Foreign-Trade Subzone 29E, Scott County, KY; Toyota Automobile Manufacturing
Plant (A-10-88); Manufacturing of Engines, Axles and Steering Columns
TEXT: The Foreign-Trade Zones Board has been advised by Toyota Motor
Manufacturing, U.S.A., Inc. (TMM), that it will soon begin using zone
procedures at its auto assembly plant in Scott County, Kentucky, pursuant
to the authority granted by the Board on December 18, 1987 (Board Order 369,
53 FR 45, 1-4-88). The company indicates that it plans to manufacture
engines, axles, and steering columns, beginning in late 1988, for the
vehicles produced at this plant, instead of importing these items from its
plants abroad as had been indicated in the subzone application.
TMM seeks confirmation that the manufacture of these items under zone
procedures is within the scope of the foregoing Board order. The FTZ Staff
has reviewed the matter, and it appears that the proposed activity involving
the shifting of production of major components to the United States is
within the range of activity sanctioned in the order. Before issuing its
final decision, the FTZ Staff invites the comments of interested parties on
this question.
Comments must be submitted in writing (triplicate) and postmarked on or
before May 12, 1988. They should be addressed as follows: Office of the
Executive Secretary, Foreign-Trade Zones Board, U.S. Department of
Commerce, Room 1529, 14th and Pennsylvania Avenue NW., Washington,
DC 20230.
Dated: April 6, 1988.
John J. Da Ponte, Jr.,
Executive Secretary.
