[Foreign-Trade Zones Board; Docket 11–
2012]
An application has been submitted to
the Foreign-Trade Zones Board (the
Board) by the Savannah Airport
Commission, grantee of FTZ 104,
requesting an expansion of the scope of
manufacturing authority approved
within Site 12 of FTZ 104, on behalf of
Mitsubishi Power Systems Americas,
Inc. (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
