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

    On October 10, 2017, 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., within Site 6, in Pascagoula, Mississippi.
    The notification was processed in accordance with the regulations 
of the FTZ Board (15 CFR part 400), including notice in the Federal 
Register inviting public comment (82 FR 49177, October 24, 2017). On 
February 7, 2018, the applicant was notified of the FTZ Board's 
decision that no further review of the activity is warranted at this 
time.

[[Page 6162]]

The production activity described in the notification was authorized, 
subject to the FTZ Act and the FTZ Board's regulations, including 
Section 400.14, subject to a restriction requiring that curtains be 
admitted to the zone in privileged foreign status (19 CFR 146.41) or 
domestic status (19 CFR 146.43), and further subject to the following 
conditions:
    (1) Any foreign steel mill products admitted to the zone for the 
Vision Technologies Marine, Inc., activity, 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 full customs duties in accordance 
with applicable law, unless the Executive Secretary determines that the 
same item is not then being produced by a domestic steel mill.
    (2) Vision Technologies Marine, Inc., shall meet its obligation 
under 15 CFR 400.13(b) by annually advising the FTZ Board's Executive 
Secretary as to significant new contracts with appropriate information 
concerning foreign purchases otherwise dutiable, so that the FTZ Board 
may consider whether any foreign dutiable items are being imported for 
manufacturing in the zone primarily because of FTZ procedures and 
whether the FTZ Board should consider requiring customs duties to be 
paid on such items.

    Dated: February 7, 2018.
Andrew McGilvray,
Executive Secretary.
