(MPSA), in Pooler, Georgia. 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 February 23, 2012. The MPSA facility (‘‘Savannah Machinery Works,’’ 175 employees, 119 acres) is located at 1000 Pine Meadow Drive within the Pooler Megasite (Site 12) in Pooler (Chatham County), Georgia. In 2011, the FTZ Board approved a request submitted by the Savannah Airport Commission on behalf of MPSA for authority to manufacture and repair steam and natural gas power generation turbine components (combustor baskets, transition pieces, and rotors) for export and the domestic market (Board Order 1757, 76 FR 28418, 5–17–2011). The current application involves an expansion of MPSA’s existing scope of manufacturing authority to include additional finished products—steam and natural gas power generation turbines (up to 24 turbines per year). New components and materials sourced from abroad (representing 40% of the value of the finished turbines) include: Rubber o-rings and seals, articles of steel (plates, flanges, expansion joints, covers), fasteners, compressors, bearing housings, metal gaskets, mechanical seals and rings, actuators, thermocouple assemblies, vibration sensors, and automated controllers (duty rate ranges from free to 6.2%). FTZ procedures could exempt MPSA from customs duty payments on the additional foreign components used in export production. The company anticipates that up to 15 percent of the plant’s turbine production will be exported. On its domestic sales, MPSA would be able to choose the duty rates during customs entry procedures that apply to steam and gas power generation turbines (duty rates: 2.5, 6.7%) for the additional foreign inputs E:\FR\FM\02MRN1.SGM 02MRN1
