Foreign-Trade Zone 75—Phoenix,
Arizona; Notification of Proposed
Production Activity; Orbital Sciences
Corporation (Satellites and Space Craft
Launch Vehicles), Gilbert, Arizona
Orbital Sciences Corporation (OSC),
an operator of Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ)
75, submitted a notification of proposed
production activity to the FTZ Board for
its facility in Gilbert, Arizona, within
FTZ 75. The notification conforming to
the requirements of the regulations of
the FTZ Board (15 CFR 400.22) was
received on August 28, 2014.
OSC already has authority to produce
satellites and space craft launch
vehicles within Site 10 of FTZ 75. The
current request would add a foreign
component (aluminum cable tie
mounts) to the scope of authority.
Pursuant to 15 CFR 400.14(b),
additional FTZ authority would be
limited to the specific foreign-status
materials/components and specific
finished products described in the
submitted notification (as described
below) and subsequently authorized by
the FTZ Board.
Production under FTZ procedures
could exempt OSC from customs duty
payments on the foreign status
materials/components used in export
production. On its domestic sales, OSC
would be able to choose the duty rate
during customs entry procedures that
applies to finished satellites and space
craft launch vehicles (free) for the
foreign status aluminum cable tie
mounts and the components in the
existing scope of authority. Customs
duties also could possibly be deferred or
reduced on foreign status production
equipment.
Public comment is invited from
interested parties. Submissions shall be
addressed to the FTZ Board’s Executive
Secretary at the address below. The
closing period for their receipt is
October 20, 2014.
A copy of the notification will be
available for public inspection at the
Office of the Executive Secretary,
Foreign-Trade Zones Board, Room
