    [Docket 30-94]
    
     
    
    Foreign-Trade Zone 73--BWI Airport, MD; Application for Subzone 
    Status Rotorex Company, Inc. (Rotary Compressors) Walkersville, MD
    
        An application has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones Board 
    (the Board) by the Maryland Department of Transportation, grantee of 
    FTZ 73, requesting special-purpose subzone status for the rotary 
    compressor manufacturing plant of the Rotorex Company, Inc. (RCI) 
    (subsidiary of NYCOR, Inc.), located in Walkersville, Maryland. 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 September 6, 
    1994.
        The RCI plant (210,000 sq. ft. on 18 acres) is located at 8301-B 
    Retreat Road in Walkersville (Frederick County), Maryland, about 55 
    miles northwest of Washington, DC. The facility is used to produce 
    rolling piston rotary pumps and compressors for R-22 unitary heat pumps 
    and air conditioners (ranging from 5,000 to 18,000 BTUs) (duty rate--
    3.4%). Components and materials purchased from abroad (some 8% of total 
    value) include: ferrous/non-ferrous powder metal stampings/valves/
    overloads, accumulators, copper discharge tubes, valves, gray iron 
    castings, hermetic motors, capacitors, start assists, and terminals 
    (duty rate range: 0.7-11.2%).
        Zone procedures would exempt RCI from Customs duty payments on the 
    foreign components used in export production. On its domestic sales, 
    RCI would be able to choose the duty rate that applies to finished 
    rotary compressors and pumps (3.4%) for the foreign components noted 
    above. The application indicates that the savings from zone procedures 
    would help improve the company'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 on the application is invited from interested 
    parties. Submissions (original and three copies) shall be addressed to 
    the Board's Executive Secretary at the address below. The closing 
    period for their receipt is November 22, 1994. Rebuttal comments in 
    response to material submitted during the foregoing period may be 
    submitted during the subsequent 15-day period to December 6, 1994.
        A copy of the application and the accompanying exhibits will be 
    available for public inspection at each of the following locations:
    
    U.S. Export Assistance Center, World Trade Center, 401 E. Pratt Street,

    Department of Commerce, Room 3716, 14th Street & Constitution Avenue,

        Dated: September 9, 1994.
    John J. Da Ponte, Jr.,
    Executive Secretary.
