[Docket 50-98]
Foreign-Trade Zone 72--Indianapolis, IN; Application for Subzone,
Alfa Laval Distribution, Inc. (Parts for Industrial Separators and
Decanter Centrifuges), Indianapolis, Indiana
An application has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones Board
(the Board) by the Indianapolis Airport Authority, grantee of FTZ 72,
requesting special-purpose subzone status for the separator and
decanter centrifuge parts distribution facility of Alfa Laval
Distribution, Inc., located in Indianapolis, Indiana. 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 November 5, 1998.
The Alfa Laval facility (22,400 sq. ft. on 2.5 acres) is located at
7601 Winton Drive, Indianapolis, Indiana. The facility (20 employees)
is used for storage, inspection, packaging and distribution of a wide
variety of parts and components for separator and decanter centrifuge
equipment. The products are distributed throughout North and South
America, Europe and Asia. About 30 percent of the parts are sourced
from abroad and over 30 percent are exported. No authority is being
sought for activity conducted under FTZ procedures that would result in
a change in tariff classification.
Zone procedures would exempt Alfa Laval from Customs duty payments
on foreign parts that are reexported. On its domestic sales, the
company would be able to defer duty payments until merchandise is
shipped from the facility. The application indicates that the savings
from zone procedures would help improve the facility's international
competitiveness.
In accordance with the Board's regulations, a member of the FTZ
staff has been appointed examiner to investigate the application and
report to the Board.
Public comment is invited from interested parties. Submissions
(original and 3 copies) shall be addressed to the Board's Executive
Secretary at the address below. The closing period for their receipt is
January 12, 1999. Rebuttal comments in response to material submitted
during the foregoing period may be submitted during the subsequent 15-
day period January 27, 1999.
A copy of the application and accompanying exhibits will be
available for public inspection at each of the following locations:
U.S. Department of Commerce Export Assistance Center, 11405 N.
