Lockport, LLC (Shipbuilding), Lafourche, Jefferson and Orleans 
Parishes, 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, the Port of South Louisiana, grantee of FTZ 124, has 
requested authority on behalf of Bollinger Shipyards Lockport, LLC 
(Bollinger), to expand Subzone 124H to include six additional sites in 
Lafourche, Jefferson and Orleans Parishes, Louisiana (FTZ Docket 3-
2002, filed 1/8/2002);
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment has been given in the 
Federal Register (67 FR 1960, 1/15/02);
    Whereas, the Board adopts the findings and recommendations of the 
examiner's report, and finds that the requirements of the FTZ Act and 
Board's regulations would be satisfied, and that approval of the 
application would be in the public interest if approval is subject to 
the conditions listed below;
    Now, therefore, the Board hereby orders:
    The application to expand Subzone 124H on behalf of Bollinger, is 
approved, subject to the FTZ Act and the Board's regulations, including 
Sec. 400.28, and subject to the following 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, unless the Executive 
Secretary determines that the same item is not then being produced by a 
domestic steel mill; and
    2. In addition to the annual report, Bollinger Shipyards Lockport, 
LLC, 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.
