Pursuant to Section 251 of the Trade

et seq.), the Economic Development
Administration (EDA) has received
petitions for certification of eligibility to
apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance
from the firms listed below.
Accordingly, EDA has initiated
investigations to determine whether
increased imports into the United States
of articles like or directly competitive

workers, or threat thereof, and to a
decrease in sales or production of each
petitioning firm.

notification conforming to the
requirements of the regulations of the

received on May 23, 2016.
GE Renewables already has authority
to produce wind turbines and related
blades, hubs and nacelles within
Subzone 249A. The current request
would add foreign-status components to
the scope of authority. Pursuant to 15
CFR 400.14(b), FTZ activity would be
limited to the specific foreign-status
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 GE Renewables from
customs duty payments on the foreign
status components used in export
production. On its domestic sales, GE
Renewables would be able to choose the
duty rates during customs entry
procedures that apply to wind turbines
and related blades, hubs and nacelles
(duty free or 2.5%) for the foreign-status
inputs noted below and in the existing
scope of authority. Customs duties also
could possibly be deferred or reduced
on foreign status production equipment.
The components sourced from abroad
include: Blade root spacers; pitch
transformers; brake calipers; brake
hydraulic power units; elastomeric
generator mounts; labyrinth rings; sonic
wind sensors; upwind covers; and,
vibration monitors (duty rate ranges
from free to 4.5%).
Public comment is invited from
interested parties. Submissions shall be
addressed to the FTZ Board’s Executive
Secretary at the address below. The
