SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
supplement the requirements that apply
to EDA-funded construction projects.
I. Abstract
The Economic Development
Administration (EDA) leads the Federal
economic development agenda by
promoting innovation and
competitiveness, preparing American
regions for growth and success in the
worldwide economy. Guided by the
basic principle that sustainable
economic development should be
locally-driven, EDA works directly with
communities and regions to help them
build the capacity for economic
development based on local business
conditions and needs. The Public Works
and Economic Development Act of 1965
(PWEDA) (42 U.S.C. 3121 et seq.) is
EDA’s organic authority and is the
primary legal authority under which
EDA awards financial assistance. Under
PWEDA, EDA provides financial
assistance to both rural and urban
distressed communities by fostering
entrepreneurship, innovation, and
productivity through investments in
infrastructure development, capacity
building, and business development to
attract private capital investments and
new and better jobs to regions
experiencing economic distress. Further
information on EDA programs and
financial assistance opportunities can be
found at www.eda.gov.
To effectively administer and monitor
its economic development assistance
programs, EDA collects certain
information from applications for, and
recipients of, EDA investment
assistance. EDA may award assistance
for construction projects through its
Public Works and Economic Adjustment
Assistance (EAA) programs. Public
Works program investments help
support the construction or
rehabilitation of essential public
infrastructure and facilities necessary to
generate or retain private sector jobs and
investments, attract private sector
capital, and promote vibrant economic
ecosystems, regional competitiveness,
and innovation. The EAA program
provides a wide range of technical,
planning, and infrastructure assistance
in regions experiencing adverse
economic changes that may occur
suddenly or over time.
EDA seeks comments from the public
and other Federal agencies on a
proposed revision and extension of the
series of checklists and templates that
constitute EDA’s post-approval tool for
construction projects. These checklists
and templates, as well as any special
conditions incorporated into the terms
and conditions at the time of award,
The checklists and templates are
collected via both paper and electronic
submissions. These checklists and
templates, as well as any special
conditions incorporated into the terms
and conditions at the time of award,
supplement the requirements that apply
to EDA-funded construction projects.
As a part of this renewal process, EDA
plans to make clarifying edits to the
series of checklists and templates,
thereby facilitating timely completion
by the award recipient and approval by
EDA. None of the edits are expected to
increase the time burden on the
respondent nor do the modifications
change the type of collected
information.

Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) 171—Liberty
County, Texas; Notification of
Proposed Production Activity; CCZJV–
GPX (Pipe Spools and Valves),
Baytown, Texas
CCZJV–GPX submitted a notification
of proposed production activity to the
FTZ Board for its facility in Baytown,
Texas. The notification conforming to
the requirements of the regulations of
the FTZ Board (15 CFR 400.22) was
received on August 24, 2021.
The CCZJV–GPX facility is located
within FTZ 171. The facility will be
used for production of pipe spools and
valves. Pursuant to 15 CFR 400.14(b),
FTZ activity 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 CCZJV–GPX from
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 253001
customs duty payments on the foreignstatus materials/components used in
export production. On its domestic
sales, for the foreign-status materials/
components noted below, CCZJV–GPX
would be able to choose the duty rates
during customs entry procedures that
apply to seamless or welded stainless
steel pipe spools, and ductile iron,
carbon, and stainless steel piping balls,
gate valves, and check valves (duty rate
ranges from duty-free to 5.6%). CCZJV–
GPX would be able to avoid duty on
foreign-status components which
become scrap/waste. Customs duties
also could possibly be deferred or
reduced on foreign-status production
equipment.
The materials/components sourced
from abroad may include: Steel pipe
(seamless iron or nonalloy; welded
carbon; stainless); flanges (stainless
steel; stainless steel not processed after
forging; carbon steel); butt-welded
carbon steel fittings; carbon steel pipe
fittings; butt-welded pipe fittings (iron
or nonalloy steel; alloy steel (except
stainless steel)); forged pipe fittings
(iron or nonalloy steel); and, actuators
(motorized, pneumatic, hydraulic) (duty
rate ranges from duty-free to 6.2%). The
request indicates that certain
components are subject to various
antidumping/countervailing duty (AD/
CVD) orders if imported from certain
countries. The FTZ Board’s regulations
(15 CFR 400.14(e)) require that
merchandise subject to AD/CVD orders,
or items which would be otherwise
subject to suspension of liquidation
under AD/CVD procedures if they
entered U.S. customs territory, be
admitted to the zone in privileged
foreign (PF) status (19 CFR 146.41). The
request also indicates that certain
materials/components are subject to
duties under Section 232 of the Trade
Expansion Act of 1962 (Section 232) or
Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974
(Section 301), depending on the country
of origin. The applicable Section 232
and Section 301 decisions require
subject merchandise to be admitted to
FTZs in PF status.
Public comment is invited from
interested parties. Submissions shall be
addressed to the Board’s Executive
Secretary and sent to: ftz@trade.gov. The
closing period for their receipt is
October 13, 2021.
A copy of the notification will be
available for public inspection in the
