Foreign-Trade Zone 111 -- JFK Airport, NY; Application for Subzone Sweater
Manufacturing Plant of Jack Young Associates Inc., Queens, NY
TEXT: An application has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones Board (the
Board) by the City of New York, grantee of Foreign-Trade Zone 111, requesting
special-purpose subzone status for the sweater manufacturing plant of Jack
Young Associates, Inc. in New York City, within the New York Customs port
of entry. 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 25, 1985.
The plant is located at 119-20 Merrick Blvd., St. Albans (Queens), New
York. The 50,000-square foot facility is used to produce sweaters under
military contracts and for commercial sales. Subzone status is being
requested only for the firm's export operations, which will involve the
purchase of British wollen yarn for the manufacture of sweaters for
overseas sales.
Zone procedures will allow the company to avoid duty payments on the
foreign yarn used in the exported sweaters, helping it become more
competitive with foreign producers.
In accordance with the Board's regulations, an examiners committee has
been appointed to investigate the application and report to the Board. The
committee consists of: Dennis Puccinelli (Chairman), Foreign-Trade Zones
Staff, U.S. Department of Commerce, Washington, D.C. 20230; Samuel H.
Banks, Area Director, U.S. Customs Service, New York Region, Cargo
Building 80, Jamaica, NY 11430; and Colonel F.H. Griffis, District
Engineer, U.S. Army Engineer District New York, 26 Federal Plaza, New
York, NY 10278.
Comments concerning the proposed subzone are invited in writing from
interested parties. They should be addressed to the board's Executive
Secretary at the address below and postmarked on or before November 15,
1985.
A copy of the application is available for public inspection at each of
the following locations:
