    [Order No. 689]
    
     
    
    Extension of Subzone Status; FTZ Subzone 2G Equitable Shipyards 
    Trinity Marine Group, Inc. (Shipbuilding), New Orleans, LA
    
        Pursuant to its authority under the Foreign-Trade Zones Act of 
    June 18, 1934, as amended (19 U.S.C. 81a-81u), the Foreign-Trade 
    Zones Board (the Board) adopts the following Order.
    
        Whereas, in 1992, the Board of Harbor Commissioners of the Port of 
    New Orleans, grantee of Foreign-Trade Zone 2, was authorized temporary 
    subzone status by the Foreign-Trade Zones Board for the Equitable 
    Shipyards facility in New Orleans, Louisiana (Subzone 2G) (for a period 
    ending April 1, 1994) (Board Order 573, 57 FR 13695, 4-17-92; Board 
    Order 635, 58 FR 25606, 4-27-93);
        Whereas, in 1993, further application was made by the Board of 
    Commissioners for an indefinite extension of said subzone status (FTZ 
    Docket 2-93, 1-21-93; Federal Register notice invited public comment, 
    58 FR 7528, 2-8-93); and,
        Whereas, upon review, the Board has found that the requirements of 
    the FTZ Act and Board's regulations would be satisfied, and that 
    approval of the application for the indefinite extension of subzone 
    status would be in the public interest if approval were given subject 
    to the standard shipyard restriction on foreign steel mill products now 
    in effect for the facility;
        Now, therefore, the Board hereby approves the application for 
    extension of subzone status, subject to the FTZ Act and the Board's 
    regulations, including Sec. 400.28, and subject to the following 
    special conditions:
    
        1. Any foreign steel mill products admitted to the subzone, 
    including plate, angles, shapes, channels, rolled steel stock, bars, 
    pipes and tubes, not incorporated into merchandise otherwise 
    classified, and which is used in manufacturing, shall be subject to 
    Customs duties in accordance with applicable law, if the same item 
    is then being produced by a domestic steel mill; and,
        2. In addition to the annual report, Trinity Marine Group shall 
    advise the Board's Executive Secretary (Sec. 400.28(a)(3)) as to 
    significant new contracts with appropriate information concerning 
    foreign purchases otherwise dutiable, so that the Board may consider 
    whether any foreign dutiable items are being imported for 
    manufacturing in the subzone primarily because of subzone status and 
    whether the Board should consider requiring Customs duties to be 
    paid on such items.
    
        Signed at Washington, DC, this 29th day of March 1994.
    Susan G. Esserman,
    Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Import Administration, Chairman, 
    Committee of Alternates, Foreign-Trade Zones Board.
