Pursuant to its authority under the ForeignTrade Zones Act of June 18, 1934, as amended (19 U.S.C. 81a81u) (the Act), the ForeignTrade Zones Board (the Board) adopts the following Order:
Whereas, the Bridgeport Port Authority, grantee of FTZ 76, has requested authority under Section 400.28 (a)(2) of the Board's regulations on behalf of Derecktor Shipyards Conn., LLC, to construct and repair passenger vessels under FTZ procedures within FTZ 76 Site 4, Bridgeport, Connecticut (FTZ Docket 252008, filed 4232008);

Whereas, the Board adopts the findings and recommendations of the examiner's report, and finds that the requirements of the FTZ Act and the Board's regulations would be satisfied, and that approval of the application would be in the public interest;
Now, therefore, the Board hereby grants authority for the
construction and repair of passenger vessels within FTZ 76 for
Derecktor Shipyards Conn., LLC, as described in the application and
Federal Register notice, subject to the Act and the Board's
regulations, including Section 400.28, and the following special conditions:

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 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. DSC shall meet its obligation under 15 CFR Sec. 400.28(a)(3) by
annually advising the Board's Executive Secretary 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 zone
primarily because of FTZ procedures and whether the Board should
consider requiring customs duties to be paid on such items.
3. All foreignorigin mooring lines (HTSUS 5607.50) and linens (HTSUS
Heading 6302) must be admitted to the zone in privileged foreign status
