Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) 92--Harrison County, Mississippi; 
Notification of Proposed Production Activity; Vision Technologies 
Marine, Inc. (Ocean-Going Vessels) Pascagoula, Mississippi

    The Mississippi Coast Foreign-Trade Zone, Inc., grantee of FTZ 92, 
submitted a notification of proposed production activity to the FTZ 
Board on behalf of Vision Technologies Marine, Inc., located in 
Pascagoula, Mississippi. The notification conforming to the 
requirements of the regulations of the FTZ Board (15 CFR 400.22) was 
received on October 10, 2017.
    The Vision Technologies Marine, Inc., facility is located within 
Site 6 of FTZ 92. The facility is used for the construction, repair and 
refurbishing of ocean-going vessels. Pursuant to 15 CFR 400.14(b), FTZ 
activity would be limited to the specific foreign-status materials and 
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 Vision Technologies 
Marine, Inc., from customs duty payments on the foreign-status 
components used in export production. On its domestic sales, for the 
foreign-status materials/components noted below, Vision Technologies 
Marine, Inc., would be able to choose the duty rates during customs 
entry procedures that apply to: Cargo vessels; passenger vessels; 
tankers; refrigerated vessels; offshore service vessels; fishing 
vessels; tugs and pusher craft; dredgers; offshore drilling or 
production platforms; floating docks; lifeboats; military vessels; and, 
hulls (duty-free). Vision Technologies Marine, Inc., 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 components and materials sourced from abroad include: Polymer 
adhesives; floor bonding and coating; plastic tubes and joints for 
generator sets; plastic flooring; pipe segment insulation; plastic 
generator set spare parts; rubber hoses with fittings; sealing rings; 
curtains; oil booms; rock wool; glass partitions; steel bulb flats; 
pressure vessels; fire dampers; galvanized steel pipe supports; steel 
flanges; marine doors; steel hatch covers; deck transverse stoppers; 
small steel drums; steel gas cylinders; steel metadisc fasteners; steel 
washers; steel fasteners; man-holes; ladders, raceways and ramps; 
expansion bellows; deck socket fittings; hatch covers; aluminum

units; helm chairs; table brackets and plates; seats and accessories; 
furniture; seat parts; searchlights; bathroom modules; and, bilge water 
separators (duty rate ranges from duty-free to 11.3%). The request 
indicates that curtains will be admitted to the zone in privileged 
foreign status (19 CFR 146.41) or domestic status (19 CFR 146.43), 
thereby precluding inverted tariff benefits on such items. The 
production activity under FTZ procedures would be subject to the 
``standard shipyard restriction'' applicable to foreign origin steel 
mill products, which requires that Vision Technologies Marine, Inc., 
pay all applicable duties on such items.
    Public comment is invited from interested parties. Submissions 
shall be addressed to the Board's Executive Secretary at the address 
below. The closing period for their receipt is December 4, 2017.
    A copy of the notification will be available for public inspection
