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 29, 2011. The Firth Rixson facility (100 employees) is located at 181 McKee Road in Rochester and is situated within FTZ 141’s proposed service area of Monroe County (see Docket 29–2011). The facility is used to produce aircraft turbine engine components of forged titanium, aluminum, and nickel alloy (HTSUS 7508.90.50, 7616.99.50, 8108.90.30), including forged rings for aircraft turbine engines for the U.S. market and export. The manufacturing process under FTZ procedures would involve machining, heat-treating, and forging of foreign-origin titanium (HTSUS 8108.20.00, duty rate—15%), aluminum alloy (7601.20.90, duty free) and nickel alloy (7502.20.00, duty free) (representing about 25% of the finished rings’ value) into medium- and largesize rings (HTSUS 8411.91.90, 8411.99.90). The facility can produce up E:\FR\FM\04MYN1.SGM 04MYN1 jlentini on DSKJ8SOYB1PROD with NOTICES Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 86 / Wesnesday, May 4, 2011 / Notices to 3.3 million kilograms of finished rings annually. FTZ procedures could exempt Firth Rixson from customs duty payments on foreign titanium used in export production. The company anticipates that some 54 percent of the plant’s shipments will be exported. On its domestic sales, Firth Rixson would be able to choose the duty rate during customs entry procedures that applies to aircraft turbine engine components and forged rings of titanium (duty rates— free, 2.4%, 5.5%) for the foreign-origin titanium noted above. FTZ designation would further allow Firth Rixson to realize logistical benefits through the use of weekly customs entry procedures. Customs duties also could possibly be deferred or reduced on foreign status production equipment. Firth Rixson would also be exempt from duty payments on foreign inputs that become scrap during the production process. The application indicates that the savings from FTZ procedures would help improve the facility’s international competitiveness.

Foreign-Trade Zone 141--Rochester, NY; Application for 
Manufacturing Authority, Firth Rixson, Inc. d/b/a Firth Rixson Monroe 
(Aircraft Turbine Components), Rochester, NY

    A request has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones Board (the 
Board) by Monroe County, New York, grantee of FTZ 141, requesting 
manufacturing authority on behalf of Firth Rixson, Inc. d/b/a Firth 
Rixson Monroe (Firth Rixson), to manufacture aircraft turbine 
components under FTZ procedures within FTZ 141. 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 29, 2011.
    The Firth Rixson facility (100 employees) is located at 181 McKee 
Road in Rochester and is situated within FTZ 141's proposed service 
area of Monroe County (see Docket 29-2011). The facility is used to 
produce aircraft turbine engine components of forged titanium,

including forged rings for aircraft turbine engines for the U.S. market 
and export. The manufacturing process under FTZ procedures would 
involve machining, heat-treating, and forging of foreign-origin 
titanium (HTSUS 8108.20.00, duty rate--15%), aluminum alloy 
(7601.20.90, duty free) and nickel alloy (7502.20.00, duty free) 
(representing about 25% of the finished rings' value) into medium- and 
large-size rings (HTSUS 8411.91.90, 8411.99.90). The facility can 
produce up

to 3.3 million kilograms of finished rings annually.
    FTZ procedures could exempt Firth Rixson from customs duty payments 
on foreign titanium used in export production. The company anticipates 
that some 54 percent of the plant's shipments will be exported. On its 
domestic sales, Firth Rixson would be able to choose the duty rate

for the foreign-origin titanium noted above. FTZ designation would

that become scrap during the production process. The application 
indicates that the savings from FTZ procedures would help improve the 
facility's 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 address below. The closing period for receipt of
