMARY:

Sfmt 4703
AOLA
submitted a complete application for an
EFP on March 11, 2011, to conduct
commercial fishing activities that the
regulations would otherwise restrict.
This EFP application would exempt
commercial fishing vessels from the
following Federal regulations: gear
specifications (including escape vents,
ghost panel and maximum trap size)
specified under 50 CFR 697.21(c)(4),
697.21(d) and 697.21(e)(2)(ii); trap
limits specified under § 697.19(b)(5);
and trap tags specified under § 697.19(f).
The EFP would authorize 11 Federally
permitted vessels to be exempted from
parts of the Federal lobster regulations
to allow the participating vessels to fish
modified lobster traps, exceed trap
limits, and deploy the modified traps
without trap tags in an attempt to
formalize the anecdotal presence of
young lobsters. Some lobster scientists
believe that larvae will only survive in
the inshore fishery due to the depths
and available light, and that there are no
small lobsters offshore; however, data
resulting from this project are intended
to determine whether there are new
lobster nursery grounds offshore.
This project, including the lobster
handling protocols, was initially
developed in consultation with
University of New Hampshire scientists.
To the greatest extent practicable, these
handling protocols are designed to
avoid unnecessary adverse
environmental impact on lobsters
involved in this project, while achieving
the data collection objectives of this
project. AOLA will work in conjunction
with scientists and the fishing industry
to build and test various trap
modifications to determine the optimal
design for use in offshore waters. The
modified gear may exceed the Federal
maximum trap size restrictions, include
smaller wire mesh sizes, modified
entrance heads/rings, closed or
modified escape vents, and cobble
acting as shelter material. The
deployment of the experimental traps
throughout lobster management area 3
(Area 3) statistical areas 464, 522, 561,
562, 525, 526, 533, 537, 613, 616, and
622, would begin in April 2011 and
extend through August 2012. AOLA
would submit progress reports in
December 2011 and September 2012,
since the project would exceed 1 year.
Participating vessels would include
between one and three experimental
lobster traps as part of a commercial
lobster trap trawl deployed under
routine industry conditions. Modified
traps would remain in the water for up
to 6 consecutive months (182 days),
being hauled approximately weekly
