Foreign-Trade Zone 141—Rochester,

Authority, Firth Rixson, Inc. d/b/a Firth
Rixson Monroe, Comment Period on
Revised Preliminary Recommendation
On April 29, 2011, an application was
submitted by Monroe County, New
York, grantee of FTZ 141, requesting
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 (76 FR 25300–25301, 5/
4/2011). In January 2012, the applicant
PO 00000
Frm 00003
Fmt 4703

was notified of the FTZ Board staff
examiner’s preliminary
recommendation for approval of the
request with a restriction requiring that
foreign-origin titanium be admitted to
Firth Rixson’s FTZ operation in
privileged foreign status (19 CFR
§ 146.63) (absent that restriction, at the
time that U.S. customs entry is made on
aircraft turbine components produced in
the FTZ incorporating foreign-sourced
titanium, Firth Rixson would be able to
apply to the foreign-sourced titanium
the lower duty rates applicable to
aircraft turbine components—an
‘‘inverted tariff’’ benefit). In June 2012,
the applicant submitted new evidence
and information in response to the
factors considered in the preliminary
recommendation. Firth Rixson’s June
2012 submission was the subject of a
Federal Register notice (77 FR 43572–
43573, 7/25/2012) inviting public
comment. Firth Rixson subsequently
made a rebuttal submission in response
to comments received during the
comment period.
After a full review of the evidence and
information on the record to date
(including all submissions by the
applicant and other parties) in the
context of the applicable criteria from
the FTZ Board’s regulations (15 CFR
part 400), the examiner issued a revised
preliminary recommendation on
December 28, 2012. The examiner’s
revised preliminary recommendation is
to approve the requested authority—i.e.,
to allow unrestricted FTZ benefits on
foreign titanium used in production for
the U.S. market and export—for a period
of five years. Any authority beyond the
five year period would require an
additional application to the FTZ Board.
The examiner’s revised preliminary
recommendation also includes a
requirement for Firth Rixson to provide
data on an ongoing basis to enable the
FTZ Staff to conduct enhanced
monitoring of the actual impact of Firth
Rixson’s FTZ use. If there were to be
evidence of negative effects resulting
from the company’s FTZ use, the FTZ
Board could review the activity and
determine whether negative public
interest impacts existed that warranted
the imposition of a prohibition or
restriction (see 15 CFR § 400.49).
The examiner’s analysis indicates that
allowing unrestricted FTZ benefits on
foreign titanium used in production for
the U.S. market and export for an initial
five-year period should result in
significant public benefits—such as
maintained or increased U.S.
employment—without negative
economic effects (e.g., would not result
in increased imports of titanium alloy
that otherwise would not have
